Democracy is Dead!

With the signing of the Health Care bill into law democracy in the United States of America died. People will argue the hereto and wherefores of how the bill got passed, and how the program will be funded, and was the change really necessary but the over reaching issue and the true atrocity of this bill is that it was passed against the will of the people.

In a democratic republic, which is what the United States used to be until the passing of this bill, representatives are elected by the voice of the people to function as their spokesman in the law making bodies of Congress. The representatives sole function is to relay the desires of his or her constituents and vote accordingly. To act in opposition to the will of the people who elected him or her is to negate the agreement under which he or she was employed and to usurp the power of the people. For the public servant to act on his own or against the will of the people is for the servant to become master and vise verse. That is what happened with the passing of the Health Care bill. With the great majority of the population (approximately 70% of Americans opposed the bill) opposed to the health care over haul it should have had no chance of making it into law. But with the overthrowing of the masters by their public servants and total disregard for the democratic republic process freedom and democracy died with the passing of the Health Care Reform Legislation.

Unless Congress is held accountable for this treasonous act the United States as our Founding Fathers knew will cease to exist. A sad day for us all.
