ENDA: Threatens Christians & Business Owners
TODAY! The House Committee on Education and Labor will hold a hearing on H.R. 3017, the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA), an LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender) bill that will be a nightmare for business owners in general and a denial of First Amendment rights for Christian business owners. The hearing begins at 10 a.m. EST and will be webcast. Watch it!
ENDA is designed to get homosexuals, bisexuals, cross-dressers, and transsexuals added to the list of federally-protected minorities. If this is accomplished, the LGBT agenda will be imposed on businesses, local, state and federal governments, including public schools, Christian day care centers and camps, plus many other Christian entities, including religious broadcasters, etc. It will affect any business with more than 15 employees.

*Legislative Alert* Vote on Mandatory 5-K
Today the WI State Senate will vote on Senate Bill 89 - making 5 year-old kindergarten mandatory. The Assembly version already passed in the Assembly. Contact your WI State Senator and tell him/her to oppose this bill!
This bill is anti-parents rights and anti-school choice. Your child could write, read and be a sonnet composing prodigy. But if they haven’t attended 5-K they can be denied admittance to first grade. THIS IS A LEAD INTO MANDATORY 4-K!
SB89
AB119 (companion bill the passed the Assembly)
While the bill purports to make these programs optional, history shows us that there will be subsequent pressure to make them mandatory, universal, and funded with taxpayer dollars. Many education experts have concluded that beginning a child’s formal education too early may actually result in burnout and poor scholastic performance later. Lowering the compulsory attendance age erodes the authority of parents who are in the best position to determine when their child’s formal education should begin. Another significant impact of expanding the compulsory attendance age would be an inevitable tax increase to pay for more classroom space and teachers to accommodate the additional students compelled to attend public schools. When California raised the age of compulsory attendance, unwilling students were so disruptive that new schools had to be built just to handle them and their behavior problems, all at the expense of the taxpayer. - HSLDA

Alinsky, Beck, Satan and Me by David Horowitz
Lest we forget, an over-the-shoulder acknowledgment to the very first radical:” (Pause there for second. Now continue): “from all our legends, mythology, and history(and who is to know where mythology leaves off and history begins — or which is which), the first radical known to man who rebelled against the establishment and did it so effectively that he at least won his own kingdom — Lucifer.”
So Alinsky begins by telling readers what a radical is. He is not a reformer of the system but its would-be destroyer. This is something that in my experience conservatives have a very hard time understanding. Conservatives are altogether too decent, too civilized to match up adequately, at least in the initital stages of the battle, with their adversaries. They are too prone to give them the benefit of the doubt. They assume that radicals can’t really want to destroy a society that is democratic and liberal and has brought wealth and prosperity to so many. Oh yes they can. That is in fact the essence of what it means to be a radical — to be willing to destroy the values, structures and institutions that sustain the society we live in. Marx himself famously cited Alinsky’s first rebel (using another of his names — Mephistopheles): “Everything that exists deserves to perish.”

Dems’ Government Takeover Of Student Loans Looks A Lot Like Obama’s Government-Run Health Care Experiment.
Recently Passed “Education Reform” Bill From House Dems Will Cut Private Lenders Out Of Federal Higher Education Financing Programs. “House approval of an education-financing bill Thursday marks a first step toward sweeping changes in U.S. higher education that would cut out private lenders and leave the government as sole provider of student loans under federal programs … [T]he measure would eliminate private lenders from originating government-backed loans …” (Corey Boles and Robert Tomsho, “Bill Upends System For College Loans,” The Wall Street Journal,9/18/09)

America’s Food Under Attack
By Carolyn Carey
Can anyone be against food safety? Of course not. That is like being against clean air or clean water, or saving bald eagles. Congress seems to be of the opinion, however, that those producing food in America, the safest food producing nation in the world, needs to be placed under even stricter controls. A search of pending "Food Safety" bills in Congress this session alone results in a total of 45 bills and resolutions with 24 bills filed in the House and 17 in the Senate. Each come with specific dangers to the free enterprise system and should be a focus of concern for not only food producers, but Americans in general. This article takes a close look at one of them, HR 875, the Food Safety and Modernization Act, to illustrate the need to closely examine the language of each of the pending bills to learn the dangers and myths.

