From the Pledge to America:
An arrogant and out-of-touch government of self-appointed elites makes decisions, issues mandates, and enacts laws without accepting or requesting the input of the many.
Rising joblessness, crushing debt, and a polarizing political environment are fraying the bonds among our people and blurring our sense of national purpose.
Like free peoples of the past, our citizens refuse to accommodate a government that believes it can replace the will of the people with its own. The American people are speaking out, demanding that we realign our country’s compass with its founding principles and apply those principles to solve our common problems for the common good.
So, they are pledging to enact these things. They have a short time. They will be watched.
I've read the Pledge. (Well, at least major portions of it.) Have you?
I see a whole bunch of grandiose claims and broad political spin. (Like the portion you just quoted), but very few actual, measurable, proposals.
Just to pick out the one that stands out in my mind, how do you feel about their pledge to use the power of the federal government to override the state's existing authority to regulate health insurance, and to replace it with a system where the states will compete against each other to see which state can write the laws which most favor the insurance industry, and those laws will then apply to the entire country?
And their pledge to pass legislation stating that if these company's decisions harm or kill you, that they are immune from being harmed in any meaningful way?
