Well it has happened. Healthcare reform has been forced upon the people. The US government has changed from the republic our founding fathers had built. Why? The founders knew it could happen.
If men of wisdom and knowledge, of moderation and temperance, of patience, fortitude and perseverance, of sobriety and true republican simplicity of manners, of zeal for the honour of the Supreme Being and the welfare of the commonwealth; if men possessed of these other excellent qualities are chosen to fill the seats of government, we may expect that our affairs will rest on a solid and permanent foundation.
Samuel Adams, letter to Elbridge Gerry, November 27, 1780
As Samuel Adams indicates, the wrong kinds of people have been seated over our government. ObamaCare is unconstitutional and if you are a true patriot of our constitution and bill of rights, you will not sit down and take it. It is pretty simple to fight. Use your voice in many petitions available and your vote to change those who would not listen to the people who overwhelmingly spoke against it. The worst thing you could do is give up and say “there is nothing I can do”. That only put you in the company Mr. Adams outlined and into the “handout mentality” Obama seems to be courting instead of allowing charity to work.
This is a call not to the Democrats or Republicans (whether liberal or conservative) but to those who wish to keep our nation a democratic republic and stop the slide to any type of socialism. Again, I’ll let Samuel Adams say better what I wish you will heed.
Let each citizen remember at the moment he is offering his vote that he is not making a present or a compliment to please an individual — or at least that he ought not so to do; but that he is executing one of the most solemn trusts in human society for which he is accountable to God and his country.
Samuel Adams, in the Boston
