America Rejecting Obama’s Socialist Health Care

Missouri voters Tuesday sent a clear message of discontent to Washington and Democrats less than 100 days before the midterm elections.  They overwhelmingly rejected a key provision of Barack Hussein Obama’s health care law.  Missouri doesn’t want Obamacare.

About 71% of Missouri voters backed a ballot measure, Proposition C, which would prohibit the government from requiring people to have health insurance or from penalizing them for not having it. The Missouri law conflicts with a federal requirement that most people have health insurance or face penalties starting in 2014.

"To us, it symbolized everything," said Annette Read, a tea party participant from suburban St. Louis who quit her online retail job to lead a yearlong campaign for the Missouri ballot measure. "The entire frustration in the country ... how our government has misspent, how they haven't listened to the people, this measure in general encompassed all of that."

"I believe that the general public has been duped about the benefits of the health care proposal," said Mike Sampson of Jefferson City, an independent emergency management contractor, who voted for the proposition. "My guess is federal law will in fact supersede state law, but we need to send a message to the folks in Washington, D.C., that people in the hinterlands are not happy."

Legislatures in Arizona, Georgia, Idaho, Louisiana and Virginia have passed similar statutes without referring them to the ballot, and voters in Arizona and Oklahoma will vote on such measures as state constitutional amendments in November. Missouri was the first state to challenge aspects of the federal law in a referendum.

People across America are saying NO to Obamacare socialized health care.  We watched the buying of congressional votes and other underhanded tactics of Obama, Pelosi, Reid, and other ranking Democrats in forcing this obomanation and America.
