Call to action! Washington DC: March 16th, 2010 - Stop Obamacare 2.0
FreedomWorks.org ^ | March 10, 2010 | FreedomWorks.org via Michelle Malkin

Posted on 03/11/2010 8:36:17 AM PST by nutmeg

We are calling everyone that is able to come to Washington, DC on March 16th, 2010 for one last push against Obamacare. We will meet at the Cannon building at 9am and speak with as many representatives as possible, encouraging them to vote NO on this version of health care reform.

“Was Democrats’ Health Care Strategy Written In Federal Prison?
Rep. Schakowsky’s husband, Robert Creamer, used to be the leader of Citizen
Action/Illinois. He also founded its predecessor, Illinois Public Action, in which Ms.
Schakowsky served as Program Director. He runs a political consulting firm, the
Strategic Consulting Group, which lists ACORN and the SEIU among its clients and
which made $541,000 working for disgraced former Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich.

“Creamer resigned from Citizen Action/Illinois after the FBI began investigating him for
bank fraud and tax evasion at Illinois Public Action. He was convicted in 2006 and
sentenced to five months in federal prison in Terre Haute, Indiana, plus eleven months of house arrest.
While in prison—or “forced sabbatical,” he called it—Creamer wrote a lengthy political
manual, Listen to Your Mother: Stand Up Straight! How Progressives Can Win (Seven
Locks Press, 2007). The book was endorsed by leading Democrats and their allies,
including SEIU boss Andy Stern—the most frequent visitor thus far to the Obama White
House—and chief Obama strategist David Axelrod, who noted that Creamer’s tome
“provides a blueprint for future victories.”


“CATO: OBAMACARE PRICE TAG IS 6 TRILLIONS
When we correct for both gimmicks, counting both on- and off-budget costs over the first 10 years of implementation, the total cost of ObamaCare reaches — I’m so sorry about this — $6.25 trillion.“


“The former CBO director, Douglas Holtz-Eakin, warns today on the effect ObamaCare
will have on our economy and health care. …This bill will lead to a huge middle class tax increase:
The bill creates a new health entitlement program that the Congressional Budget Office
(CBO) estimates will grow over the longer term at a rate of 8% annually, which is much
faster than the growth rate of the economy or tax revenues.“


”When Barack Obama ran for president, he promised that his health care plan would
"lower health-care costs by $2,500 for the typical family." Now, it turns out that new
legislation that he supports creating public-private "co-operatives" will increase the costs
of family health insurance by $4,000 by 2019.”


”Robert Reich Reveals Brutal Health Care Truths; MSM Snores
"We're going to have to, if you're very old, we're not going to give you all that
technology and all those drugs for the last couple of years of your life to keep you
maybe going for another couple of months. It's too expensive...so we're going to let
you die."


”PriceWaterhouseCoopers concluded that the cost of health insurance for the average
family will rise by $4,000 by 2019, as compared with doing nothing:”


“Customers will pay big for health fix: insurers”


“A major new report confirms the worst fears of many: Health care reform will raise the
costs for most Americans—by about 18% on average. That is on top of existing inflation of health coverage.”


“The WSJ Guide to ObamaCare. A comprehensive collection of our editorials. "


“45% Of Doctors Would Consider Quitting If Congress Passes Health Care Overhaul
Two of every three practicing physicians oppose the medical overhaul plan under
consideration in Washington, and hundreds of thousands would think about shutting
down their practices or retiring early if it were adopted, a new IBD/TIPP Poll has found.
The poll contradicts the claims of not only the White House, but also doctors' own lobby
— the powerful American Medical Association “


"Obama health care plan projected to cost 5.2 million jobs
In addition wages would be “stunted” for another 10.2 million wage earners."


"Oregon Offers Terminal Patients Doctor-Assisted Suicide Instead of Medical Care
PORTLAND, Ore. — Some terminally ill patients in Oregon who turned to their state for health care
were denied treatment and offered doctor-assisted suicide instead
"[How could they] not pay for medication that would help my life, and yet offer to pay to end my life?"


"Obama Health-Care Would Drive Up Inflation and Health-Care Costs
ObamaCare would shrink the economy, drive up health-care costs and inflation,
and increase the deficit,
Overall, total federal expenditures will be 5.6 percent higher than otherwise by 2019, adding $285.6 billion to the federal deficit in 2019”

Not to be a buzzkill but it happened last November. The Capitol Police closed off the buildings and allowed access only after a thorough security check thus slowing the onslaught of patriots to a trickle. Canon was locked down to only one entrance IIRC. Thousands of people outside - dozens of people inside. Kinda' like a big townhall.

The key word is "storm". If you are not willing to do that, it is pointless. The only way to stop the action is to stop the congress.

