"Comrades!" he cried. "You do not imagine, I hope, that we pigs are doing this in a spirit of selfishness and privilege? Many of us actually dislike milk and apples. I dislike them myself. Our sole object in taking these things is to preserve our health. Milk and apples (this has been proved by Science, comrades) contain substances absolutely necessary to the well-being of a pig. We pigs are brainworkers. The whole management and organization of this farm depend on us. Day and night we are watching over your welfare. It is for YOUR sake that we drink that milk and eat those apples." - George Orwell, Animal Farm.

The Communist Doctrine of Zombie Equality transparently decrees that there be no discrimination based on titled, elite, positions in the US Federal Communist Government.

Fairness demands that all bow towards Obama 5 times a day, AND that ALL pay 5 times the value of the Insurance Tax, commonly called Obamacare.

“Exemptions” are the ultimate act of extreme, anti-social, anti-zombie behavior.

The basic premise of Vittner's proposal is correct--that elected representatives must live under the same laws they impose on their fellow citizens.

Of far greater significance, however, is the fact that the so-called "Affordable Care Act" is a departure from the principles underlying America's Constitutional limitations on coercive government power and should be imposed on no one--including Congressmen!

By signing such a document, are citizens saying, in effect, we accept this unconstitutional invasion of our rights as long as you Congressmen will allow it to happen to you and your families?

"...nip the shoots of arbitrary power in the bud, is the only maxim which can ever preserve the liberties of any people. When the people give way, their deceivers, betrayers, and destroyers press upon them so fast, that there is no resisting afterwards. The nature of the encroachment upon the American constitution is such, as to grow every day more and more encroaching. Like a cancer, it eats faster and faster every hour. The revenue creates pensioners, and the pensioners urge for more revenue. The people grow less steady, spirited, and virtuous, the seekers more numerous and more corrupt, and every day increases the circles of their dependents and expectants, until virtue, integrity, public spirit, simplicity, and frugality, become the objects of ridicule and scorn, and vanity, luxury, foppery, selfishness, meanness, and downright venality swallow up the whole society." - John Adams

"...there have always been those who wish to enlarge the powers of the General Government. There is but one safe rule...confine (it) within the sphere of its appropriate duties. It has no power to raise a revenue or impose taxes except for the purposes enumerated in the Constitution....Every attempt to exercise power beyond these limits should be promptly and firmly opposed." - Andrew Jackson's Valedictory

"...experience hath shewn, that even under the best forms (of government), those entrusted with power have, in time, and by slow operations, perverted it into tyranny; and it is believed that the most effectual means of preventing this would be, to illuminate...the minds of the people...to give them knowledge of those facts, which history exhibiteth. History, by apprizing them of the past, will enable them to judge of the future...it will qualify them as judges of the actions and designs of men; it will enable them to know ambition under every disguise it may assume; and knowing it, to defeat its views...." - Jefferson's Bill for the more general diffusion of knowledge for Virginia

"The first grand right is that of the people having a share in their own government by their representatives chosen by themselves, and...of being ruled by laws which they themselves approve, not by edicts of men over whom they have no controul...." - John Adams

No.

I'm signing this document to shine light on the fact, for the low-information voters, that some pigs think they are more equal than others.

I want them on record, for the voting public to see, continuing to exempt themselves from the same conditions they impose on the public.

I want them voted out of office and this monstrosity repealed.

Thank you for clearly clarifying your intention. Hopefully, others will be as focused.

"What a fine reflection and consolation is it for a man, that he can be subjected to no laws which he does not make himself, or constitute some of his friends to make for him,—his father, brother, neighbor, friend, a man of his own rank, nearly of his own education, fortune, habits, passions, prejudices, one whose life and fortune and liberty are to be affected, like those of his constituents, by the laws he shall consent to for himself and them! What a satisfaction is it to reflect, that he can lie under the imputation of no guilt, be subjected to no punishment, lose none of his property, or the necessaries, conveniences, or ornaments of life, which indulgent Providence has showered around him, but by the judgment of his peers, his equals, his neighbors, men who know him and to whom he is known, who have no end to serve by punishing him, who wish to find him innocent, if charged with a crime, and are indifferent on which side the truth lies, if he disputes with his neighbor!" - John Adams, The Revolutionary Writings of John Adams, Selected and with a Foreword by C. Bradley Thompson (Indianapolis: Liberty Fund, 2000). Chapter: No. iii

One of the oldest binding documents in history, the Oath written by Hippocrates is still held sacred by physicians

A number of medical schools have dropped the Hippocratic Oath. It doesn't fit with abortion and euthanasia and such.

And the Constitution has been dropped in the toilet so that Obama's dictates will rule!

It is the Republicans, essentially, who flushed that toilet by refusing to actually oppose the Democrats. I read in their actions that the Republican Party is, at best, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Democrat Party whose purpose is to provide a goat and whipping boy for the Democrats so they can deflect the people’s anger away from themselves.When the power grab is complete the Purges will begin and those Republicans who are pleading with the Moslem Crocodile to, “Eat me last!” will be eaten first in show trials. Then we will begin to find out for sure what FEMA and TSA etc are all about.

And of course, now the media is praising Christie, because he is the perfect Republican to them.

The DNC didn't choose to oppose him in New Jersey, because this is the guy they want to be the nominee.....Then they will go after him guns blazing, and he will suffer the same fate as McLame and Romney.
