December 13, 2010

Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli won a major victory today when a federal judge in Richmond ruled ObamaCare's individual mandate unconstitutional.

Of course, this battle over the anti-gun national heath care law -- which could allow the government to disarm many gun owners based on medical records -- is not over. Twenty other states, led by Florida, also have legal challenges to ObamaCare, and this issue is guaranteed to go to the U.S. Supreme Court.

Certainly, the decision in Richmond is good news for the Constitution and good news for all Americans.

Attorney General Cuccinelli also recently backed GOA's effort to get the Congress to read the U.S. Constitution at the start of the new session in January. We could hope that had the 111th Congress read the Constitution, there would have been no ObamaCare.

If you have not already signed the petition, please do so at http://readtheusconstitution.org (and encourage others to so as well). Below is the text of a letter that Ken Cuccinelli released last week:

-----------------------

Dear Friend of Liberty,

My friends at Gun Owners of America (GOA) have a great idea to begin the 112th Congress: Read the Constitution!

Not just read it privately, but have it read out loud on the floor of the U.S. House and Senate.

In January, all Members of Congress will swear an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States. Yet every day in Washington, that document is ignored by those same people.

Ours was intended to be a government of limited, enumerated powers. But by disregarding the law of this land, Congress is reaching into the every aspect of American life. This must stop, and the first step is to remind the politicians about that document that they swore to defend.

It is time to restore constitutional fidelity, and to put the federal government back under the restraints laid out for it by the Founding Fathers.

I hope you will join with GOA and hundreds of thousands of like-minded Americans and sign the petition urging the Congress to read the Constitution in January, before it takes up even one piece of legislation.

You can read and sign the petition at www.readtheusconstitution.org.

Sincerely,

Ken Cuccinelli, II

Attorney General of Virginia