They haven't listened to the people as of today, what difference will that make on March 16?

Pointless? B/S!

The Tea Party and Townhall protests are the only reason they haven’t already passed this Democrat/Marxist boondoggle. The Democrats fear the wrath of the people! Keep the pressure on!!

When the people fear the government we have tyranny.

When the politicians fear the people we have Liberty!!

Resistance to tyranny is obedience to God!!

Rebellion is brewing!!

Diogenesis, I might have found a new article for your list:

Obama’s cousin (a doctor) savages ObamaCare:

http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2010/mar/11/obama-family-health-care-fracas/

Dr. Milton R. Wolf is a radiologist in Kansas. He is Barack Obama’s second cousin once removed. President Obama’s great-great grandfather, Thomas Creekmore McCurry, is Dr. Wolf’s great-grandfather. Dr. Wolf’s mother, Anna Margaret McCurry, was five years older than Mr. Obama’s mother, Stanley Ann Dunham. The two were childhood friends until the Dunhams moved from Kansas to Seattle in 1955.

“See the FreedomWorks website for more information.”

On March 21 SEIU is calling for thousands to do the same in D.C. Only they will be asking for ObamaCare AND Amnesty for illegal aliens.

Unfortunately FreedomWorks can’t do the same...they are PRO-AMNESTY!

Defeat Obamacare call list: List now contains the new MAYBES culled from FR posts.

Code Red” - House Target List on Health Care

The National Republican Congressional Committee has published a target list on health care. In addition to continuing to contact the five Tennessee Democrat Congressmen, you can go http://www.votervoice.net/link/clickthrough/ext/94697.aspx to contact some of these targets. Much of the talk following Obama’s announcement has focused on how to defeat this second bill through reconciliation, but that is misleading because the first step to defeating Obamacare is not by concentrating on defeating the “fixer” bill but by defeating the Senate bill in the House when it goes to the floor for an up-or-down vote on Thursday, March 18th.

This option would help reduce the costs of TFL, as well as costs for Medicare, by introducing minimum out-of pocket requirements for beneficiaries. Under this option, TFL would not cover any of the first $525 of an enrollee’s cost-sharing liabilities for calendar year 2011 and would limit coverage to 50 percent of the next $4,725 in Medicare cost sharing that the beneficiary incurred. (Because all further cost sharing would be covered by TFL, enrollees could not pay more than $2,888 in cost sharing in that year.) http://www.cbo.gov/ftpdocs/99xx/doc9925/12-18-HealthOptions.pdf

Congress plans to block Tricare fee increases
http://www.armytimes.com/news/2009/10/military_tricarefees_blocked_100709w
http://www.navytimes.com/news/2009/10/military_tricarefees_blocked_100709w/

By Rick Maze - Staff writer, Oct 7, 2009

Tricare fee increases imposed last week by the Defense Department will be repealed by a provision of the compromise 2010 defense authorization bill unveiled Wednesday by House and Senate negotiators.

The fee increases were announced on Sept. 30 and took effect on Oct. 1, but the defense bill, HR 2647, includes a provision barring any fee increases until the start of fiscal 2011.

Retired Army Maj. Gen. Bill Matz, president of the National Association for Uniformed Services, said the announcement of fee increases was shocking considering that the Obama administration promised earlier this year to hold off on any new fee Tricare fee increases until fiscal 2011.

“President Obama and DoD assured NAUS and the entire military family earlier this year that there would rightly be no increases in any Tricare fees” in fiscal 2010, Matz said. “We took them at their word, and I can’t believe that a co-pay increase like this was allowed to go forward,” he added.

They are pulling this crap today......

The Slaughter Solution is a plan by Rep. Louise Slaughter (D-NY), the Democratic chair of the powerful House Rules Committee and a key ally of Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), to get the health care legislation through the House without an actual vote on the Senate-passed health care bill.

You see, Democratic leaders currently lack the votes needed to pass the Senate health care bill through the House. Under Slaughter’s scheme, Democratic leaders will overcome this problem by simply “deeming” the Senate bill passed in the House – without an actual vote by members of the House.

"These are the days of our great lament. The land thirsts.
A great plague infests our country from the corrupt Congress.
They say that strife has made us weak.
That we have become empty.
They say that we rot.
But, we are strong. We are a people of destiny."

Thanks for your post re: "The Slaughter Solution" in #27, b4its2late. Here's more info from Republican Leader John Boehner's website:

The twisted scheme by which Democratic leaders plan to bend the rules to ram President Obama’s massive health care legislation through Congress now has a name: the Slaughter Solution.

