If you take the RFID Microchip they can TRACK your every move, Control your MONEY, Control your FOOD and possible even KILL you if you don’t obey! A number of states like Virginia, have passed “stop the mark of the beast legislation” in an effort to stop this.

Democrats continue to take heavy fire over their apparent refusal to honor eight separate promises  made by then candidate Barack Obama to open health care negotiations in Congress to C-SPAN cameras.   The Democrats’ self-inflicted wounds run deep as two Senate Dems announced they will not seek re-election in November.  Chris Dodd of Connecticut and Byron Dorgan of North Dakota both called it quits yesterday with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.), Blanche Lincoln (D-Ark.) and Michael Bennett (D-Colo.) still seriously trailing Republican challengers.  Even Sens. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) and Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) are having troubles in their determinedly liberal...

(CNSNews.com) – The House health-care reform plan unveiled last week by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) would do more than regulate insurance companies – it would even regulate vending machines. The bill, which is posted online, would require that vending machine operators either create new machines that allow the customer to view nutrition facts or post nutritional information for each product near “each article of food or the selection button.” The regulation could wind up costing vendors millions of dollars to make the changes, according to industry estimates. Section 2572 of the bill (H.R. 3962) says, “In the case of...

Given the Obama Administration’s lack of transparency and honesty, not to mention Congress’ similar failure to act honestly and responsibly, it should be no surprise that America was lied to about abortion coverage in the Health Care Bill. HR 3962 was passed by the House of Representatives after promises spewed from Congressional leaders that the American public would not fund abortions (directly or indirectly) via their tax dollars. A reading of the Bill (available here) exposes blatant misrepresentation of the “compromise” sold to Americans and members of the House.

In the last weeks, two recommendations have come from government sponsored panels that suggest the current standards for mammograms and pap smears, those supported but the American Cancer Society, encourage women to get these screenings too frequently and too early. There has been significant push back from the public and various organizations, but the government is downplaying the recommendations as mere suggestions based upon scientific inquiry. However, if you care about the women in your life and their ability to get these important cancer screenings you need to be very concerned because the Health Care Bill proposes to incorporate these...

Thank you for contacting me to express your views on H.R. 3962, the Affordable Health Care for America Act. I appreciate your taking the time to share your views on this important matter. There is widespread agreement that our health care system needs to be reformed - all of the major Republican and Democratic candidates for President in the 2008 election agreed that serious action needed to be taken immediately. So drawing on expert testimony received during 100 congressional hearings and scrutiny and feedback from the American people at more than 3,000 congressional events and town halls, H.R. 3962 seeks...

President Obama has said it over and over, health care reform was needed reduce the cost of health care and to bring federal spending under control. Not so fast Mr President. Richard Foster, the chief actuary at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid, a division of the Department of the Health and Human Services just released a study predicting overall spending on health care would rise by a total of $298 billion dollars over the next decade as a result of the House health care bill passed last Saturday. Additionally billions of dollars in projected savings contained in the measure...

CNSNews.com) – Virginia’s Governor-elect Bob McDonnell (R) said that his administration would not participate in a government-run health insurance plan, if one is passed by Congress and signed into law. He also urged other governors to “stand up” against federal proposals if they are not good for their states. McDonnell, who won election on Nov. 3 with 59 percent of the vote, said on the Nov. 8 edition of CNN’s “State of the Union” that a government-run public option would be bad for his recently red state. McDonnell also said that during the campaign he heard concerns from Virginia voters...

Rep. Peter Hoekstra (R-Mich.) told CNSNews.com that the health care bill pushed by the Democratic House leadership will “shred the Constitution” and that Democrats have not given Republicans “any time to showcase” their ideas on health care reform. When CNSNews.com asked, “Are you satisfied with what the GOP has proposed thus far to counter the Democrats’ plan on health care?” Hoekstra said, “Well, I mean there’s always arguments that could be made: ‘You’ve got to be out there with a more powerful message’ and those types of things, but you know, we’re out there with a message.” “I think people...

On Saturday night the Democrats narrowly passed a monstrosity of a health-care bill. Some conservatives blamed the National Right to Life Committee. How is that possible? In order to get enough votes to secure final passage, Nancy Pelosi allowed an up-or-down vote on the Stupak amendment to bar federal funding of abortion through the health-care bill. Rep. John Shadegg (R, Ariz.), who made a bid this year to be Republican minority leader, and Americans for Prosperity urged Republicans to defeat the pro-life measure by voting present. They argued that defeating the amendment could bring down the entire bill: “(Nancy) Pelosi...

