"The Truth.." (Critique, please: TN FReeper will leaflet Obama-bots with this at Town Hall)

[Mrs. Don-o]

Here in Johnson City, TN, our rather good Republican congressman, Dr. Phil Roe, is having a Town Hall (at the Town Hall!) this Monday. I thought it might be an interesting opportunity to try a little experiment in communication.

The text of this hand-out was based on a pro-ObamaCare MoveOn leaflet (pro-ObamaCare link here), and laid out to look a whole lot like it. The main idea is to try to get past the other side's initial defenses, and pull them into reading at least the first few lines before they start muttering, "Uh... what the heck..."

"Dialogue" has turned into a dirty word as well as a lost art. But I still believe in the "Come, let us reason together" approach, and I'm giving it a try here.

Will some of them will take a glance, and then read it and catch on? What do you think?

[Mrs. Don-o]

Here's the event:

Rep. Phil Roe Town Hall
City Hall
601 East Main Street
Johnson City, TN 37601

Monday, Aug 24, 2009, 5:30 - 7:00 PM
Recommended (early) arrival time: 3:30 PM

GREAT JOB! Knock 'em out with the truth.

And the truth about Health Care is that honest, God-fearing, liberty loving Americans cannot read these quote by the Chief Health Care advisor to the President and the Health Care Policy Advisor to the Democratic Congress without recoiling in horror.

"Ultimately, the complete lives system does not create 'classes of Untermenschen whose lives and well being are deemed not worth spending money on,' but rather empowers us to decide fairly whom to save..."

"When implemented, the complete lives system produces a priority curve on which individuals aged between roughly 15 and 40 years get the most substantial chance, whereas the youngest and oldest people get chances that are attenuated"

"Services that promote the continuation of the polity-those that ensure healthy future generations, ensure development of practical reasoning skills, and ensure full and active participation by citizens in public deliberations-are to be socially guaranteed as basic. Conversely, services provided to individuals who are irreversibly prevented from being or becoming participating citizens are not basic and should not be guaranteed."

The slumbering giant is stirring...and he's waking up hopping mad.

Mr. Dono, you keep spreading the word...the more people who discover the facts about the Health Care monstrosity, the lower Obama's numbers will go...and the more who will really start taking a harder look at his other initiatives (stimulus, bail-outs, take overs, Cap & Trade, FOCA, etc.) all of which are equally destructive to America.

[Doogle]

your on the right track....remind them also, that once past,no matter how meek and watered down, that's when the amendments start being tack on last in the night and you wake up with what you though was in the past.

I like it. Something like this might be a good idea for anyone planning to attend Sue Myrick’s meetings. She’s an excellent rep, but there are bound to be some of the Other Side there.

#6 Death Panels for Veterans

“Last year, bureaucrats at the VA’s National Center for Ethics in Health Care advocated a 52-page end-of-life planning document, “Your Life, Your Choices.” It was first published in 1997 and later promoted as the VA’s preferred living will throughout its vast network of hospitals and nursing homes. After the Bush White House took a look at how this document was treating complex health and moral issues, the VA suspended its use. Unfortunately, under President Obama, the VA has now resuscitated “Your Life, Your Choices.”

Who is the primary author of this workbook? Dr. Robert Pearlman, chief of ethics evaluation for the center, a man who in 1996 advocated for physician-assisted suicide in Vacco v. Quill before the U.S. Supreme Court and is known for his support of health-care rationing.“

Excellent info -— oh gosh, I had to leave out such a huge quantity of good stuff just to fit this onto a two-sided 8 1/2 x 11!

Not to lie #1:

It’s not in HR 3200, but it is in the last stimulus package, passed by the Congresscritters , who failed to read the bill... and I’m supposed to trust this group of collective idiots?

[DJ MacWoW]

The "Death Panels" were in the stimulus Bill in teh form of rationed healthcare.

Excellent! and Good Luck at the meeting.

I hope you get some people to think. There is usually a lot of standing in line time before these meetings.

[presently no screen name]

Great job, patriot!

4. Who you gonna trust?

At this point, I'd like to think #4 will be enough to STOP any gov't run health care.

“If we got rid of that care we would have absolutely no reason to even consider rationing except in a few cases”

Somebody please inform him that getting rid of care is rationing.

Have you verified this? ... I was told he was holding the Johnson City event at the Science Hill Center on Pactolas (?) Street. Must call Bountville office in the AM to get this clearled up.

[papasmurf]

Bravo!

[Mrs. Don-o]

Thank you! Yes, I just noticed minutes ago that the MoveOn e-mail alert says "City Hall," but Rep. Roe's website says "Science Hill."

I'll call the Blountville office, but as of now I'm assuming that Roe's right, and that MoveOn had outdated information. The silly left-a-roos... maybe they'll all show up at the wrong place :o)

Monday, August 24, 2009 – Washington County

Mimic THIS as much as possible?

[ethics]

You might consider bringing up the Independent Medical Advisory Committee (IMAC) which will control the manner in which different medical procedure are handled and how they will be reimbursed.

This panel is accountable to nobody.

If anybody has any additional info on IMAC please share
