“Leaders of New Nonprofit Cite Personal Stories to Criticize ‘Immoral’ Health-Care Reform”
Thursday, August 27, 2009
By Christopher Neefus

SNIPPET: “(CNSNews.com) – A consortium of two dozen conservative Christian groups launched a Web site Wednesday criticizing President Obama’s health-care reform plan.

The site, FreedomFederation.org, carries the tagline “Real Hope. Real Change. Real Freedom,” a swipe at President Obama’s campaign slogan, and features a Declaration of Ideals that citizens can sign. The 10 ideals include free exercise of religion, fair taxes and an affirmation of the sanctity of life — including the unborn and disabled.

Leaders of the consortium used their own health-care stories to highlight the importance of free-market, pro-life reform at a news conference at the National Press Club. Mathew Staver, chairman of Liberty Counsel, Bishop Harry Jackson, senior pastor of Hope Christian Church in Beltsville, Md., and Rick Tyler, the founding director of Renewing American Freedom, each took a turn at the podium.”

The survey, conducted August 11-13, provides some revealing points of comparison for public opinion today versus June of 1994:”
