Did Obama's people send out an e-mail requesting people to post on forums like Facebook?

Did someone from the Obama administration sent out a directive requesting that people post something on forums like Facebook about healthcare.

Two different people make the exact same post on my Facebook page. It was:

No one should die because they cannot afford health care, and no one should go broke because they get sick. If you agree, please post this as your status for the rest of the day and do something useful, like writing or calling your representatives.4 hours ago · Comment · Like / Unlike

I don’t know, but nobody can post on my FB page if I don’t know them.

“No one should die because they cannot afford health care,”

unless you’re a senior and your healthcare should be rationed to help illegals

“and no one should go broke because they get sick.”

but the US govt should go broke because a 9 trillion debt is simply not enough of a burden for our children

I would respond by Reagan's quote:

“One of the traditional methods of imposing statism or socialism on a people has been by way of medicine. It’s very easy to disguise a medical program as a humanitarian project. Most people are a little reluctant to oppose anything that suggests medical care for people who possibly can’t afford it.”

well let's have a response on facebook:

No one should die because Obama wants to ration health care, and the nation should not go broke because of Obama's continued reckless spending. If you agree, please post this as your status for the rest of the day and do something useful, like writing or calling your representatives.

I suspect you are correct. That exact phrase was posted on Twitter in the #healthcare discussion. Literally hundreds of posts from Obama Drones.

So did one of mine. Exact same sentence. I commented on it, too. I said, “No one in this country is dying because they can’t afford health care. If you can get to an ER, you will get treated whether you can afford to pay or not - IT’S THE LAW.”

It’s all over the freaking site. I’ve been tempted to post something like, “Nobody should try to reduce a complex issue affecting our freedom and way of life to a few lines on a facebook status.”

Well, of course they have. And they have been hitting all the local newsrags' comment boards with the exact same talking points as well.

I've been tangling with some of the lib posters on my local news forum, and so far, I've been called a terrorist, hater, poser, neocon, nutjob, blowhard, Rushnut, Bushie, and oh yeah, racist.

I had a lib family member do the same. I posted this quote from P.J. O'Rourke in response: "If you think health care is expensive now, wait until you see what it costs when it’s free.”

I really didn't want to get into it with her.

OK. This was talked about on BECK two days ago when he was covering the National Endowment of the Arts. I’ll try to find the link.

Yep, I saw those same exact words on a post by another friend of mine on FB, who is a liberal.

I had two “friends” post that today. I didn’t bother responding, although I probably should have. They aren’t real friends ... just people I needed to be in my army or be neighbors to my farm.

Two of mine did it, but one with slight changes. I responded by posting this:

RightFighter thinks that noone should die because the Office of Comparative Effectiveness Research determined that the care they needed wasn’t necessary, and noone should go broke because nationalized healthcare taxed them to death.
