ObamaCare sinking lower in polls
Mathew Staver, Chairman Liberty Counsel Action
Public support for the President's signature legislation,
the so-called "Patient Protection and Affordable Care
Act," is further declining in national polls. Even
elected Democrat officials are abandoning ship - and
their constituents are fast following their lead. This
is bad news for President Obama. But his worst news
will come next year when, I believe, his heath care
overhaul will be declared unconstitutional by the
United States Supreme Court! See my message below - Mat
The House of Representatives voted to repeal it and a growing
majority of Americans don't want it. Yet ObamaCare still
stumbles forward in implementation and funding while slowly
displacing the world's finest health care system.
A new poll from the Kaiser Family Foundation shows an
accelerating decline in positive views on ObamaCare,
with just 34% having at least a "favorable" impression
of the law. That's down from 41% in September! And just
18% of respondents felt their families would be "better
off" when ObamaCare is fully implemented.
This healthcare "reform" law is, in reality, an unprecedented
expansion of federal power and regulation. It is blatantly
unconstitutional.
It represents everything that is wrong with the failed
political philosophy of socialism. The power of the federal
government to regulate has limits set by the Constitution!
This healthcare law goes far, far beyond those limits.
Here are just a few of the leading objections to ObamaCare
that have led to its sinking popularity, even among liberals:
ObamaCare's "individual mandate" is obviously
unconstitutional. If the government can force you
to buy insurance, there will be no limits on what the
government can force you to purchase.
Taxpayer funding for abortions is against federal law,
yet ObamaCare is full of loopholes allowing for the
killing of innocent preborn children, and those
loopholes are being rapidly exposed.
Remember the promise President Obama made about your
medical insurance plan: "If you like what you've got,
you can keep it"? It has been revealed that's absolutely
NOT TRUE for the employees of as many as eighty percent
of America's small businesses!
Remember the administration's promise that ObamaCare
would cut a typical family's premium "by up to $2,500
a year"? That's proven to be a complete fairy tale.
Remember the promise that ObamaCare would "strengthen
small businesses"? That overt misstatement is not
worthy of comment, given the jobless economy and the
unwillingness of businesses both large and small to
commit to new hiring.
And remember when Barack Obama said there would not
be rationing of care? Dr. Donald Berwick, an
outspoken fan of England's National Health Service
and appointee to run OUR system, says rationing is
inevitable. In other words, the President's statement
was a sham.
Eighteen months of scrutiny of the ObamaCare legislation has
revealed the truth about healthcare "reform," and it isn't
anything like the bill of goods Barack Obama and his
congressional cronies sold America.
++Now the best way to STOP ObamaCare is in court!
Overturning ObamaCare's unconstitutional mandates IN COURT
is our best chance to stop this socialist nightmare before
it gains any more momentum. But this battle is just one of
many crucial cases Liberty Counsel is facing right now.
I must continue to ask for your help today.
Liberty Counsel is standing at the epicenter of the battle
for the soul of America against an unprecedented number of
calculated and malicious assaults on our liberties.
As I wrote to you on Friday, "Political correctness" and
overt anti-Christian bigotry have been relentlessly pounding
our culture for several decades and these attacks have taken
a terrible toll. Today, there is an increasing need for the
kind of assistance Liberty Counsel was founded to provide
just to keep our culture from being pushed over the edge!
Our litigation team is working hard to keep on top of
attempts to turn America into a European-style,
godless, socialist state and our caseload is growing
as never before. When you add our lawsuit against
ObamaCare to the mix, at times the challenges can
seem overwhelming!
Will you prayerfully consider making a tax-deductible gift
right now so our team can continue to fight against the
rise of Big Government, radical pro-abortion groups, the
increasing attacks of the ACLU, and assaults from other
activist legal organizations?
I pray you will consider helping today, even if you have
supported Liberty Counsel's aggressive defense of liberty,
life, and family many times before. Please go here to help:

Liberty Counsel has been blessed with amazing opportunities
to change our culture. Our fight against ObamaCare alone
is one of the greatest battles for liberty in our nation's
history! But these opportunities come with significant
challenges.
And beyond the demands of our major cases, every day we
are approached with requests for legal help from citizens
across the country who are facing serious infringements of
their constitutional rights, encountering overt religious
bigotry, or suffering assaults on their personal liberty
by radical liberal groups.
I firmly believe it is Liberty Counsel's duty to do
everything in our power - both in the courts and the
court of public opinion - to turn back attacks on our
liberties. And I believe the Lord has called you and me
to partner together to do just that!
We depend on friends who give $20, $30, $50, $100 - whatever
the Lord leads - so we can stay involved in these crucial
battles.
Will you help?
