On January 4, President Obama took the unprecedented step of declaring the Senate to be in recess — although the Senate considered itself to be in session — so that he could install several appointees in key positions at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) and the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB). While a lot of attention has been focused on the procedural defect of these appointments (correctly, as I’ve explained), there has been far too little attention paid to the most radical of these appointees: Richard Griffin.

The Federal Health Care Law was 996-pages long with one noteworthy six-page excerpt creating Health Insurance Exchanges (HIE). A health exchange is like most ideas: sounds great but can be a disaster in the hands of the government. Under the federal Health Care take-over HIE are the vehicle President Obama will use to force millions of people into government run health care.

Arkansas bureaucrats rushed forward to implement a HIE by accept federal monies with all of their strings attached. However, a bipartisan coalition of legislators stood their ground and stopped the rush to be the first in line. See where you Representative or Senator stands at the link below.

Pulaski County Quorum Court

We have heard that the watershed issue will not be brought up at this evening’s Quorum Court meeting; HOWEVER that, frankly, doesn’t mean a whole lot. Those wishing to pass this horribly written piece of county legislation could still bring up the matter. In the end, either way, it is important for us to be there in mass to let our local elected officials where we all stand on this issue.

The meeting will begin at 7:00p at 201 S. Broadway, Suite 410 in Little Rock.

We encourage you to join us in contacting the members of the Pulaski County Quorum Court. Let them know that it’s not just a bad idea to be forced to give up our property. It’s un-American.
