A FINAL CALL TO ACTION: TO EVERYONE WHO WANTS TO HELP STOP SOCIALIZED HEALTH CARE, A.K.A. OBAMACARE !
Rocky Montana
-- OR DO THEY WANT TO LIVE IN FREEDOM UNDER A CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC? YOUR DESIRE FOR THE LATER REQUIRES THAT YOU DO SOMETHING FOR YOUR COUNTRY WITHOUT DELAY! YOU HAVE ONLY A FEW DAYS TO ACT. The Senate version of the Socialized Health Care Bill that passed in the Senate last month will be voted on in the House of Representatives sometime this week. It is labeled: "H.R. 3962 - Affordable Health Care for America Act".
Socialized Health Care (ObamaCare) is the antithesis to the ideals of a free Constitutional Republic our nation was founded upon. Forcing Americans to purchase Government Health Care with threat of fines and imprisonment is unconstitutional. This bill will weaken and damage our nation, even more than it is today. It will damage our nation's sovereignty and our individual rights. It will drain our bank accounts for years before it is ever enacted, thus taking our nation further down the path of financial ruin. Contrary to what the politicians tell us, THIS BILL IS NOTHING MORE THAN A LICENSE FOR STEAL THE WEALTH AND THE HEALTH FROM THE AMERICAN PEOPLE!
If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. --2 Chronicles 7:14
Thank you for your participation.
Allocate at least 15 minutes of intense and sustained mental effort (prayer) each day, with the intent of defeating the Government Health Care bill (Obamacare). If you contribute only 15 minutes a day, you will have added power to this cause. If you can afford more time, however, please do so.
Start your prayer periods by asking for the assistance of the Lighted energies of Holy God in defeating the Government Health-Care bill. Use a "mantra" (a repeated phrase) such as: "THE GOVERNMENT HEALTH-CARE BILL HAS BEEN DEFEATED"! Or, THE GOVERNMENT HEALTH-CARE BILL IS DEAD. Also visualize this desired outcome on the front page of all newspapers, etc.
The Congress is attempting to pass the Senate bill. Should the bill pass in the House, it goes to President Obama for signing. DON'T GIVE UP! Change your mantra to fit the situation, such as,"PRESIDENT OBAMA VETOED THE HEALTH-CARE BILL" and visualize that desired outcome.
PHYSICAL ACTION (TELEPHONE and/OR FAX HOUSE DEMOCRATS):
The easiest way is to pay "Liberty Council" to faxfire 123 Democratic Representatives for you, for about $80. You can use their form letter or compose your own. (See Liberty Council news alert below.)
"Grassfire Nation" will faxfire the 84 key Democratic Representatives for you, for about $75. You can use their form letter or compose your own. (See Grassfire Nation News Alert below.)
Or you can fax your own composed letter to the 84 key Democratic Representatives (see list below). It took me about 7 hours and cost about $45 on telephone and stationary expenses. I got several busy signals and to keep faxing over and over to get through.
No one said freedom is free.
Pelosi: ..."we'll get to find out what is in ObamaCare AFTER it has passed!"
Mathew Staver, Founder and Chairman
Liberty Counsel

Like opening up a Cracker Jack box, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi is now telling Americans that we'll get to find out what is in ObamaCare AFTER it has passed! See below. - Mat
[Dear Fellow Citizen],
The clock is ticking on Congress. President Obama has dictated there will be a vote by March 18th. Feeling the heat, Speaker Pelosi is now telling Americans to support the passage of ObamaCare so that WE can find out what is in the bill!
Here is what Pelosi said about ObamaCare in an address to the National Association of Counties yesterday:
"...[W]e have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it."
This latest condescension toward the American people has raised the arrogance level of the Obama/Reid/Pelosi political machine to new heights. Honestly, I didn't think it was possible.
Both the House and Senate bills were crafted behind closed doors because their architects knew that when the American people understood the scope and breadth of this governmental takeover of our medical system, we would strongly reject them.
And we do reject them! The undeniable fact is that a growing majority of Americans oppose both Chambers' versions.
++We dare not trust the ObamaCare "fix."
The so-called "President's Plan" is simply that - a plan. It doesn't even exist, legislatively speaking. It's only a promise that they will "fix" the Senate bill once the House passes it.
But how can we trust the President and the ultraliberal legislators of the 111th Congress to "fix" this trillion-dollar, tax-laden,
anti-life bill when they have TOTALLY IGNORED the voices of the American people throughout this entire process?
That is precisely why wavering Democrats in the House are extremely reluctant to pass the Senate version. It is only on the administration's and Harry Reid's word that any "fixes" will take place.
Mr. President, we don't trust you or the leadership of the 111th Congress. That's why we have been calling on you to abandon this unwise, unwanted plan for months!
