THIS IS THE 2ND OFFICIAL WHO HAS OUTLINED THESE PARTS OF THE health CARE BILL pages 58 & 59 |
As Pelosi and Obama attempt to override our Constitution, we can let them know that's not okay. It seems they feel their word is the final word, and like it or not, they will do whatever it takes to make you their serf.
We fought to rid this country of dictatorial rule at the sacrifice of millions and millions of precious lives. It's Taxation Without Representation all over again.
SHAME ON PELOSI'S "DEEM and PASS" TRICKERY

On his radio and television shows, Beck suggested any church promoting "social justice" or "economic justice" merely was using code words for Nazism and communism.
"I beg you look for the words social justice or economic justice on your church Web site," he said. "If you find it, run as fast as you can. Social justice and economic justice, they are code words. ... Am I advising people to leave their church? Yes! If they're going to Jeremiah Wright's church, yes! "If you have a priest that is pushing social justice, go find anotherparish," he said. "Go alert your bishop and tell them, 'Excuse me, are you down with this whole social justice thing?' If it's my church, I'm alerting the church authorities: 'Excuse me, what's this social justice thing?' And if they say, 'Yeah, we're all in on this social justice thing,' I am in the wrong place."
This is a short piece and a prayer from the brilliant Phyllis Schlafly of Eagle Forum that I wanted to share with you. At this time when Congress is attempting to destroy our foundation and despair creeps in, time to take a break, count our blessings and get a grip on the knowledge that we have come from dark days like this before.
God bless all you Patriots, and God bless America.
A VERY SPECIAL CALL TO PRAYER FROM PHYLLIS SCHLAFLY
We knew that we had the truth on our side

Recent experiences from an old-fashioned town meeting can restore faith in government, people, and our system.

I guess after many years of working and paying taxes, I will end up in jail, since I will neither be forced to buy Obomacare nor pay a fine. If this actully is passed I hope many elect to defy this government we now find in power!

I don't know about you, but I don't want "Universal Healthcare" comparable to England or Canada . Moreover, it was Sen. Harry Reid who said, "Elderly Americans must learn to accept the inconveniences of old age."
SHIP HIS ASS TO CANADA OR ENGLAND !
He is "elderly" himself but be sure to remember his health insurance is different from yours as Congress has their own high-end coverage! He will never have to learn to accept "inconveniences"!!!

Yep! That's right! Only Eight Percent!!!..the least by far of the last 19 presidents!! And these people are trying to tell our big corporations how to run their business? They know what's best for GM...Chrysler... Wall Street... and you and me? How can the president of a major nation and society...the one with the most successful economic system in world history... stand and talk about business when he's never worked for one?.. or about jobs when he has never really had one??! And neither has 92% of his senior staff and closest advisers.! They've spent most of their time in academia, government and/or non-profit jobs....or as "community organizers" when they should have been in an employment line.
Why are we a center right country? Possibly because after decades and decades of liberal intervention, the American people know what they have to do to survive -- keep them out of power. But, every so often the Libs need to be in power to remind us of their tyrannical rule. The problem is that they have done it so many times, government takeovers have grown by leaps and bounds. Just look at what's happened over the past 14 months with long standing banks, long standing car companies, insurance companies, education, and healthcare.
AMERICA LOVES CONSERVATISM
America hates patronizing dimwits who would spend their money and push them around... http://tinyurl.com/yfmba7h
As Americans watch the shenanigans of Democrats, the shock and awe of the latest cheap maneuver may be the straw that breaks the camel's back. Imagine the horror of the Founding Fathers if they witnessed a Speaker of the House tell the American people she will "deem" a bill to have passed, because she can't get the votes. Hearing the outrage across the wires, it is mind boggling more people have not protested. Where is the press on this? The Constitution Be Damned, as Red State wrote. With the no votes piling up, tyranny is right at our doorstep.
OBAMACARE AT ANY COST

