I read the Slaughter Solution article last night, after reading Carl Cameron's article, Senate Health Care Bill Dead on Arrival, Pro-Life House Democrats Say.
Given the subject matter of the Cameron article, I thought the Slaughter Solution referred to the abortion provisions of the current "health care bill." Apt name for what Obamacare is trying to do... to our youngest and to our elderly. Have to thin the rolls somehow, to keep costs down. Whether you slaughter at the front end or deny care at the end of life (and just WHO determines that euphemism???), either way -- it's slaughter.
So... I was surprised to find that the Slaughter Solution actually refers to House Rules Chairwoman Louise Slaughter (NY 28) who plans to re-write the rules to declare that the House "deems" the Senate version of Obamacare to have been passed by the House. House members would vote on the rule, but not on the bill. Remember "I voted for it before I voted against it" or "That depends on what the definition of 'Is', is."
How stupid do they think we are? Do they really think voters will forget these machinations?
Times have changed. Passions are engaged. Threaten my income, way of life, basic decision-making abilities, re: healthcare and other choices... that's one thing. But this power grab for 1/6 of the American economy does more than try and take away my freedom of choice. It will kill our economy and continue the devastation of free-market principles that began with the TARP bailouts and the assertion that "Certain companies are 'too big to fail.'"
Fiscal Responsibility. Constitutionally Limited Government. Free Market Principles.
No where in evidence in ANY social reeingineering project being pushed by this administration...
...I was traveling for business earlier this week and took a copy of Glenn Beck's Common Sense in my carry-on. Excellent read. But even better, was re-reading the original Common Sense by Thomas Paine. Such clarity, commitment, and yes, common sense. Oh, for such leaders today.
But we DO have those leaders. It's each one of us, at kitchen tables, with family and friends, at Patriot and Tea Party meetings, 912 Project events, rallies, protests. It's you, reading this now. We can, we have, made a difference.
Because our passion goes beyond republican, democrat and independent. Beyond conservative and liberal (or as they prefer now, progressive). The threat is to the survival of our Nation. And our commitment and passions are equal to the threat.
Our rights come not from the Declaration and Constitution -- these amazing documents simply state what our Founders knew to be obvious -- that our rights and freedoms are from God. We the People, GRANT, LOAN certain powers to the government.
Information is power. Communication is key. There IS strength in numbers and in the peaceful use of the tools guaranteed to us. We have a short time left to use those tools to influence the healthcare debate. Call. Write. Rally. Pray for our Nation.

WWII Veteran's Juggernaut Campaign
Bert Burnette, Oriental, NC has proven and perfected the Juggernaut Campaign, first implemented for the 912 March on the Capitol. Read a complete overview of Bert's 912 success as reported by the County Compass. Now we can help Bert STOP the politicians' unprecedented attempt to usurp power and circumvent the will of We the People in their health care takeover attempt. It's simple. Inexpensive. And extremely effective because it is so VISUAL. Almost as good as seeing 1.5 million people surrounding the United States Capitol. Complete details and links here.
