GOVERNMENT-RUN HEALTH CARE IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL!

PASSING A HEALTH CARE REFORM BILL WITHOUT PUBLIC SCRUTINY UNDERMINES THE LEGISLATIVE PROCESS.

The Senate Finance Committee has now voted us one step closer to an unwanted reform, while Senator Reid intends to further liberalize the plan.

Forcing taxpaying American citizens to comply at the risk of going to prison?

Enforced gag orders against organizations and individuals speaking out against a government-run health care plan!

Ignoring the U.S. Constitution!

I will not allow lawmakers and this Administration to reshape my beloved United States, into a European socialist state. As Americans we should maintain the freedom to make these kinds of decisions for ourselves and with our loved ones.

I'm sickened by the entire process. I cannot support a health care plan that co-opts my rights as citizen, and forces me to embrace an individual mandate, supporting a so-called "public option." Americans have stated clearly that they REJECT this effort-one that includes among other things soaring new taxes and tax hikes, governmental fees that will choke the free market and medical innovation, and exercise more government control over our lives.

Listen to the voice of middle-class Americans who are demanding you REJECT this mad dash toward socialized health care.

Please know that I am carefully monitoring your actions regarding this bill.
