Last night, the people of Massachusetts spoke. In crystal clear fashion, they told President Obama and Congressional Democrats to end this health care takeover now. 

The meaning and magnitude of Scott Brown's historic victory is truly stunning. 

No matter what the outcome of today’s special election in Massachusetts, the political games in Washington have changed. What makes this election so important is that it will serve as a referendum on the health care debate from one of the most liberal states in the country. People across the country have grown furious over the past several months, viewing the closed door negotiations and interest-group bribery with disgust.

As the final details of the health care bill are negotiated in secret meetings this week, people across the country are taking a step back to consider the evolution of such a bloated piece of legislation. It occurs to some that we don’t really know how Congress plans to lower our health care costs, one of the supposed reasons for this massive bill.
