It seems that our Congress and President have forgotten the immortal words of our greatest President, Abraham Lincoln, who closed his Gettysburg Address with these immortal words: ". . . .that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth."
The folks in DC need to read those words until they are burned into their brains and their collective subconscious (I can't help but think of the Borg when looking at the Democratic Party lately) and note that it does not say that the government of the Democratic Party, by the Democratic Party, and for the Democratic Party shall not perish. For, indeed, if the Democratic Party rams this mess of a so-called health care reform bill down the throats of the American people, against their will, no less, ignoring the calls of the majority to begin again and do it right without trickery, pork and outright buying of votes, then the Democratic Party will be ousted from power, not only in 2010, but in 2012 as well.
Call Congress now - (202) 224-3121 - and register that you are displeased with this vote, especially if they do an end run around voting and "pass" it by the so-called "deem and pass" (or, should we call it what it is - a "demon pass") measure, which appears unconstitutional on its face.
And, finally, to quote one of our founding fathers, Benjamin Franklin "They who would give up an essential liberty for temporary security, deserve neither liberty or security." I would paraphrase it to say "They who would give up an essential liberty for temporary health care run by an inept government, deserve neither liberty or temporary, inept and limited health care."
