The benefits in the health care bill will start showing up only a few short weeks before the November midterm elections. However, we won’t get hit with the taxes and regulations until after the presidential election in 2012. Match the effective dates of key reform provisions against the election calendar, and it becomes clear that Democrats were as focused on writing a legislative overhaul of the health care system as they were on devising a political road map for selling it to voters.

Yes, we’re going to get screwed, but we’re not going to feel it in time to rally against any liberal running for office. So, we have to remember in November — only vote for true constitutional conservatives.

We are fortunate though as Arizona is the model state for opposition Obamacare. On our November ballot look for our constitutional amendment, HCR 2014 — the “Healthcare Freedom Act.” http://www.azleg.gov/FormatDocument.asp?inDoc=/legtext/49leg/1r/bills/hcr2014h.htm

It is imperative that this amendment pass if we are going to preserve our medical freedom here in Arizona.

Make sure your friends and family get out to the polls and please tell everyone to vote for this measure.

Other states are not as far along as Arizona but are beginning to fight back. Today 13 states filed lawsuits opposing Obamacare and other states are lifting the language of HCR 2014 to use in their own states.
