Our Next Step for Health Care
The House of Representatives passed HR 3962 late on a Saturday night. The Senate will pass a version by the end of this year and this legislation will become law even though it is unconstitutional.
What can we do since the voice of the people is no longer relevant in Washington, DC? Let’s look at our North Carolina state Constitution for a solution:
Article 1
Sec. 12. Right of assembly and petition.
The people have a right to assemble together to consult for their common good, to instruct their representatives, and to apply to the General Assembly for redress of grievances; but secret political societies are dangerous to the liberties of a free people and shall not be tolerated.
It is past time to instruct our state representatives. A special session of the North Carolina General Assembly may be convened as outlined in Article 2, Section 11(2) below:
Article 2
Sec. 11. Sessions.
(1) Regular Sessions. The General Assembly shall meet in regular session in 1973 and every two years thereafter on the day prescribed by law. Neither house shall proceed upon public business unless a majority of all of its members are actually present.
(2) Extra sessions on legislative call. The President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives shall convene the General Assembly in extra session by their joint proclamation upon receipt by the President of the Senate of written requests therefore signed by three-fifths of all the members of the Senate and upon receipt by the Speaker of the House of Representatives of written requests therefore signed by three-fifths of all the members of the House of Representatives.
If the federal government will not listen to the people, let’s take the fight to the federal government by protesting at our state legislator’s offices until they convene an extra session of the General Assembly to pass legislation that will allow North Carolina to “opt-out” of federal health care. Since the legislation has no legal basis under the Constitution, we have no reason to follow its mandate. The states of Texas and Florida are preparing their legislation to ignore federal health care. Let’s show the country that North Carolina understands the 10th amendment as well as any other state since our own governor Thomas Burke was the one man responsible for its inclusion in the Bill of Rights.
Under Article 2, Section 12 of our state constitution, each member of the General Assembly takes an oath or affirmation (see James 5:12) to support the Constitution of the United States. I say it is past time to stand up and assert our state’s rights and the Constitution.
Sec. 12. Oath of members.
Each member of the General Assembly, before taking his seat, shall take an oath or affirmation that he will support the Constitution and laws of the United States and the Constitution of the State of North Carolina, and will faithfully discharge his duty as a member of the Senate or House of Representatives.
Pass this information along to as many patriotic groups in the state and NCFreedom.us will coordinate the protests across North Carolina.

We will have to put a lot of pressure on the House of Representatives and hope they have the backbone to stand up for what is right. If the people of N.C. WANT FREEDOM LIKE I THINK THEY DO, this would really get Obama's attention. For the love of Pete, WAKE UP PEOPLE. The time is at hand fo all good men and women to take a stand for Liberty and Freedom.

My personal private practical knowledge is that we must virtually dwell and permit stay due to the fact what 1 person thinks just — an additional individual purely does not. Human beings are heading to try and do what they want to do. In the end, they usually do. One of the most we can hope for is to establish a couple of factors here and there that hopefully, will allow them to create just a little superior informed selection. Otherwise, fantastic post.