The Slaughter Solution is a plan by Rep. Louise Slaughter (D-NY), the Democratic chair of the powerful House Rules Committee and a key ally of Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), to get the health care legislation through the House without an actual vote on the Senate-passed health care bill. You see, Democratic leaders currently lack the votes needed to pass the Senate health care bill through the House. Under Slaughter’s scheme, Democratic leaders will overcome this problem by simply “deeming” the Senate bill passed in the House - without an actual vote by members of the House...

Rush Limbaugh said about an hour ago that Pelosi came out of her "bat cave" and it appears (no confirmation yet) that the 'RATs are considering going the Slaughter Solution route.

FReepers, if THIS doesn't make you angry, nothing will! ObamaCare MUST BE STOPPED!

"Slaughter" - the name is almost biblical in it's perfect fit for the occasion.

Whatever it takes and ASAP... before US doctors leave their practices in droves, and we're all on waitlists for MRIs, cat scans, knee/hip replacements, etc.

God help us...

If they use unlawful methods to jam this crap down our throats, it will become a call to arms. We cannot show fear. We must resist and overturn this unconstitutional abuse of power. If they want it done in the streets, in the byways, in the hedgerows, in the forests or anywhere we choose, so be it.

The far more effective approach is for the people to exert their power by shutting down Congress.

And as many folks getting to DC as possible, and doing just that... These thugs are trying to put through something that is opposed by a large majority. It isn't close. Do not know what else we can do at this point except make a lot of noise, and make these insulated jerks hear what the pubklic sentiment is. Unfoprtunately I live on the left coast.

Do you still have that handy e-mail website where we can quickly e-mail the so-called "conservative" democRATs? (the 'fence-sitters')

I can't seem to find it. Thanks... :o)

Shut ‘em down and, as the left likes to say, get in their faces! Don’t let the DC police and the riff-raff on the left bully anyone there.

They haven’t listened to our mass protests (9/12) or election results. They are opening the doors to anarchy. Can’t make it to DC but there is a rally outside my local congressman’s office I will be attending. Isn’t this Slaughter the same one with the story about the woman using her dead sister’s dentures? That such a mentally challenged individual could be making the rules for pushing thru Obamacare is unthinkable!!

Speaking as a person of the feminine persuasion, I must ask all to note that this obstreperous effrontery is not being brought upon us by Obama alone or Obama per se, but by the prideful diktat of two grandmothers, abortion-enthusiasts and professed churchwomen: Annunciata D'Alesandro Pelosi and Louise McIntosh Slaughter.

One happy consequence--- if this country survives--- is that we will never again have to tolerate foolish feminists' claim that political arrangements rest most safely in the hands of the female sex, because women make decisions in the context of relationship and caring, and are, compared to men, less attracted to the raw exercise of power.

Possible Motto? "Equal Hell for Equal Hubris."

ACTION ALERT

With handy, clickable contact information


Here's the official Code Red List for the selected HOUSE DEMOCRATS THAT NEED TO BE PUSHED HARDEST.

The clickable links go to their online Message System. You can use the same City, State, Zip, and Area Codes as one of their local district offices (usually listed on the same page) with any street address you want --- you're using local information to get through their spam filter. For Zip+4, use any 4 digits added onto the selected Zip Code.

Write a brief, punchy letter in your Word Program, and cut-and-paste it to one congresscritter after another from the CODE RED LIST.

It is easy to do 15 or 20 of them in an hour.

Each Congressional website also has the phone, fax, and district office addresses for each Representative. I strongly urge you to phone, fax, and if at all possible, personally visit a District Office, This makes a maximum impression.

We can absolutely win this one.

Oh, give me a phone
Where the Democrats roam,
In the land of the Bribe and the Spin,
Where we never let up
On the Blue Doggie pups,
Cause we won't let Obamunists win.

Phone, e-mail and yell,
Whether doggies are Red, White or Blue,
Then we'll barge through the dooor,
And we'll sit on the floooor,
Till they join the Tea Party too!

I have the phone list, which will tell you who, then go to their web sites for email contact. Bayner (SP?) is doing a push call for campaign cash. Got one just a few minutes ago....told them they’d better start hitting the Medicare/SS and Tricare for the retired Military HARD or they were going to loose this battle. Girl said she’d pass the message along.

Code Red” - House Target List on Health Care

The National Republican Congressional Committee has published a target list on health care. In addition to continuing to contact the five Tennessee Democrat Congressmen, you can go http://www.votervoice.net/link/clickthrough/ext/94697.aspx to contact some of these targets. Much of the talk following Obama’s announcement has focused on how to defeat this second bill through reconciliation, but that is misleading because the first step to defeating Obamacare is not by concentrating on defeating the “fixer” bill but by defeating the Senate bill in the House when it goes to the floor for an up-or-down vote on Thursday, March 18th.
