On January 12, the House of Representatives will vote to repeal the unprecedented centralization of power, massive increase in spending, and disquieting affront to liberty known as Obamacare.

Deaf to the American people's wishes, and speaking mostly in a uniform voice, the chorus of mainstream media insists on calling this a "symbolic" vote. But when the most representative chamber of the United States Congress reflects the desires of the vast majority of Americans and passes formal legislation to do something – or to undo something – such action is the opposite of symbolic.  In fact, nothing could be much more substantive.

If the Democratically controlled Senate continues to turn a deaf ear to the citizenry and refuses to advance the House's legislation, or if the Senate finally listens and advances it to the president, who vetoes it, then that too will be substantive -- and the American people will have a clear choice in 2012.   

Here is the entire text of the legislation on which the House will vote -- it's a fair amount shorter, simpler, and saner than the 2,700-page monstrosity at which it takes aim (in fact, it contains less than one word for every ten pages of Obamacare):
