Just An Average Joe: Lobbyists, Civil Unrest And Subversion

The Insurance Companies Jihad against Healthcare Reform

Watching the Healthcare debate and seeing the Town Hall gatherings looking more like disorganized third world chaos, I can not help but think Lobbying and Corporate influence is the cancer that is eroding the Constitution and the overall moral fiber of our nation. When Politicians receive donations from Corporations, it is not only to elect or re-elect that politician but, to bribe them to legislate in the Corporations best interests. Corporations and the bitter political fighting between the Republicans and the Democrats have replaced the work of the people with the war of the Lobbyists.

Earlier this week, the Rachel Maddow Show on MSNBC, talked about a Lobbying Organization called the Freedom Works. Ms. Maddow described how the Town Hall meetings were being organized and orchestrated by this group under the direct influence of a high ranking Republican and former Legislator. This individual is Dick Armey. Everything I have read about Mr. Armey seems to praise him and present a very accomplished political career. This is why I fail to understand how a man of his stature, can be apart of what I believe is, the instigation of Civil Unrest and Government Subversion, by his organizations bid to defeat the Healthcare Bill being presented by the Obama Administration. I obtained a copy of a letter Mr. Armey has published along with detailed instructions on how to deliberately disrupt any organized discussion on healthcare. I believe these tactics go directly against the very root of what our nation is all about. For this prominent former Legislator, to be a part of a deliberate subversion, to our democratic system is unconscionable. I would like to know where the FBI or any Law Enforcement agency is in allowing this to happen. Spirited conversation and debate is the hallmark of our great liberties and this encroachment upon our rights should not go unchallenged. The following is from the Freedom Works website; http://www.freedomworks.org/about/about-freedomworks
What We Do
FreedomWorks recruits, educates, trains and mobilizes hundreds of thousands of volunteer activists to fight for less government, lower taxes, and more freedom.
This organization calls their recruits Activists? The following is from their mission statement; http://www.freedomworks.org/about/our-mission
FreedomWorks drives policy change by training and mobilizing grassroots Americans to engage their fellow citizens and encourage their political representatives to act in defense of individual freedom and economic opportunity.
Change the rhetoric a little bit here and this could be recruitment for a Suicide Bomber. The Gun these Bombers carry is their voices. The bullets they shoot are the words they use to drown out the real discussion needed. The bombs they have are the disruption and discord that shuts down any conversation about the Healthcare Issue.

Freedom Works, along with the politicians receiving Insurance Company donations (bribes) are the Jihadists hired by the Insurance Companies to prevent their Gold Mines from being closed. The people who believe this organization and other Lobbyist groups, are uninformed citizens who have become the victims of the old Karl Rovian Mantra; Be Afraid, Be Very Afraid. In turn, the despicable Goebbals style propaganda, weaves its ugly influence and prays on the ignorance of the unknowing. So much to the effect that the average citizen is deceived into fighting for a cause, which is thought to be a danger to them, when it serves only the wealthy Insurance Companies best interests.

So, for all of you who have your pockets lined with bribe money, how do you look yourself in the mirror every day. When you see the Civil Unrest and discord you have caused, do you even feel any type of regret? Is the amount of money worth that much to all of you that you even sacrifice your soul? If I were Mr. Armey, I would not want to be associated with any type of activities that could impugn upon a stellar career as he has had. But then again, maybe his career is not as stellar as I think. For Mr. Armey and those of the Lobbyist groups, integrity has a price. For me, keep your Master Card in your pocket because mine is priceless.
