A One-Two Punch to American Exceptionalism
In a matter of months, or sooner, just 50 people in Washington DC could decide the future of America by a word. “Aye” or “nay.” Two colossal bills establishing unprecedented government control of all energy and health care resources have already passed the House of Representatives (see how your representative voted) and President Obama will sign them. The health care takeover and cap and trade bills have one final hurdle to clear before becoming the law of the land: The US Senate.
These bills must first advance by a motion to proceed and a cloture vote to end debate. Both procedures require 60 votes and represent the best chance to stop these bills in their tracks. If these hurdles are overcome, a simple majority (50 Senators plus Vice President Biden’s vote) is all that’s needed to pass the bills.
Health care now accounts for 1/6 of the entire US economy. Energy’s value is incalculable. Nothing gets made or moves without it. When the government controls a society’s means of production and centrally plans the economy, that is the definition of communism. This isn’t a first step towards communism – it’s two giant leaps into it and it could happen in a matter of weeks if we don’t stop it now.

Special Take Action Message for Senior Citizens:
The American Association of Retired People (AARP) has sold its members out for big profits. AARP got on board with President Obama’s health care plan even though it slashes $500 billion from Medicare and will cut benefits to seniors because AARP will be able to sell Medicare gap (Medigap) coverage to it members, profiting greatly from their loss.
Because of AARP’s endorsement of the health care takeover, thousands of concerned AARP members have cancelled their memberships and policies, ripped up their member cards and mailed them back to AARP.
To contact AARP:

Minnesota Majority does not endorse or recommend any senior citizen organization, but for information purposes only, it’s been reported that many former AARP members have joined the American Seniors Association.
