Polititions Not Telling The Truth

Congress Needs to Hear From You – Now! A special message from Robert Knight While Rep. Joe Wilson’s (R-S.C) outburst of "You lie!" during President Obama’s speech Wednesday night to Congress on health care wasn’t the most diplomatic statement, the president indeed made many claims that cannot withstand scrutiny. Let’s take a look at just a few: "Nothing in this plan will require you or your employer to change the coverage or the doctor you have. Let me repeat this: nothing in our plan requires you to change what you have." Several studies report that the proposal will cause millions to lose the coverage they have now. The Urban Institute estimates 47 million, and the Lewin Group as many as 114 million. That’s because Obama’s "public option" or co-ops and related schemes will quickly destroy the private insurance market. "There are also those who claim that our reform effort will insure illegal immigrants. This, too, is false—the reforms I'm proposing would not apply to those who are here illegally." None of the bills requires people to verify their citizenship or identity before receiving taxpayer-subsidized benefits. Besides, proponents claim that "47 to 50 million Americans are without health insurance." That figure includes up to 11 million illegal aliens. "Under our plan, no federal dollars will be used to fund abortions, and federal conscience laws will remain in place." The National Right to Life Committee has shown explicitly how the bill will lead to federal funds paying for abortions through any government-run health plan. For one thing, the Hyde Amendment, which bars federal funds for abortion, would not apply to the areas where the health funds would be disbursed. "As the Associated Press accurately reported in its August 5, 2009, analysis, ‘A law called the Hyde amendment applies the [abortion] restrictions to Medicaid . . . [But] The health overhaul would create a stream of federal funding not covered by the restrictions.’" "I will not sign a plan that adds one dime to our deficits—either now or in the future. Period." The non-partisan Congressional Budget Office estimates that ObamaCare would increase the federal deficit by $239 billion over 10 years and "would probably generate substantial increases in federal budget deficits" thereafter. A study by the Peter G. Peterson Foundation released this week found that after a decade, ObamaCare would increase federal deficits by another $1 trillion. Stop this Madness in the Making! The Wall Street Journal editorial page, which has had a tutorial nearly every day about what is actually in the 1,013-page House bill and the new Senate "compromise" version offered by Sen. Max Baucus (D-Mont.), summarized the president’s Wednesday night goal: "Mr. Obama's speech was less about persuading the public than it was a political pep talk to this Beltway constituency. He hopes to buy enough political breathing space with a bump in the polls—however short-lived—to steel their nerves to power ObamaCare into law. The only way to stop it now is with a giant wave of popular opposition." That’s why I hope you’ll tell your congressman and senators that you don’t want any of the current proposals and for them to start over, period! The congressional switchboard number is (202) 224-3121 or (202) 225-3121. Please call or email your representative and senators now to voice opposition to this dangerous bill.

created by our friends at RapidResponse Media.

Already posted on the Internet, our ads have touched off
a tremendous buzz across the nation...imagine the response
when they are airing in our nation’s capital! I have no
doubt it will increase the furor to free Ramos and Compean
to a fever pitch...

But to ensure that we can maintain this level of intensity--
which I believe will motivate the President to do the right
thing, I need the help of every member of our team, Michael.

+ + Most Americans haven’t heard the Ramos/Compean story

While it may seem hard to believe, the vast
majority of Americans have no idea of the injustice done
to Ramos and Compean.

Yesterday, while working to place the ads in DC, an
advertising representative asked Ron De Jong about Ramos
and Compean. After Ron explained how our nation had
betrayed these agents and given preferential treatment
to a life-long, illegal alien drug smuggler for his
testimony against two border agents (treatment that
included a green card, free medical care and immunity),
the representative became incensed.

"How come I never heard about this? This is so wrong!" he said.

That is why we need to take this message across the nation,
Michael. So many people have never heard about this
tragedy.

Help me get this story out to the nation by making a
special gift of any amount. Simply click here to:

War protesters allowed to spray paint the U.S. Capitol

Capitol Chief of Police tell officers not to arrest anyone

During last Saturday's Washington rally protesting the war in Iraq, hundreds of anti-war protesters were allowed to desecrate government property by spray painting the Capitol with anarchist symbols. I did not see or hear any report of this in any of the mainline media outlets!

Capitol Police Chief Phillip Morse ordered his officers to fall back and allow the protesters to exercise what he called "their First Amendment rights" to spray paint the Capitol steps with graffiti. Defending his actions, Morse said, "The graffiti was easily removed by the staff. It is our duty and responsibility to protect the Capitol complex, while allowing the public to exercise their freedom of speech." He even ordered his officers not to arrest anyone!

The war protesters were given access and leniency to deface government property. According to Family Research Council, public employees had to come in on their day off, at taxpayers' expense, to clean up the mess the protesters left behind.

To see comments on this issue by Sen. Wayne Allard of Colorado, click here.

The Capitol Chief of Police takes his orders directly from Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, one of the demonstrators' most outspoken allies!

Take Action

E-mail Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and ask that she take action to have those who spray painted our Capitol arrested. Furthermore, she should publicly state that this kind of activity will not be condoned in the future. If you desire to speak with her office in addition to sending the e-mail, her direct number is 202-225-4965. Forward this e-mail to your friends and family and ask that they take action.

If you think our efforts are worthy, would you please support us with a small gift? Thank you for caring enough to get involved.

Sincerely,

Donald E. Wildmon, Founder and Chairman
American Family Association
