Are The House Democrats, Led By Nancy Pelosi, Setting Some Very Dangerous Precedent?
Tomorrow, Sunday, March 21, 2010, will mark the day that nearly one sixth of the United States economy may be consumed by health care legislation that is not being passed for the people, but rather to preserve what President Obama views his legacy to be. It is not being passed because the people want it, as the majority do not. It is not being passed with any bipartisan support, and it has not been read or understood by the majority voting on it.
It may very well not be voted on at all, but be passed by "deeming" it so. In a country of two party rule and checks and balances, this bill, were it to be passed into law, would bring that system into serious question. This is a sickening display of politics run amok, hijacked by legislative trickery. Our government, at a time when serious issues abound both overseas and at home, has been preoccupied for too many months by this inferior piece of legislation.
Our President, tasked with so much more than cheerleading a bill to the finish line, has worked on little else to the detriment of the nations security and standing.
We will be a weaker country due to the process that this bill has taken us through, all for what is perceived to be political gain. Imagine how much weaker were it to pass.
As a primer, here is a brief explanation of the purpose of The Constitution of the United States.
"...Why is this document in existence? It reflects the desires of the Framers to improve on the government they currently had (to be "more perfect" than the Articles of Confederation), to ensure that that government would be just, and would protect its citizens from internal strife and from attack from the outside. It would be of benefit to the people, rather than to its detriment. And, perhaps as importantly, it intended to do the same for the future generations of Americans..." (USConstitution.net)
If you do not agree with the bill or the way it may be "passed", let your congress man or woman know now!
