With elections in Virginia, New Jersey and Massachusetts, the voters of America sent an unmistakable message to the Obama Administration about the proposed takeover of health care.  Today, the White House has given their response to that message sent by the people:  Return to Sender.

Ahead of a PR stunt billed as a bipartisan summit, the Obama White House today released their new plan to take over 1/6th of our nation's economy.  Unfortunately, the only thing new about the plan is the marketing campaign.  This proposal, distilled from the previous Democrat bills that according to opinion polls and election results were roundly rejected by the American people, offers more of the same from the Obama Administration and the Democrat leaders in Congress - more taxes, more spending, and more government control. 

If the President was truly interested in a bipartisan solution to health care, he would begin his summit this week with an open slate and an open hand.  Instead, his White House threatened today to use procedural tricks to pass the Democrat bill without a single Republican vote if necessary. 

If the President had gotten the message from voters in New Jersey, Virginia and Massachusetts, he would work with Republicans to craft a proposal that reforms health care piece by piece. 

Instead, he has sent his own message. And if previous election results are any indication, the American people will not only return that message to sender, they will return Republicans to control of the U.S. Congress in 2010.
