"The Will of the People?"

So the U.S. Senate voted 60-39 last night to proceed with debate on the new nationalized "Health Care Reform" proposed by the Democrat leadership in the House. Supporters will say that this is the will of the people. After all, these Senators were legally elected. They followed the rules of the Senate, and they took a vote and it passed. So this is the representatives of the 50 states following the will of the people. Stop your belly-aching, Jeff! This is how "democracy" works. . .right?

This is not the will of the people. Most recent polling (Rasmussen and Foxnews) demonstrates that most Americans do not want these bills to be passed into law. Rasmussen shows 49%-47% oppose this legislation. Foxnews' polls in the last two weeks show anywhere from 54%-52% oppose the House and Senate bills.

The leadership of the Senate lies to us in the name of the "health reform bill." In the cloture vote to consider HR 3950 last night, the actual name of the bill that will takeover your health care is called "Service Members Home Ownership Tax Act of 2009." The description in the bill is "a bill to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to modify first time homebuyers credit in the case of members of the Armed Forces and certain other Federal employees, and for other purposes." This is the health reform bill? Yep, according to the liars in the Senate.

The leadership of the Senate buys off the votes of its members in order to gain their support. For example, Mary Landrieux of Louisiana supports Harry Reid's Senate bill because they wrote certain exemptions in the bill just for her state! It's found on page 432 of Reid's bill (see http://blogs.abcnews/thenote/2009/11/the-100-million-health-care-vote.html).

The Senate and House vote on bills they do not even read (or intend to read). They exempt themselves from the same health care legislation.

Both Senate and House bills create a bureaucracy (Health Services Administration) that will control, regulate, and manipulate every aspect of your life. How does that stack up with the "unalienable right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness?"

The leadership says the legislation will cost only $800 billion over the next 10 years. This from the same people who put us $1.4 Trillion in the whole this year alone, and have lied to us about cost projections for decades!

This is not "reform." This is "deform." This is a hostile, purposeful attempt to deform limited, Constitutional government.

A Congress that sets up laws for a free people to be ruled by the decrees of czars violates its own oath to uphold the Constitution, and has lost its authority to govern.

No government under our Constitution as it stands today has the right to enslave its own people.

The leadership of the Congress has no credibility, and their authority should be considered null and void.
