			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://markleyva.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Mark-head-shot-320x200.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-469" title="Mark head shot [320x200]" src="http://markleyva.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Mark-head-shot-320x200-300x209.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="209" /></a>When the majority of the Americans disapprove of any form of government run healthcare and this administration along with Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid is determined to ram it down our throats. The talk about reconciliation to pass healthcare is going to very dangerous for the Democrats that want to pass legislation with a minimum  fifty percent plus one vote. When the Democrats were in the minority in Congress, this was not a good idea to stop the Republicans when using a filibuster. Now that the Democrats are temporary in power and can&#8217;t get the Republicans from filibustering legislation, now the Democrats think reconciliation is a good idea. When will the Democrats wake up, the American people don&#8217;t want government run healthcare. Seniors have the most to lose if healthcare is passed, with all the budgets cuts in Medicare seniors will feel the affects soon. Mr. President, stop buying healthcare votes! ! !</p>

There is no real plan or information that shows reform or reduction of healthcare costs, the only thing we see is massive tax increases and the cost of healthcare rising under his so called plan. The only agenda of the summit is to ram some Democratic bill through that the American people don&#8217;t want. We the people are not going to be taken advantage of anymore.</p>

This is just a sham on the American people, the majority roughly 86% of the American public do not want a government run Healthcare. The Democrats will reject the Obama&#8217;s Healthcare plan, then they will try to convince us to get behind and pass the original bill. I guess they think we have stupid on our foreheads? Well, I hope you don&#8217;t buy this sham. The Democrats have the numbers to pass any legislation if they want, it is not the Republican&#8217;s standing in the way.  The Democrats are the party of NO right now for not passing bad legislation, they want a Republican name voting on the bill so they can blame the Republicans when bad legislation fail. I am proud the Republicans are united and standing against bad legislation that would hurt the American taxpayers.</p>

Evan Bayh stepping down from his Senate seat.  He doesn&#8217;t like the partisan politics on capital hill, well when only one side has total power and control it usually is that way. Sen. Bayh, the real reason you are stepping down is you do not want to get beat in November and ruin a perfect political career. Do you know what that really says to the American people and the voters of Indiana? You are a quitter when the going gets tough. People labeled you a moderate Democrat in label only; you never stood up to your party to prove your moderate stance. The only thing you did was give good moderate lip service, and then voted like a Harry Reid puppet. That is the real truth, so don&#8217;t think we are going to forget the real truth. If you can&#8217;t fight and win your own seat in the state of Indiana, you must be a fooled if you think you could run for President.  If you say you need to distance yourself from this administration, you should have showed that with your voting record when you had a chance.</p>

Maybe then you will be able to discuss and talk about subjects and not sound so uninformed. If you are so passionate for the truth, learn where to go to find it. You might not like Mark Leyva running, but the majority of the voters in the primary have a different opinion than you. Try running for office yourself and then maybe you will appreciate what it takes, it is easy to trash talk try walking the walk. The haters never get specific about why I am not qualified with other than their personal emotions. I know the issues well and have good common sense solutions that are not just Mark Leyva&#8217;s ideas. They are the ideas from Professors like Martin L. Gross, Pat Choat, Walter Williams, and Thomas Sowell. So when you trash Mark Leyva on his issues and solutions, you are also trashing these great professors of government and economics.</p>

You deserve it and all the spoils that come after the hard work and your victory yesterday. The TEA Party movement is the same; our great super bowl victory will come in this up coming November 2010 sweeping victories that will give us back control of both HOUSE &amp; SENATE for 2011. All we have to do is work hard like the Super Bowl champs and we too can reap the same rewards in November.</p>

First of all this &#8220;Pay-go&#8221; stuff is nothing more than political fluff and puff that is meaningless. The Democrats think this is a real solution to our spending and revenue problems. The true facts are when we had to stimulate the economy with good policies that worked; there were no &#8220;Pay-go&#8221; rules. Kennedy in 1962 and Reagan in 1986 didn&#8217;t need a &#8220;Pay-go&#8221; rule to get this country back on track. They just slowed spending and cut tax rates across the board along with cutting the corporate tax and capital gains. When will the Democrats wake up!</p>

All you have to do is cut TAX RATES, CORPORATE TAXES, and CAPITAL GAINS. Reducing the burden of government on businesses will create jobs on their own and increase tax revenues to the Treasury Department. Stop hating CAPITALISM, help small business by cutting taxes and let them create jobs. Remember small business creates 60% of all jobs, and with out people working they can&#8217;t pay taxes and you don&#8217;t have  money for government budgets. Success is duplicated not re-invented, just do what worked in past history to stimulate government and get us out of a recession. Do what JFK did in 1962 and Reagan did 1986, cut tax rates across the board, cut corporate tax, and the capital gains tax. Good policies work 100% of the time. The FAIR TAX does all this and more, so passing HR 25 would work to stimulate the economy and not cost the taxpayers any new taxes.</p>
