THE SLEEPING GIANT HAS AWAKEN

Congress in its quest to pass Obama Care has hit a new low. When you don’t have the votes, change the rules. You use gimmicks such as the Slaughter Rule (deeming) or something called reconciliation. You do whatever it takes to ram the legislation through regardless of the constituent’s outcry. Congress tells us this is not new; it’s been done many times. As a citizen have you heard of these gimmicks before? Probably not. Do you feel this is the way Congress should do business?

Congress has become a disgrace and needs a lot of housecleaning. People are tired of the lies and deceit. They want representatives who work for them not the President, the Party or special interest groups. The sleeping giant has awakened. The voices are growing and getting louder, people are mad. To pass Obama Care representatives are being bought and cajoled with promises, jobs and incentives. We don’t know what goes on behind those closed doors, but the deals are being made to swing the votes. What we do know is that $500 billion is being cut from Medicare, the debt will skyrocket, taxes will increase, premiums will go up, Washington will still have its benefits, few in Congress will understand or read the 2000 page bill, Education will be added, and don’t forget the pork and bribes to close the deals..

If something breaks in your home, do you buy a new house? No, you fix what’s broken. It’s time for Washington to stop playing games and fix what’s broken. We don’t need a new health care system: we need to fix the current system. What we do need is a new Congress that abides by the Constitution, The Bill of Rights and works for their constituents, not the President, Party or special interest groups.