Speaker Pelosi, Americans are aware of what's in ObamaCare and we don't like it! Pass it...and we will bring a lawsuit! You and the members of the ultraliberal 111th Congress WILL BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE.
++Meanwhile, President Obama is telling voters to push Congress!
Back on the campaign trail again, this Monday the President told about 1,800 carefully-chosen attendees at a whistle-stop meeting in suburban Philadelphia that it's crucial voters contact Congress and make their voices heard.
I rarely agree with one of President Obama's political rally speaking points, but he's right about Congress needing to hear from Americans on ObamaCare. It's the socialists' problem that they won't like what they'll hear!
PLEASE, now more than ever, join (or, re-join) our intense Liberty Counsel FAX BARRAGE. Your faxes to Congress send a clear mandate. "NO TO OBAMACARE."
Here is what I'm asking you to do...
FIRST... Fax your elected officials!
Tell your own Senators and Representative that you do not support ObamaCare! We have sample fax letters that you can use.
http://www.libertyaction.org/r.asp?U=25939&CID=310&RID=22547774
If you prefer, we always encourage you to send your own faxes. We have provided all the information you need to reach Senators here:
http://www.libertyaction.org/r.asp?U=25940&CID=310&RID=22547774
SECOND... Fax Key "Blue Dog" and Pro-Life members of the House.
We are specifically targeting potential congressional "swing votes" over the next few days. There must not be any doubt in those elected officials' minds that their careers will not survive a vote for the "President's Plan" or any other version of ObamaCare. Go here right now:
http://www.libertyaction.org/r.asp?U=25941&CID=310&RID=22547774
THIRD... Please call your two Senators and your Representative and tell them what you think about the President's campaign tactics.
++The President's "double speak."
Over the past few days, the President has been in full campaign mode utilizing all of the technologies and resources employed in his presidential campaign to rally his proven supporters for ObamaCare. Using scare tactics, citing heart-wrenching scenarios and vilifying insurance companies, the President's theatrical rhetoric is being staged in front of partisan crowds designed for one purpose: to give the impression that ObamaCare is popular!
Dirk, we are all tired of the rhetoric and double-speak. We are all weary of this entire process to ram ObamaCare down our throats. I know that many of our faithful supporters have already faxed your legislators... perhaps many times by now.
But at a time when the President is calling for a "Virtual March on Washington" over the Internet, and fully going into "campaign mode," we MUST be heard! Join our fax barrage and tell our lawmakers that THEY WILL BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE.
http://www.libertyaction.org/r.asp?U=25942&CID=310&RID=22547774
Dirk, Rep. Bart Stupak and 11 other Democrats indicated that they will not vote for the Senate-passed version because of language that permits the federal government to "directly subsidize abortions." Trust me, right now these legislators are being pressured, hounded and wooed to change their minds by pro-ObamaCare colleagues and pro-abortion groups.
Our FAX BARRAGE specifically targets key pro-life-leaning Democrats who need to hear from citizens right now. Tell them not to buckle or fall for empty promises. Support them in their bold stand for life!
I need thousands more pro-life, patriotic Americans to respond by sending a crystal clear message: "The abortion provisions in ObamaCare are unconscionable and are not to be tolerated!"
Thank you if you have already responded. Even so, we simply MUST keep up the pressure.
God bless you,
Mathew Staver, Founder and Chairman
Liberty Counsel
P.S. The ObamaCare clock is rapidly winding down. Together, we will send a bold message that we oppose this government takeover disguised as "health care reform." Together, we will hold Congress accountable. Please, don't let the clock run out on this opportunity to help right the course on
health care. Please send your faxes today! Thanks, and God bless you.

"Slaughter Solution": Dems won't even vote on ObamaCare
Grassfire Nation News Alert
ObamaCare--"Slaughter Solution"
3/11/2010
The buzz on Capitol Hill is that the Democrats are now considering what is being called the "Slaughter Solution"
that will allow ObamaCare to be signed into law WITHOUT HOUSE MEMBERS EVEN HAVING TO VOTE.
According to Congress Daily, House Rules Chairwoman Louise Slaughter.
"...is weighing preparing a rule that would consider the Senate bill passed once the House approves a corrections bill that would make changes to the Senate version."
The Washington Examiner explains that this will allow Democrats to approve ObamaCare without actually voting
on the bill:
"In the Slaughter Solution, the rule would declare that the House "deems" the Senate version of Obamacare to have been passed by the House. House members would still have to vote on whether to accept the rule, but they would then be able to say they only voted for a rule, not for the bill itself."
+ + Dems escaping the "Catch 22"
The Slaughter Solution would allow Democrats to escape their "Catch 22." Simply put, the House must pass the Senate bill
BEFORE the "reconciliation" tactic can be employed -- trusting that the Senate will actually do what is promised.
