The pandemic that's sweeping the United States is not only swine flu, folks. It's actually something more sinister and devastating. And you can't counter its debilitating harm through inoculation by needle or a nose spray. No, this insidious disease is impervious to a medical fix and it will eventually effect and infect every single American.
The spread of this disease began in earnest on Jan. 20, Inauguration Day. Just a few months preceding that fateful day, we were forewarned of the oncoming disease when presidential candidate Obama explained to Joe the plumber, a small business owner concerned with future tax increases under an Obama administration, that his administration wished to merely spread the wealth, or level the playing field, so to speak. A small step toward socialism, but now we are experiencing giant steps in this regard.
In less than a year of his administration, we have witnessed the government takeover of major segments of the automobile industry, banking institutions, a stimulus package that stimulated nothing but higher unemployment rates, stagnation and deeper national debt.
Now this administration is hell bent on nationalizing health care, again to spread the wealth and health, so to speak. We can't even sustain the coffers for Medicaid, Medicare and Social Security, much less taking on another trillion-dollar socialistic boondoggle. Then there's cap-and-trade, which promises to reduce our carbon footprint at the price of increased energy costs for everyone and restrictions to industrial productivity.
No, what this country needs is a giant conservative inoculation at the election polls beginning in 2010 and another follow-on conservative inoculation in 2012. Socialism is already plaguing our nation and the sickness will continue until we insist on pursuing a life of liberty and prosperity without this dreaded disease of socialism.

These items from the Pelosi bill should SCARE everyone.
—Section 202(c) prohibits the sale of private individual health insurance policies, beginning in 2013, forcing individuals to purchase coverage through the federal government
Page 110—Section 222(e) requires the use of federal dollars to fund abortions through the government-run health plan—and, if the Hyde Amendment were ever not renewed, would require the plan to fund elective abortions
Page 111—Section 223 establishes a new board of federal bureaucrats (the “Health Benefits Advisory Committee”) to dictate the health plans that all individuals must purchase—and would likely require all Americans to subsidize and purchase plans that cover any abortion.These are but a few. **Call your representative and complain loudly and often THIS WEEK or it might be too late! Tell them: "NOT this "Pelosi" version and NOT the Baucus Bill." Look to people like our own Rep./Dr. Tom Price and other "voices of reason" who have suggested workable solutions that DON'T cost TRILLIONS of dollars!