SOCIALISM - What It Is and Why We Need It
Thursday, September 10
Two times/locations as part of a national tour, featuring a presentation followed by full audience discussion about socialism -- and its relevance for changing the world today. All are welcome.
12:30 pm * MATC Truax(3550 Anderson St.) in the Student Lounge (Rm. 142C)
7:30 pm * UW CampusRoom 1121 in the Humanities Building (455 N. Park St.)Sponsored by the International Socialist Organization http://socialistworker.org/ The socialist alternative
The word "socialism" has returned to the mainstream of American political debate. Yet, there are widespread misconceptions about what socialism is--and what it isn't. Republicans fret that the US is fast becoming a "socialist country" -- with government spending on bank bailouts and Barack Obama's proposed health care reform. But the genuine tradition of socialism is "socialism from below," which means something more than state intervention in the economy. Socialism is really about the struggle to oppose discrimination in all its forms and to put the needs of working people before corporate profits. Come to this meeting to discuss the idea of socialism -- and socialist strategies for changing the world.
About the International Socialist Organization
The ISO is a socialist activist organization with branches around the United States. In the tradition of Karl Marx and Frederick Engels, we believe capitalism needs to be replaced by workers' power – the democratic control over the entire economy of the people whose work actually runs it. We publish our own newspaper, Socialist Worker, which tells the stories rarely included in the mainstream press -- whether reporting the reality of life amid U.S. bombs in Baghdad and Bagram, or reports from activists all over the world on what we're doing to fight back. We distribute Socialist Worker around the country through a grassroots network of activists and radicals. Here in Madison, we're helping to organize buses to the National Equality March (for LGBT civil rights) in October, fighting against Wisconsin's budget cuts and for real health care that would include everyone, and leading a campaign to defend free speech rights on State Street. Other recent activities include initiating an abortion clinic defense; hosting discussions on capitalism's economic and environmental crises; bringing exonerated death row inmates to campus to tell their stories; organizing a defense campaign for an immigrant student facing deportation; and much more. We proudly co-sponsor the annual Socialism conference: http://socialismconference.org/ and this fall we'll be organizing a Midwest Socialist Conference in Chicago, on November 14-15.

Two Thousand Schoolgirls Injured From Vaccine
A support group says it has received dozens of calls from parents who believe their daughters have been damaged by the vaccine.
The parents of one teenage girl given the jab last autumn believe it was to blame for repeated seizures which have left her with brain damage and psychosis.
Campaigners and families said the new figures showed the vaccination should not have been introduced via a mass programme.
More than one million girls have already been given the jab, which is offered to all as they enter their teens.
Until 2011 it will also be administered to older girls, so that all female teens below the age of 18 will be covered by the programme.
Ministers say that ultimately the scheme will save 700 lives a year, while drug safety experts insist the number of suspected reactions are outweighed by the benefits from the jab.

