The Show Me State Leads again

For all of us that have been following the twists and turns of Obamacare the State of Missouri did us a big favor yesterday.  They voted on proposition C which states essentially that the federal government does not have the right to force the citizens of Missouri to buy something, in this case insurance, if they do not want to.  The act of doing nothing is not part of the commerce clause.

The federal government again has overstepped its bounds.  70% of the voters voted for the proposition.  Now of course the current administration will feel it needs to file suit against the citizens of Missouri to enforce Obamacare in Missouri.

Just like the Arizona immigration law the current administration will feel it needs to enforce its demands on an unwilling public.  

We have not had this kind of states rights vs federal power grab since the Civil War.

It is high time for the leadership in all of these United States to pass legislation pushing back the federal governments encroachment.  Whether it is on immigration or healthcare.  The right to make and enforce these decision resides with
"we the people".  

Thank you Missouri for standing up for our rights.  Perhaps the "Show me state" can be the "Show me the way state."
