We'll take flame thrower heat over this. Reform must come from us/the states, meaning the threat of a constitutional convention if Congress does not propose repeal.
Recall the FR posts on state nullification, polls on Obamacare and Mark's comments regarding Obama's abuse of the states. Also, didn't 26 states join in the lawsuit against Obamacare? There is more than a whiff of resistance in the air, and it isn't just from the stomped on Tea Party groups.
Mark is not only a genius, he is a practical street-fighter. I cannot imagine he will not have substantive ideas to make reform happen.
Perhaps the National Conference of State Legislatures is a place for our local reps to start.
Are there arguments that would also appeal to the liberal states? If it can be framed as a win/win for the whole country, it will have a better chance. Right now, our US Senators must be elected by populations larger than some countries. So the amount of money poured into their campaigns means almost inevitably they will be answering to some sort of big money interest, whether it is big banks/ big corporations/ or big unions. If there is a way to make the case that it is better to have the state legislators decide who will represent the state, and that actually it will bring the power back down closer to the common person, maybe that would be an argument that would fly with both liberals and conservatives (not liberal and conservative politicians because they will want the status quo...)
Wonder which side the media would take if this actually became a matter of national debate?
