The answer is NO, Mr. President, and we the people are not afraid to say NO to you and this Congress. You and the Congress have NO constitutional authority to take over the healthcare industry. You have NO legal authority to eliminate our right to choose the best healthcare options for our families. You have no right to cancel the free-market enterprise of healthcare or destroy assets communities have built to provide healthcare for our neighbors.

The attempts to exploit the incorrect data regarding the uninsured in America is shameless propaganda. We can read and we can count and we have looked at those numbers very, very carefully. There are not 47 million uninsured people who are victims in this country. There are a lot of people who have made choices that do not include the personal responsibility required to access to quality healthcare. We know they are there. We pay for their medical bills every year. Those who truly need help we are helping and will continue to help by making better options available in the states and counties where they live.

You and your people know there are better answers. You are rushing this plan because you don't want those answers to be enacted. Many states are working to solve these problems right now. Hospitals and doctors are working together to lower costs. Business co-ops are helping solve this problem everyday. Our healthcare system is better today than it was in 1994 -- the last time big government advocates tried to wipe out our doctors and the private healthcare industry.

We the people say NO to you and the Congress and your plan to cram a trillion dollar bureaucratic nightmare down all our throats.  And we send you and the Congress this warning: Any member who votes for this measure, especially at the irresponsible, unethical, breakneck pace you are suggesting, had best start packing their bags the day after the vote. We the People will not support anyone who stands for this unconstitutional violation of our most basic civil right: the right to life.
