Missouri voters reject healthcare mandates on ballot referendum question

  The people are speaking out against the  healthcare reform law–and more specifically, the healthcare mandates included in that law–in large numbers. The latest example of this is the ballot question that was voted on in Missouri last night that would prohibit healthcare mandates in Missouri.

  Over 70% of the voters in Missouri rejected the notion that the federal government can mandate an American citizen to buy medical insurance against their will. This is being considered a moral victory because federal law trumps state law; normally I am not one to put much stock in such moral victories–you either win or you lose–a symbolic victory is nothing more than a victory conceived by those that have lost and are looking for something–anything– to hang their hats on in defeat.

  But in this case a moral victory on the healthcare mandates sends a clear message to Washington that everyone in the capital who voted for this legislation should expect to lose their jobs when they are up for re-election because this great showing by the voters of Missouri has shown the nation that the American people are not going to sit idly by and watch the federal government assume more power than what is granted in the constitution.

  If this trend holds firm all across the nation in November we can expect to see a changing of the guard in November. By a large majority the American people have rejected Obamacare. 

  When you couple this outcome with the fact that a federal judge in Virginia has decided that a constitutional challenge to the mandates in the healthcare reform law should be allowed to move forward; and when you couple this outcome with the other states who have constitutional challenges to the law you can clearly see that momentum is on the side of the American people and against the federal government.

  Momentum is own our side; the people have rejected this regime’s policies and if we remain vigilant we can expect to see a political bloodbath at the polls in just under 100 days. The regime had hoped to quell this rebellion quickly by arguing that the Congress has the right to force Americans to buy healthcare because the constitution gives the Congress the right to levy taxes, but all that this has done was to further the perception in the American people that the federal government is out of control.

   Kudos to the voters of Missouri; you have shown us the way and we are going to ride the momentum you have given us all the way to victory in November!

  Politicians had better heed the voice of the people because we are coming, and we WILL BE HEARD:

They will not force us
They will stop degrading us
They will not control us
We will be victorious
