Scary truths.

I received the following in an email. I thought I'd pass this along, to all my contacts. Very worrisome, to say the least. I'm terrified as to where our country is headed. What this means for my parents. Carly. And the rest of us. I am so against the government, having a say in our lives.


PLEASE TAKE TIME TO READ.

According to Snopes, the following is correctly

A question many of us are asking. Is this health care thing constitutional?
A retired Constitutional lawyer has read the entire proposed health care bill. Read his conclusions. This is stunning! The Truth About the Health Care Bill
- Michael Connelly, Ret. Constitutional Attorney


Well, I have done it! I have read the entire
text of proposed House Bill 3200: The Affordable Health Care Choices Act
of 2009. I studied it with particular emphasis from my area of
expertise, constitutional law. I was frankly concerned that parts of
the proposed law that were being discussed might be unconstitutional.
What I found was far worse than what I had heard or expected.

To begin with, much of what has been said about
the law and its implications is in fact true, despite what the Democrats
and the media are saying. The law does provide for rationing of health
care, particularly where senior citizens and other classes of citizens
are involved, free health care for illegal immigrants, free abortion
services, and probably forced participation in abortions by members of
the medical profession.

The Bill will also eventually force private
insurance companies out of business, and put everyone into a government
run system. All decisions about personal health care will ultimately be
made by federal bureaucrats, and most of them will not be health care
professionals. Hospital admissions, payments to physicians, and
allocations of necessary medical devices will be strictly controlled by
the government.

However, as scary as all of that is, it just
scratches the surface. In fact, I have concluded that this legislation
really has no intention of providing affordable health care choices.
Instead it is a convenient cover for the most massive transfer of power
to the Executive Branch of government that has ever occurred, or even
been contemplated If this law or a similar one is adopted, major
portions of the Constitution of the United States will effectively have
been destroyed.

The first thing to go will be the masterfully
crafted balance of power between the Executive, Legislative, and
Judicial branches of the U.S. Government. The Congress will be
transferring to the Obama Administration authority in a number of
different areas over the lives of the American people, and the
businesses they own.

The irony is that the Congress doesn't have any
authority to legislate in most of those areas to begin with! I defy
anyone to read the text of the U.S. Constitution and find any authority
granted to the members of Congress to regulate health care.

This legislation also provides for access, by
the appointees of the Obama administration, of all of your personal
health care direct violation of the specific provisions of the 4th
Amendment to the Constitution information, your personal financial
information, and the information of your employer, physician, and
hospital. All of this is a protecting against unreasonable searches and
seizures.. You can also forget about the right to privacy. That will
have been legislated into oblivion regardless of what the 3rd and 4th
Amendments may provide.

If you decide not to have health care insurance,
or if you have private insurance that is not deemed acceptable to the
Health Choices Administrator appointed by Obama, there will be a tax
imposed on you. It is called a tax instead of a fine because of the
intent to avoid application of the due process clause of the 5th
Amendment. However, that doesn't work because since there is nothing in
the law that allows you to contest or appeal the imposition of the tax,
it is definitely depriving someone of property without the due process
of law.

So, there are three of those pesky amendments
that the far left hate so much, out the original ten in the Bill of
Rights, that are effectively nullified by this law It doesn't stop
there though.

The 9th Amendment that provides: The enumeration
in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny
or disparage others retained by the people;

The 10th Amendment states: The powers not
delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it
to the States, are preserved to the States respectively, or to the
people. Under the provisions of this piece of Congressional handiwork
neither the people nor the states are going to have any rights or powers
at all in many areas that once were theirs to control.

I could write many more pages about this
legislation, but I think you get the idea. This is not about health
care; it is about seizing power and limiting rights. Article 6 of the
Constitution requires the members of both houses of Congress to "be
bound by oath or affirmation to support the Constitution." If I was a
member of Congress I would not be able to vote for this legislation or
anything like it, without feeling I was violating that sacred oath or
affirmation. If I voted for it anyway, I would hope the American people
would hold me accountable.

For those who might doubt the nature of this
threat, I suggest they consult the source, the US Constitution, and Bill
of Rights. There you can see exactly what we are about to have taken
from us.