*ALERT* Public Hearing on the NO MORE Clean Laundry Bill and Shoreland Zoning
Your action is NEEDED! On Thursday, September 10, 2009 the WI Senate Committee on Environment is going to have a public hearing on TWO important issues that you need to voice your opinion on!
First, if you can, come to the hearing and testify. If you can not attend, send your testimony to the committee chair and members and ask that it be part of the public hearing record. Sen. Miller is the chair – Senate Committee on Environment. My suggestion would be to submit it to the members by September 9, 2009. Second, submit your testimony/thoughts to your Senator and ask them to do what they can.
1. No More Clean Laundry and Dishes Bill (AB 281) -
This bill passed the Assembly and if not stopped in the Senate will turn WI into WA. I originally told you about this bill in June - where people in the state of WA can't get their cloth and dishes clean due to the phosphorus restrictions.
READ HERE
2. Lake/River/Water/Wetland Property (aka: Shoreland Zoning CHR 05-058) –
I have not read through the whole rule but you need too if you own property on or near any body of water. Below are a few excerpts from the DNR rule but please read the whole thing – you may catch things that I have not. I don’t trust the DNR and have a feeling this could be bad.
-Counties with a non-compliant or no shoreland ordinance have 180 days to work with Department to draft a compliant shoreland ordinance.
-A new provision limiting structure height to 35-feet high within 75 feet of the ordinary high-water mark is added to protect and preserve the natural scenic beauty close to the shoreline.
-Removed rule that discussed limiting the cost of changes to nonconforming structures to 50%; rule provides incentives to address nonconforming structures via limits on impervious surface area and mitigation requirements.
-Added provision allowing expansion of nonconforming principal structures within 75 feet of the ordinary high-water mark with a county permit, provided key requirements are met, including mitigation to offset impacts in most cases.
-Added provision allowing relocation of nonconforming principal structures within 75 feet of the ordinary high-water mark with a county permit, only when no compliant building location is exists, and provided key requirements are met, including mitigation to offset impacts and removal of non-exempt structures within 75-feet of the water.
-New “Mitigation” and “Building envelope” definitions support this standard.
-The standard minimum setback remains 75 feet. Language is added to address structures exempted by other state or federal laws from the minimum setback standards.
-Routine maintenance of vegetation permitted in shoreland zone. Removal of trees and shrubs also is allowed if the trees and shrubs are exotic or invasive species, diseased or damaged, or an imminent safety hazard, but the removed trees and shrubs must be replaced.
-Language governing management of shoreland vegetation in at least the first 35 feet from the OHWM is clarified, resulting in a more functional buffer protecting habitat and water quality. Other vegetation management permitted in the vegetated buffer zone with a county approved plan that requires erosion control; re-vegetation; maintenance and monitoring and enforceable restrictions.
- In addition to notifying the Regional office prior to any hearings on the following, counties must also submit to the Department within 10 days permits to relocate or expand nonconforming principal structures; variances, special exception and conditional use permits; appeals for map or text interpretations, and decisions to amend map or text ordinances.
First, if you can, come to the hearing and testify. If you can not attend, send your testimony to the committee chair and members and ask that it be part of the public hearing record. Sen.

Today Sen. Coggs is Holding a Public Hearing on His ANTI-Voter Id Bill!!!
Today Sen. Coggs is holding a public hearing on Senate Bill 179 his anti-voter id bill!!! It is imperative that your own Representative's know your thoughts on this bill
You can also contact the committee members. Call and also submit comments in writing!!! Senate Labor Committee
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Sen. Cogg's Press Release: Dated April 7th:
Sen. Coggs’ Election Day bill makes modern-day “Jim Crow Laws” a crime “Voter deception and intimidation in the guise of so-called ‘ballot security’ is a crime,” Coggs says
MADISON – Sen. Spencer Coggs introduced legislation on April 7, Election Day that would make it a crime in future elections to suppress voter turnout by deceiving or intimidating voters through individual or organized voter suppression strategies seen in recent elections in Wisconsin and the nation.
“These attempts to mislead, intimidate or coerce voters are the modern-day equivalent of the ‘poll tax,’” Sen. Coggs said. “Voter deception and intimidation in the guise of so-called ‘ballot security’ is a crime and should not be tolerated in our democracy.”
Poll taxes requiring a fee to register to vote were created following the Civil War by “Jim Crow” laws in the South aimed at constructing a legal system based on white supremacy. Other “Jim Crow” laws enacted fraudulent literacy tests, elaborate registration schemes, and eventually white-only primaries to exclude black voters.
Sen. Coggs’ legislation prohibits anyone acting in an official or unofficial capacity from intentionally deceiving anyone regarding the date, time, place or manner of conducting an election, or deceiving anyone about the qualifications or restrictions for voting.
“In recent elections there have been pamphlets distributed anonymously in my district and elsewhere in Milwaukee that warned citizens they could not vote, and that all of their family members could not vote if any family member had ever been convicted of a crime – even if they’ve only received a traffic ticket,” Sen. Coggs said.
In the past two general elections, these pamphlets were distributed in the black community of Milwaukee. The effect was to confuse, disrupt and dissuade central city residents from exercising their right to vote.
Under the Coggs bill, a person affected by this activity can obtain a restraining order from a court or file a sworn complaint with the state Government Accountability Board. If the Board finds merit in the complaint, it must promptly investigate and take all measures necessary to provide correct information and refer the matter for prosecution. Depending on the severity of the crime, penalties range from $50,000 to $100,000 and prison sentences of two to three years.
“Another ploy in recent elections involved the distribution in Milwaukee of an anonymous pamphlet advising citizens not to worry about casting a ballot on an Election Day, Tuesday, because voting was also being conducted on Wednesdays,” Sen. Coggs said.
More ominous, said Coggs, are the actions of government officials and political parties that conduct so-called “ballot security” programs such as the Vote Fraud Task Force established in Milwaukee by the Milwaukee Police Department, the Milwaukee County District Attorney and state Attorney General JB Van Hollen.
“For some reason,” Sen. Coggs said, “one of Wisconsin’s 72 counties – Milwaukee County - was singled out. One city - Milwaukee - was singled out. And seemingly one area within Milwaukee was singled out – the minority community – for so-called ‘voter fraud investigation.’”
Van Hollen, a Republican, was state campaign co-chair for Republican presidential candidate John McCain. At the national Republican convention in 2008, Van Hollen all but guaranteed a McCain victory in Wisconsin and only days later filed a lawsuit that could have disenfranchised hundreds of thousands of Wisconsin voters. The lawsuit was later found to be without merit.
In addition, the so-called Milwaukee “anti-fraud effort” was aided by the publication of a spurious investigation of the 2004 General Election authored by the Milwaukee Police Department. The report was not endorsed by members of the task force and was later found to be biased and partisan.
Other instances of official voter suppression included a nationwide strategy coordinated by the former Bush White House to have US Attorneys aggressively and vindictively pursue purported voter fraud. That strategy resulted in the controversial firing of eight US Attorneys by the Bush administration.
As part of the nationwide strategy, according to reports by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, the Republican Party of Wisconsin wrote a 30-page report that was provided to the White House alleging widespread abuses in Wisconsin. The report surfaced in the congressional investigation of the firing of the U.S. Attorneys.
In late 2005, Steve Biskupic, the former US Attorney for Wisconsin, a Bush appointee, announced that his probe found no evidence of a voter fraud conspiracy in Wisconsin.
“These activities should be described for what they are: government-sponsored voter intimidation, deception and suppression,” Sen. Coggs said. “We need the tools to allow everyday citizens to fight back against these modern-day ‘Jim Crow’ laws, and these tools are provided by my legislation.”

