The Democrats believe that they can rewrite the Constitution. They believe in the power of government, not the power of the people. They believe that a better America goes through more and more and more government. And it's clear they do not believe in the American people. Americans have spoken loud and clear. We are saying ``no'' to more government control of our lives. We are saying ``no'' to higher taxes and deficits. We are saying ``no'' to this takeover of health care. The American people want Washington to get its irresponsible hands out of their pockets and stop their unconstitutional power grab. The American people deserve to be respected. They deserve to be listened to. They deserve freedom, they deserve security, and they deserve prosperity. The Democrats need to stop and listen to the American people. And hear me now. You may win this vote today through arm-twisting tricks and backroom deals, but let's see who's still here after the American people speak loud and clear in November.
