Dear ______

In one of the most egregious examples of judicial activism in the history of the United States Supreme Court, ObamaCare was ruled constitutional last Thursday. But you and I know better. We understand that the federal government was never given - and does not have - the authority to force individuals to purchase a product in the private sector. Celebrate this 4th of July by declaring YOUR Independence from ObamaCare!

Click here to Declare your Independence from ObamaCare.

While the Court ruled the individual mandate is unconstitutional under the Commerce Clause of the Constitution, it claimed the law is constitutional as a taxing power of the Constitution. The novel aspect of this ruling is that this tax is the first in American history that does not require any positive action your part. The only requirement for this tax to apply to you is that you are alive.

To my knowledge, this is the first tax on breathing that has ever been imposed.

236 years ago Thomas Jefferson and a small band of brave patriots declared that the long train of abuses and usurpations committed by King George III against the American colonies were too much to bear. They took the extraordinary step of declaring their independence from the British Empire, risking their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor to be free.

Today, we’re asking patriotic Americans to Declare their Independence from ObamaCare.

In his immortal document, Jefferson listed the British abuses:

King George refused to obey the law
He created new agencies and sent enforcement officers to take the property of the American people
He imposed taxes without the consent of the people
He fundamentally altered the government of America
Sound familiar?

This 4th of July, will you join me in Declaring your Independence from ObamaCare?

At the link above, you can download and print the Declare your Independence from ObamaCare flyer, as well as a form to collect signatures from like-minded individuals who support a full repeal of ObamaCare.

Please click here to download the Declaration. We hope you’ll print the flyer and hand it out this week at Independence Day parades, rallies and cookouts to spread the message of Independence from ObamaCare.

If you believe as I do that this aggression against our liberty cannot stand, I implore you to join me in declaring today that you, like Samuel Adams, John Hancock and Benjamin Franklin, do not consent to the abuses of ObamaCare.

In Liberty,

Matt Kibbe
President & CEO, FreedomWorks

2. A tax on breathing?

While the Court ruled the individual mandate is unconstitutional under the Commerce Clause of the Constitution, it claimed the law is constitutional as a taxing power of the Constitution.

Matt Kibbe is an idiot. Has he never heard of a per capita tax? I pay, if I recall correctly, $15 a quarter simply for living in my town. It's a tax on nothing other than my existence.

3. Spread this one around.

"In July of 1798, Congress passed – and President John Adams signed - “An Act for the Relief of Sick and Disabled Seamen.” The law authorized the creation of a government operated marine hospital service and mandated that privately employed sailors be required to purchase health care insurance.

Keep in mind that the 5th Congress did not really need to struggle over the intentions of the drafters of the Constitutions in creating this Act as many of its members were the drafters of the Constitution.

And when the Bill came to the desk of President John Adams for signature, I think it’s safe to assume that the man in that chair had a pretty good grasp on what the framers had in mind."

Read the full article, and use it whenever they start Founding Father-ing.
