Obama wants you to lose weight: “Cut the butter & cream. Hide the French fries. Make carrots the default choice! Substitute wheat pasta for white pasta..”
LIBERALS WANT TO CONTROL THE INTERNET A Power Grab Called ‘Net Neutrality’:
“Diversity czar Mark Lloyd’s FCC votes Thursday on the issue of net neutrality. Advertised as providing access to all, it will do to the information superhighway what Lloyd proposed for talk radio…
In the name of providing access to the downtrodden victims of corporate greed, the FCC proposes to take unto itself the power to regulate how Internet providers manage their networks and serve their customers. The FCC would decide how and what information could flow through the Internet.”
“In Venezuela, with Chavez, is really an incredible revolution – a democratic revolution. To begin to put in place things that are going to have an impact on the people of Venezuela.
“The property owners and the folks who then controlled the media in Venezuela rebelled – worked, frankly, with folks here in the U.S. government – worked to oust him. But he came back with another revolution, and then Chavez began to take very seriously the media in his country.”
Despite the rain & lightning, thousands of patriots came to protest against ObamaCare. Then, the sun came out shining……That’s a good omen.
Miami protest against Obama’s health care When was it: Saturday, August 22, 2009, 4:00 PM Where at: Intersection of S.W. 87th Avenue and 40th Street (Bird Road), Miami, Florida 33155 Google Map
The amendments to ObamaCare prove that Obama & Democrats are lying.
The Democrat-majority in Congress rejected amendments to help Obama keep his promises that his health care reform won’t hurt Americans (i.e., no government control, no tax increases, no deficit increase, no funding for abortion, no benefits to illegals, etc, etc.)
OBAMACARE WON’T ALLOW YOU TO ENROLL IN PRIVATE INSURANCE:
Americans would be prohibited by law from enrolling in a private individual health insurance plan and would be forced by the federal government to buy a different health plan in the national Health Insurance Exchange.
The Democrats’ bill says that beginning in 2013 the health plans that provide coverage for Americans enrolled in individual market health plans could no longer enroll new members.
Amendment to allow Americans to choose private coverage:BLOCKED
Presently, all government-subsidized health care plans (SCHIP, DOD, Medicaid, etc.) prohibit abortion coverage. In HR3200 & Senate bills, there are no provisions that would prevent federal officials from mandating that health insurance plans include abortion services. There is nothing to prevent the Secretary of HHS from including abortion coverage since the decisions over benefits are left to the Secretary of HHS and to a newly created Health Care Benefits Advisory Committee. Based on the failure of anti-abortion amendments, taxpayers would end up financing abortion since the federal government could mandate that abortions be covered by health insurance plans available through the national health insurance exchange.
Amendments to prevent taxpayer-financed abortion:BLOCKED
● Amendment from Rep. Lois Capps (D-CA) to require at least one insurance plan to cover abortion in each geographical region, to cover ALL abortion services, and allow affordability credits (taxpayer-funded subsidies) to be used for health insurance plans that cover abortions.
OBAMACARE NOT DEFICIT NEUTRAL
ObamaCare will increase the deficit: According to the CBO’s and JCT’s assessment enacting H.R. 3200 would result in a net increase in the federal budget deficit of $239 billion over the 2010-2019 period. What’s wrong with high deficits? The CBO director explains:“Large budget deficits would reduce national saving, leading to more borrowing from abroad and less domestic investment, which in turn would depress economic growth in the United States. Over time, accumulating debt would cause substantial harm to the economy.”
Amendment to keep ObamaCare deficit neutral:BLOCKED
To help Obama keep his promise that his health care reform will not add to the deficit, these Congressmen proposed these amendments:
● Amendment from Rep. Patrick Tiberi (R-OH) to require the Secretary of HHS to submit an annual report to the President and Congress, comparing the expected revenue and spending under the bill’s provisions for the upcoming 10-year period. ● Amendment from Rep. Tom McClintock (R-CA) to prevent major provisions of the bill from being enacted/implemented, if the Director of the Office of Management and Budget found that they were not deficit-neutral.
OBAMACARE WILL HURT EMPLOYEES, BUSINESSES, & THE ECONOMY
The House bill has an employer “pay-or-play” mandate, which include a tax on employers of up to 8 percent if they do not offer a federally approved benefits package to their workers. Taxes on employers are generally passed on to employees in reduced wages or other compensation, including job loss.
Amendments to protect jobs:BLOCKED
● Amendment from Rep. Pete Hoekstra (R-MI) to suspend employer mandate provisions if the national unemployment rate equaled or exceeded 8% for 2 consecutive months ● Amendment from Rep. Sam Johnson (R-TX) to strike new tax increases in the bill: (i.e., an 8% payroll tax on employers who can’t afford to offer health insurance to their employers; offer health coverage to their employees but government considers it “insufficient”; offer “sufficient” coverage but the employee enrolls through a spouse’s employer; or aren’t paying at least 72.5% of an employee’s premium)
(Democrats defeated it: 26-15)
OBAMACARE = GOVERNMENT INTRUSION, CONTROL & RATIONING
The House bill calls for increased Comparative Effectiveness Research (CER) to gather data & determine which treatments are the most cost-effective. Government officials may be able to use CER to make payment, treatment, and coverage decisions.
