Missouri Citizens Set to Vote on 'ObamaCare'

The Missouri Health Care Freedom Act (a.k.a., "Proposition C") is only days away from going before Missouri voters in a first-in-the-nation citizens' referendum on ObamaCare.

When I interviewed Missouri State Sen. Jane Cunningham (R-Chesterfield) eight months ago, the Missouri Health Care Freedom Act was just an idea about to be introduced in the Missouri Senate. Today, the measure (a.k.a., "Proposition C") is only days away -- Aug. 3 -- from going before voters in a first-in-the-nation citizens' referendum on ObamaCare. And it's attracted the attention of both The New York Times and Fox News Channel along the way.

Senator Cunningham informed me over the weekend that she will be a guest on FNC's "Special Report with Bret Baier" Thursday at 5 p.m. Central and that the Times is going to cover the pro-HCFA fundraiser/rally being held Wednesday from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at The Columns Banquet Center in St. Charles, Mo.

Further, the senator said more than $100,000 has been raised, 8,000 yard signs are up, and that radio ads promoting passage of Proposition C will start airing today on radio stations across the state.

According to the Missourians for Health Care Freedom web site, "a YES vote for Proposition C will send a message across the country and around the world that the nation that has brought freedom to so many will not now sacrifice those basic rights to government bureaucrats." I tend to agree.

If you're not familiar with HCFA ("Proposition C"), visit Missourians for Health Care Freedom or read my posts on the Missouri Health Care Freedom Act.

Whatever you do, vote wisely, Missourians! Your health just might depend on it!

Missouri, the Show-Me state. Hopefully the voters of Missouri will examine the health plan in detail and discover there’s no “there” there: just a bunch of taxes and regulations crafted by true believers in the nanny state.

I can’t wait to see Gibb’s explanation when Missouri voters show their deep displeasure with Obamacare. He’ll probably claim they’re too stupid to understand it.

He has no other choice.

If one state votes to opt out and makes it stick (aka wins in the Supreme Court) what will prevent other states from following Missouri’s example?

What will prevent Missouri’s example on other issues?

You know BHOI is looking more and more like Charles I of England, who incited a civil war, raised taxes beyond acceptable levels, and then attempted to rule without Parliament’s consent (His CZARs)
