The National Libertarian Party issued the following statement:
A President Mitt Romney would not undo Obama Care. He’d make it permanent.
The Supreme Court Ruling on Obama Care does not matter. It will make little difference to America in the short run, and no difference in the long run.
Why? Because almost all elected Republicans and Democrats are Big Government politicians – in all things – including health care. After this Supreme Court decision, they will get back to work expanding government involvement in all things – especially health care.
One thing could make things worse. Electing Republican Mitt Romney President.
Why? Republicans fiercely oppose, and often defeat Democratic Party attempts to massively expand government involvement in Health Care – such as HillaryCare.
But Democrats usually vote for Republican Party legislation to massively expand government’s role in Health Care.
Republican President George Bush’s $1.1 Trillion Government Prescription Drug Program was voted into law by Republicans and Democrats.
Republican Governor Mitt Romney’s Massachusetts state government expansion into Massachusetts health care – RomneyCare – was voted into law by both Republicans and Democrats. With virtually no resistance.
A Republican-controlled House of Representatives and US Senate would oppose Democratic President Barack Obama’s health care proposals.
But a Republican majority House of Representatives and US Senate would support and vote for a Republican President Mitt Romney’s Big Government health care proposals. And most Democrats in the House and Senate would, too.
What Republican Governor Romney did to Massachusetts’ health care, a Republican President Romney would do to America’s health care.
A President Mitt Romney would not undo ObamaCare. He’d make it permanent.
A first-term President Mitt Romney would be far more dangerous to small business, the private sector, and taxpayers than a lame-duck President Obama – no matter what the Supreme Court decided.
Hundreds of Victims Endorse SAFE California Act to Replace Death Penalty
Victims with personal experience with California’s death penalty ask voters to support initiative to replace it with life in prison without possibility of parole with work and restitution.
LOS ANGELES— More than 400 family members of murder victims have endorsed the SAFE California Act, the initiative that will be on the November ballot to replace the death penalty with life in prison without possibility of parole. At a gathering in Los Angeles, several victims shared their own experiences with California’s death penalty and their reasons for supporting the SAFE California Act.
Bethany Webb’s sister was murdered in the Seal Beach Salon Massacre last October and her mother is the only victim to survive the assault. The prosecution is seeking the death penalty in the case. Ms. Webb said, “I and my family know that the death penalty will subject us to decades of painful court proceedings and cost the state millions. As a victim, I think that money should be used to help victims and bring justice to more families.”
The SAFE California Act will require every person convicted of murder to work in prison and pay restitution to the victims’ compensation fund. It will save the state hundreds of millions of dollars over the next five years and directs $100 million of that savings to local law enforcement to solve more rape and murder cases.