Amendment against government making medical decisions; government rationing & control:BLOCKED
● Amendment from Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-IL) to put the government in control of setting prices for insurance premiums for seniors’ prescription drug coverage, placing a government price cap on premiums, and allow the Secretary of HHS to “negotiate” the drug prices in Medicare Part D and Medicare Advantage plans.
OBAMACARE = LONG WAITS
Federal officials may resort to rationing care and controlling access to physicians to save money. Based on the experience of other countries, this process would result in long wait times for patients. The Brady amendment failed on a straight party-line vote.
Amendment to protect Americans from long wait times:BLOCKED
● Amendment from Rep. Kevin Brady (R-TX) to eliminate the public plan if its enrollees experienced longer wait times than in private health plans. These people would then be able to enroll in private health plans offered on the Health Insurance Exchange.
OBAMACARE WILL COVER ILLEGALS
The House bill does not offer clear guidelines to ensure that illegal immigrants cannot access taxpayer-funded health care benefits.
It will be unsustainable to give benefit to millions of illegals already in the U.S. and the many millions to come if Obama passes his open-border immigration reform.
The Heller amendment failed on a straight party-line vote.
Amendment to keep illegals out of ObamaCare:BLOCKED
Bill proposes reductions to Medicare Advantage (MA)
Amendment to stop the payment reductions to Medicare Advantage (MA) plans:BLOCKED
● Amendment from Rep. Mike Rogers (R-MI) to prevent the House bill’s MA reductions from being implemented unless the Secretary of HHS could certify that those provisions would not cause seniors to lose their current MA plans or be forced to switch plans
Amendment for government to set prices in Medicare:PASSED
● Amendment from Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-IL) to put the government in control of setting prices for insurance premiums for seniors’ prescription drug coverage, placing a government price cap on premiums, and allow the Secretary of HHS to “negotiate” the drug prices in Medicare Part D and Medicare Advantage plans.
MEMBERS OF CONGRESS WON’T ENROLL IN OBAMACARE
If ObamaCare is so good, why members of Congress, Senate & Obama Administration will be exempted from getting ObamaCare?
This Heller amendment failed, with 21 Democrats voting no.
Amendment to require Congress to enroll in ObamaCare:BLOCKED
Here is how easy it will be for Obamacare to lead to single-payer (a.k.a state-run, government-run health care, universal, co-op….whatever name they give to it, it’s about government control)
Amendment to adopt a state-based system of socialized medicine:PASSED
● Stop the government-run health plan ● Prohibit new taxes until Medicare fraud rate is reduced to below 1% ● Prevent bureaucrats from making personal medical decisions for patients ● Establish a $1 trillion deficit cap ● Waive the employer mandate if it will cause layoffs, worker salary cuts, or reductions in hiring ● Protect employers from unfair taxation ● Protect employers who offer health care coverage to their workers ● Create small business health plans ● Require the government-run plan to operate under the same rules as private health plans ● Specify that Congress should read the health care bill before voting on it ● Keep President Obama’s tax pledge not to raise taxes ● Ensure that workers who like their current health plan can keep it ● Ensure Americans cannot be forced into a government-run health care plan ● Stop seniors from being stripped of their health care choices ● Prohibit unfair advantages for government-run health plan ● Keep the federal government from choosing “favored” physicians ● Allow states to opt out ● Slow Medicare’s march toward bankruptcy

Update October 22, 2009: Democrat Senator Nelson with Greta van Susteren: Nelson: “You didn’t hear about ALL my townhall meetings because most of them were very polite, very orderly, but you heard about one of them…at the Greater Miami Chamber of Commerce”
ALL his townhall meetings!!?? We, his constituency, were requesting townhall meetings with him during the August recess and he decided to travel “as a member of the intelligence committee” and evade us.
Now, he coldly demonizes his constituency as “the political extreme.”
Violence? Nelson concentrates on one outlier incident of aggression and demonizes the rest of townhall meetings and protests. Below is the original report of citizens in front of his office requesting for townhall meeting. You be the judge.
This is what really happened:
Posted by FactReal on August 14, 2009
August 13, 2009: Rally against Obama’s health care in Miami/Coral Gables.
DEMOCRAT BILL NELSON NO SHOW.
5 to 1 ratio protestors against ObamaCare than in favor
Although Miamians have been requesting a town hall meeting with Senator Bill Nelson, he decided it’s better to be “traveling as a member of the intelligence committee” rather than meet with his constituency and talk about ObamaCare.
