The 10th Amendment and Healthcare
Filed under: government | Tags: courts, healthcare, legislation, obama
Leave a Comment I just read a great blog post about using the 10th Amendment to the Constitution to block the horrific health care plan coming down from Congress. Governor Perry of Texas has asked his Attorney General to investigate if the exclusions and deals made with some Senators are constitutional. I have sent an email to Ohio’s Attorney General Richard Cordray, asking him to do the same.
I have two requests of all who read this. First, I would encourage you to contact your own Attorney General and encourage them to launch a similar investigation and consider suing to block this legislation. Second, I would ask that all interested leave a comment here about what you think about this legislation, good or bad, and what you think we as citizens should do about it.
Obama and the Nobel Prize
So I wanted to come out with a more timely response to this announcement but I simply did not have time over the weekend and was trying to process this very strange choice. After doing some thinking and research, all I can say is theat the committee biffed it. In 37 weeks in office President Obama has not actually accomplished anything in the way of peace or major foreign policy that could result in peace. He has not signed any major treaties, hosted a peace conference, or made new allies. There simply are no major accomplishments to point to.
What he has done, as this article points out, is make some changes to our foreign policy and apologize for prior US actions (neither of which he needs to do). He has embarrassed the office of President by showing weakness before countries that want to destroy us and our way of life.
Of course I do not think we should really be surprised. Why should we take serious an award given to Al Gore for making a movie about the environment that he later admitted used junk science?

Leave a Comment When I started this blog, one of my goals was to make sure I exemplified Christian values without getting into partisan politics, and I do not intend to change that. However, I do believe that we can discuss politics and it’s impact on our lives without getting dragged down into that area.
That being said, I want to highlight an important resource for all Christians to consider. Pray the Vote 2008 is a project of The Presidential Prayer Team, and encourages us to pray for His guidance in this important election year.It has prayer resources for each candidate, each voting event (primaries, caucuses, etc), and over all resources to help us ask God to direct our country down the path that is His will and best for our country.
If this interests you, might want to check out the parent site, The Presidential Prayer Team, which encourages Christians to pray for our President; his health, well being, and his tuning in to the Lord to take our country in a direction that leads to His glory. It also lists other prayer suggestions every week for other government officials, quotes from Presidents on prayer, and lots of resources to help improve your prayer life. Let us know what you think of this resource, as well as what other resources you are using to increase your prayer life in the comments.
