Here is my letter to editors of several MI newspapers:  The proof is in the pudding.  In order to assure health insurance for 10% of us, President Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, and Harry Reed now control 100% of Americans.  This is not about health care, but further government take-over of Americans.  We must fire all Democrats in November, and thank the Republicans for standing firm.  Included in this bill, by the way, is what campaigning Obama said he wanted: "We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives we’ve set. We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful..."  (More on that later next week)
Here is something we all can do:  let your voice be heard by contacting the Detroit News, the Detroit Free Press or the Grand Rapids Press, the Traverse City Record Eagle and the Petoskey News Review.You could chose one of the following email addresses or links and send them a letter-to-the-editor explaining why you support the fight to overturn Obamacare!

[I have listened to the entire interview with John Dingell by now, after being accused of taking his words out of context concerning government CONTROL of 300 million people.  I have not changed my mind.  He said that he really wanted a Single Payer system, but he helped to pass this bill because this is, and I'll quote: "Incremental progress which meets the ability of [a slight majority of] Congress to accept." He is admitting that he hopes, as many others politicians have admitted, that this is just a way to open the door to getting the single payer system. The truth sometimes seems inflammatory, but we deserve to get the truth:  it is good that we all really get a chance to hear what our politicians are saying, hoping and working for.  If we had really paid attention to the quotes of our President during his campaign, for instance, we would have known that he really did have the intent to, in his own words "fundamentally transform" America as he promised, not just be a good steward of the greatest land of opportunity in the world.  In order for the Congressional Budget Office to say this will "save" us money, they had to score it with us paying for it for 4 years prior to when it begins - all the time paying for our current insurance as well.  It didn't even take 4 days for businesses across America to figure out that it will cost them billions, and that cost will trickle down to Americans.  Does it not seem curious to you that in 4 years, when the Democrats actually thought that the toll it might take on America would begin, our President and all Democrats will have had a chance to already be reelected?  Do you never question the wisdom and words of politicians?  All those good changes we keep hearing about could have been passed into law without government control over us all.

My intent is to bring the news which our paper does not cover, as local papers have refused to even run some letters to the editor, because it is not the message they want the readers to hear.  I let the readers decide what to do with it - other than giving them inspiration to get out of their easy chairs to actually do something to turn the tide, and especially to vote this fall.  We shall not be the Silent Majority any longer.  Decades of liberals skewing our public school education to worship Socialism (and Che and Fidel) instead of small government and free enterprise has taken it's toll on young people who now believe America is bad.]

Fox News reports, by the way: Powerhouse student loan provider Sallie Mae says layoffs are imminent as a result of President Obama's new student loan overhaul. "This legislation will force Sallie Mae to reduce our 8,600-person workforce by 2,500," Conwey Casillas, Vice President of Sallie Mae Public Affairs, said in a statement to Fox News.

VERIZON Expects to Incur $970 Million Expense From Health-Care Legislation...

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
http://www.americanthinker.com/2010/04/obamacares_economic_dominoes.html                                   Now that health care reform in the shabby disguise of ObamaCare has been crammed through Congress, a peek at the president's precariously stacked dominoes confirms that sooner than you may suppose, there won't be any private companies selling health insurance in America. Consider:

There are approximately 1,300 insurance companies in America today. 

Beginning January 1, 2011, these companies will be required to pay out 85% of all premiums collected as direct medical care, leaving 15% of corporate income to fund operations and yield any potential profit. 

The health care industry has a profit margin of about 3%. Most American businesses rely on securing annual profits of 8% to 10%. American oil companies operate on about 4% profit. Alcoholic beverage sales net annual profits of 26%.

This is a very long article, but well worth the reading if you really want to understand why Obama's proclamation that the sky is not yet falling has no meaning.  It takes time for all the ramifications to produce a devastation of our country, and he knows it.

Byron York of the Washington Examiner exposes the true aim of the new bill:  "The new health care legislation, Senator Baucus promised, "will have the effect of addressing that maldistribution of income in America." [Really?  And here we thought it was about insurance for all].
Howard Dean, the former Democratic National Committee chairman and presidential candidate, said the health bill was needed to correct economic inequities. "The question is, in a democracy, what is the right balance between those at the top ... and those at the bottom?" Dean said during an appearance on CNBC. "When it gets out of whack, as it did in the 1920s, and it has now, you need to do some redistribution. This is a form of redistribution."
After Baucus' statement, I asked a Democratic strategist (who asked to remain nameless) whether fighting income inequality was one of his goals in supporting the legislation. Never, he said. "That's what the tax code is for."
'Redistribution' is an easy charge to make," the Democrat said. "I'm not surprised that it's an argument critics make; what I'm surprised at is that Democrats are making it."
This week the DNC group Organizing for America offered a commemorative certificate to supporters who helped pass the health care bill. The certificate said, "We achieved the dream of generations -- high-quality, affordable health care is no longer the privilege of a few, but the right of all."
The privilege of a few? It is widely accepted that about 85 percent of all Americans have health care coverage, and the overwhelming majority are happy with it. There's simply no way anyone could plausibly claim that health coverage is the privilege of a few."

Blogger Adam Sharp took on pro-Obamacare liberal Rep. Phil Hare (D-IL) at a town hall in Illinois today. When asked where in the Constitution it says that the feds can force us to buy health insurance, Hare replied:  "I don't worry about the Constitution on this.  I believe it says we have the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness."  [That's the Declaration of Independence] "It doesn't matter to me - either one." He was asked once again, "where in the Constitution?"  His response: "I don't know" [Must it really be pointed out to Mr. Hare that he swore an oath of office to defend the Constitution, as did Obama?  It's so nice he just gave his opponents a great reason to retire him.]

Los Angeles Times, “President Obama, after delaying and deliberating for a year, unveiled a controversial offshore drilling plan Wednesday that was driven largely by the politics of his agenda on energy and climate change -- not by hopes of changing the nation's energy supply. As a presidential candidate, Obama was attacked … for not supporting all-out expansion of offshore drilling. And one of his administration's first acts after he took office last year was to cancel the long-term offshore plans President George W. Bush had released at the end of his tenure.”   Gary Bauer adds: As we reported Friday, and as the Times report states, upon taking office the Obama Administration immediately slammed the brakes on offshore drilling and domestic exploration. Yesterday’s announcement isn’t progress at all. In fact, Obama cancelled four planned leases in Alaska , put some areas of the Gulf of Mexico off limits, as well as the entire West Coast. After taking two steps back, Obama at best took one baby step forward.

But the worst part about the announcement is that Obama tied it to his political agenda, i.e., a cap and trade scheme and subsidies for “clean energy.” Cap and trade is a a great big tax that will lead to $7.00 a gallon gas. Why would anyone want to do that? As one analyst described it, this is the “Tanya Harding approach” to energy policy.
