America.....was a great idea while it lasted.

Do not give up, and do not give in.

Earlier generations of American patriots faced worse, and persevered.

Here is how it plays out. If passed, this massive, partisan piece of socialist dreck will never be directly repealed by our corrupt and craven Congress. There are two substantive possibilities to reverse it however. One is defiance: civil disobedience, voluntary non-production, capital withdrawal, and "underground" economics. I suggest you begin to plan your personal strategies now.

The other very real possibility is the use of our judiciary via lawsuit to promote a finding that our Federal government does not have any authority under the Constitution to mandate the purchase of a service nor to impose penalties upon those who refuse to comply.

I believe as a matter of both case law and Constitutional interpretation that Congress is exceeding its authority under Article 1 Section 8 of our greatest founding document, and that if properly challenged, sections of the new law will be held invalid.

I repeat: now is not the time to wave a white flag. If you truly care about Liberty and the future of your country, it is time to retrench, strategize, and reload.

Finally, the socialists' response to our efforts will reveal their true nature, and quite possibly contain the seeds of our eventual victory. Just be prepared to know your rights and do what you must when they mount their attacks.

Uhhh,light bulbs are outlawed now,didn't you read the memo?(well at least they don't want you buying any 100 watters this year ,and next year it will be.....)

Socialists prefer the dark,just like cockroaches.

Seriously,it looks like the Frenchman was correct:the Republic will last until the people vote themselves largesse from the treasury.

May your chains rest lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were ever our countryman...

>> America.....was a great idea while it lasted.

While I understand the despair, I want to underscore that you don’t speak for me.
