Louisiana Senator Elbert Guillory R-Opelousas explains why he recently switched from the Democrat Party to the Republican Party. He discusses the history of the Republican Party, founded as an Abolitionist Movement in 1854. Guillory talks about how the welfare state is only a mechanism for politicians to control the black community.
“If you’re going to take away liberty and property, there has to be some sort of due process involved,” says Chris Littleton, the head of Ohioans for Healthcare Freedom and a Tea Party leader in the Buckeye state. “In this case, as citizens, we feel that those things are fundamentally inhibited and we want the Supreme Court to hear our case on this.”
Littleton’s group is pushing an upcoming ballot initiative that would amend the state constitution to prevent citizens’ involuntary participation in any health-insurance system. The U.S. Supreme Court is widely expected to issue a ruling on the constituationality of what’s known as the “individual mandate” in Obamacare and Littelton thinks passage of the Ohio Healthcare Freedom Amendment will give his state unique legal standing: “This is citizen-initiated, which is very unique. If it passes, Ohio will be the only state that’s done something like that.” While most challenges to the individual mandate revolve around the limits of Congress’ commerce clause powers, Littleton believes the amendment will activate due process and 10th Amendment considerations.
Littleton sat down with Reason.tv’s Nick Gillespie to discuss the Healthcare Freedom Amendment and the similarities between the Occupy Movement and the Tea Party. “I sympathize with the Occupy people…They’re sensing that the system is broken,” explains Littleton. “But it seems their answer to things is the confiscation of wealth…where [the Tea Party] advocates for legitimate and true free market systems rather than what we have right now.”

From the Straw Poll in Ames, Iowa today. Herman Cain really knows how to fire up a crowd. If you are from Atanta, you really know the power of Herman Cain. He may be derided as “only” being the CEO of Godfather’s Pizza, but he is an accomplished businessman who knows what he’s talking about. I hope he can go far in the primaries, and I would hope if he doesn’t win them that he would at least be considered for someone’s VP pick.
Some say his lack of political experience is a negative. To that I say, “how’s that ‘political experience’ in the current White House working out for us now?” Not very well, I’d say. Plus, when are we going to realize that America is a business, and should be run by a business person, not a politician? I hope sooner rather than later, for the sake of our children and grandchildren.
