Tea party needs to organize and put together a constitutional amendment that explicitly places things like health care out of federal hands. Do it through the state legislatures and impose it on Congress.

We need to start by getting both the House and Senate into Republican hands and electing Romney.

Anything less will allow Obamacare to blossom into full blown government takeover of healthcare with the rationing and lack of care that will come with it. It reminds me of an old StarTrak episode, where everyone, who reached the age 60 had to walk into a “disintegrator” to be killed, so they won’t become “burdens on the society”.

The Constitution already prohibits such things.

Ohio passed an amendment to the Ohio Constitution - the Health care freedom amendment (66% of Ohio voters approved this amendment). This was a major effort over 2 years to collect signatures and get it on the ballot.

Health Care Freedom Amendment

From the article below:

Maurice Thompson, director of the 1851 Center for Constitutional Law, wrote the state constitutional amendment that generally prohibits government from forcing Ohioans to participate in a health-care system or imposing related penalties on them if they don’t. It was added to Ohio’s Bill of Rights.

but since the SCOTUS ruling, it is considered to be SYMBOLIC
