When the federal government passed the first massive bailout bill, I gave up entirely on trying to sway them.  While the efforts on the part of Campaign for Liberty to convince our legislatures to pass the Audit the Fed bill have been encouraging, I believe that for the most part, our federal government has run amoke and cannot be restrained easily even by large groups of individuals.  However, our government was set up to give the greatest power to the individual as possible.  We do not need to rely on our federal government to make the right choice regarding health care.  We can ask our state governments to protect us instead.

Instead of wasting my energy on large efforts to stop the federal government from passing health care legislation, I am directing my energies toward my state government and asking them to protect me from the effects of this bill.  My first step is to send a letter to my representatives asking them to sponsor a resolution negating the effects of the federal health care bill.  Here is the letter I sent:

"As you know, the federal government is preparing to pass a health care bill that would dramatically change our health care system. This massive bill contains many provisions that would limit and even destroy many of our God-given rights.

"I have learned that it is useless to fight our federal government. As an individual, I have very little power to sway them. Even as part of a group, they seem to be insulated from public opinion, as demonstrated by the passing of the bailout bills. However, our country is set up in a way that allows the states to protect their citizens when the federal government makes laws that are unconstitutional and tyrannous.

"You can protect us from this bill by submitting a resolution in the state legislature stating that Utah is exempt from federal meddling in its health care system. I urge you to begin drawing up a resolution immediately. I and many of my fellow Utahns in my lobbying group, campaignforliberty.com will support your efforts. Thank you for considering my suggestion."

I sent one to my house representative and my senator and a similar one to the governor.  I will put everything I can into this effort because I know it stands a much better chance of realization than anything I can do on the federal level.  Please help me in this effort, fellow Utahns!  We don't have to take federal intervention laying down!
