C-SPAN offers coverage of the government take-over of the health care system and its march to socialist rule. The offer is rejected even though Obama made numerous promises of transparency.
At best, maybe 35 million Americans are truly in need of coverage. But 300 million Americans will pay for and be affected by the monstrosity this oppressive administration is salivating over. Those who question the process are ridiculed. And I sincerely ask any who say this is a good bill: Do you truly know what is in over 2,000 pages of bureaucratic mumbo jumbo?
Good for you if you could keep track of the tangle of changes and alterations depending on the time of day. And you’re completely comfortable with a gang of lawmakers who sneak behind closed doors to negotiate special deals (bribes) with representatives and senators willing to sell out their constituents and their own souls for power? Those in congress who stand quietly by are just as guilty.
Too much power in the hands of a few was not the intention of the framers of the Constitution when this nation was founded. It was freedom. A word of warning to Washington: Ignore those pesky taxpayers at your peril. People will fight to be free. And it’s time to halt this madness. For every Tea Party patriot you see, there are 100 more in the ready, and growing in strength, determination and numbers. We don’t want or need a king, an emperor, a dictator or a comrade to lead us.
We are not Europeans. We are Americans in a free society who don’t apologize for our country. We thank God every day for the blessing of living in this amazing place created, defended and protected by the citizens of the United States of America. Many who gave all.
It’s not your White House, Obama. It’s our White House. And you have no idea just how bad it’s going to be come November when we take our country back.

Pay for home care
On Dec. 15, President Barack Obama announced a proposed rule that would extend federal minimum wage and overtime protections to home care workers. This is an exciting development for home care workers across the country.

Public investment
Public investment? Pennsylvania's funding of our local schools is a crying shame. Sure, times are tough, but the state managed to come up with $10 million for Bucknell University, a private school, to have a new bookstore in downtown Lewisburg. I'm still not sure how Bucknell wrangled that deal or why a private university is entitled to public funding.

Ill-conceived measure
Ill-conceived plan. It is imperative that motorists drive safely and courteously when approaching bicyclists. The only problem with the new bicyclist law requiring motorists to allow four feet of distance between their cars and the bicyclists is that this will place the car in the opposing travel lane or require it to cross the yellow line in a no-passing zone.

Public obligation
As part of her argument for home schooling, "Studying in Pajamas", Jan. 20, Joanna Wert dismisses public schools and "the majority of American workers" with a few condescending generalizations. She goes on to extol her own children's virtues and accomplishments, and then lists famous people whom she claims were home-schooled.
