We need more journalists and broadcasters like this man, Michelle Malkin, Glenn Beck and John Stossel, and less like Dan Rather, Jack Cafferty, Katie Kouric and Keith Olbermann, IMO.

rd Kathy Castor...Communist Tampa. Has just cancelled her town hall in South Tampa for Tuesday. She found out 5 or 10 thousand Patriots were going to show up. They are running for the hills. She can not wait to get back to the friendly confines of the HIVE in Washington. There is no excuse for this and she know she is history. I wonder how we can terminate her pension and health care. They can not understand they are not our RULERS.

“Restoring our republic to our founders’ vision”

Our protection: “The constitution was designed to protect individual liberty from the government.”

The problem:” Lobbyists are a huge problem but the root of the problem in the unconstitutional government.”

The solution: "When the people fear the government there is tyranny, when the government fears the people, there is liberty.” - Thomas Jefferson

[Dick Bachert]

Mr. Jefferson warned us over 200 years ago:
“Yes, we did produce a near-perfect REPUBLIC but will they keep it? Or will they, in the enjoyment of plenty, LOSE THE MEMORY OF FREEDOM? Material abundance without character is the path to destruction.”

And a more RECENT warning from 26 years ago:

"Wark says that health industries have spent $300 million to lobby against HR 3200. Maybe it's because the health-care bill states on Page 16, "Limitation On New Enrollment:" "the individual health insurance issuer offering such coverage does not enroll any individual in such coverage if the first effective date of coverage is on or after the first day of the year the legislation becomes law." In other words, you cannot change your insurance once the bill goes through. If you leave your job for whatever reason, you cannot get private coverage again, and like myself, if you have no insurance when the bill becomes law, you cannot buy private insurance; you are forced to enroll in the government "option."

I'd heard this before, but wasn't sure if it was actually in the bill. Why are the folks at Town Hall Meetings not grilling their legislators on this? Considering the frequency with which folks change jobs these days, it won't be long before MOST folks are under the 'government plan', if this comes to fruition.

BINGO! Why do you think it was written that way?

[freespirited]

This is my understanding also. Current plans would not be able to take new subscribers under HR 3200. If that alone doesnt put them out of business a clause that prohibits them from changing their terms will.

Our insurance changes the terms every year. Presumably this is necessary to stay competitive.

When the government interferes with business, is it any surprise business will interfere with government? ... When corporations team up with government, it is not a free market; it is the opposite of capitalism and free-market economics.
