As the senate and house prepare for the August recess, it’s easy to forget the country is in between rounds in the critical fight waged against misguided health care reform by clear-headed patriots. As we regroup, so will they. It is folly to believe the fight is over. The takeover of the private health section is alive and well as demonstrated by the current bill’s attempt to gut ERISA and allow employees to sue employers over health care, causing a mass exodus by employers from private insurance to the public plan. There are many nefarious and deceitful ways liberals can destroy private insurance, and you can bet the bill nobody has read yet has plenty of them. They only need to sneak in one and the game is over.

Now is certainly not the time to rest. The schedule of those serving in the federal legislature, even on recess, is often full with fundraisers and other political pastimes such as town hall meetings. Keep up the pressure; email and phone your representative and senator. To find out who your representative is and write them check here. To contact your representative by phone go here. For senators, this page is useful. Often representatives and senators will have local numbers in your area. Use Google to find this contact information and location.

I know by nature many of you are not protesters and picketers. However the recent tea party protests emphasizes an important fact – when necessary we do what must be done. Now is the time for more tea parties, picketing outside political venues, making phone calls, and emailing.

America scored a major victory this week thanks to the efforts of talk show hosts, conservative pundits, bloggers, and people like you who care about the future of this country. John McCain recently said elections have consequences – and they do. However, who can forget his statement that we have nothing to fear from an Obama presidency during the campaign? If elections have consequences, the senator from Arizona acted to the contrary.

There is a long road ahead and a litany of issues to address. There are a lot of hills and mountains to climb, and our eyes have been fixated on the one marked socialized health care. Now our attention must diversify and take in the entire landscape of issues. Let’s not forget the additional stimulus plan under consideration, or the fact that cap-and-tax passed in the House thanks to these eight GOP sell-outs:

Our very way of life is under attack. Deficits are soaring and even if victorious against cap-and-tax and government controlled health care, our deficits, now monumental, threaten to saddle future generations and impact the American dream so many fought and died for. Government now has a stake in banks and car companies. There is a lot of damage Obama has done and is still capable of doing. Our only recourse is to put the pressure on. Even if you feel your representative or senator is beyond hope, know there are many who, like you, don’t like the change Obama is offering.

Hope and change? Despair and change is more like it. So regardless of where you live, it is your civic and moral duty to let your voice be heard.

The road is long and treacherous, but just remember this: After the dark days of Jimmy Carter came the bright shining city on the hill of Ronald Reagan. I am optimistic, and my optimism fuels my resistance. From the greatest challenges come the greatest opportunities. Just think of what we can accomplish given the challenge of Obama, the liberals, and their radical agenda.

Next stop on the road to Waterloo? 2010.

Keep up the fight.
