I normally try to stay away from politics on this site when I do post something because of the grief it causes me to give the thought required for a post about this United States government, but sometimes I just have to do the best I can. I just found, a year after its conception, the 9/12 Project as introduced by Glenn Beck. Like many so called solutions for our corrupt and rebellious governing it isn’t perfect, but it aligns closely to the heart of perfect, and so I give it a mention here.

The 9/12 Project

I am a Ron Paul supporter and an inactive member of the Campaign for Liberty, thanks largely to such limited resources prohibiting being more active.

I watched the debates and complete wash-out of Dr. Paul’s presidential campaign a couple of years ago and grew to admire an idea that he pushed throughout his campaign—Audit The fed. It’s a situation only getting more out of hand each day as the Federal Reserve continues to devalue our already worthless currency by printing more and more to cover the extreme and reckless spending of the U.S. government.

At the time people didn’t know for certain how the spending habits of Washington would change once a new President was put in place; we didn’t know who would be President at that time. Most of us assumed race would not win the election alone, but alas our countrymen failed again. Since Obama took office we’ve seen that his idea of a change was more of the same, but instead of settling an old family score with Saddam, like Bush, he is trying to turn our health care system Communist.

It’s not that I don’t see the need for something to be done with our current version of health care, in fact I see that it is on its last leg if something doesn’t change soon. Throwing more money at it is not the answer though.

Medical treatment seems to have taken example from the electronics industry, you know, the one that has us all scrambling for bigger and better TVs, computers, cell phones, and God knows what else every few months. Our health care has been on a steady incline in pricing that’s leaving hard working Americans fighting to stay healthy without the need for doctors, because they’ll regret enjoying their freedom of lifestyle when the doctor’s bill comes in.

Our health care system has but one major problem to contend with, and while our elected officials are still ignoring the demands of the citizens to handle the problem directly, it is a simple problem to fix. Regulate health care costs and you ensure every American has the opportunity for what is a God given right—good health and ready treatment in the absence of good health.

The last thing we need is more spending, more encouragement for the health care industry to keep raising prices as if they were paying retail for their supplies and equipment. It’s time health care in America went wholesale to the public, not on the public dole. And it’s time that Obama realizes who is calling the shots here…We The People…

Jose Ortega y Gasset said it nicely…”Order is not pressure which is imposed on society from without, but an equilibrium which is set up from within.“

The balance in this country is way off and it has been for many, many years. The coming Congressional elections promises to be one the most interesting wake up calls for politicians in decades, but a promise of action is not enough. The people of this nation need to stand up and demand that our officials do our bidding as our Four Fathers intended.

The 9/12 Project isn’t perfect, like our great nation of freedom and liberties, but it’s a step in the right direction.
