Rome Is Burning

Let freedom ring, not burn

With the health care bill that was passed yesterday, a ball started rolling that over the next 4-8 years will fundamentally transform America into a socialist state, unless we can stop it.

A cursory study of history reveals some valuable lessons we can learn from the Roman empire. Rome was built on the rule of law with a form of representative government that allowed for individuals to prosper based on their own abilities and hard work.

The turning point in the fall of Rome came when people abandoned those principals and figured out that they could elect corrupt leaders who would give them certain entitlements. Who wouldn’t take up that offer? Hard work is overrated when you can live off of others via government intervention.

This abandonment of principal led to corruption, instability and ultimately financial and societal collapse. With the passage of this health care legislation, we are taking a giant leap forward down this very path.

Florida Freedom Project

Now is the time for action. We can sit around and wonder how this happened, or we can do something about it. November can’t come soon enough, but much can be accomplished before then.

Here’s what you can do: Volunteer for the Florida Freedom Project. We are gathering signatures for the Florida Health Care Freedom (Obamacare nullification) Act. You can read about this project here. We are collecting citizen co-sponsors to help raise public awareness so that this issue can be put on the ballot in November.

All politics is local. If we change things on a local level, we will do our part to slow the progressive momentum long enough to overturn their unconstitutional actions all together.

Please take some time today to click the volunteer link above. Forward this link to your friends and ask them to be involved as well. By signing up as a volunteer, they will be added as a citizen co-sponsor as well. I will send out a note to our volunteers soon about our plans.

Thank you for your vigilance!