Protest Against ObamaCare When was it: Thursday, August 13th, 2009; 3-6PM Where at: Senator Nelson’s Coral Gables office:
2925 Salzedo Street, Coral Gables, FL 33134 (Map)
The Obama’s troops (PDF) came but were surrounded & drowned out by patriots protesting against ObamaCare. (scroll down for their pictures)
Ah! Obama troops left at 5:PM sharp….that’s when their rent-a-mob fee probably expired.
Where is Sen. Nelson?
B.O.L.O.: Sen. Nelson
If you see me, remind me
my voters want a town
hall meeting with me
Voters to Sen. Nelson
THE ANTI-OBAMACARE CROWD DOMINATED THE SCENE
Patriots against Obamacare took the sidewalk across Senator Nelson’s office
and the 3 adjacent street corners.
AND THE OBAMA TROOPS?A VERY SMALL GROUP…
…despite using the my.BarackObama.com site & airwaves to promote the side of their event
The Obamistas took the sidewalk right at Senator Nelson’s office but did not have enough people to fill
their adjacent street corner.
SUDDENTLY THE OBAMISTAS LEFT AT 5:00PM
The anti-ObamaCare patriots stayed about an hour longer.
Obviously, concern about your homeland last longer than paid-to-play.
The Obamistas protest-meter run out of $$$ by 5PM
Only these 3 Obamista ladies stayed a bit longer
THE MEDIA WENT OUT OF ITS WAY TO GET THE NECESSARY ANGLE TO CAPTURE THE OBAMISTAS
Even though the Obamistas were a diminutive group (1/5) compared to those against ObamaCare
Camera across the street to capture the Obamistas
over this reporter’s shoulder
Interviewing the Obamistas
The cameraman came across the street to our side
so he can capture the Obamistas
Here is the cameraman’s target: The Obamistas small group.
They interview some on our side…but not with the same gusto.

From the White House website:
(http://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/Facts-Are-Stubborn-Things/) There is a lot of disinformation about health insurance reform out there, spanning from control of personal finances to end of life care. These rumors often travel just below the surface via chain emails or through casual conversation. Since we can’t keep track of all of them here at the White House, we’re asking for your help. If you get an email or see something on the web about health insurance reform that seems fishy, send it to flag@whitehouse.gov.
Snapshot of WHITE HOUSE site requesting INFORMANTS
MESSAGE TO OBAMA’S INFORMANTS & SNITCHES….
Please feel free to send these links to the White House. We knew you were coming. (We have been tracking what liberals said about censorship – scroll down for a sampling.)
WE ARE NOT AFRAID!!
OBAMA AFRAID OF HIS OWN WORDS
Here is the video Obama doesn’t want Americans to see:
SHOCK UNCOVERED: Obama IN HIS OWN WORDS admitting his Health Care Plan will ELIMINATE private insurance.
OBAMA AND THE DEMOCRATS HEATH CARE GOAL IS A PUBLIC OPTION THAT WILL ULTIMATELY ELIMINATE PRIVATE EMPLOYER PROVIDED INSURANCE.
S.E.I.U. forum on health care 3/24/07: Obama, Barney Frank, Jan Schakowsky all admitting a public option will put the private insurance industry out of business.
(Video by Naked Emperor News)
The White House is using your tax dollars to go after the Drudge Report for linking to the Naked Emperor News video compilation of Obama and other Dems telegraphing how their “health care reforms” will lead to single payer.
LEFTISTS RECORD ON CENSORSHIP & CONTROL THEY HAVE BEEN TELLING US THEY WOULD DESTROY FREEDOM OF SPEECH THE PLAN: Liberals want to reinstall censorship (aka “Fairness Doctrine”) THE OBJECTIVE: To silence opposing views TROJAN HORSE: They gives innocent sounding names to their Machiavelian plans: “Fairness Doctrine” (which is actually Censorship)
● ‘Fairness’ Doctrine & Erick Holder, Obama’s Attorney General
● Center for American Progress (the brain behind the Obama Administration): The Structural Imbalance of Political Talk Radio
● FCC Commissioner Robert McDowell previewed …the Left’s next line of attack at a speech…. He warned that when the left comes to silence Rush and other Obama critics, they will not be dumb enough to try and do it under the label Fairness Doctrine. He even suggested that a stealth version of the doctrine may already be teed up at the FCC in the form of “Localism” rules which empower community advisory boards to help dictate local programming.
“Clearly the left believe they can get Republicans to sacrifice their principles by demonizing and isolating Rush Limbaugh. So much for that new era of bipartisanship.” (The Foundry)
Attacking Rush is just the beginning.
Is this part of Obama’s unity plan – insinuating that GOP leaders are mindless robots following Limbaugh’s orders? We wish the Republicans were listening to Rush!! Is Obama projecting? Is he forgetting his Obama-robots who swallowed all his empty demagogic slogans since they get their ‘news’ from John Stewart at Comedy Central?
