RE: sue against the constitutionality of the federal mandate that individuals purchase health in

TO ATTORNEY GENERAL,

Sunday the House of Representatives enacted "the government takeover of health care that wil
 cost of premiums, and force Americans onto government-run insurance”.

Today at least 15 states are currently pursuing litigation against the health bill: Virginia, Alaba
Pennsylvania, Texas, South Carolina, Washington, Utah, North Dakota, South Dakota, Michig
Louisiana.

The "Constitution does not permit Congress to enact any mandate for individuals to purchase a
insurance."

This is a critical moment in our nation's history. Defeating the individual insurance mandate in
aspect of the healthcare bill. With your help, we can make that happen. I urge you to get on bo
stake.

The American people owe Attorney General Cuccinelli a debt of gratitude for taking the initia
egregious assault on individual liberty in a generation."

Won’t you follow in his footsteps and help stop this bill from going into effect?

I urge you to please join the Attorney generals from 13 states who have sued the federal gover
2010, claiming the landmark health care overhaul bill is unconstitutional just seven minutes af
signed it into law. This federal mandate is unfunded and with cause further financial crisis to o
budget is already in an approximately $1,000,000,000.00 deficit. So beyond the constitutionali
NEW MEXICO JUST CAN NOT AFFORD IT! I also ask that you support legislation similar
specifies that its residents cannot be required to purchase health insurance.

Here are a few reasons why we oppose this legislation.

1) IT IS NOT IN THE CONSTITUTION - IT IS NOT A RIGHT! IT WAS INITIALLY PROV

A FRINGE BENEFIT OR LATER TO SENIORS AS PART OF MEDICARE, ETC. NOT ON
CONSTITUTIONAL OBLIGATION, IT IS IN FACT UNCONSTITUTIONAL ON SEVERA
US GOVERNMENT CAN NOT COMPEL CITIZENS TO BUY A PRODUCT, MUCH LESS
REFUSAL TO BUY IT. (B) I BELIEVE IT IS A VIOLATION OF THE EQUAL PROTECTI
OFFERS SPECIAL EXEMPTIONS AND BREAKS TO CERTAIN GROUPS INCLUDING:
NEBRASKA, LOUISIANA CITIZENS, AMISH AND CHRISTIAN SCIENCE RELIGIONS
SENIOR CONGRESSIONAL STAFF WHO WROTE THE BILL & EXEMPTED THEMSEL

2) WE HAVE NO CONFIDENCE IN GOVERNMENT RUN PROGRAMS. THEY'RE PERF

ABYSMAL WITH: MEDICAID, FANNIE/FREDDIE MAC, SOCIAL SECURITY, USPS, C
ETC. ETC.

3) GOVERNMENT MANDATES ON PRICES WILL DECREASE PROFIT FOR DOCTOR

PEOPLE FROM ENTERING THE MEDICAL FIELD. LESS PROVIDERS LEADS TO RAT
THE NEW ENGLAND JOURNAL OF MEDICINE SURVEY OF DOCTORS RESPONDED
THEM WOULD LEAVE THEIR PRACTICE RATHER THAN OPERATE UNDER THIS PL
THEIR HIPPOCRATIC OATH.

4) WE BELIEVE THAT THERE IS AN EFFORT UNDERWAY TO EXTEND COVERAGE

IMMIGRANTS, THUS INCREASING THE PARTICIPANTS. (FURTHER LEADS RATION
EXEMPTING THEM FROM THE FINES IF THEY REFUSE TO PARTICIPATE.

5) DECREASED PROVIDERS AND INCREASED PARTICIPANTS LEADS TO RATIONE

LINES, REDUCED TREATMENT DUE TO COST & ABILITY TO HANDLE THE POPUL
LEADS TO INCREASED COSTS ($2,500,000,000,000.00 CURRENT ESTIMATE) THIS IS

6) ALONG WITH DISCOURAGING PEOPLE FROM ENTERING THE MEDICAL FIELD

LOWERING OF ADMISSION STANDARDS TO BOLSTER ENROLLMENT IN MEDICA
STANDARDS LEADS TO SUBSTANDARD HEALTH CARE.

