Well, Democrats in Washington did it. They unilaterally passed a $938 billion health care plan that was overwhelmingly disapproved by Americans.
But not to worry, the United Nations Health Organization proclaimed our leaders courageous for their actions. I will prefer to call them extinct.
Voters fought, called, protested, and debated up until the moment of the vote. With willful blindness, many in the Democratically-controlled Congress simply chose to ignore their constituents.
It is easy to argue that the health care bill was the wrong prescription for our ailing economy and growing deficit. It is just as easy to argue against such a seismic shift to the size and influence of our government; anything that required so much intra-Democratic Party arm-twisting, threats and bribes to get it through their own caucus can't be good for our nation. But Democrats in Washington aren't satisfied there. Today our banks, auto industry, student loans all join our health care as being instruments of the federal government.
We've watched as, one by one, new segments of the economy have moved into the government's balance sheet. The American people have been overlooked in favor of new power, new control, and new taxes. We've seen rough economic times, are still seeing them, but in spite of inappropriate government action we will make it through.
And come this November, voters will have a choice. A choice between a Republican Party that hopefully will have returned to its roots of smaller and limited government and responsible fiscal policies versus a Democratic Party that will stop at nothing to grow our government and grow our debt.
The time is now for us to act. Each of us has a responsibility to get engaged, help Republicans get elected and demand that Washington recoil from its massive expansion. I will do my part as well. Our PAC, Reagan PAC, is dedicated to finding and supporting Republican candidates that recognize the contemporary conservative principles of Ronald Reagan and are committed to their realization. We will target Democratic candidates in key swing districts across the nation who recently voted in support of this dangerous health care legislation, and seek to find qualified conservative candidates in these districts and states and others who can help return America on a path to prosperity.
We will also be working to defend the Republican candidates who have stood for sound, limited government in the face of an overwhelming big-government presence so that our worthy elected officials can stand against the volley liberal Democrats are sure to fling their way. And throughout this country, I will be on the ground working with activists, both conservative and independent, to build a new coalition for individual liberty.
I am eager to get to work, to further my father's legacy and restore the greatness of this country.
This fight is important. This fight will not be easy, but the outcome will determine the shape of our nation for decades to come. This fight cannot be won without all of us becoming engaged come this November. I ask that in the coming days you visit www.thereaganpac.com to join the fight to renew America.

PING and pass around the link.
Odumbo’s out getting ready for the “free” handouts, telling people how the government is taking care of them and all at the “rich” people are going to pay for it. Remind all who listens to this BS, WHO’S GONNA SUFFER WHEN 30 MILLION MORE ILLEGALS START TAKING JOBS?.Who’s gonna suffer when there are no doctors to take their government issued ID? WHO’S going to suffer when their grandmother is passed over for Julio and his parents when they insist on getting their babies fed?
Right on!!!!!!!!
Lets Roll!
Awesome Mike. Looking forward to it. Hopefully you could get your lib-bat brother and sister to join you but I’m doubtful they will oblige.
We should start the end of obama control by taking some of the rats talking points away from them.
First and foremost is the ten year projections.
They are useless and full of holes and basically just more lies. There is no takeover of govt. like this one even around to compare. And other huge govt. projects are notorious deficit makers and unaffordable as is this one.
It doesn't take too much effort to show that this boondoggle is more like a 250-400 billion dollar expense per year at best and no one could prove that one one way or the other but Newt has some great calculations and I believe he uses the number 2.5 billion over ten years which divided by 6 gets a lot closer.
Second we should not let the rats play both sides or triangulate the tea party patriots as they are doing now. They either hate them or love them they can't have it both ways. And they should not be allowed to insinuate they want a third party when most don't. We have to check their dem/chat, rat/chat at every corner or pay the price such as we did when the got away with demonizing GW for 8 years or more like 10 at this point.
I said MORE.....no fence,freebies galore, there will be at least that much MORE from today