More ominous, said Coggs, are the actions of government officials and political parties that conduct so-called “ballot security” programs such as the Vote Fraud Task Force established in Milwaukee by the Milwaukee Police Department, the Milwaukee County District Attorney and state Attorney General JB Van Hollen.
“For some reason,” Sen. Coggs said, “one of Wisconsin’s 72 counties – Milwaukee County - was singled out. One city - Milwaukee - was singled out. And seemingly one area within Milwaukee was singled out – the minority community – for so-called ‘voter fraud investigation.’”
Van Hollen, a Republican, was state campaign co-chair for Republican presidential candidate John McCain. At the national Republican convention in 2008, Van Hollen all but guaranteed a McCain victory in Wisconsin and only days later filed a lawsuit that could have disenfranchised hundreds of thousands of Wisconsin voters. The lawsuit was later found to be without merit.
In addition, the so-called Milwaukee “anti-fraud effort” was aided by the publication of a spurious investigation of the 2004 General Election authored by the Milwaukee Police Department. The report was not endorsed by members of the task force and was later found to be biased and partisan.
Other instances of official voter suppression included a nationwide strategy coordinated by the former Bush White House to have US Attorneys aggressively and vindictively pursue purported voter fraud. That strategy resulted in the controversial firing of eight US Attorneys by the Bush administration.
As part of the nationwide strategy, according to reports by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, the Republican Party of Wisconsin wrote a 30-page report that was provided to the White House alleging widespread abuses in Wisconsin. The report surfaced in the congressional investigation of the firing of the U.S. Attorneys.
In late 2005, Steve Biskupic, the former US Attorney for Wisconsin, a Bush appointee, announced that his probe found no evidence of a voter fraud conspiracy in Wisconsin.
“These activities should be described for what they are: government-sponsored voter intimidation, deception and suppression,” Sen. Coggs said. “We need the tools to allow everyday citizens to fight back against these modern-day ‘Jim Crow’ laws, and these tools are provided by my legislation.”

Do Not to Fall for Co-Op Compromise
"Make no mistake, any Democrat health care bill will include both mandates and subsidies for 'eligible' or 'qualified' health insurance," said Eagle Forum President Phyllis Schlafly. "The words eligible and qualified mean that Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Tom Daschle, Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel and the like, will have the power to decide who gets what medical care."

