STATEMENT FROM RNC CHAIRMAN MICHAEL STEELE ON THE PRESIDENT'S SIGNING OF
HEALTH CARE LEGISLATION 
 
WASHINGTON - The Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Michael Steele
released the following statement today:
 
"We've heard a lot today about how historic this bill is, and it's true. It
is an historic betrayal of the clear will of the American people.  It is an
historic loss of liberty.  It is an historic escalation of publicly funded
abortions, no matter what executive order President Obama signs.  This bill
inserts Big Government right into the most personal, life-and-death moments
a family can face.  It will cause millions of employers to drop health
benefits for their workers, hire over 16,000 IRS agents to enforce the
government's health care mandates, require small businesses and medical
innovators to pay higher taxes and saddles our country with debt we can't
afford.
 
"President Obama wants an America that looks like Europe, and all he needed
to make it happen was 219 willing or at least bought-off Democrat
accomplices.  It's not too late to repeal this bill, but to do that we need
a change in management at the U.S. Capitol.  The American people are fired
up and ready to storm the polls and reclaim our Congress from the party of
the Cornhusker Kickback and the Louisiana Purchase.  It's time to fire Nancy
Pelosi once and for all and send Democrats an undeniable message:  We will
not surrender our liberties.  We will not hand our children a poorer, weaker
America than the one we inherited. Come November the American people will
have the last say."
