The Dems are relentless.  Triggers, fines on the uninsured.  They are just dead set to socialize the medical industry in the US.  Some of the representatives are beginning to run a little scared.  People in their districts are telling them to their faces that the healthcare legislation that includes a “government option” will not be acceptable – at any level.

So if you are not on Medicare, self employed or a small business owner then under the latest Democrat proposal you will be FINED for not buying health insurance.  Ok, lets walk through the logic. If I can’t afford insurance and I work and pay taxes I will be fined for not purchasing health insurance.  But if I quit working and go on Medicare I don’t pay tax or a fine! WOW that was easy! I quit!

Where do the Democrats think the money is going to come from?

VOTE AGAINST INCUMBENTS – it is the only absolutely undeniable clear message we voters can send to legislators.  YOU’RE FIRED!

In other news… I recently blogged about the Cybersecurity Act of 2009 and how it would give the government (Obama) the ability to shut down the Internet for reasons of “National Security” which begs the question, who makes that determination?

I wrote my Florida Senator Bill Nelson and told him that I was not in favor of this legislation and that there were much better ways to achieve security using technological solutions than creating a bill that gives the government more power over individual freedoms.  I got an email today that basically says the Senator Nelson cosponsored this bill.  We certainly need to protect our networks against attacks.  I just believe that creating a new security position in the government is not necessary.  We currently have the Department of Homeland Security, National Security Agency, the Central Intelligence Agency, The Federal Bureau of Investigation, and a host of other agencies that monitor our security.  These already report directly to the President.  Creating another group is redundant and most likely will retard action in times of emergency due to overlapping responsibilities.  The act proposes to create public-private partnerships on security.  These already exist within the technology community and have access to the National Science Foundation which was originally chartered to make the Internet a public commodity. Security is good, no question.  I believe that adding more government bureaucracy in not the solution.  Our money could be better spent working with the agencies we already have that have the technology in place.

I urge the Senator and others to vote against  S. 773, the Cybersecurity Act of 2009 and the companion bill, S. 778.

Contact your Senator and tell him/her that you desire that this legislation should be withdrawn.
