Obamacare MUST be repealed! It violates our First Amendment rights. The CBO has already adjusted the estimated cost to more than double then this administration has admitted. It will not improve but diminish the quality of care as we know it and it will be rationed. Minorities and seniors will be denied healthcare services. Last but not least, It will double the individual tax base, which conveniently, only go into affect after the elections of November 2012.

? 5. What, if any, changes should be made to federal rules on campaign financing?
