Obamacare Is Dead and Here's Why [Obamacare Ongoing Thread]
Town Hall ^ | 1-26-10 | Robert A. Levy

Posted on 01/25/2010 11:27:02 PM PST by JustPiper

As the Massachusetts blame game unfolds, the president’s unpopular health bill leads the list. But the substantive provisions of the bill were just part of the problem. Perhaps more important, voters were appalled by how the deal unfolded.

Consider the pre-election giveaway to the labor unions. Negotiators agreed to exempt union contracts until 2018 from the tax on so-called Cadillac health-insurance plans. That backroom bargain not only outraged the voters, it also violated the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution, requiring the federal government to extend equal protection of the laws to all U.S. persons. Of course, not all voters understood the constitutional nuances, but they sensed that something was very wrong; and they reacted.

I have been disturbed by the socialists for years, ever since I learned many members of Congress 'openly' joined the DSA (Democratic Socialists of America). Several years ago, the names were published on the DSA site. (since removed of course) Please post any info you have, many of you have been on this issue for many years, & if we can store it all on one thread, we have our FreeRepublic Warehouse on the enemies of the state. How DO we combat this, when it's coming at us from every angle? When the people have been asleep for decades. Please post anything you have found or accumulated. Also choose a dictator these people follow, of particular interest,those in D.C. who have been quoted with their adulation of one.

Communism- Marxism-Leninism-Stalinism-Trotskyism-Maoism- Hoxhaism-Hoxhaism-Titoism ETC

Dear Patriots,

As you know the House/Pelosi is pulling out all their tricks to accomplish the passing of Obamacare. On Tuesday Resistnet partnered with American Grassroots Coalition and the Tea Party Express to sponsor a Code Red Rally in DC. Several thousand attended and visited Reps on Capitol Hill.

This Saturday many are going back.....this is your chance to show up on the day that they hope to pass this debacle. If you can join us in DC we will be sending out more information as we receive the updates on location and times. At this time it is tentatively set for 12:00 Noon.

Either way we need you to continue the calls, faxes, visits to local offices, and spread the word to get as many joining in the effort as possible. We will send out another update soon but we wanted you to have ample time to make your arrangements.

+ + Three key actions

It is vitally important that every Representative and every
Senator hear from their constituents right now. Here are three ways
you can expand your voice...

Action #1 — Send faxes right now

It is important that members of Congress hear
from as many different constituents as possible.

Action #2 — Call your Representative

The first key votes will take place in the House — either on
the Senate bill or on the Slaughter Rule/Reconciliation bill.

Call if you want them to hear your position on this issue:

Rep. Call the Congressional Switchboard (202) 224-3121

Capitol Switchboard: 202-224-3121

Talking Points:

1. I oppose any attempt to avoid a direct vote in the House
on the Senate ObamaCare bill, such as the “Slaughter
Solution” self-extracting rule.

2. Congress should NOT pass any version of the current
ObamaCare bill and should start over with market-based,
cost-saving solutions.

3. I also oppose the abuse of the “reconciliation” rules
to ram ObamaCare through Congress.

Action #3 — Forward this to your friends

Ask everyone you know to do something today to let their
voice be heard. Forward this message to as many people
as you can.

Finally...

Be sure to go to ResistNet to network with other grassroots
conservatives and take part in protests and rallies that
are developing right now:

As you know the healthcare bill will most likely pass this week or next. We must be prepared for the next step....State nullification is the answer!

In preparing for that, Resistnet has partnered with the Tenth Amendment Center. Michael Boldin of the center is also the blog talk resistnet radio show guest this Wednesday and it couldn’t be any timelier!

We need a good showing this Wednesday night. from 9:00 PM to 11:00 PM.

FRiend, I had read that in immigration, we might have a chip put in our ID cards. Personally, I think something on that order would be fine for VISAS, but why ID cards? Regardless, that’s the closest we’re getting to embedded chips right now.

Court Fight Looms With Talk of Stevens’ Departure
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2473408/posts

All — I’m really irritated by the “fairness doctrine” for search engines. It’s ruining my google searches. I try to hunt the free republic forum in google, and it’s crammed with spam. Rush talked about it yesterday I think, but I need a link.

Obama had a gaffe recently, saying that corporations can save 3 thousand % or some such figure that would amount to an impossible profit to corportations if health care was passed. Google spam prevents me from finding a link.

Here is what I could find, no thanks to google:

I stopped going to google (except as a last resort) in July of 2009, when I watched in horror as they systematically nuked half a million hits on image searches for “obama birth certificate”.

It took them three days to make them go down the memory hole. They were willing to put in a LOT of effort to be biased.

I use Bing first now.
