The Whitehouse has just opened the door to bi-partisanship...so they say. They have allowed some of the Republican points to be allowed into the faltering health care bill, although I'm not sure of why the need for more regulation on the Fed Level... Why do these people not listen to the folks? What is so wrong with free market?Let the insurance industry be allowed to become open to all states, allow each state to regulate the insurance companies, rein in the lawyers...and keep the Feds out of the game.

Thomas Jefferson knew the outcome when he said, "I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them". He also said, "My reading of history convinces me that most bad government results from too much government." I know that the bureaucracy feeds upon itself, but we need to vote these people out of office who don't heed to the will of the people. It matters not if they think it is for our best interest, because their ideas are based on power and a socialist plan that has never worked favorably in the history of mankind.. The founding Fathers had the idea of a Republic, where only the elected should decide on the direction of our country, but as Benjamin Franklin indicated, our freedom is predicated on personal responsibility....the original intent was based on integrity and decency for the betterment of all...the current leadership has a contrary opinion for our great land...and should be drummed out, never to return again.....

The Tea Party activists must be doing what they hope to have accomplished as the Obama Administration appears to be floundering in their inability to come to a consensus on several major bills. Also, it has gotten the attention of some so-called grass roots groups, in that they are channeling funds from some Left wing organizations to thwart the Right wing "rebellion". Who are the true grass roots people in this country. Those that are trying to forever change the way America governs herself, or the folks that like things pretty much the way they are. We have been easing into a Socialist State for a couple of decades, now. Okay, compassion for the down-trodden is a good thing, but not at the huge, life altering, nation diminishing, futuristic demise of generations to come type of pressure. Let's try not to reinvent the wheel...what is wrong with personal accountability...standing on our own two feet....get the government out of the way of capitalism and we will all prosper.
