I just returned from Washington, DC. The City is charged with a frenzied war of words and increasing activity, all revolving around the “Health Care Reform” package which Speaker Nancy Pelosi is trying to get passed quickly. Today, in a rare Saturday session, the “showdown” in the “People’s House” begins. The very term “People’s House” developed in reference to the House of Representatives because it has been perceived as closer to the people then the Senate.
The House, until the passage of the 17th Amendment to the US Constitution, was the only legislative branch to be elected. Senators were chosen by their respective State legislators. The term “People’s House” reflected the widely held perception that the House members were actually closer to the people and listened to them, especially after the amendment. In addition, the fact that each of the 435 members is accountable to a smaller District apportioned according to population, and only served for two years, furthered the impression that it deserved the term “the People’s House”.
Unfortunately, in the debate over “Health Care Reform”, that perception - or what was left of it - is being seriously undermined and nearly eliminated. The amount of money and “special interest” involvement in this process is staggering. The apparent lack of interest in hearing from the people is evident.
For faithful Catholics, we must recognize the primacy of the Fundamental Right to Life and the Dignity of Every Human Person from conception to natural death as we evaluate this proposed legislation.

IMO, it should be renamed “House of Traitors or House of Tyranny” where war was declared upon We The People in the year 2009.
