"Don't you know, they're talking about a revolution..."

This Sunday Congress is going to vote on the health care reform bill proposed by Obama in December. While each party continues to waver and discern what is in the best interest of their constituents, Obama and the Democrats are doing everything they can to ensure the passage of such a monumental program.
It is hard to say what the correct path to take is. Popular opinion across the country is almost a 50/50 split and, depending on the day, either side takes the lead. In an (unprecedented) effort to remain neutral, I'd like to encourage you to pray for our politicians. Despite their role as representative and advocate of their constituents, it is easy to cast that aside for personal interest.
In a post I wrote right after the State of the Union address, I discussed how Obama was shifting political interest from big government to the individual and I think it is just this mentality that needs to be at the forefront of our leaders' agendas this weekend.
So however the chips may fall, may it be because our political leaders had our best interest at heart.
