The health-care reform bill expected to win passage in the U.S. Senate is an
attack on “liberty” in America, said Mike Huckabee, a former Republican
presidential candidate from Arkansas.
Huckabee was the star of the show at an Omaha, Nebraska rally held Sunday against
President Obama's health care initiative. He opposes the mandate in the bill
that will require all Americans to have insurance.
Huckabee said in an interview prior to the rally that the bill requires
Americans to “put their liberty in the hands of government.”
About 1,800 people packed the lower level of the Omaha Music Hall for the
rally. Many of them said they came to show their disappointment with Nebraska
Sen. Ben Nelson, who is providing Obama the crucial 60th vote to get the bill
passed.
They booed heartily whenever Nelson's name was mentioned.
George Skidmore said he voted for Nelson in the last election, but never
again.
(The people here in Nebraska are speaking up. Nelson deciding to back Obamacare may be the end of his political career. Read more on this issue Huckabee leads rally to try to change
Nelson's mind.)
