From State to State

      Finally, I'm home. A few hours ago I flew from Texas, one of the greatest states in our Union, and came out in one of the states I've called home. I was greeted with news that made me jump higher than a little boy on Christmas morning or shout louder than a man watching the super bowl. Three years ago the Republican Party made an ultimatum and today they delivered their promise.

      For those who do not remember, three years ago the Republicans and Libertarians pledged that if the Democrats passed a bill through the budget, they would destroy it through the budget. Under reconciliation the Democratic party passed the Affordable Care Act with a strict party-line 51% vote – ramrodding it passed our traditional, super-majority threshold. In the upcoming elections the Democratic party lost the control of the House and gave up several seats in the senate. But the rally to repeal the most destructive bill under the Obama Administration did not end with our elections nor our Tea Party and Libertarian movements. Large Corporations, Big Unions, and our representative government opted out of Obama's healthcare. They pleaded with our president and lobbied our congress to pass exemptions to free them from their economic demise. The fruition of our labors, three years later, is a bi-partisan attempt to defund Obamacare.

     There are some who will read this as adoration and excitement for a government shutdown. Nothing could be farther from the truth; Nothing could cause more grief than to watch our Senate fight so fervently to destroy our nation. I have prayed that the American government would listen to the American people. I have prayed that Americans will understand that Liberty is non-partisan. I have prayed that America will look beyond satisfying our president and seek what is right for our people. And today Congress has stood toe-to-toe fighting for this cause. Today our government placed us before their reputation. Today Liberty became non-partisan. Today Americans and America came together to tell our president that America is worth more than his reputation. If our government is unwilling to hear our voices then our government is undeserving of our funds.


Whether or not the fight against Obamacare is long-lived, a statement was clearly made. The American people are becoming more aware that there are too many politicians too far away from home.