7) ALL OTHER GOVERNMENT PLANS, INCLUDING THOSE IN CUBA, ENGLAND, C

OUR EXISTING SYSTEM. WHY DO WE WANT TO EMULATE FAILURE? WHY ELSE
FOR CRITICAL CARE WHEN THEIR SYSTEM FAILS THEM? (RECENTLY, CANADIA
FOR HEART SURGERY. WHEN ASKED ABOUT IT - HE RESPONDED: "IT'S MY HEAL

8) MONOPOLIES (GOVERNMENT RUN HEALTH CARE), BY DEFINITION ELIMINAT

IS THE ENGINE FOR INNOVATION AND NATURAL MOTIVATION TO DEVELOP CO
STRATEGIES.

9) ISN'T IT OBVIOUS THAT GOVERNMENT RUN THE HEALTH CARE AND SOCIAL
OF INTEREST. DO YOU REALLY WANT THE FOLKS WHO PAY YOUR RETIREMENT
CONTROL OF YOUR HEALTH CARE.

10) WE HAVE THE BEST HEALTH CARE SYSTEM IN THE WORLD AND I SUPPORT
CARE AS A CONCEPT. {THOSE WHO CAN AFFORD IT PAY FOR IT THEM SELVES I
FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO HAVE AN EMPLOYER PROVIDED PLAN AND HAVE THE
THOSE WHO CAN NOT AFFORD IT. } I JUST BELIEVE IT CAN BE DONE IN THE FRE
WITH TORT REFORM, ALLOW COMPANIES TO COMPETE ACROSS STATE LINES.,
INSURANCE & PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANIES.

11) THIS TAKE OVER OF 1/6TH OF THE US ECONOMY ALSO OPENS THE DOOR FO
 REGULATE EVERY ASPECT OF YOUR LIFE UNDER THE AUSPICES OF HEALTH CA
EAT, DRINK, RISKY BEHAVIORS, ACCESS TO YOUR BANK ACCOUNT, ETC. ETC. W
LEGISLATION PROVIDE FOR THE HIRING OF 16,500 NEW IRS AGENTS.

12) MANY OF US HAVE A MORAL DIRECTIVE NOT TO PARTICIPATE IN ABORTION

WOULD FORCE CITIZENS TO PAY FOR ABORTION UNDER THIS PLAN.

13) ADMINISTRATION OFFICIALS HAVE SAID THAT THEY PLAN TO CUT THE PRO
INSURANCE COMPANIES AND PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANIES. THIS WILL STIFL
INNOVATION IN IN THE INDUSTRY AND REDUCE THE ABILITY OF THE DRUG CO
DRUGS TO THE MARKET PLACE. THIS WILL UNSEAT US AS THE WORLD LEADER
INDUSTRY.

14) WE CAN NOT AFFORD IT! IT IS ESTIMATED TO COST $2.5 TRILLION ($2,500,000
THIS IS SIMPLY UNSUSTAINABLE AND WILL PUT MY GREAT GRAND CHILDREN
ARE EVEN BORN. EVEN THE REPORTED NUMBERS ARE QUESTIONABLE WHEN T
KICKS IN IMMEDIATELY BUT THE "BENEFITS" DON'T START FOR 4 YEARS. EVEN
LEGISLATION, AMERICA'S CREDIT RATING HAS BEEN ON ROPES DUE TO OUR CU
BUDGET DEFICIT.

15) HIDDEN IN THE LEGISLATION ARE MANY FEDERAL MANDATES THAT OVER
OUR NATIONAL ECONOMY, INCLUDING THE HIJACKING OF STUDENT LOANS TH
HIGHER LOAN COSTS TO STUDENTS WITH INFLATED INTEREST RATES. THIS GO
WILL FURTHER DAMAGE OUR PRIVATE SECTOR BANKING INDUSTRY AND IS M
BANKING SYSTEM UNDER THE CONTROL OF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, CON
OF OUR FOUNDING FATHERS.

When they formed the Constitution, the states delegated 17 powers - and no more - to the cent
are listed in Article I, Section 8. Since Congress has only the powers granted to it by the states
Article I, Section 8, Congress and the president have no legitimate authority to act. Every othe
reserved to the states by the 10th Amendment.

You will look in vain among the enumerated powers of Article I, Section 8 for the right of the
mandate that American citizens purchase health insurance. It's not there.

