Cong Steve King (IA): Forty words to Repeal 2400 pages

When Abraham Lincoln gave his Gettysburg Address, he used 270 words. President Lincoln was considered a plain spoken man from the Plains of America. Democratcare is not Gettysburg but it was a battle being fought by House and Senate Republicans against all odds. The fact that they were able to keep the bill from passing for months speaks volumes about the Republican men and women who represent us in Congress -- they did't give up and kept right on fighting. The House Republicans did everything possible with their limited numbers to stop the Socialist action of this President to take over Healthcare but in the end they were outnumbered. Have they quit fighting for Americans? NO!

Yesterday another plain spoken man from the Plains of America, Cong Steve King from Iowa, wrote 40 words to repeal the 2400 pages document that we are now calling Democratcare because the Democrats own it. The only bipartisanship was shown on the side of NO against this monstrosity of a bill.

Forty words to repeal 2,400 pages

Republican Rep. Steve King has filed a bill to repeal Obamacare.

This is its entire text:

Effective as of the enactment of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, such Act is repealed, and the provisions of law amended or repealed by such Act are restored or revived as if such Act had not been enacted.

When you read this, you realize that the Republicans who led the fight against Democratcare and are still fighting are not from the Northeast part of the country or the west coast, they are from rural America not from the large cities of New York, Chicago, or Los Angeles.

Cong Steve King is from Northwest Iowa, attended Northwest Missouri State, and started his own construction company

John Boehner is a lifelong resident of SW Ohio, graduate of Xavier University, and is currently the Congressman for the western part of Southwest Ohio and Miami County where we grew up

Eric Cantor was born in Richmond VA, graduate of William and Mary Law School, and represents parts of Richmond and the Shenandoah_Valley

Mike Pence is from the Columbus, IN, a graduate of Indiana Law School and represents the eastern part of Indiana around Muncie, east of Indianapolis to the Ohio border,

Paul Ryan is from Janesville, WI, received his degree from Miami University of Ohio, and represents counties in southeastern Wisconsin

Day after day these men along with many other men and women of the House and Senate fought with everything they had against insurmountable odds because the Democrats outnumbered Republicans by so many seats after losses in 2006 and 2008. The Republicans have not rolled over but have stood up and fought.

They are not using guns like the Patriots who fought for our freedoms in the Revolutionary War but they are the modern day Patriots who are fighting for our Freedoms against the tyranny of a President and leadership in Congress who step on the Constitution like it is a plain piece of paper, ignore the standing Rules of the Congress, and bribe members for votes all to make this Country socialist.

The men and women of the colonies stood up and fought the stranglehold of England as they didn't want to be like England with a ruling class eventually declaring our independence in 1776. Today in 2010 this Socialist President and his two socialist lapdogs who lead Congress want a European style Socialist Government. The American people didn't want it in 1776 and they don't want it in 2010. The Democratcare which the Democrats now own will be their Waterloo on the 2nd of November when modern day patriots go to the ballot box and move America back to a Center Right Country governed by men and women who respect our forefathers who fought for freedom and gave us our Constitution to govern the newly formed United States of America.

The men and women of Massachusetts fired the first shot of this new Revolution to Take Back America in January when they elected Republican Scott Brown to the United States Senate just like they did when they fired the shot heard round the world in Lexington to start the Revolutionary War that led to the 13 colonies becoming a free and independent United States of America. The shot in January 2010 was not from a gun but from the ballot box which reverberated around the World.

Republicans, Independents and Democrats in the Heartland, in rural areas of America, and yes in the cities pledge our support, time, effort, and money to reelect the freedom loving patriots of today who have represented all of us so well in the House of Representatives and in the Senate. We pledge to send them reinforcements as we take back seats from the Democrat Progressive Socialist leadership and their minions one by one so that Harry Reid is defeated in the Senate and Nancy Pelosi is no longer Speaker. With defeat of the Democrats, Pelosi can no longer run up a $2M bill flying around on Air Force planes. Time to ground her and her fellow socialists on the 2nd of November 2010.

Any Democrat voting for Democratcare is a target for defeat along with those Democrats who were told to vote NO to save their seat when they have a conservative voting record of less then 30. The gloves are off, America is awake and ready to start the task of righting America. In 2012, we will finish the job and America will take its place alongside our allies and our enemies will no longer have a friendly face in the White House.

We are not members of the Tea Party movement, but are freedom loving Republican Conservatives who believe it is time to stand up and take our Country back! Here in Oklahoma, we have a conservative delegation unlike a lot of places where the Tea Party movement was started and is popular today. We encourage every American whether a member of the grassroots, Tea Party, or an individual to become involved and help lead our Country back to the land of Freedom and Opportunity where the Constitution is honored as our most cherished document.

God Bless the United States of America and Let Freedom ring on November 2nd, 2010!



Note: This blog post was written for our companion site, http://VoicesfromtheHeartland.blogspot.com but after reading it over the final time this morning before posting, decided that it needed posted here as well. Americans need to continue to wake up to what Obama/Pelosi/Reid and the members of the Progressive movement are doing to our Country and join with us to Take it Back!
