Re: Healthcare Reform

More | Report Post

There are several Constitutional challenges to the health reform law. There are a
few brave and patriotic state Attorneys General who are launching a challenge.
Others seem more concerned with politics than their fiduciary duties to the state.
Hopefully, these cowards will be identified and voted out of office or fired as the
case may be - that includes Eric Holder.

The State Attorney General is our last line of defense from a runaway Federal
government who seems intent on trampling State Rights and the rights of citizens. In
one year, this administration has buried deeper the Constitution than the last five
administrations combined.

I am hopeful one day we can elect a true Libertarian to restore the Republic for
these are most assuredly dark, oppressive times.
