Vote on Healthcare Happens In the middle of the night- When did we elect Ninjas to Office?

On Monday, Republican Chairman Michael S. Steele said that Democrats were "thumbing their nose and flipping the bird to the American people." Steele also said in a conference call with reporters, "I intend to have my foot on the throats of the Democrats on this issue and hold them accountable." Democrats seeking reelection in 2010, he warned, "can look for their pink slips." The latest Rasmussen Reports weekly tracking update shows that 41% of voters nationwide favor the bill and 55% are opposed. Those figures are essentially unchanged from a week ago.This is the fifth straight week with support for the legislation between 38% and 41%. Among senior citizens, the group most likely to use the health care system, just 33% are in favor while 60% are opposed. Polling released last week showed that 57% of voters say that passing nothing would be preferable to passing the current legislation. Most voters, some 54%, say they will be worse off if the bill passes.

With this much condemnation from voters, it is no wonder that they would sneak off to vote on this, not just in the middle of a snowstorm but also in the middle of the night on a Sunday. What are they ninjas; meeting in secret and trying to hide from the rest of us? These men and women are elected to represent the majority of the people in their respective states, right? Am I just imagining the roll these people are supposed to be playing? Who are these people that they can put the ideals of a few above the wishes of the majority? This has gone far beyond just a division of political views. It has turned into an out and out rebellion against the American people. I don't agree with the healthcare bill, but if a majority of Americans wanted it, I would go along with it because I believe that what makes our country great is that we as American people can decide what is right for us as a nation. If I wanted to live under the rule of someone else, I would I would have moved to communist China or Cuba long ago. This is the United States of America. It is time for a revolution. It is time to throw these would be Kings and Queens out on their butts and make the people in Washington listen to the will of the people. I for one will vote against EVERY SINGLE incumbent next year and ask that you do the same.

This is not just about healthcare. This is about the fabric that makes up this great nation. If we allow them to say, "we don't care what you want about this", what is to keep them from saying it about other issues in the future? Next time, maybe it will be a population ban saying that you can only have so many children, forcing you to kill any extras'. How about an income ceiling saying you are only allowed so much because we have to give to others that don't make as much. After all everyone should get an equal piece of the pie, right? This bill not only raises taxes on an already overburdened society, but also undermines everything that once made our nation great.

This is a call to action! If you want to see our country turned completely away from the principles of our founding fathers, do nothing. If you want to see America restored to the proud democracy it once was. Call you representatives and tell them to vote against this bill because the American people DO NOT want it. Tell them if they vote to pass this bill we will vote them out of office. Do not be silent about this!!!! This is too important to just let go. Who is with me?
