President Obama is in a hurry

Why President Obama is in a hurry to get health care passed July 27, 2009 Dear Michael, I thought you would be interested in the article by Ben Stein printed below. As Mr. Stein says, our freedoms are on the line. Call your Representative today and tell him or her that you oppose the Obama health care bill. The House will be voting on this bill probably early this week. So your call now is very important. The number is 202-224-3121. That is the Capitol Switchboard. Ask to speak with your Representative and you will be put through. If you don't know your Representative, give your Zip Code and they will connect you. Sincerely, Donald E. Wildmon, Founder and Chairman American Family Association The American Spectator July 24, 2009 By Ben Stein We've Figured Him Out Why is President Barack Obama in such a hurry to get his socialized medicine bill passed? Because he and his cunning circle realize some basic truths: The American people in their unimaginable kindness and trust voted for a pig in a poke in 2008. They wanted so much to believe Barack Obama was somehow better and different from other ultra-leftists that they simply took him on faith. They ignored his anti-white writings in his books. They ignored his quiet acceptance of hysterical anti-American diatribes by his minister, Jeremiah Wright. They ignored his refusal to explain years at a time of his life as a student. They ignored his ultra-left record as a "community organizer," Illinois state legislator, and Senator. The American people ignored his total zero of an academic record as a student and teacher, his complete lack of scholarship when he was being touted as a scholar. Now, the American people are starting to wake up to the truth. Barack Obama is a super likeable super leftist, not a fan of this country, way, way too cozy with the terrorist leaders in the Middle East, way beyond naïveté, all the way into active destruction of our interests and our allies and our future. The American people have already awakened to the truth that the stimulus bill -- a great idea in theory -- was really an immense bribe to Democrat interest groups, and in no way an effort to help all Americans. Now, Americans are waking up to the truth that ObamaCare basically means that every time you are sick or injured, you will have a clerk from the Department of Motor Vehicles telling your doctor what he can and cannot do. The American people already know that Mr. Obama's plan to lower health costs while expanding coverage and bureaucracy is a myth, a promise of something that never was and never will be -- a bureaucracy lowering costs in a free society. Either the costs go up or the free society goes away. These are perilous times. Mrs. Hillary Clinton, our Secretary of State, has given Iran the go-ahead to have nuclear weapons, an unqualified betrayal of the nation. Now, we face a devastating loss of freedom at home in health care. It will be joined by controls on our lives to "protect us" from global warming, itself largely a fraud if believed to be caused by man. Mr. Obama knows Americans are getting wise and will stop him if he delays at all in taking away our freedoms. There is his urgency and our opportunity. Once freedom is lost, America is lost. Wake up, beloved America. Ben Stein is a writer, actor, economist, and lawyer living in Beverly Hills and Malibu. He writes "Ben Stein's Diary" for every issue of The American Spectator.

ObamaCare will force you to pay for abortions

Mathew Staver, Founder and Chairman

President Obama and socialists in Congress are moving at breakneck
speed to pass a socialized health care plan that will be devastating
to our freedoms, our economy and our families. The huge cost
and loss of freedoms are reasons enough to oppose it.

But now we see that ObamaCare will mandate coverage of
abortions -- requiring you and me to pay for abortions with
our tax dollars!

In effect, abortion advocates are trying to get FOCA (the
notorious Freedom of Choice Act) smuggled through Congress!
And they are calling abortion-mill operators like Planned
Parenthood "essential health care providers." This is outrageous!

A Senate Committee has already flatly rejected an amendment
offered by Sen. Orrin Hatch that would have prohibited taxpayer
funding of abortions in ObamaCare. And the House bill has no
prohibitions whatsoever on taxpayer funding of abortions.

ObamaCare will require you and me to pay for abortions...plus,
millions of businesses will be forced to offer abortion
coverage to their employees even if it violates their
owners' deeply held beliefs!

And what about Christian doctors and nurses? Won't they
be forced to participate in abortion through ObamaCare?

President Obama is trying to hide from these tough questions,
but this is precisely what Candidate Obama pledged to Planned
Parenthood in 2007 -- that he would mandate coverage for
"reproductive services" (i.e. abortion) if elected President.

+ + Tell Congress: "I Reject this Abortion Funding Mandate!"

I am fed up with the Obama-Pelosi-Reid mad dash to socialism --
and the devastating impact it will have on our economy, our
families and the fate of the unborn.

This proposal would mark the single greatest expansion of
abortion since the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision! It would make
abortion universally "covered" and funded by taxpayers!

That's why I am asking you to take a stand with me and
say "NO!" to coercive taxpayer funding of abortions!

Go here to sign the petition:

We have already rallied nearly 80,000 citizens to oppose this
and other similar efforts to force taxpayers to pay for abortions.

We launched our campaign to oppose the notorious Freedom of
Choice Act (FOCA) within hours of the president taking office.
Now, ObamaCare has become the "Stealth FOCA"!

ObamaCare accomplishes most of the main goals of FOCA in
mandating that abortion be offered and requiring taxpayers
to pay.

I want to deliver over 100,000 petitions to Congress in the next
few days. The timing is urgent! But I need your help. Please
sign to be included in this delivery and then forward this message
to as many of your friends as possible.

Again, Obama's stated goal is to mandate abortion coverage in
ObamaCare and force you and me to pay for abortions. We must
stand strong against this abomination.

Thank you again, and God bless you.

P.S. This has been Obama's plan all along -- in 2007 he pledged
to Planned Parenthood that his health care plan would mandate
abortion coverage. At all cost, we must say "NO!" to taxpayer
funding of abortions and make it stick. Go here:
