We have a few senators doing the heavy lifting for us, led by Senator Ted Cruz, to determine whether or not we lose more of our LIBERTY.
Probably lots of us have already called, e-mailed, tweeted and so forth, but we can do it again!
After calling if you'd be kind enough to report back what the various staffers had to say, it would be revealing!
If you click on the link it takes you to page with all Senate numbers.
ACTION!!!!
Obama/crats are attempting to tax, gather data, and otherwise collapse what remains of the private healthcare delivery system. Obamacare is not about healthcare or even insurance coverage, it is about centrally controlling from DC every aspect of your life.
Your doctor will be their informant on how you live, work and eat while their IRS agents will monitor every financial aspect of your life in the guise of keeping you healthy. There will not be one part of your life they will not only know but control through the Unaffordable Healthcare Act. This is a dream come true for the central planners who run the Communist....er, I mean....…Democrat Party and the worst nightmare for your average American.
============================================================
How to middle finger the O/Crats: We know the O/Care ship is listing---ready to heave--- maybe do a Costa Concordia into the Potomac.
THE BAD NEWS KEEPS COMING Reuters reports the US government on Wednesday scaled back its projections for Obamacare's impact in 2014, saying the law would generate slower healthcare spending growth and provide coverage to only half as many of America's uninsured as anticipated last year.
The biggest factor in the change stems from the U.S. Supreme Court verdict last year allowing each state to decide whether to expand the public Medicaid program for the poor under Obama's healthcare reform law. Republican leaders in nearly half of the nation's 50 states have rejected the expansion.
HHS now expects 11 million uninsured Americans to obtain coverage next year, down from about 22 million projected a year ago, according to the report, which appeared in the journal Health Affairs. (Excerpt) Read more at reuters.com ...
=====================================================
There's also lawsuits and state problems.
HERE'S HOW THEY'RE STOPPING OBAMACARE A West Virginia nonprofit has turned down a federal grant it received to help residents navigate new health insurance options under the Affordable Care Act after it received an inquiry from Attorney General Patrick Morrisey about how it would protect consumer information. Clarksburg-based West Virginia Parent Training Inc. did not respond to a letter it received from Morrisey directing it to answer 26 questions about the group's personnel and hiring practices, including employee background checks and employee monitoring programs, the Sunday Gazette-Mail (http://bit.ly/17M1QVe) reported. (Excerpt) Read more at sanluisobispo.com ...
YOUR TURN--Contact your state AG---ask him/her to issue a letter of inquiry to groups receiving federal "Navigator" grants. The inquiry should center on questions WRT how the group intends to protect consumer data.
In particular, the questionnaire should ask if the tax-funded "Navigator" program intends to transfer personal/ financial/medical data of the insured to the local/county/national Democrat Party, relevant Unions, banks, investment companies, drug companies, insurance companies. Trial Lawyers' associations and whether "Navigators" have sub rosa contracts with these, and other groups, plan to profit, to provide significant info to enrich databases for pecuniary purposes.
The AG also needs to confirm (1) whether the "navigator" was ever convicted of a felony....... and....(2) whether the "navigator" can be bonded.
Most importantly demand that your AG enforce the requirement that "Navigators" must have a state insurance license (consists of a comprehensive test on all aspects of insurance and compels a background check).

PLANNED PARENTHOOD WILL HAVE ACCESS TO SS#, TAX, MEDICAL INFORMATION
Breitbart Big Government ^ | 8/23/2013 | William Bigelow / FR Posted by markomalley
EXCERPT Planned Parenthood is about to obtain access to your Social Security number, tax form, bank account, and medical records.
With the advent of ObamaCare, consumers buying health insurance through health care exchanges will be required to speak to “navigators.” “Navigators” are supposed to help consumers find the best coverage and ascertain whether they are eligible for a federal subsidy.
Any “navigator” will have access to the federal data hub, which holds information from the Department of Health and Human Services, the IRS, the Social Security Administration, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the Defense Department, the Office of Personnel Management, the Veterans Health Administration, and the Peace Corps.
Planned Parenthood received $655,000 from the Obama administration to hire navigators. In Iowa, Planned Parenthood of the Heartland received $214,427; in Montana, Intermountain Planned Parenthood, Inc. got $295,604; and in New Hampshire, Planned Parenthood of Northern New England raked in $145,161.
And there is not much scrutiny over who these “navigators” will be; HHS will not require background checks or fingerprinting, and a previous criminal conviction, even if it was for identity theft , will not trigger a rejection. To make matters worse, the administration has cut the new employees’ training from 30 hours to 20 and reduced screening.
===========================================
OKLAHOMA WINS FIRST OCARE BATTLE: Quoting AG Pruitt--- "Obamacare was meant to be so open-ended that it could mean anything. We are seeing thousands of pages of new rules being written, both by HHS and the IRS. The open-ended interpretation of Obamacare enables this.....if the law doesn't contain a particular provision, no problem. They just make it up as they go along."
"Such is the case that involves the OK lawsuit."
“The court rejected the federal government’s argument that Oklahoma lacked standing to challenge the law, allowing us to proceed with this pivotal case,” “We’re optimistic the court will recognize what states have known for months that the IRS disregarded the law by making the large employer mandate effective in Oklahoma or in any of the 33 other states without a state health care exchange.”
REFERENCE Oklahoma challenged implementation of the Affordable Care Act after the IRS finalized a rule that would allow the federal government to punish “large employers,” including local government, with millions of dollars in tax penalties in states without state health care exchanges, which is not allowed under the health care law.
“Congress provided a choice for Oklahoma and other states in implementation of the health care law, and the IRS is attempting to take that away by rule,” General Pruitt said. “The administration miscalculated how many states would support this law, so now they’re using the IRS to push through provisions that Congress did not pass.”
=================================================
PROTECT YOURSELF---Obamacare is easy pickins for identity thieves. Steps to take to minimize risk of identity theft:
1. Contact the IRS Identity Protection Specialized Unit at 1-800-908-4490
2. Order a tax account transcript from the IRS that verifies basic personal data along with details of your tax return filed, which may come in handy if you are checking to see whether someone else filed a fraudulent return on your behalf
The Federal Trade Commission (link at website) also lists several steps you must take if you have been a victim of identity theft.

