President Obama said a lot of great things that I really liked in his Health Care Marketing Conference last night (July 22, 2009). I am all for the reforms he talked about. You can watch it here on hulu. The problem is we have no idea what is actually in this health care reform bill.

Senator Tom Coburn has proposed an amendment in the Senate Health Committee that would require members of Congress to switch from their current health insurance plans to any government provided insurance scheme that's created as part of proposed health care legislation. They voted 12-11 for it. This means close to half of the Senators on the committee decided that the health care plan they are cooking up, which is good enough for us the people of our great country, is definately not good enough for them. Help us put the entire Congress on the spot.

That which we call the Real ID. By any other name would still smell like rotting organic material. More than half of the States in our Union have rejected the Real ID act or have introduced legislation to reject the Real ID. This shows that the Real ID is something we did not want. However, the Real ID is back under a different name, and this time it is being driven NOT by Congress, but by un-elected bureaucrats in the DHS and the State Department. This doesn't mean Congress is blameless. Congress is doing nothing to reign in the bureaucrats.

Oklahoma State House is considering a historic bill to take back state's rights under the 10th Amendment to the Constitution. Congress has slowly eroded the rights of states to keep powers not specifically granted to the federal government, by the Constitution of the United State. We are constantly told by the White House and Congress that it's not about small government or big government but about good government.

Congress passed a 680-page stimulus bill, and the 1,248-page Public Land Management Act. Do you really think Congress read this mess before making it law?