The "Slaughter Solution" solves that -- and gives House members an "out" because they never actually had to vote on the Senate ObamaCare bill.
+ + Pelosi says backroom deals "pretty close" to final
Whether by the "Slaughter Solution" or another means, it is clear that Democrats are rapidly pushing ObamaCare to a final vote. After yesterday's backroom deals, Speaker Pelosi said they were "pretty close" and Majority Leader Reid added:
"[H]ealth reform is going to be done. We don't have it all worked out, but we made
a lot of progress."
As I noted a few days ago, grassroots pressure from the Left has increased in recent days, not-so-coincidentally timed with this final push to pass ObamaCare.
+ + Three ways to let your voice be heard

SAMPLE LETTERS:
From Greg Fasolt:
ACTION: Write your representative one final time. Tell him to oppose the Senate-passed ObamaCare bill that is full of bribes and corruption. You can use the Gun Owners Legislative Action Center at http://gunowners.org/activism.htm to send a pre-written message.
-----Pre-written letter -----
Dear Representative:
The Senate's anti-gun ObamaCare bill is crammed full of billions of dollar of bribes:
* The Cornhusker Kickback.
* $300,000,000 of bribes to Louisiana's Senator Mary Landrieu.
* A new hospital in Connecticut for morally challenged Senator Chris Dodd.
* Roughly ten billion in community health centers to buy off Vermont's Bernie Sanders.
* An exemption of Bill Nelson's Florida constituents from the Medicare Advantage cuts applicable to everyone else.
* A threat to take away Connecticut Senator Joe Lieberman's committee chairmanship unless he falls into line.
And, of course, the Senate ObamaCare bill still allows the ATF to troll a health/gun database in order to take away firearms from tens of millions of Americans.
Well, now, you are being told you have to pass this bill that is filled with bribes and corruption --- and to pass it WITHOUT A SINGLE CHANGE.
Not a single bribe will come out of the bill which Pelosi and Obama are now DEMANDING that the House pass by March 18.
Sure, there will be a companion package --- dubbed "ObamaCare Helper" --- which will be "passed" by the House at the same time.
But once ObamaCare is passed, what motivation do either Obama or Senate Democrats have to pass a clean-up bill for House Democratic suckers once they've gotten the trillion dollar Senate bill they want?
We understand that Pelosi will now attempt to shower you with bribes and threats. But believe me, your political career is more important than any bribe Pelosi can offer you.
Please, resist the bribes and extortion from Pelosi. Vote against the bribe-filled Senate bill and against the bribe-filled ObamaCare Helper bill.
Sincerely,
***
From Liberty Council:
Dear Representative________________________ :
I object to H.R. 3962, the 1,900-page House healthcare bill precisely because it's 1,900 pages long. That's too much complexity.
I object to H.R. 3962 for the following reasons:
the words "penalty" or "penalties" occur in the bill 181 times;the words "tax", "taxes", "taxable" or "taxpayer" occur in the bill 214 times;the words "fee" and "fees" occur in the bill 90 times;
the words "penalty", "surcharge", "tax", "fine" or "fee" occur in the bill 494 times;
the words "require(s)", "required" or "requirement" occur in the bill 941 times;
the words "obligation(s)" or "obligate(d)" occur in the bill 106 times;
the words "regulate" or "regulation(s)" occur in the bill 221 times;
the words "impose(d)" or "imposes" occur in the bill 110 times;
and the words "impose", "require", "mandate", "obligation", "license" or "regulation" occur in the bill 1,464 times.
I hate these words and will hold in contempt, your action, if you vote for this bill.
Furthermore, I object to H.R. 3962 for the following reasons:
This bill will be imposed on me at the point of a policeman's gun. If I do not want to pay for it, or comply with it, armed men will eventually knock on my door to force me to submit, or be fined, or go to prison. Do not do this too me!
Because many of my healthcare choices will be dictated by a "Health Choices Commissioner" and an "Inspector General for the Health Choices Administration." I won't be able to elect or fire either of these people, and I do not want them in my life.
This bill contains numerous Trojan Horses that will eventually kill free market healthcare in favor of complete government control. This bill costs too much, and because you're hiding the true cost in a variety of fraudulent ways.
This bill will require federal bureaucrats to write hundreds, or even thousands of pages of regulations to fill in the details, and because I'll have to pay for lawyers and accountants, either directly or indirectly, to interpret and comply with this mess.
Because you're not going to read this bill before you vote on it, or sit with the federal code to look up and read all the parts of existing law that the bill will change.
And because it is increasingly clear to me that my supposed representatives really represent their own party leadership first, special interest lobbyists second, and me not at all.
If you pass this bill, or anything like it, I will never forgive you and will do everything in my power to unseat you.
Cordially,
(Your name) ________________________________