Thanks. For those from Indiana. Coats office is not answering and the mail box is full. If this changes. Let us know differently
Also talked to RNC They have received numerous reports of people contacting Mc C office only to be greeted by rude staff who hang up on you. Be prepared
Ted Cruz has the numbers in an easy format.
http://tedcruzforsenate.org/tell-your-senators-to-oppose-cloture-on-h-j-res-59/
Call them all, regardless of party. I’m even calling and emailing candidates for office and telling them that their answers will make the difference.
BookMark and BTTT for Freedom
EXCELLENT LIZ! Thanks.
'Nuff said.
Bob Casey’s office is just too busy (spit) ... left a message.
My one Kansas Senator, Pat Roberts stands with Cruz and was there to “spare” him earlier this morning; my other Kansas Senator Jerry Moran is on board against defunding Obamacare and has heard my wrath!
Shutting down Obamacare is the desire of The American people.
Shutting down Military pay is the goal of Obama, Reid and Pelosi.
Obama, Reid and Pelosi are using this battle over shutting down Obamacare to spin it into blame on the Surrender Republicans for shutting down “The Government,” starting with the US Military, as usual.
The litmus test for future membership in THE NEW REPUBLICAN PARTY is lack of fear of being blamed for trying to shutdown Obamacare.
Contact your US Senator today, ESPECIALLY if your Senator is a Democrat.
Ted Cruz and Mike Lee are the only two Republicans in the US Senate who CONSISTENTLY make an effort to actually CONSERVE, in my humble, but usually correct opinion.
Therefore, use those two Senators to compare and contrast the present opponents to Old-Style Republican Cornyn.
My guess is that someone on the TEXAS PING list personally knows a superb future Senate candidate, cut from the same cloth as Cruz and Lee.
Yep, it is a dirty job, but we need to reach out to these future candidates, and ask them to run for Federal office for the good of their children, grandchildren and their descendants.
“What we have here, is failure to communicate.” ( Warden in movie “Cool Hand Luke.”)
We claim to be “Conservatives,” but what are we focused on Conserving?
Where are the men and women that are willing to be candidates to conserve what we want conserved?
The New Republican Party starts when YOU step up and act.
What has each of us done to encourage and recruit men and women to be candidates to conserve what is left of our State or Country?
How have we “failed to communicate?”

Phone numbers, email address,
Do we stand together against the forces of tyranny?
If ever there was a time to do so, it is now.
We will never be stronger than we are now.
Senator John Cornyn is the Republican Minority Whip to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell.
These two men control how y’alls interests are represented in the US Senate.
Both Cornyn and McConnell have pledged to oppose the efforts of Senators Ted Cruz and Mike Lee to defund Obamacare.
To oppose Cornyn and any other Old-Style Republican, please contact them early and often.
Below is the contact information for Senator Cornyn.
BTW, an “Old-Style Republican” is one who always surrenders before a fight, because a better time to fight is always some time in the future, “away from the fog of the controversy.”
Strike a blow for THE NEW REPUBLICAN PARTY !
Contact the Old-Style Republican politicians!

Rubio is my Sen. too. I called to thank him for helping Sen. Cruz. Even though his effort may not immediately help impact Obamacare, I appreciate that Cruz, Rubio, Lee, Paul trying to ‘do something’ vs many other Republicans who sit on their hands. Rubio’s staff was very appreciative of the call.
Tried to call Cruz’ office but message system is ‘full’ so I emailed to thank him.
Bit by bit, this Administration is trying to take away freedoms and it’s time those we elected work to protect the America intended by our Founders!
McCaskill is Obama’s sock puppet.
I will vote for one person and one person only for president.
Ted Cruz.
He is a national hero.
Mike Lee is also great.
Marco Rubio gets no redemption. You got in bed with John McCain, and now you have McAids, and there is no cure for that, Mr. Rubio.
“Feinstein/Boxer.
‘Nuff said.”
I still called and staff recorded I was against.
Called Ron Johnson, Tammy Baldwin and Ron Petri (Congressman) this AM. Their staffs were polite, but non-commital.
