Retired attorney sends “Red Flag Warning to the American People”
The Truth about the HEALTH CARE BILLS
Open Letter to the General Public from:
College Professor Constitutional Law Instructor Carrollton, Texas
Michael Connelly (Retired Attorney)
After reading the entire health care bill I have some comments, not about the bill, but about the effects on our Constitution. It’s a broader picture than just health care reform. It’s time we sit up and pay attention; once this sort of thing happens, it will be irreversible. We have reason to be very afraid of what is happening.
THE TRUTH ABOUT THE HEALTH CARE BILLS
Well, I have done it! I have read the entire text of proposed House Bill 3200: The Affordable Health Care Choices Act of 2009. I studied it with particular emphasis from my area of expertise, constitutional law. I was frankly concerned that parts of the proposed law that were being discussed might be unconstitutional. What I found was far worse than what I had heard or expected. To begin with, much of what has been said about the law and its implications is in fact true, despite what the Democrats and the media are saying. The law does provide for rationing of health care, particularly where senior citizens and other classes of citizens are involved, free health care for illegal immigrants, free abortion services, and probably forced participation in abortions by members of the medical profession.
The Bill will also eventually force private insurance companies out of business and put everyone into a government run system. All decisions about personal health care will ultimately be made by federal bureaucrats and most of them will not be health care professionals. Hospital admissions, payments to physicians, and allocations of necessary medical devices will be strictly controlled. However, as scary as all of that it, it just scratches the surface.
In fact, I have concluded that this legislation really has no intention of providing affordable health care choices. Instead, it is a convenient cover for the most massive transfer of power to the Executive Branch of government that has ever occurred, or even been contemplated. If this law or a similar one is adopted, major portions of the Constitution of the United States will effectively have been destroyed. The first thing to go will be the masterfully crafted balance of power between the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial branches of the U.S. Government.
The Congress will be transferring to the Obama Administration authority in a number of different areas over the lives of the American people and the businesses they own. The irony is that the Congress doesn’t have any authority to legislate in most of those areas to begin with. I defy anyone to read the text of the U.S. Constitution and find any authority granted to the members of Congress to regulate health care.
This legislation also provides for access by the appointees of the Obama administration of all of your personal healthcare information, your personal financial information, and the information of your employer, physician, and hospital. All of this is a direct violation of the specific provisions of the 4th Amendment to the Constitution protecting against unreasonable searches and seizures. You can also forget about the right to privacy. That will have been legislated into oblivion regardless of what the 3rd and 4th Amendments may provide. If you decide not to have healthcare insurance or if you have private insurance that is not deemed “acceptable” to the “Health Choices Administrator” appointed by Obama there will be a tax imposed on you. It is called a “tax” instead of a fine because of the intent to avoid application of the due process clause of the 5th Amendment. However, that doesn’t work because since there is nothing in the law that allows you to contest or appeal the imposition of the tax, it is definitely depriving someone of property without the “due process of law. So, there are three of those pesky amendments that the far left hate so much out the original ten in the Bill of Rights that are effectively nullified by this law. It doesn’t stop there though.
The 9th Amendment that provides: “The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.” The 10th Amendment states: “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are preserved to the States respectively, or to the people.” Under the provisions of this piece of Congressional handiwork neither the people nor the states are going to have any rights or powers at all in many areas that once were theirs to control. I could write many more pages about this legislation, but I think you get the idea.
This is not about health care; it is about seizing power and limiting rights. Article 6 of the Constitution requires the members of both houses of Congress to “be bound by oath or affirmation” to support the Constitution. If I was a member of Congress, I would not be able to vote for this legislation or anything like it without feeling I was violating that sacred oath or affirmation. If I voted for it anyway, I would hope the American people would hold me accountable. For those who might doubt the nature of this threat I suggest they consult the source.

P.S. Mr Connelly, Thank you for your expertise!
Let us all read this twice!!!!!
Many other issues which put America into an Unsustainable path!
FYI – IMPORTANT – Here’s the results of 4,000 hours of my research.
If these issuese can’t be resolved soon. Kiss America Goodbye.

Our prosperity, sovereignty & futures are greatly damaged. No doubt most people don’t know how bad it is yet. If they did? Democracy would be working. IF IT DOESN’T WORK? – Then I am quite sure we will see a bloody civil war on American soil to stop irreversible tyranny.
Let’s start an information tidal wave. I can effectively show 300 people per day the educational/expose videos mentioned above every single day. How? - I own a mobile movie theater. Any patriotic or civic group wanting to view this should contact me. It’s the only way to be sure those without internet access or internet savvy to actually see the most important educational videos proving the peril I speak of. I will also allow people to copy these videos to their hard drives. If people actually helped me to do this? I’m sure it could cause a tidal wave of educated people to write senators and recruit enough voters to put a stop to these idiots from ruining our country and lives.
The door of opportunity closes when our society fails to react in a timely fashion. Between the bad economy and spending my time and money to fight for America it has taken its toll. After giving this my all for the past 4 years I may have to accept being homeless very soon. This will soon force me to be MIA in the patriotic movement. THEREFORE: This is either one of my last efforts “or” my legacy to you and all other Patriots.
GOD SPEED,
CAJeffO
