So the White House wants to know if any of your friends or neighbors are resisting the party line on Obama Care: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. Jon Henke follows up with the logical question: "What, exactly, does the White House plan to do with this information?" An excellent question that hopefully gets answered … [Read more...]

Video: Exposing Obama Care Agenda to Destroy Private Health Insurance
Still have any lingering doubts that Barack Obama and the Democrats in Congress plan to destroy -- albeit gradually -- private health insurance and bring about single-payer government health-care with the so-called "Public Option"? Then take two minutes and watch this: Then realize either how completely ignorant or utterly disingenuous my Democratic Congressman Ed Perlmutter is when he responds to me with a letter that includes this brief paragraph:Public Option- By introducing a public option, Americans will have more choices for their health care needs. If they like their current plan, they will be able to keep it, but this provides another choice in healthcare to those who don't have it, or who can't afford it. Also, let's add … [Read more...]
Quick Hits: Clear the Bench, Crumbling Bridges and Dem Polls, Cool July
Rather than take the time to write a substantial, coherent post on any one topic on this Friday, July 31 -- the birthday of the late, great Milton Friedman -- I offer you four quick hits to amuse, inspire, frustrate, and activate. Without further ado: … [Read more...]
Wrapping Up Colorado’s Well-Attended Rallies Against Obama Care Takeover
El Presidente at Slapstick Politics followed up Tuesday's top-notch coverage of the anti-Obama Care rally in Denver with links to Wednesday's action further north and south along Colorado's Front Range. Andrew Boucher has the lowdown on the Fort Collins showdown that saw more than three times as many activists out in opposition to the government health care takeover than their counterparts. Another source tells me that about 1,200 people showed up to protest Obama Care in Colorado Springs. You can find pictures from the event posted here. Makes you wonder if our elected officials are paying any heed. … [Read more...]
Contact Your Congressman Today: Vote NO on HR 3200 Obama Care
Update 3: Also a good article about the rally in the Gazette. And guess who was out and about peeping near the State Capitol? Update 2: Slapstick Politics has the best visual coverage of the anti-Obamacare rally earlier today -- not that I could hope to generate for his site even a modest fraction of the traffic produced by an Instalanche. And, oh yeah, the Denver Post has a story, too. Update: Alex at Colorado Political News also has posted his letter to Perlmutter opposing the government health care takeover in HR 3200. Let's hear from some more Colorado bloggers! And if you want to shout, and not just write, don't forget about the rally at the Colorado State Capitol at 11:30 AM. Now is the time to write your Congressman and … [Read more...]
Obama Approval Numbers — and Hopefully Obama Care — Sinking Fast
Popular opinion is fickle. It seems highly likely that Barack Obama will at some point cross over 50 percent approval like he did during his first six months in office. But if he keeps arrogantly following the path of socialist policies and foot-in-mouth disease, don't expect it to occur anytime soon. Rasmussen reports that Obama has a 49 percent approval rating and has a net-minus 11 among those with strongly held opinions. John Hawkins at Right Wing News declared yesterday "Upside Down Day". As long as President Obama has lashed his political capital to the ship of government medical overhaul, I hope his numbers continue to plummet. … [Read more...]
Michael Bennet’s Silence on Health Care Tax Matches Record of Hollowness
In its latest release, the Ryan Frazier for U.S. Senate campaign effectively goes after a weak link in incumbent appointee Michael Bennet's political armor:GOP Senatorial candidate Ryan Frazier today asked why Senator Michael Bennet has not stood up to the Democratic Congressional Leadership in Washington to protect Colorado small businesses and jobs from being destroyed due to an expensive surtax being proposed to help pay for President Obama’s health care reform legislation. The Democratic Congressional leadership has proposed a 5.4 percent surtax on families making more than $350,000 a year, or individuals earning $280,000, to pay for health care reform. “A proposed surtax to pay for health care reform will place an enormous … [Read more...]
Keep Up the Good Fight for Health Care Freedom and Fiscal Sanity
Update: Michael at Best Destiny also has a great take on last night's Obama press conference -- "Color me unimpressed." President Obama's press conference last night didn't exactly bowl them over. With the plummeting support for the government health care Trojan horse plan before Congress, it will be interesting to see if last night moves the needle on public support at all. Great takes on the presser come from Ace of Spades' Gabriel Malor, Allahpundit at Hot Air, and the editors of National Review. Meanwhile, the Wall Street Journal points out Obama's use of Chicago-style intimidation politics behind the scenes to move the government health care takeover forward. But whichever way the political winds may seem to be blowing at the … [Read more...]
Video: Health Administration Bureau Wants to Ration “The Best” for You
The YouTube hits bashing the serious problems with Obama Care just keep on coming. First, there was the Independence Institute video of the problem with health care mandates for the young, with the scene of Justin's bike getting hit by the bus. Then there was Steven Crowder's hilarious 20-minute undercover documentary of the tremendous deficiencies in the Canadian health care system. Now there's the introduction of the "Health Administration Bureau" with its effectively stylized -- read "funny because it's true" -- introductory video (below the fold): … [Read more...]
