The Supreme Court has finally struck down the individual mandate and confirmed that the federal government cannot force us to buy a product against our will.

On Tuesday, March 23, 2010, President Obama signed into law a healthcare bill of historic proportions. That bill includes an individual mandate on Americans that declares that they must buy health insurance or face penalties. This overreaches the authority of Congress under the Commerce Clause and is therefore unconstitutional.
Buying health insurance can be said to be an act in commerce. However, if someone doesn’t buy insurance, they are by definition not engaging in commerce. This legislation greatly oversteps the Commerce Clause.
Please join in Virginia’s fight to overturn the individual mandate on health insurance. I ask that you indicate your support by signing the petition below. Please also forward this to your friends.
Sincerely,
Ken Cuccinelli
Attorney General of Virginia
Petition in Support of Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli’s Suit to Overturn the Health Care Individual Mandate
WHEREAS, the health care bill recently passed by Congress and signed into law by President Obama includes a mandate requiring Americans to purchase health care insurance, and
WHEREAS, federal officials claim that the Commerce Clause of the United States Constitution gives the federal government the authority to force citizens to purchase health care insurance, and
WHEREAS, by definition, a person who refuses to purchase is NOT engaging in interstate commerce, and
WHEREAS, a citizen who is not engaging in commerce may not be compelled to engage in commerce by the federal government, and
WHEREAS, the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that Congress may not regulate non-commercial activities using the commerce clause, and
WHEREAS, the General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Virginia has passed a law protecting Virginia’s citizens from this unconstitutional mandate,
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the undersigned citizens of the United States support the lawsuit brought by the Commonwealth of Virginia to declare the health care individual mandate unconstitutional.

We just hit 10,000 signatures and I am energized by this massive show of defiance against a government that thinks it can force our hand. Washington needs to understand that we will not sit idly by while they stomp on the Constitution to feed their bureaucratic machine.

We just hit our first hundred signatures and the federal government is already looking nervous. This is only the beginning of a long fight against Washington bureaucrats who think they can force us into their mandates.

Please hurry, Obamacare is denying me the life saving treatment I need. We are struggling financially and fear going bankrupt.
THIS IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL! STOP OBAMACARE NOW.
Keep fighting Ken. We are tired of congress overstepping every single boundary.
My premiums have already doubled because of this mess. We cant afford anymore taxes and mandates.
The government has no right to tell me what to buy. Stay out of our private lives.
