In the coming months, I beseech all of you to look closely at the candidates for any office and be sure that you are voting for candidates who want to protect your freedom and not to take it away. This will be the most relevant election we hve ever had. If we don't elect freedom loving people to office this year, then we will probably loose our freedom for all time to come. Don't fool yourselves, this is the turning point for our future freedom for us and our heirs for all time to come, I pray the people recognize how important this election is. In 2008 we made some mistakes, but in 2010 if we strengthen the control those mistakes have started we will never live in freedom again, I kid you not.

Healthcare is not a subject that was addressed by this bill there is nothing in the bill that has anything to do with healthcare, if you read the bill the only thing in all of the over 2000 pages of the bill is how the government will control you from cradle to grave. If we were to have a bill about healthcare it wouldn't be about controls it would have language abouthow healthcare could be improved and lower costs. It wouldn't have language calling for 1600 IRS agents to enforce the forced control of the citizens of this nation. True healthcare does not force the citizens of a free nation to do anything.

The real subject here is not healthcare since this bill does nothing to improve healthcare all it really does is take contol of healthcare. This bills true intent is to remove another of our freedoms, the freedom of choice. Our founding fathers never intended government to take control of healthcare, since it was not a specified power of government. All unspecified powers of government were left to the individual or the states. I don't believe any of the state constitutions specified that control of healthcare is a power of any state government either. When our federal government passes laws beyond the scope of our constitution all they are really after is power over the people and the desolution of our freedoms granted to us by our constitution.

As I read all of the posts here, it strikes me that we are the voices of the American people and we are being ignored. We all want to do something that can be effective in restoring the will of the people and we look back to the words of our fore fathers for guidance. But the people we look too and try to emulate weren't the common people of their time, they were the elected representatives of their time who were meeting in Philadelphia and Boston to try and come up with solutions to the tyranny of their king. Maybe the solution to our problems should be solved similarly, by running state elections here on the internet to elect a group of people from each state to represent our views. Let the internet become our method of coming together in a united voice that we can utilize. Right now we are thousands writing individual ideas and views. This makes us feel a little better like we are doing something, but we are preaching to the choir. We aren't really accomplishing anything until we make ourselves into a power to be reckoned with. Can I get any support or alternate views on this?

You are right in so much as WWII did fix the economy. The reason it fixed the economy wasn't so much the massive government spending as it was the jobs that were created and the fact that the population was rationed their use of gasolene, sugar, meat, and many other staple goods. But they did this willingly because these things were for the war effort. Another point that not too many people point out is that WWII started in 1933, but we didn't enter the war until Dec 7th, 1941 and the war ended in 1945. Our participation only lasted for approximately 3.5 years whereas Europe was embroiled in war for 12 years. Their economies were totally destroyed during that timeand we were the only nation left with its infrastructure still in tact. We were providing goods and money to the rest of the world which boosted our economy even more.

There have been more technical advances made in my lifetime than in all of human history. It has been, frankly, mind bogling. All of this has brought about a faster paced society compared to the laid back past I grew up in.
All this leads me to the point that we as a society have taken a turn that is not beneficial to the perpetuation of the American ideal. We need to straighten out our education system. I don't know the statistics but I do lnow that our education system rates very low in a global scale, whereas we used to be number one. We used to be number one in many categories, but no longer we are failing from within. No one could ever have defeated us, but we're getting to the point where we are disintegrating from within and like the Roman Empire the wolves are at the door and they are going to take us down.
