"Obamacare" -- NO!

The Baucus healthcare reform plan is chock-full of provisions calling for new government mandates, higher taxes, increased spending and government-dictated, rationed health care.

In fact, it’s so bad that Senate Minority Whip Jon Kyl said of Baucus’ plan: “This is a stunning assault on liberty!”

As previously stated, the Baucus bill hasn’t even been written yet, much less read by the Senators who are doing the negotiating.

It’s nothing more than a 200-plus-page shell of ideas to be rammed down the throats of the American people with all deliberate speed... before you and other concerned Americans have the time to find out what hit you.

Senator Lindsay Graham, speaking on FOX News, probably gave the best explanation of what exactly is going on: “[T]he Baucus bill… literally changes everyday… we’re making this up as we go… they’re trying to buy votes… the vision here is to pass something… they don’t give a damn what it is and nobody understands what they’re doing.”

These so-called leaders just don’t get it. Republicans and Democrats are quibbling over what type of government-run health care they believe to be best for you and your family and no one is fighting for the American people.

The words is out... the game is played... the man behind the curtain has been exposed... and it's now as plain as the nose on your face. Obama and the leftists in Congress don't want you to know what's in ObamaCare... they just made it clear that they just may try to hide all the sordid details from you.

But what's even worse, Obama and the leftists in Congress may even be trying to muzzle, and intimidate, those who dare to speak out against ObamaCare.

It's becoming more and more apparent that Obama and the leftists in Congress don’t want the American people to know... or read... or hear anything negative about ObamaCare... and that they may be willing to shut-down debate by any means necessary.

One thing is certain, Obama and the leftists in Congress are leaving the door wide open to enact ObamaCare in the dead of night... under the cover of darkness... shove it down our throats before any of us are any the wiser.

When Senator Jim Bunning offered an amendment that would have required that the language of the bill be made available to the American people 72 hours prior to a vote, Democrats on the Senate Finance Committee squashed it.

Michael Franc, writing for the Heritage Foundation’s blog, The Foundry gives us the sordid and sickening details:

“During the Senate Finance Committee mark up of the Baucus health bill … Senator Bunning of Kentucky put forth an innovative amendment. This amendment stipulated that before voting on the measure in Committee, legislative language would have to be accessible to the public for 72 hours and that the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) would need to publish an official tally of how much this bill will cost the American people and what the real impact will be on health costs."

Franc continued:

“The amendment failed 11-12 on nearly a party line vote. Senator Blanche Lincoln (AR) was the sole Democrat to support this attempt at transparency. The bottom line: when the committee completes its work on this re-make of one-sixth of our economy, Senators will have voted on a phantom - a bill that does not exist with costs that are unknowable until, that is, the unelected legislative draftsmen write the real bill in some back room on Capitol Hill.”

If nothing else that has transpired up to this point has convinced you that ObamaCare must be rejected... thrown aside... taken off the table... these shenanigans should.

It's time to tell our elected officials that no good can come from ObamaCare... that's it's rotten to the core... and that it must be scrapped.

We need every person reading this urgent appeal to use their letters, faxes and phones and barrage Barack Hussein Obama and each and every member of the United States Senate with your personal messages. Make no mistake, you're not going to change America with a couple of faxes or letters or phone calls only directed at your two Senators. Each of us needs to barrage each and every one of these Senators with a mountain of objections. They all need to see that the American people are united. Only then will they wake up and smell the coffee.

Tell them that you believe that the only thing keeping ObamaCare alive is the willingness of some Republicans to negotiate and that ObamaCare would be defeated once and for all if they all stood firm in total opposition to ObamaCare. Tell them that no amount of so-called "compromise" will make government-run health care acceptable to the American people. Let them know that if they spent the same amount of energy to defeat ObamaCare as they are spending negotiating, the job would be done. Demand, once and for all, that they stop negotiating and win this fight against socialized health care for the American people.

The American people for months have been sending the message loud and clear that they want no part of ObamaCare, period, regardless of what form it takes. The American people have been telling politicians in Washington that no amount of so-called "compromise" will make Obama’s government-run health care scheme acceptable or palatable.

It’s time for these politicians to finally get the message. The American people do not want them to “fix” ObamaCare… no more so-called “ObamaCare compromises”… the American people want ObamaCare gone… never to be heard from again.

The bills the public has been allowed to see have placed taxes on the poor, the middle class and the wealthy. Yet Obama continues to say, “My plan will not tax the citizens a single dime.”

The bills the public has been allowed to see allocate certain amounts of those taxes to pay for abortions. Yet Obama continues to say, “My plan will not use a single dime for abortions.”

Obama also says, “My plan will make healthcare affordable for every American. If they like their health plan and want to keep it they can.” Sure they can… for a price. What Obama fails to say is that he doesn’t have a plan!

I believe Obama and Congress have been working in concert to come up with a multitude of healthcare bills each of which has such complicated language or so many different plans for different incomes that the public ALWAYS finds something objectionable. By doing so, Obama (who has pledged to pass a healthcare bill this year) will ram through his version (“Obamacare”) which will be a single-payer, Medicare-like, government-funded plan. The exact type of plan he claims he didn’t want but planned on getting passed from the beginning.

After this plan breaks Medicare, the government plan will be the only plan available. “Obamacare” will be everything no one in their right mind wanted. His ideas about education are the same. Force all schools to attend year-‘round. This will break every state’s tax system so that schools will all be federally funded. By one estimate, year-‘round schooling would increase spending on education by more than $1,300/day for each student, and that’s only in Massachusetts.

In my opinion it’s the first step in doing away with our Constitution. The Democrats in Massachusetts changed their constitution in 2004 so that then Gov. Mitt Romney could NOT name a replacement for Sen. John Kerry when he ran for the presidency. Now they’ve changed that state’s constitution BACK so the people can not choose a replacement for Ted Kennedy. Because there is now a democratic Governor, they changed it back so he CAN name a replacement for Kennedy.

The first Constitutional assault was on the Massachusetts constitution. Passing ANY bill without allowing the public to read it would be the second assault made, this time on the U.S. Constitution. The next assault may be to do away with our Constitution entirely. Can we stop them?
