ObamaCare Repeal Vote - UPDATED Posted by Tim Shoemaker on 01/19/11 6:25 PM

Yesterday, Freshman House Republican Justin Amash took to the floor to give a statement on H.R. 2:
The debate we're having today goes beyond health care---although there's no doubt health care coverage is an important and difficult issue. What we're discussing today goes to the core of our Constitution's design. It asks Members of Congress whether we take constitutional limits on our power seriously.
If this law is constitutional---if Congress has such broad power---our limited federal government will have become limitless---and all without changing our Constitution or the approval of the Americans whom it protects. It is not just for the courts, it is our duty as a Congress to pay attention to the Constitution and its limits on our power.

Sons of Liberty: Patriots or Terrorists? How A Secret Society of Rebel Americans Made Its Mark on Early America

Sons of Liberty
Finally, the decision on the Sons of Liberty comes down to a variation on an old saying, "one man's terrorist is another man's patriot." The ultimate conclusion must be left to the individual.

Our Children...Their Future

Jim Rogers : Teach your children Chinese
It is incumbent on every generation to pay its own debts as it goes. A principle which if acted on would save one-half the wars of the world.
Thomas Jefferson

A wise and frugal government, which shall leave men free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned - this is the sum of good government.
Thomas Jefferson

All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent.
Thomas Jefferson