This means Governor Richardson has every constitutional right and obligation to take a stand a

Of course, there is no Good and Welfare Clause in the Constitution, but assuming that Conyers
mistake, he likely was referring to the General Welfare Clause, which appears in two locations:

House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (MD) agreed that "Congress has 'broad authority' to force
care "so long as it was trying to promote 'the general welfare'." 3

(Rep. James Clyburn – the No. 3 ranking Democrat in the House – did not invoke the General W

The attempt by congressional leaders to invoke the General Welfare Clause as a cover for an un

Congressmen proposed that federal funds be used to subsidize that troubled industry. James Ma
such a proposal was unconstitutional, explaining:

Madison then warned about the consequences of allowing Congress to expand the narrow mean

As Jefferson summarized it:

First, the federal government cannot use the Commerce Clause in its argument to mandate indiv

Second, imposing a penalty for not purchasing health insurance violates the Eighth and Tenth A
States Constitution, which bars excessive bail and reserves authority not specifically delegated t
the Constitution to the States or to the People. I would argue that the automatic imposition of su
defendants a trial by jury would result in the federal government imposing bills of attainder aga

Presidential candidate Senator Barack Obama (D-IL) has put forth an ambitious health care plan

* Expanding eligibility for existing public programs, including both Medicaid and the State Chi
Program (SCHIP);
* Creating a National Health Insurance Exchange to serve as a federal regulator of private insur

* Providing income-related subsidies for those without employer-sponsored health insurance wh

* Requiring that medium and large employers provide coverage or pay a tax, while extending ta
and creating a government reinsurance program to cover businesses' catastrophic health costs.

Differing Estimates

Analyzing proposals based on campaign documents and media accounts is inherently difficult, a
level of detail necessary for a rigorous econometric analysis. Nonetheless, several organizations
of assumptions and methodologies.[2] Most notable are the Lewin Group,[3] Health Systems In
Urban Institute-Brookings Institution Tax Policy Center.[5]

The best independent research shows that the Obama plan would cover roughly half of the 45 m
expansion of public coverage; rely on soft methods of cost-savings; and require significant incre

Coverage. According to the Lewin Group, the Obama plan would reduce the number of uninsur

10:01:16 will be seen in the historical evidence presented below, the answer is an unequivocal “No!”; th
states. In fact, every major Founder condemned this type of state nullification – including Tho
invoked above as approving it.

Notwithstanding this fact, there is little doubt that they took definite steps to ensure that the fed
intrude into state issues through the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution:

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the S
States respectively, or to the people.

Under the Tenth Amendment, everything not specifically enumerated in the Constitution was t

I consider the foundation of the Constitution as laid on this ground: that “all powers not delega
Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states or to the people.”…To
boundaries thus specially drawn around the powers of Congress is to take possession of a boun

The capital and leading object of the Constitution was to leave with the states all authorities w
citizens only, and to transfer to the United States those which respected citizens of foreign or o

James Madison agreed. In fact, in 1792 when a proposal was made for the federal government
and prop it up with federal subsidies, Madison condemned that measure, first noting:

[T]hose who proposed the Constitution conceived [i.e., believed]… (and those who ratified the
this is not an indefinite [unrestricted] government…but a limited government tied down to the

Justice Joseph Story (a “Father of American Jurisprudence”) affirmed the same constitutional

Given the Framers’ clear vision of a small and limited federal government, how did it become
encompassing? The first reason had been foreseen by Founding Father Samuel Adams (“The F
Revolution”), who cautioned:

This is the current situation, and citizens do not like it:

* 64% of Americans believe that government is too big (6% believe it is too small, and only 25
 size”), and only 35% believe that the government is operating in line with the U. S. Constitutio
* When asked to identify the biggest threat to the future of the country, 55% identified big gov

James Madison agreed:

I declare it as my opinion that [if] the power of Congress be established in the latitude contend

Jefferson further explained:

Our country is too large to have all its affairs directed by a single government. Public servants

As Jefferson summarized it:

Time and again, the Supreme Court has ruled that all laws contrary to the Constitution are null

Were the state of New Mexico NOT in the business of "socialism" with medicaid, and redistri
medicaid also, governments at all levels would not be addressing the issue of health care.

I would point out to you that the only differences between welfare and slavery is one is done u

compensation, enslaving me. Both take from the fruits of MY labor without my permission. T
somewhere in the line of our history, our government has decided for themselves this "legal" s

Again, I would ask that you soul search and reaffirm your Oath to the Constitution and separat

The Issue is "access to affordable healthcare" which does not appears to be happening. The sol

Since the Insurance Industry has now established an 80% monopoly on the HC Industries Clin

Thank you for your time and consideration.
