The Vote Draws Near…
The last 2 posts have been out of the ordinary and have nothing to do with marketing. Yet they have everything to do with marketing. As a small business owner, do you know how the new bill will effect you?
I received this email from a group to which I am a subscriber. I am simply copying and pasting it in its entirety. The representatives the writer refers to are mine in the state of Alabama. Find out who yours are by doing a Google search!
President Obama’s artificial, dictatorial deadline is
growing closer. The reconciliation process is crashing
forward. The “fix” bill has been posted. The bogus
CBO “estimate” has been leaked in lieu of waiting for the
official report.
All this contrived flurry of activity and its timing was
designed for one purpose: To give the impression that
ObamaCare’s passage is inevitable. That’s why the White
House has Press Secretary Gibbs issuing statements like,
“Our healthcare reform bill will be the law of the land
on Sunday.” It’s political drama at its worst.
But regardless of the socialists’ stagecraft, I believe
that we can STILL stop ObamaCare!
Yesterday, Liberty Counsel delivered a letter
to Members of the House citing the
unconstitutionality of “deem and pass” in the
way the socialists are using it. We urged them
to obey the rule of law, stop this reprehensible,
unconstitutional process and say “No!” to ObamaCare.
As it stands right now, the Democrats do not have the
necessary votes to pass ObamaCare through the House using
constitutional means. If they did, they would have called
a vote a long time ago and the President would be touring Asia.
So, to no one’s surprise, they are going to use the
unconstitutional legislative maneuver nicknamed “The
Slaughter House Rule” to pass the Senate bill by merely
“deeming” it so.
Nancy Pelosi said, “We will do whatever is
necessary to pass a health-care bill.”
Republican Leader John Boehner said, “The
American people are saying, ?top!’ and they
are screaming at the top of their lungs.”
Those statements from House party leaders do a nice job of
framing the colossal political showdown that is scheduled
for the House of Representatives this weekend. Even long-time
political leaders and seasoned congressional reporters say
this could be the most significant political event in our lifetime.
++The heat and pressure are reaching biblical proportions.
The Obama/Reid/Pelosi axis of power is pressuring undecided
Democrats with staggering inducements and threatening
potential mavericks with merciless punishment.
For his part, President Obama - who once again postponed his
Asia trip to better serve as Arm-Twister-in-Chief - is saying
that what happens to his healthcare reform bill will make or
break his presidency. The stakes could not be higher.
But Mr. President and Speaker Pelosi, don’t your
recent losses in the states of Virginia, New
Jersey and Massachusetts come to mind? Why do
you INSIST on ignoring and marginalizing the
American people?
++When Nancy Pelosi says, “There will be no more deals,” look
for the real back-room dealing to begin!
Pro-ObamaCare politicians and organizations know this is a
“no holds barred” brawl coming to the final round of the
fight. Unfortunately, the Obama/Pelosi/Reid axis is
successfully flipping some votes by using intense pressure
and targeted pay-offs.
* Rep. Bart Gordon (D-TN), announced his support
for ObamaCare after Democrats installed a provision
that sends Tennessee hospitals higher Medicaid
payments than other states are getting.
* After a promise of an immigration reform bill,
Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-IL), announced his support
of ObamaCare.
As demonstrated by the Gutierrez deal, pay-offs will not be
limited to the healthcare reform battle. That’s why Speaker
Pelosi cheerfully exclaimed this week that when they kick down
the ObamaCare door, a lot of other initiatives can pass through,
as well.
++With Student Loans tacked on, it’s a two-for-one takeover.
Here is a brief list of additional consequences we can expect
if ObamaCare passes:
* In a last-minute “sweetener,” the government
will grab power from the insurance industry and
the student loan industry simultaneously. Banks
and lenders will be cut out of the guaranteed
student loan business, which of course will cost
jobs. If ObamaCare passes, the government will
become the sole source for federally guaranteed
student loans.
* Beginning in 2014, under the “individual mandate,”
Americans will be required to purchase insurance
or face stiff penalties for refusing.
* In an arrangement similar to KGB-style oppression,
ObamaCare will broaden IRS power, allowing that
agency to confiscate refunds or other payments
to Americans if there are unpaid penalties for
not buying “approved” healthcare insurance. The
IRS will have to hire tens of thousands of new
agents to enforce the law.
* The bill increases Medicare payroll taxes while
increasing Medicare cuts to over $500 billion.
Other tax hikes will be inevitable. The CBO’s
“estimated cost” of ObamaCare at under a trillion
dollars is tooth-fairy accounting, and wasn’t
even an official statement!
David, we are facing America’s fall into socialism.
ObamaCare itself, due to its “personal mandate to participate,”
is unconstitutional. The “deem and pass” process, coupled with
the so-called reconciliation process, is also unconstitutional.
The entire sordid strategy to force ObamaCare down America’s
throat strikes violently against the American rule of law!
++Congress MUST be made to hear OUR voice!
In these few remaining hours, we MUST counter the Left and
continue sending a powerful, focused message to each of our
own Representatives, wavering Members and pro-life Members
of the Congress.
Liberty Counsel’s FAX BARRAGE to Capitol Hill is telling
Congress, “NO TO OBAMACARE” and “NO TO THE SLAUGHTER HOUSE
RULE”!

on hold for an available line.

David, the bottom line is that ObamaCare will
adversely affect every American.
This monstrous bill will grotesquely expand the power of the
government over our individual lives and personal liberties,
take control of an additional one-sixth of the U.S. economy,
overtake two more industries, impose one of the largest
tax hikes in history, all in the middle of a recession.
Americans will be taxed for four years before any benefits
are enacted. Ten years of taxation for six years of
benefits - that is truly a “socialist deal”!
And, ObamaCare allows for the greatest expansion
of abortion since Roe v. Wade - all coercively
paid for by American tax payers like you and me.
Please, click below to send your faxes, even if you have
already done so many times during this battle. You can also
