This Sunday, March 21st 2010, America will realize the "CHANGE" that it was promised during the last presidential campaign! The takeover has begun!
With the very pillars of our Republic being assaulted, the epic battle for Health Care Reform will take place in the hallowed halls of Congress this weekend. In spite of a populous movement that overwhelmingly opposes the legislation, the Democratic majority is dead set on ramming the legislation through. The Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, needs 216 votes to pass the legislation through the House. However, what is cleverly being overlooked and downplayed is the fact that the Senate version differs significantly from the House version.
Presently, congress is receiving in excess of 100,000 phone calls per day in regards to the legislation, there is no way to determine what percentage of the calls are in favor of or against the legislation, but one can rest assured that due to recent polls it would be safe to say that the majority of Americans clearly "do not want this legislation."
Another interesting twist to the weekends events is the now infamous "Slaughter Rule." Named after NY Representative Louise Slaughter, this measure could literally circumvent the constitutional process. This procedure would not require an up or down vote, but rather allow the house to "deem," the piece of legislation was passed and then permit the members to vote on several sidebars or amendments to the bill. This procedure is not new to Washington and has been implemented in the past, but never in a situation of this magnitude.
For the Democrats, to pursue the Slaughter rule as a back up plan is more than likely assuring the legislation will be on the Presidents desk as early as Monday morning for his "historic" signature. The effects of this legislation will be paramount to the future of this country and will leave no doubt as to the Socialistic agenda of the current progressive hierarchy in this country.
If past measures were not enough, we are about to witness the official shredding of the United States Constitution. Our Federal Government has sent a piercing dagger into the heart of our system of checks and balances and the hemorrhaging of our life blood, LIBERTY, will begin to rapidly flow from our bosom until we will cease to be the America of our forefathers.
NOTE:
Article 1, Section 7 of the Constitution stipulates that for any bill to become a law, it must pass both the House of Representatives and the Senate. The language is very clear the legislation is not to be"deemed" to have passed, but actually be voted on with the support of the required majority. The bill must contain the exact same language in both chambers and in the version signed by the president - to be a legitimate law, this is not the case with health care reform. This is the very reason why the House and Senate have a conference committee to iron out differences of competing versions. This is common knowledge and would be taught in a high school civics class, yet our leaders are about to ignore the SUPREME LAW OF THE LAND!
One only needs to ask the question, where to we go from here? If congress succeeds in passing this legislation, via the Slaughter Rule, they will have set a precedent in American politics. This action will then allow further measures in the future to bypass the democratic process and remove all responsible parties from accountability. If you think government was out of control before, just wait until Monday morning!