Health Care Reform: Failure to buy health insurance in the just-passed health care bill could get you five years in jail with a $250,000 fine. How can violating a law that's unconstitutional be a felony? The passage last Saturday night of the House health care measure by a fragile 220-215 margin may well prove to be a Pyrrhic victory. In polls, townhall meetings and tea parties, Americans have shown they don't want a "reform" that costs a staggering $1.2 trillion yet fails to meet the left's desire of insuring all the uninsured. And they certainly don't want a bill that...

In a vote that may be as meaningless as their June 2009 Climate Change 217-205 vote House Democrats have again demonstrated why Democrats should not be in leadership of our nation! However,what this vote does is,it begins Democrats’ Death march to the 2010 and 2012 polls. In a most ignoble deed Democrats struck in the dead of night on a weekend. That seems quite appropriate for Democrat legislation because as the saying goes, most sins are committed in the darkness of night. Political sins are no exception. And of course this particular vote was staged in the dead of night...

An excellent, straightforward, and easy to understand explanation of what we can expect our lives to be like under the new Health Care Reform plan H.R.3962.

The House passage of healthcare legislation means different things to different folks. For President Barack Obama it was a “courageous vote” by members of Congress. Obama went to Capitol Hill Saturday to personally press for passage. Today he was full of praise. “Given the heated and often misleading rhetoric surrounding this legislation, I know that this was a courageous vote for many members of Congress,” Obama said in the Rose Garden. For Sarah Palin the healthcare bill was a mess. “We’ve got to hold on to hope, and we’ve got to fight hard because Congressional action tonight just put America...

While normal everyday oblivious Americans were preparing their beds to sleep Saturday night their elected officials quietly passed H.R. 3962, the Affordable Health Care for America Act. Indeed, the passage of this act deals one of the final death blows to the Constitution and with it our liberties. As I ponder upon this momentously horrid occurrence it is as if I have just woken up from a nightmare and been thrown directly into the plot of George Orwell’s 1984, with no hope of escape. As this thought grabs hold I am lead to ponder more and more about America and...

The Democrats $283 Million Dollar Bribe Hidden in the Healthcare Bill Video explains why the dems stuffed a veterinarian loan forgiveness into the Healthcare bill

Late this evening, the House passed the Affordable Health Care for America Act, H.R. 3962, by a vote of 220 to 215. While this is a historic step toward improving health care for all Americans, it is also a tremendous advance for the health needs of LGBT people. HRC lobbied the three committees involved in drafting the bill to include provisions that would help LGBT people in particular obtain the improved access to health care that the Act is designed to provide. Some of these measures have been part of HRC’s legislative agenda as free-standing bills for many years. The...

Nancy Pelosi managed to gather enough votes to pass the almost 2000 page House health care reform bill (H.R.3962) by allowing the Stupak Amendment. Many blue dog Democrats would not vote for Pelosicare because because it covered abortion with health care reform funds. According to the New York Times: To save the health care bill she (Pelosi) had to give in to abortion opponents in her party and allow them to propose tight restrictions barring any insurance plan that is purchased with government subsidies from covering abortions. How tight are these restrictions? Here is a screen shot from a pdf...

When did we as a society decide that compassion and benevolence are only possible through government mandates? Maybe it comes down to the Philosophy 101 question "are people inherently good or evil?". I and many conservatives tend to be optimists, but Pelosi knows you are inherently evil. One thing I can guarantee to you is that government is inherently wasteful. Here's an idea: take that $1-2 trillion that was going to be used on Obamacare and give it back to the people! Incentivize charitable donations, reward people with tax breaks for helping the less fortunate, make charity more affordable for...

The nonpartisan Joint Committee on Taxation reported that the House version of the healthcare bill specifies that those who don’t buy health insurance and do not pay the fine of about 2.5 percent of their income for failing to do so can face a penalty of up to five years in prison! The bill describes the penalties as follows: • Section 7203 — misdemeanor willful failure to pay is punishable by a fine of up to $25,000 and/or imprisonment of up to one year. • Section 7201 — felony willful evasion is punishable by a fine of up to $250,000...
