Do we need the government "to control the people"?

As if we need another reason to worry about our government shredding the Constitution and our rights as citizens. Rep. John Dingell in an interview with a Detroit radio show said and I quote, "DINGELL: Paul W., we're not ready to be doing it. But let me remind you, this has been going on for years. We are bringing it to a halt. The harsh fact of the matter is, when you're going to pass legislation that will cover 300 [million] American people in different ways, it takes a long time to do the necessary administrative steps that have to be taken to put the legislation together to control the people.". One of the socialist in the government finally slipped-up and admitted what their real plan is. Read more here http://mediamatters.org/research/201003240065. This is just one more example of the people in government thinking they know best and all we can do is quietly accept their plans for us. I say not so, enough is enough, we need to start pushing back. Learn the Constitution and "KNOW" your rights and then stand up for them against those who would take them from you. One of the things I think would be a good first step is, if you live in a state that is challenging their latest atrocity called healthcare then support your state officials. Also, if you live in a state that is making a 10th Amendment push then support those lawmakers. If your state is not doing this then contact your state representatives and push them to do so. Make demands of them to take back from the federal government what should be State issues. Politicians understand two things very well, votes and money. Withhold both and they will hear you. Please take a stand and start working now before it's to late.
