While many were sitting back and relaxing, following a hectic day of first day of school activities, members of the Hopkins County Republican Party were meeting en mass at the Professional Ag Workers Building in Buford Park. U.S. Congressman Ralph Hall (R-Rockwall) was the featured speaker at Monday night's county meeting and delivered a number of items that local citizens should be aware of, from his Washington perspective.

The "standing room only" crowd of about 150 local citizens heard Hall discuss many of the issues facing Congress when they reconvene in September. Hall received praise from the audience when he delivered a number of features he planned to vote "no" on, in the proposed Obama Healthcare Plan. Hall cited a number of little known facts in the bill, that he read verbatim from the text of the massive document, including "marriage and family therapy" and "End of Life Orders" that could be controlled by the government, under the plan.

Hall also received praise for his tough stand on Global Warming issues, when he declared that he felt that "God controlled global warming and that government needed to stay out of the issue!"

 

 

At 86 years old, Hall thanked his constituents for keeping him in Washington to "police" the issues and pledged to continue to serve as the "watchdog" for this district's best interests. "As a member of the Republican minority in Washington, our hands are tied on many issues," expressed Hall. "I feel that President Obama thinks that his Healthcare Plan will work, but he hasn't considered the consequences of what it will be like, when implemented out in the country. I feel this bill is worth fighting against and hopefully we can get it defeated before Christmas!"

For those interested in further information about government controlled healthcare, the public is invited to a forum at the Hopkins County Regional Civic Center, on Friday, August 28th, at 6:30 p.m., when two doctors will be voicing their ideas about healthcare in a government run system.
