They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.
One of our founding fathers is credited with penning those prophetic words over 200 years ago. Tonight, the Pelosi health care bill passed the House of Representative. If this “health care reform” passes the senate and is signed by the president, American citizens will be under even more government oppression than they already are. We will have lost the freedom to choose for ourselves what we feel is best for our own lives regarding health care.
The democrats say they want freedom of choice- the freedom for same sex couples to marry, the freedom for a woman to end the life of the child in her womb… yet they deny Americans the choice of health care? They increase my taxes to pay for the health care of others that may not even want it? They take my hard earned money and apply it as they see fit, denying me the opportunity to spend it on a little poor child’s Christmas presents? I love Angel tree programs. I always do what I can to help. This year might be the last year, as my taxes sky rocket to support massive government entitlement programs.
Please tell the children that I’m sorry.

With un- and under-employment on the longest downward slide since the Great Depression, Detroit in a tailspin, and only small businesses offering any hope of hiring people, here’s a great idea: let’s add an 8% tax onto the cost of doing business.
