-I support the Bentivolio Amendment (H.J.Res. 27) to prohibit the federal government from using the power of taxation to compel someone to engage in commercial activity; and
-I encourage my Congressman to support the Bentivolio Amendment; and
-I ask for the House of Representatives, without further delay, to take up H.J.Res 27 for a vote;
Amendment text: The Congress shall not have the power to lay and collect taxes in order to compel any person or persons to engage in commercial activity, nor shall Congress have the power to lay and collect taxes from any person or persons for a failure to engage in any form of commercial activity.
Reaching this point has been a long and draining road. Seeing this level of support reminds me why we started this fight against mandated commerce even when it felt like we were shouting into the void.

This whole thing is just a hidden tax hike on the middle class and everyone knows it. Stop giving them more power.

Taxes are for roads and defense not for forcing people to buy stuff they dont want. Pass this now.
