"Idaho first to sign law aimed at health care plan
By JOHN MILLER (AP) – 2 hours ago

BOISE, Idaho — Idaho took the lead in a growing, nationwide fight against health care overhaul Wednesday when its governor became the first to sign a measure requiring the state attorney general to sue the federal government if residents are forced to buy health insurance.

Similar legislation is pending in 37 other states.

Go to the link to read more of the article, but get this part from the bottom of the article about the minority leader crying about having to spend money to sue BHO and his den of thieves:

.......
Senate Minority Leader Kate Kelly, D-Boise, also complained about the bill's possible price tag. Those who drafted the new law say enforcement may require an additional Idaho deputy attorney general with an annual salary of $100,000 a year.

I'm not from Idaho, but if I were (are some of you guys?) I would be so incensed I'd email and write Kate Kelly and tell her that I would both campaign and donate against any effort she may have to remain in office after the next election...then I would back it up by working with the opposition and by donating to the opposition.

The good news is that in addition to Idaho, 37 other states are considering this legislation.  I'm going to get to work with letters, calls and emails to my Oklahoma reps to demand, in a nice way, something similar.  Maybe ya'll ought to as well....

Looks like Georgia's first attempt failed, but it's not over.

Sen. Judson Hill Continues Fight to Protect Georgians’ Choices on Healthcare

Presents Healthcare Freedom of Choice Act to Senate

ATLANTA (Mar. 17, 2010) – State Sen. Judson Hill (R-Marietta) brought legislation before the Senate that would allow Georgians a vote on the November ballot to protect their right to choice and freedoms with health insurance plans.  The Health Care Freedom of Choice Constitutional Amendment (Senate Resolution 794), authored by Hill, would have allowed Georgia citizens the opportunity to decide whether or not to add an amendment to Georgia Constitution stating that no one in the state could be forced to purchase a healthcare plan against their will or be penalized for not doing so.  All 34 Senate Republicans joined Hill in support of his measure, but with no Democrat support for SR 794, the resolution fell short of the two-thirds majority required to pass a Constitutional Amendment

“Today the Georgia Senate had the chance to give Georgians the opportunity to decide how best to protect their freedoms and liberties with their healthcare,” said Hill. “It is widely understood that state Constitutions may afford its residents greater liberties than the U.S. Constitution allows as our national policy should provide a floor, not a ceiling, for the rights of its citizens.  I am disappointed my Democratic colleagues in the Senate chose not to let Georgia’s citizens vote in November to preserve their existing rights they have regarding their healthcare.”

My Dad lives in Idaho, he was telling me about this Sunday

[JC5123]

I heard about this on the news this morning. Supposed "experts(D)" are apparently saying that this is a mute point, because Fed law trumps State law.    Ummm, since when? Apparently these "experts(D)" never bothered to actually READ the constitution.
