Digital News Report – Ray Stevens used to write lighter comedic songs in the 70’s, but he got a bit more serious with a song that her wrote called “ We the People” which is in protest to Obama’s overhaul of the health care system.
Stevens put together a Youtube video that has been viewed 1.6 million times and counting. In the song he complains about how politicians have they corporate interests involved in this health care reform and that “we the people” will be voting them out of office for what they have done.
The political group called the Tea Party is a conservative group that has been playing the song at their protests. The Tea Party group is going to have their first ever Tea Party Convention with Sarah Palin being their main speaker. The convention will be held in Nashville from February 4 – 6.

I love this funny and creative song. Way to go Ray Stevens. I agree completely. Regarding Sarah Palin, I like her a lot, however I was disappointed she didn’t complete her office of Governor. I really think she needs more experience. She would make a great Senator or Representative. I’am worried the good people of America are looking to someone to be the Savior of the country. We as Americans really need to find a very intelligent, experienced person to run for President. Someone who has the highest morals and integrity. Someone who has the same moral fiber as our founding fathers like George Washington. Then maybe we will have the kind of leadership to pull us through these rough times.
what a dumb song. 99.9% of Republicans are against this health care reform simply because Obama is President, and sore losers,. The same paranoid Republicans cant even tell me why they are against it…just meaningless catch phrases with no substance…what a bunch of sheep, its ironic they have no clue of being manipulated by Big Business with nobodies interest in consideration except the shareholders. Love Live Wall Street.
I have always liked Ray Stevens and he does a terrific job on this song. And who cares if Palin resigned as governor? Lots of governors resign because of a changing situation or because they are offered a better job. And Palin has plenty of experience, she is much more experienced and qualified than Obama was when for some unknowable reason liberals decided to elect an inexperienced, totally unqualified, druggy and street agitator to the presidency. I still can hardly believe that they did such a foolish thing.
Way to go Ray!! We need to fire all of congress and the Senate and start over with people who are for the people and not for the government. Our politicians no longer look to whats good for the country but what is good for their pockets and to shaft the people who voted them in to start with. They have given money to those who screw us the worst with their high interest rates and won’t help the average Joe except for digging him a deeper hole to get out of. They are selling our country to China little by little. Its time for us to take America back by voting congress and the Senate out of there!!!
I to agree with every word of this song. I am very seriously considering running for President in 2012. I am a staunch Reagan Conservative. I am 59 years old with a Masters in political science after 21 years at the Limbough Institute of advanced Conservative Studies. I am going to be in touch with the Tea Party movement working on getting conservatives elected in 2010.I am currently working on getting together with Glenn Beck to get some ground work layed out.
I will be in touch. Thank You.

As an elderly American, Ray Stevens wouldn’t Medicare or Medicaid by any chance, would he?
If you had a lameduck employee that was not effective, because of reasons self imposed or beyond their control, would you think they were a quitter if they quit? They would probably be fired. Why is it different in politics? A senator that is a 10% senator because he is running for president would not be a quitter if he quit, to me he is a slacker if he dosen’t. If he can’t be the senator he was hired to be he should be fired.
THIS IS A GREAT WAY TO TELL THE PEOPLE THE TRUTH.I PRAY THAT WE CAN GET THIS ON THE TV AND RADIO. MAY GOD BLESS YOU, RAY AND ALL OF FOX NEWS, BUT MOST OF ALL I PRAY FOR GOD TO BLESS THIS GREAT COUNTRY OF OURS.
I love this song.It explains this health-care take over, or health-care disaster perfectly.The only thing wrong is, it`s not 2,000 pages long and the people in this adminestration is going to have trouble understanding it. If they would make this health-care bill as simple, and to-the-point, as this song is, all americans would understand it and even more wouldn`t want it.
This administration knows this and that`s the reason they`er trying to jam it down our throats so fast.
I cannot believe the comments from Dr. Homeskooled Jan 9th, 2010 at 4:27 am
I’m a die in the wool GOP – but my opposition to the bill is the price – the loss of health care that I am going to get – loss of my Medicare after paying for it for the past 50+ years and most of all Democrates voting for this do not know exactly what is in the plan..why in the world should they approve a large tax increase on somehting they have not had the time to read .
To the idiot who said…”its ironic they have no clue of being manipulated by Big Business with nobodies interest in consideration except the shareholders”…I think you are the one who needs to get a clue! If you think health care is bad now, wait until the Obama health care bill is implemented. We will a nation of limited choices (sounds awesome, huh!) Talk about being manipulated by Big Business…you haven’t seen anything, yet. The Obama administration is nothing but Big Business…forcing our employers to pay through the nose to keep our benefits. Our nation is in for a rude awakening.
