ObamaCare Erodes Freedom

Wayne Winsley, Candidate for the U.S. Congress representing the Citizens of Connecticut’s Third District, released the following statement in anticipation of the U.S. Supreme Court decision on the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), informally known as “Obama-care”. “The upcoming decision by the United States Supreme Court is crucial, not just for the state of health care in America; but, crucial to very principle of individual freedom. Remember how Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) put it when asked what was in the original health care legislation? Madam Pelosi said “We have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it, away from the fog of the controversy.” Now, imagine if the incumbent Obama administration were attempting to mandate that all citizens had to purchase a certain vehicle; then, the dangers – indeed the attack of individual freedom - would be more apparent. The irony here is that the former -- Obama-care -- would open the door to the latter -- loss of freedom --with almost no way to close the yawning aperture. No legislation, ever, should be taken to a vote until the people’s representatives – and the citizens themselves - have had sufficient time to review and understand the content and implications of any proposal. Truly, the fate of our Constitutional Republic - as given to us by the founding fathers - hangs in the balance. Let’s pray that every Justice on the U.S. Supreme Court keeps in mind and heart the immortal words of Benjamin Franklin in response to the question ‘what kind of government do we have?’… “A Republic madam; if you can keep it.” To speak directly with Wayne Winsley, schedule a media interview, or to schedule a visit with your group, organization or association, contact him directly by phone at 860-248-0324 or via email wayne@winsleyforcongress.org .
