The federal health care bill must be repealed!

The United States is at a crossroads of its existence--fighting for its lifeblood. On one side are those who believe in personal liberty and a government held accountable to constitutionally enumerated powers. On the other side are those who feel that individuals are incompetent to provide for themselves and its government's role to provide for their needs. The path chosen will determine whether the people of this great nation will remain proud and free, or subjected and dependant. I choose the former.

The Health Care debate represents our "line in the sand" from which we cannot retreat. THE FEDERAL HEALTH CARE BILL MUST BE REPEALED! Proponents of government run healthcare feel the free market is flawed, and that decisions by governmental bureaucrats and politicians are fairer. The truth is just the opposite.

THE ONLY SOLUTION TO THE CURRENT HEALTH CARE PROBLEM IS THE RE-INTRODUCTION OF FREE MARKET PRINCIPLES.
