My heart sank when I heard the recent Supreme Court decision supporting the Obamacare legislation.

I thought, like many Americans, how could the Supreme Court get such a simple question wrong? And this came on the heels of its previous surprising decision preventing Arizona from deporting illegal aliens charged with crimes who cross their state line.

The federal government’s primary role is national defense, and they refuse to do that, yet they exhaust great energies meddling with our private health care. What kind of upside down government have we, the people, allowed to reign over us?

With historic national deficits, the unwillingness to balance a national budget, a stalled economy and our national confidence in the toilet, we have but one adult decision to make, and that is vote all incumbents out of office starting in our local district.

I don’t care how gentlemanly their rhetoric or how grandeur their statesmanship is portrayed. Bottom line, all have fallen short of the glory of their office. As radical their pursuit of mediocrity, so should we, with great determination, swiftly remove them from further damage to our republic. A house cleaning is in order and I have no need for harmless dust. New faces, new energies, new marching orders and but one objective — to return America recognizable to Americans.

Our forefathers warned us of an overreaching government. We should always be suspect of the leadership of man and hold trust in but one — In God We Trust. Never has it been more true that “if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and forgive their sin and will heal their land.”

Pray for healing, vote for new candidates.
