It shouldn’t. I’m surprised there aren’t SC-bound lawsuits already filed.
It makes good headlines, but they will just find another way to pay themselves extra to compensate for not living like the rest of the nation.
So Bohner dropped it and put up Reids bill for a vote instead which kept those benefits for congress in it and it passed.
I recall that Tuesday night Megyn Kelly asking Lou Gomert TX about it :
“You know your rejection will result in a worse bill being passed”
Lou's response :”Its about principle. That bill does nothing”
Lou kept his benefits!
Ask your representative and senators who supported Obamacare if they or anyone on their staff are going to be exempt from the law. This is an uncomfortable question for them.
If they respond, they will likely cite lots of legislative references to obfuscate the issue and avoid having to clearly answer the question. But...our inquiries let them know we are aware of their hypocricy.
Done.
Saw Sen Vitter and the Citizen’s United Chairman on Hannity, last night, talking about this petition. Sen Vitter is one of the Good Guys. Thanks for posting this.
Laws are made by the ruling class for the servant class. Eventually those laws become rules which vary with the whim of the bureaucrats.
One of the oldest binding documents in history, the Oath written by Hippocrates is still held sacred by physicians: to treat the ill to the best of one's ability, to preserve a patient's privacy, to teach the secrets of medicine to the next generation, and so on.
Hypocrite:
a person who feigns some desirable or publicly approved attitude, especially one whose private life, opinions, or statements belie his or her public statements.
The Afordable Care Act is a tax which eliminated privacy and dictates who what and where treatment is provided by the Lord Obamscama!.
Why should they be exempt from treason?
It's a joke, right?
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.
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
