It now appears that a vote will come down this week on health care reform. I need not point out that this vote very well may dictate the direction our country takes for decades to come. It will also define our generation in the annals of American history…

All things that we cherish and hold dear are now being threatened. What will YOU do? Will we, as American citizens, be up to the task? Will we honor our civic responsibility and the memory of our founding fathers? Can we look our children and grandchildren in the eye and be able to say ‘I did all that I could do’?

In today’s age, we throw quotes around as if they’re so many nickles, however, I ask you to take a silent moment and really read the following quote;

“You and I have a rendezvous with destiny. We will preserve for our children this, the last best hope of man on earth, or we will sentence them to take the first step into a thousand years of darkness. If we fail, at least let our children and our children’s children say of us we justified our brief moment here. We did all that could be done” — Ronald Reagan

There is a rally being held in Washington D.C. on Tuesday, for those who can, you should be there! For those who cannot, then you should visit the local office of your U.S. Representatives. In most cases, that will take an hour out of your day. For those who cannot do that, a phone call or fax will work just as well.

This is a serious time in America, folks…does it matter to you how our generation will be viewed by those who follow us? We CAN make a difference, if we harness that great American spirit, as so many have done before us, and unleash it upon those who wish to oppress us!

“If there must be trouble let it be in my day, that my child may have peace” Thomas Paine

Phil Russo, Jason Hoyt and Tom Tillison sincerely thank Congressman Steve King for his leadership and fight for liberty.

Declaration of Health Care Independence

In order to retain the Blessings of Liberty as secured to us by our Founding Fathers and as expressed in our Constitution, We the People reject the imposition upon us of a new, Washington-controlled system of government-run health care.  We demand Constitutional protection of the right to make our own health decisions and our own health care choices free of government denials, bureaucratic red-tape, and greater intergenerational debt.

A Washington takeover of American health care will  

     1)  Deny fundamental personal and economic liberties and indisputably violate the Principle of Limited Government as established by the Constitution; 

     2)  Impose increased costs and taxes upon individuals, families, and businesses, as well as taxpayers at the federal, state, and local levels; 

     3)  Irreparably cripple the American economy, at the cost of jobs, businesses, productivity, and quality of life;

     4)  Create an inescapable new tax by imposing individual and employer mandates; 

     5)  Institutionalize a massive, ever-expanding federal bureaucracy that is impersonal and impractical;

     6)  Empower bureaucrats to interfere in the doctor-patient relationship, undermine the quality of care, limit choice, and increase the cost of health care.  
 
We have appealed to the decency of the elected majority to respect the rights of all Americans, but their leaders have been deaf to the Voice of the People.  We are appalled by their cavalier disregard of the Constitution and of the demands of the People.  We are repulsed by their blatant political bribes and kickbacks.

We, therefore, the People and Representatives of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, do solemnly Publish and Declare that health care reform, as a matter of principle must

     1)   Protect as inviolate the vital doctor-patient relationship;

     2)   Reject any addition to the crushing national debt heaped upon all Americans; 

     3)   Improve, rather than diminish, the quality of care that Americans enjoy;

     4)   Be negotiated publically, transparently, with genuine accountability and oversight, and be free from political favoritism; 

     5)   Treat private citizens at least as well as political officials; 

     6)   Protect taxpayers from compulsory funding of abortion; 

     7)   Reject all new mandates on patients, employers, individuals, or states;

     8)   Prohibit expansion of taxpayer funded health care to those unlawfully present in the United States;

     9)   Guarantee Equal Protection under the law and the Constitution;

     10) Empower, rather than limit, an open and accessible marketplace of health care choice and opportunity.
