COLUMBIA, S.C. – Republican attorneys general in 13 states say congressional leaders must remove Nebraska’s political deal from the federal health care reform bill or face legal action, according to a letter provided to The Associated Press Wednesday.

“As chief legal officers of our states we are contemplating a legal challenge to this provision and we ask you to take action to render this challenge unnecessary by striking that provision,” they wrote.

I received my latest Ad Valorem property tax bill, on Thursday, Dec. 24, 2009, Christmas Eve. Unbeknownst to me, and a fact I found out today, 4 days later due to the long holiday weekend, the Governor had surreptitiously, in the dead of night sometime during the past year, repealed a valuable homestead exemption. I'm 75 years old and semi-invalid after suffering congestive heart failure last April, from which I've yet to recover back to normal....considering the fact that our Social Security COLA was removed, and my "Prescription Plan" had increased, my net S.S. has dropped from last year.... now, back to, and as a direct result of Gov. Perdue's repeal, my property taxes for the year 2009 have exactly doubled,.. a 100% increase. Ovomit's net of destruction has been cast far and wide..... I would guess you could call it "trickle down robbery". Perdue doesn't plan to run for re-election next cycle so it is now apparent we, the senior citizens, no longer enjoy a place on his priority list........As a commenter said above, Perdue is, indeed, a "big talker".........I hope the Gov. had a better Christmas than I had......

Obama has never showed he is legally in office. Why are they not putting pressure on OIP to release all Obama's records? Where is Rep Nathan Deal letter? I have not heard anything since NOV. On this. WAKE UP STATES all this is constitutional issue!!!! Oh and by the way why are they not asking Queen Nancy to produce the proof she used to certify Obama to be eligible to be President? Why is he limiting this to Health care bill?

Deal made the news last month when he announced he would ask Obama for his birth certificate. I haven't seen any action on that! Have you? Deal is also running for Governor next year. I hope one of these guys will walk the walk now that they have talked the talk, but I have my doubts! I hope they both prove me wrong and suceed in both efforts!

For me, it isn't the cost, it's the removing of our liberties to choose for ourselves the most personal of our needs.....medical care for our own bodies. The whole bill is against the Constitution and a rope around the neck for every American citizen. It will only enforce that we all be controlled by the government. I wonder how long it will be before they deny medical care to anyone who isn't a Radical Leftist? As the governor above pointed out, only those states with high Democratic gvmt got nice packages of tax payer money to offset the cost of some of the expense of the health care bill. This isn't the first time there's been discrimination because of beliefs or political affiliations.
