Conservative Thoughts

Liberals claim to want to give a hearing to other views, but then are shocked and offended to discover that there are other views. --William F. Buckley Jr.

Waiting For The Fat Lady To Sing E-mail

ImageIt's not over 'til it's over.  On Thursday at 7:00 am Washington time, the Senate will vote Harry Reid's healthcare train wreck one step closer to reality.  The Republicans let the majority off the hook by agreeing to allow an early vote so everyone could go home for the Christmas holiday.  I'm glad the Conservatives are being so accommodating.  We wouldn't want to inconvenience anyone.  After all it's just a matter of changing healthcare, jobs and taxes FOR THE REST OF OUR LIVES!

Thankfully, as in a Wagnerian tragedy, this thing isn't over until the fat lady sings, and she hasn't even taken the stage yet.  There is still time to get to these people, both Senators and Representatives.  Each house will need to vote this travesty into law, so we have more potential targets to receive our ire.  We aren't able to lavish millions of dollars on our lawmakers as Harry Reid did, so the only way we can get their attention is through the ballot.  We can withhold votes and send these carpetbaggers packing.  We need to make them acutely aware that we intend to do so, and we have to do it a lot over the next several weeks.

Luckily, there is a web site that will help you do just that.  If you follow this link , it will make contacting your lawmakers dirt simple.  Just input your name and address, and it will set up a message screen that will directly e-mail your Representatives and Senators.  There is a thoughtfully pre-written letter, or you can add and revise as you desire.  I urge you to do it now and do it often.  Even the dimmest politician has to eventually acknowledge the shifting tide of opinion and the wishes of the people.  The Democrats are riding high on the adrenaline rush of winning a skirmish.  When the realization finally hits that they will stand alone before the electorate, and be judged by their vote, the Liberal fortress may start to crumble.

This Christmas holiday, as you enjoy and do things for your family and loved ones, take a few moments to do something for their future.  Contact your lawmakers and remind them what a colossal mistake this legislation is.  Remind them that you are not a fool and you know when you are being hoodwinked.  Remind them that this bill got where it is with the thinnest of margins, bribery and backroom deals.  Remind them that it only  takes a few individuals to stand up and oppose this disaster.  Most of all, remind them that there is still room in Washington for heroes.

This healthcare reform is nothing short of a tax nightmare. It frustrates me when somebody says "free healthcare". It's NOT free... it's YOUR money, in the form of taxes, forcing you to pay for something whether you want it or not! This is against what America stands for.

Hey tax resolution, I agree with a lot of what you say, but you must also agree that the healthcare system is broken in its current form.
