Rolling Thunder founder Artie Muller: 'Don't get me started on "Obamacare"'
Washington Times ^ | May 25, 2013 | By Jennifer Harper

There is no better name for an event that resonates with patriotism, deep loyalty and an authentic sense of mission: Rolling Thunder. Oh, yeah. Here they come. They’re rolling, and it is thunderous.

At least a half-million riders were expected for the 26th annual Ride for Freedom.

“Everything about this rally still affects me, no matter how many years we’ve been doing it. And everything we do is meant to remember and honor our POWs, MIAs and all of our veterans,” said former U.S. Army Sgt. Artie Muller, who founded the organization in 1987 and named it for a U.S. bombing campaign over North Vietnam more than two decades earlier.

“I lost a whole lot of guys in that war. I never forget that I made it back but they didn’t,” he said. Just don’t mention health care reform to Mr. Muller, though.

“Don’t get me started on ‘Obamacare,’” he says. He is no fan of the incoming Affordable Care Act and is particularly piqued over backlogs on disability claims, military budget cuts and increases in prescription costs for veterans. They are scheduled to rise from $9 to $36, he said.

“Why is that? Many vets can’t even afford their medications now. It’s a disgrace,” Mr. Muller said.

I was there today, and it was breathtaking. So many good men and women, young and old, all turning out to honor our vets, our fallen, and those left behind. And the spectators! Cheering, waving flags, saluting...I was so proud and grateful to be there and a part of this.

God bless the USA!

I had watched the concert in DC for Memorial Day and Colin Powell could simply had said a simple “thank-you” to the vets without getting into great details.

I practice what I preach: THANK-YOU to those who have had or are now serving.

“Dictator”? Is that a tongue in cheek designation?
