Paladino to Cuomo: Stop Obamacare Now

Upon the US House of Representative’s passage of the national health care bill today in a partisan vote, New York Republican candidate for Governor Carl Paladino released the following letter to New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo.

March 21, 2010
Attorney General Andrew Cuomo
The Capitol

Albany, NY 12224-0341

Dear Mr. Cuomo:

You are the People’s lawyer, sworn to uphold the Constitution. I write as a citizen to urge you to take immediate legal action to stop the unconstitutional health care bill passed today by the Congress and likely to be signed into law by the President.

There are several critical unconstitutional provisions in this bill, including:
For the first time ever, the federal government is forcing people to buy a good or service in the marketplace. In my view, this exceeds Congress’s power under the commerce clause and brings into play the Tenth Amendment of the Constitution which reserves such decisions to the states and the people.

Some versions of the bill stretch the general welfare and due process clauses of the Constitution past the breaking point by exempting some states from certain provisions and giving special privileges to others; and By forcing the states to create “benefit exchanges,” the bill violates federalism and threatens to make states into mere administrative branches of the federal government.

In short, this bill simultaneously establishes a precedent for total elimination of both federalism and individual economic freedom. Obamacare must be stopped – for New Yorkers especially, who pay more for insurance than most Americans. Our Medicaid program is the nation’s most expensive, and we pay exorbitant local and state taxes to support it.

Please do your duty to the People and join other attorneys general in filing suit to halt this destructive and unconstitutional legislation before it does irreparable harm to our already depressed economy.

If I were Governor of New York today, on Monday I would ask the Attorney General to join in unison with dozens of states that will file suit against the federal government to stop Obamacare. I would also call upon the State Legislature to consider a resolution demanding Congress call a convention to amend the Constitution to outlaw this radical extension of federal power into health care.

Your leadership in the next few weeks will speak volumes. New York is listening.

Sincerely,
(original signed)
Carl Paladino

Do you think he gives a damn about the constitution of the U.S.?

It not what I or anyone else thinks about him - he took the oath and now it's his time to he's a man of his word or not.

Some phone calls to his office is needed - either he takes action against ZeroCare or Americans will see his is not a man who can be trusted with his word nor have any desire to follow the Constitution.

Politician are a dime a dozen - If no action against ZeroCare, no need to bother with anyone with the name Cuomo. That's the message I will give him/his office.

“Cuomo is an Obama pet dontchyaknow.”

Let’s keep bringing that up when we talk to people, so voters will know that Cuomo is on the same page with 44% Obama.

We can all help Carl Paladino get more name recognition by calling a talk show and/or writing a letter to the editor.

If we get the full, honest story of Prince Andrew to the legitimate voters of NYS, Paladino’s pet Dachshund would beat him.

“Aug 22, 2006 [Part 1]

As Secretary of HUD, Andrew Cuomo reversed the policy of selling defaulted mortgages so that families could keep their homes. Instead, he chose to foreclose on mortgages, which meant that families lost their homes and insiders cleaned up on fire-sale priced properties. The US Treasury also lost billions.”

Of course there’s so much more.
