Questioning Health Care Legislation

Above is a letter I have penned regarding the passing of the health care legislation in Congress and have forwarded it to Mississippi Attorney General Jim Hood with copies sent to Governor Haley Barbour, Lt. Governor Phil Bryant and House Speaker Billy McCoy. (a printable pdf version can be accessed by clicking the link just above this blog post)

I would call on other concerned local elected officials and citizens from around Mississippi to implore Attorney General Hood and the state legislature to challenge the constitutionality of this flawed health care legislation.  I commend the states of Virginia and Idaho for their stance on this legislation and hope other states, especially my state of Mississippi, will join in the fight.

As I wrote in a recent blog, principled government - the kind of government that enriches individual liberty and freedom, upholds and defends the Constitution, and promotes the interest of the sum, not the part while maintaining as limited a role as possible - starts in the City Halls all around this country.  We must demand better, more principled government from our city hall to our state capitol to Washington D.C.  We can make a difference and rightful restoration can be made of our American foundations.  Make your voice heard.
