To the Editor: Nanci Pelosi, Harry Reid, and Obama, the "Unholy Triumvirate," are trying to ram the Health Care Bill by hook or crook. If they don't have their votes soon, they plan to use an illegal procedure called "deeming." That way, they can pretend it passed and show, "We the People," that the constitution doesn't matter. This is simply a sleazy unconstitutional strategy to get what they want and not take responsibility for it. According to the U.S. Constitution, a bill has to pass both the House and the Senate to become law. If Congress can now decide that the House can vote for one bill and the Senate can vote for another, and the final result can be some arbitrary hybrid, then we have abandoned Madison's core checks and balances.

The democrats in Congress are clearly abusing the established laws of the land. Rules are whatever they say they are and that = chaos. Peter Marshall once said, "The choice before us is plain, Christ or chaos, conviction or compromise, discipline or disintegration. I am rather tired of hearing about our rights and privileges as American citizens. The time is come when we ought to hear about the duties and responsibilities of our citizenship. America's future depends upon her accepting and demonstrating God's government." Earlier generations in American made mistakes, but nothing comparable to the betrayal and abandonment of this present administration. Call the capitol switchboard and talk to a human at 202-224-3121. They will connect you to your congressman's office. Tell the staffer, " No to this Healthcare Bill." When Congress exempts themselves from this bill, it can't be good.
