I just wanted to let people know about one of the best people we need to get into congress this year in the 2010 elections.

"When asked, Bill provided these thoughts about the Fair Tax:

The term Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is oxymoronic: a) it is NOT a "service," and b) it does nothing to produce revenue; it only TAXES and seizes revenue.

Our current tax system is not fair, nor is it sustainable as levied by the IRS. More than half of U.S. citizens pay NO federal taxes. This is why I am in favor of phasing-out the IRS while adopting a concept that mirrors or closely parallels the "Fair Tax."

The Fair Tax places the tax where it belongs: with the end-user. Government bureaucrats prefer the current (IRS) system because it keeps the public sector in control of our wallets.

With concepts such as the Fair Tax, government spending would have a limit (and greater level of accountability), and the private sector would become unshackled to experience robust growth and vitality."

"But it is not enough to say that I would have voted against the bill. Along with my NOT having supported the bill, I would have co-sponsored or supported legislation to improve our health care system by:
1. Enacting tort reform to eliminate frivolous or excessive lawsuits for injury and yet provide reasonable limits on personal injury and/or pain & suffering.
2. Encouraging individual Health Savings Accounts (HSA's) that enable families to obtain catastrophic coverage at lower cost. Let the money paid into the HSA accumulate without penalty, time limit or ceiling on the amount saved. Also, allow ALL individual health care plans to be portable, thus enabling them to keep their coverage.
3. Fair treatment of insurance companies:
a. Removing burdensome and/or unnecessary insurance regulations.
b. Rewriting the laws governing health insurance to make the rules more understandable, and thus remove the window for loopholes and abuse. The contractual agreement of insurance must be between the insurer and the insured.
c. Not making pre-existing conditions insurable in all cases. Consider what would happen if you purchased a DVD player at an electronics store. It malfunctions 11 months later and you return to the store after it malfunctioned. You would then say: "I'd like to buy insurance for my DVD player that I purchased 11 months ago." Using the recently passed health care bill logic, the store owner must sell you an insurance policy that would cover the DVD player. Can we all see that it wouldn't take long before the electronics store would go out of business?
4. Declaring the Health Care Bill as UNCONSTITUTIONAL. The legislation recently passed will ultimately FORCE private insurance companies out of the free market. The vacuum left would then be filled by the government, which would then offer "Single Payer" government health insurance.
5. Opening competition across state lines. Let insurance companies compete to provide the best coverage packages in the free market.
6. Establishing high risk pools that group persons with special medical needs/conditions. Work with health care professionals to determine the best way to address the issue of preexisting conditions. These issues must be dealt with a measure of compassion. Viable alternatives to the recently passed health care bill were recommended and should be reexamined.
7. Considering Heritage Foundation's recommendation to transform Medicare, Medicaid, and SCHIP so that individuals and families have a broad choice of health plans and providers. Make those providers directly accountable to patients for their quality of care.
8. Streamlining the medical industry administrative workload. Doctors, hospitals and health care practitioners have a tremendous administrative burden of government regulation placed upon them. This burden currently requires an administrator-to-physician ratio of 4:1 (four to one). Four such administrators place a cost burden of about $120K or more on the hospital and/or medical practice. These costs are then passed along to the patient or third party provider."

I think it is also important that you all know about another issues he's talked about, and that is the ties bewteen BP and Obama. Obama got more money from BP than any other oil company (even though he claims to be Green) and also might have had something to do with the oil spill. A sort of colusion. It was a way to get people mad to go out and support Green Energy.

"Maybe they wanted it to leak, but then it got beyond what was anticipated and we had an explosion and loss of life," Randall said. "Is there a cover up going on? I'm not saying there necessarily is. But I think that there are enough facts on the table for people who really need to do so to do some investigative research and find out what went on with that."

There needs to be research on the ties between the disaster and the Obama agenda and BP.

for his campaign rallies, he should start out with some loud music and then we could go "OOOOOOOOOOOH" and then maybe go "PACK PACK PACK PACK PACK POWER PACK!!! OOOOOOOOOOOH". I think it would really get the place rocking

I've met him before at rallies, and he is a nice guy, but he's another big government, PATRIOT Act supporting, Republican. Luckily I am in Lawson's district.
