Before it is too late

I usually spend some time in thought and a little research before I post anything but this time I feel it is better to allow my emotion to speak...
Regardless of your opinion of the content of the healthcare bill think about the repercussions! We just had a single party in our government threaten and bribe its way to the passage of one of the biggest federal power-grabs in history! Where do we draw the line? At what point do we admit that we have left our Constitutional Republic far behind in the dust? Look at history, I am begging here look! Please study the events that led to the rise of some of the worst totalitarian governments in history and then objectively look at where we, the United States, are as a nation on that same path. Be it the unconstitutional regulation of intra-state commerce, the blatantly constitutionally illegal restriction and INFRINGEMENT of our "Creator given" right to bear arms, or the federal control of the education system, we have been headed down this dark and scary road to totalitarianism for some time. All I have is my one small voice amid the billions in the world but I am choosing to use it to hopefully influence a person or two to study the history and see what is happening. Our greatest defense against any of the forms total government control may take, be they Fascism, Nazism, Socialism or Communism, is an educated citizenry! We must deal with this threat now or our children and grandchildren most certainly will feel the boot heel of totalitarianism pressing firmly against the backs of their necks!