If you agree contact the leaders of the Tea party voice your opionon
My plan to kill this bill and rattle the cages of the politicians...
Now I don't mean we should stand right in the middle of the street or roads but along side..
On the side walks... As law abiding citizens...
If we can on short notice, show these gangsters that we can mobilize they will know we can also get out the vote come November..
Here is what I am thinking...
If we can coordinate with every local leader and every affiliated group such as AsAMom Liberty Alliance.. Tea Party and 912 for action.. etc.
On Wed. ( or Pick a day ) we have hundreds of thousands of our members across the nation stand at intersections - on over passes and bridges, suburbs and down town cities. Exactly at 5 PM to 7 Pm during rush hour we have them hold up signs all saying the same thing..
If you Vote we Revolt.. and honk if you agree..
This is my feeling.. We will cause wide spread participation by the ordinary citizen by honking.. It could cause slow traffic of traffic jams and most important it will show everyone we are a force acting in Unison all over this nation...
We can vote as one and act as one...
This can be done by leaders calling their members and each other helping to make the signs... Our people will not have to take a full day off work many can simply stop when they see others and pull their signs form the car if they are just coming out of work..
No one will have to travel to far from home... And they will all be with friends and family they know...
This would have to be coordinated nation wide by e-mail blitz and phone calls..
But it can be done before they vote...
Please let me know what you think,, Many I talked to thought it would be a real clear message.. A nation acting in Unison...
Dan - Vote out corruption
"THERE WILL NOT BE A COST OF LIVING INCREASE FOR THE NEXT TWO YEARS IN SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFITS. ADDITIONALLY THEY WILL RAISE YOUR CO-PAY FOR YOUR RX MEDICARE BENEFITS " !
They, the Congress (BOTH "REPUBLICAN AND DEMOCRATS TOGETHER") say no increase is warranted because of the losses in gross national product and other cute things..
NOW SPORTS FANS THIS IS THE ONE THAT WILL FLIP YOU OUT!!
THE SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION IS FUNDING TWENTY FOUR MILLION DOLLARS -- FOR NEW ELECTRONIC MEDICAL RECORDS PROCESSING FOR OUR CONGRESSMEN AND SENATORS !!
THEY ARE OBTAINING THESE FUNDS And I QUOTE DIRECTLY FROM THE SOCIAL SECURITY WEBSITE...
"THIS MONEY WILL BE COMING FROM THE SAVINGS TO BE GENERATED FROM WITHHOLDING "COST OF LIVING INCREASES FOR 2010 & 2011 In SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFITS FOR THE ELDERLY AND A $2.00 INCREASE ON ALL MEDICARE RX BENEFIT CO-PAY"
This is probably on our minds this weekend, so wanted to share a list of the 64 Congressmen (minus Murtha) who voted for the Stupak Amendment, the 30 potential Swing Votes, and the ONE Republican vote.
What's being done by these radicals is worse than unconstitutional. If they get away with "deeming" a bill passed, where does it stop? Deeming Cap & Trade, deeming Illegal Amnesty, deeming youth camps, deeming the next president, deeming him King? God help us:

Traditional Values Coalition
March 12, 2010 – While most Americans are focused on defeating Obama’s plan to nationalize our health care system, the President has been quietly working behind the scenes to engineer another federal takeover.
This time, he’s targeting America’s waterways for seizure by the federal government.
First it was our financial institutions, then it was General Motors. Currently he’s working for complete control of our health care system. Now, he wants control over our water.
Under Obama’s federal seizure plan, he would set up nine regional bureaucracies to “decrease user conflicts, improve planning and regulatory efficiencies and decrease their associated costs and delays; and preserve critical ecosystem function and services.”
This is code for having federal bureaucrats determining who can fish in our oceans, coastal areas, lakes and rivers.
Obama’s Ocean Policy Task Force is overseeing the federal takeover and the selective banning of fishing. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is involved in this takeover as well. NOAA is headed by Obamunist Janet Lubchenco, who has ties to radical environmentalist groups. Lubchenco was a trustee of the Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) and served on the Pew Oceans Commission.
Shortly before Obama was elected, a coalition of environmental groups issued a report called “Transition To Green” to push the Obama Administration toward radical environmental policies. According to ESPN, Obama’s task force has followed lockstep in implementing this document.
Recreational fishermen are outraged by what they see as the destruction of a major industry in the U.S. More than a million jobs in America are linked to recreational fishing. Obama’s task force could kill this industry if it begins regulating who can or cannot fish on our nation’s waterways.
“Transition To Green” is a blueprint for the complete takeover of environmental policies by radical greens. The document recommends that Obama enforce green policies largely through the use of Executive Orders, which avoid Congressional oversight.
While the recommendations sound okay on the surface, there is a sinister side to this that will result in a socialist state.
If all of the recommendations in “Transition To Green” are implemented by Obama during the next few years, our nation will be transformed into a European socialist state with a stagnant economy and few freedoms left.
The Southern Poverty Law Center is a tax-exempt charity, (501) C (3), and they continue to violate the IRS code that states charities can not engage politically in a way that decreases the electability of certain candidates. Their Spring 2010 Intelligence Report (http://www.splcenter.org/get-informed/intelligence-report/browse-all-issues/2010/spring/active-patriot-groups-in-the-united-s) lists who they think are bad political parties and political groups..basically a lot of patriotic groups, and would have a negative impact on candidates affiliated with those groups. We patriots should complain to our representative and the IRS that the SPLC is violating the tax code and should have their tax-exempt status removed. Then we should boycott their list of donors (listed below) who got to take a nice, big tax deduction for their donation to a group that attacks our patriotism. Then we can tell their donors we are going to boycott them. This is a direct way we can have an impact and END THE TAX EXEMPT STATUS OF THE SPLC!
According to DiscoverTheNetworks.org "between 2001 and 2004, SPLC was the recipient of 59 foundation grants totaling $3,326,425. The donors included: the Arcus Foundation; the Baltimore Community Foundation; the Cisco Systems Foundation; the Cleveland Foundation, the Naomi and Nehemiah Cohen Foundation; the Columbus Foundation and Affiliated Organizations; the Community Foundation for Southeastern Michigan; the Community Foundation for the National Capital Region; Community Foundation (Silicon Valley); the Cushman Family Foundation; the Dibner Fund; the Joseph and Bessie Feinberg Foundation; the Ford Foundation; the Edward and Verna Gerbic Family Foundation; the Jackson and Irene Golden 1989 Charitable Trust; the Lisa and Douglas Goldman Fund; the Grove Foundation; the J.M. Kaplan Fund; the J.P Morgan Chase Foundation; the Kaplen Foundation; the Open Society Institute; the Albert Parvin Foundation; the Picower Foundation; the Jay Pritzker Foundation; the Louis and Harold Price Foundation; the Public Welfare Foundation; the Raine and Stanley Silverstein Family Foundation; the Spiegel Foundation; the State Street Foundation; the Steinberg Charitable Trust; and the Vanguard Public Foundation."

