I must respond to an editorial written by Andie Dominick in the Des Moines Register on the 23^rd of January.

He writes, “They sent him (Obama) … with huge …majorities in Congress – … that would help ensure this country would finally have meaningful health reform.

Wrong!!! They sent him to the white house because the Republicans had departed from their conservativism, had spent too much, and had grown government. Another reason is the all out effort of the media to further their liberal agenda, found every way possible to not tell the American people they were getting a radical Saul Alinskiesque socialist. Sorry, as of yet, most Americans don’t want that and spoke their minds in Massachusetts etc.

He continues, “I’ve talked to scores of people who are beyond being frustrated with this country’s broken health-care system.

Interesting that the government will spend a few hundred million dollars that is not theirs on Haiti, The American people will spend, out of the goodness of their hearts, billions; the estimate is seven billion dollars.

Why? Because we are good people and care of our neighbor when the need arises. The government has usurped the responsibility of neighbors and botched the job of taking care of people as they usually do when they overstep their bounds and meddle. Thus the health care system has suffered.

“Obama should demand Democrats finish health reform. He should demand it loudly and publicly and relentlessly.”

Hmmm? That’s what they do in countries that are ruled by DICTATORS. Our governmental trio does not work that way. What you have stated is the mindset of the fascist. You don’t even see that. You hide behind the curtain of compassion, while you rip and tear at the freedom we so dearly love, until the freedom disappears and evil takes over, and you are under its subjugation.

“We all know it is right to take care of the people of this country by providing something as basic as health care.”

And we would do it were it not for the interference of government. We are a good people, following a just and merciful God who teaches us that we should care for the poor. We do not need force to do good, Remember, that was Satan’s plan, which God rejected. Remember? That’s why he got thrown out of heaven in the first place.

Here are the principles that the Republicans espouse on healthcare reform, that the democratic majority will not even listen too. We must demand their inclusion in the process by speaking out loud and long to our democratic brethren, the media, and each other in tea party-like opportunities around this nation.

We, therefore, the People and Representatives of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, do solemnly Publish and Declare that health care reform, as a matter of principle must

1) Protect as inviolate the vital doctor-patient relationship;

2) Reject any addition to the crushing national debt heaped upon all Americans;

3) Improve, rather than diminish, the quality of care that Americans enjoy;

4) Be negotiated publically, transparently, with genuine accountability and oversight, and be free from political favoritism;

5) Treat private citizens at least as well as political officials;

6) Protect taxpayers from funding of abortion and abortion coverage;

7) Reject all new mandates on patients, employers, individuals, or states;

Prohibit expansion of taxpayer funded health care to those unlawfully present in the United States;

9) Guarantee Equal Protection under the law and the Constitution;

10) Empower, rather than limit, an open and accessible marketplace of health care choice and opportunity.
