WASHINGTON -- Congressman John Sullivan introduced H.Res. 1063 Wednesday, a resolution expressing the sense of Congress that it is unconstitutional for the federal government to require American citizens to purchase government approved health insurance, or else face criminal penalty. The Sullivan resolution also demands the removal of the individual health insurance mandate from any final healthcare reform bill that Congress considers. Congressman Sullivan issued the following statement after introduction of the resolution.

“My resolution builds off the efforts of at least 36 state legislatures, including Oklahoma, that are looking to limit or oppose health mandates in the House and Senate passed health care reform bills that would require purchase of government approved health insurance. These state actions are in direct opposition to the draconian national health care reform measures that Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid are negotiating behind closed doors behind the backs of the American people” Sullivan said.

I think that Americans simply should refuse to comply with any order to buy health insurance. If enough of us did that, then the whole shebang will collapse. Problem is, I doubt there are enough stalwarts who would do so.

Lots of obstacles to DeathCare are popping up.

State attorneys general are getting in line to press its legality.
State legislatures are sharpening their swords to defy it.
Citizens will sue.

Harry & Nan are running out of friends.

Harrah Rep. Sullivan !!! A man of courage.