Steve,
I have no illusions that healthcare will ever get fixed but it does not mean that I won’t put up a fight. Politics, money or both seem to always get in the way. Politicians will never make the hard choices that need to be made.
Our country was founded as a representative republic, not a democracy, and it was the most successful nation that ever existed in history. Today we are a socialist democracy slipping fast into a socialistic fascist form of government with less and less freedoms every day. The country has been drifting into a socialist society over the last 100 years and history tells me that it will never ever get back to where it was without a total collapse of the economy. This has always happened to all true democratic forms of government. Not one has ever been successful on the long term because of self-serving greed. They always destroy themselves, from within, in about 200 years and I feel we are no exception.
People do not learn from history. We are no longer a free enterprise based country and have slowly subjected ourselves to more and more government interference and control. This only drives up the cost of everything, as government produces nothing and is a leach upon the producers of society. That is why the founders formed a government with very few powers and minimum intrusion. Most of these limitations of power in the constitution have been ignored over the last 100 years.
The more that is delegated to the government the less freedom and wealth the citizens will have. I have clearly seen this reduction of freedoms and wealth in my lifetime. When I was growing up, in the average household, one parent worked and the other took care of the home front. Today it takes two people working one or more jobs to pay the bills while the standard of living is declining. It is much harder for my children to make a living than it was for me when I was young. This happened because our government at all levels was taking more and more money from the producers of society and giving it to someone else. This is the same story over and over in history.
We now are in very big trouble with the debt and other obligations our congress have put on us. Our country is financially insolvent due to greed, past spending practices and un-funded social programs and we just can’t afford healthcare for everyone. This is just the cold hard fact. Government has never been efficient at anything and more of it will just make things worse. Government is the problem not the solution and interference with the citizens at all levels plus the lawyers have driven up healthcare cost to the extent it is unsustainable. My doctor told me that he has to have two employees just to take care of paperwork for the work he does and that is just a start. He loses money on every Medicare or Medicaid patient plus others he sees and has to shift those costs to those that have better insurance coverage. He told me on my last visit that he would quit his practice if this health care bill gets passed and he is in his 40’s.
The whole system is rigged to shift costs from those that can pay to those that can’t. This is the main reason medicine and health insurance costs so much. As to your references to price controls, just remember the gas lines of the 70’s. They were caused by Carters price controls. It would be the same for medicine if implemented. Just like communism, it sounds good in theory but has never ever worked and always ends with disaster for the people. If we had a real competitive free market we would not have these high costs. The cost shifting has to stop or we will never get this fixed.
I believe we will have a total financial collapse in the near future if very unpleasant real changes are not made quickly. This is what I would do to turn around the country and health care:
1. Ban the Federal government from all health related programs including Medicare and Medicaid and relegate them back to the states. These programs would have to have modifications to eligible retirement age with reduced benefits.
2. Require all insurance companies be able to do business in any state under uniform laws. This would require modification of state laws to make uniform laws in all states. By the way, the current profit margin for the health insurance industry is less than 5%. Way less than other businesses and no government could operate on that slim margin.
3. Require all insurance companies that write health insurance to insure anyone that applied and not be able to drop those that got sick with the same uniform rates for everyone. Anyone that does not have insurance and needs medical care would be financially responsible for the bill with no government backup other than bankruptcy. This would economically force most people to buy insurance thus reducing policy costs.
4. Pass true tort reform like Mississippi or Texas that applies to all states to eliminate frivolous lawsuits.
5. Make health savings accounts available to everyone though state payroll withholding.
Again, I have no delusions that these things will ever be done but I do know some day we will look back and wish we did.