Point by Point - How WI Legalized Gay Marriage And What Is To Come
Read More at Eagle Forum...
The National Education Association (NEA), which usually passes a dozen or more pro-homosexual resolutions every year at its annual national convention, this year in San Diego went all-out in support of same-sex marriage. This emphasis on advocacy for homosexuals was spelled out in a five-point New Business Item E.
Point #1 tells its union affiliates to support state legislation that registers same-sex couples in a way that mimics marriage. This registration would cover taxes, inheritance, adoptions, medical decisions, and even immigration.
Point #2 says that states can call this same-sex registration marriage or civil union or domestic partnership so long as same-sex relationships are treated like marriage.
In Point #3, the NEA promises to "support its affiliates" in opposing state constitutional amendments and laws that "could have the effect" of differentiating between homosexual and heterosexual couples. The NEA's California affiliate spent $1.25 million of teachers' dues money on the campaign to defeat Proposition 8 last year.
In Point #4, the NEA supports repeal of federal laws and regulations such as the very popular 1996 Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), which defines marriage as the union of one man and one woman. According to the Government Accountability Office's (GAO) list of laws that use DOMA's definition of marriage, repeal of this law would create new Social Security and joint income tax benefits for homosexual partners.

Obama Says Marriage Law Should Be Repealed
In a filing by the Justice Department, administration lawyers made it clear for the first time in court that the president thinks the 13-year-old Defense of Marriage Act, which denies benefits to domestic partners of federal employees and allows states to reject same-sex marriages performed in other states, discriminates against gays and should be repealed.

Urgent Action Needed to Help Glenn Beck
http://www.keepglennbeck.com/
The socialists, community organizers, in the fashion of neo-Marxist Saul Alinksy, are doing just as Alinsky wrote in his book Rules for Radicals, "Pick the Target, Freeze It, Personalize It and Polarize It". The target is now Glenn Beck because he is speaking truth and exposing their radical agenda. Reportedly, 75,000 people have signed onto a petition against Beck and he has had advertisers pull their ads from his program. Sign the "Keep Glenn Beck Petition" and let Fox News Channel and Beck's advertisers know that we appreciate Beck speaking truth and helping us fight the attempt, by both parties, to implement socialism in America.

Join Marlin Maddoux, host of the nationally syndicated radio news talk program Point of View, for an investigation into the multi-million dollar a year baby parts trafficking industry, which is one of the most lucrative businesses in operation today. Yet most Americans are unaware of its existence. Many have heard about the controversy surrounding fetal tissue research but have no idea how the tissue is obtained.

Whitehouse Tracking all opposed to BO's Healthcare Plan
Read About it at Rush Limbaugh or Red State
From the White House website:
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.

BO's Town Hall Meeting Alert
Friend --
This is the moment our movement was built for.
For one month, the fight for health insurance reform leaves the backrooms of Washington, D.C., and returns to communities across America. Throughout August, members of Congress are back home, where the hands they shake and the voices they hear will not belong to lobbyists, but to people like you.
Home is where we're strongest. We didn't win last year's election together at a committee hearing in D.C. We won it on the doorsteps and the phone lines, at the softball games and the town meetings, and in every part of this great country where people gather to talk about what matters most. And if you're willing to step up once again, that's exactly where we're going to win this historic campaign for the guaranteed, affordable health insurance that every American deserves.
There are those who profit from the status quo, or see this debate as a political game, and they will stop at nothing to block reform. They are filling the airwaves and the internet with outrageous falsehoods to scare people into opposing change. And some people, not surprisingly, are getting pretty nervous. So we've got to get out there, fight lies with truth, and set the record straight.
That's why Organizing for America is putting together thousands of events this month where you can reach out to neighbors, show your support, and make certain your members of Congress know that you're counting on them to act.
But these canvasses, town halls, and gatherings only make a difference if you turn up to knock on doors, share your views, and show your support. So here's what I need from you:
Can you commit to join at least one event in your community this month?
In politics, there's a rule that says when you ask people to get involved, always tell them it'll be easy. Well, let's be honest here: Passing comprehensive health insurance reform will not be easy. Every President since Harry Truman has talked about it, and the most powerful and experienced lobbyists in Washington stand in the way.
But every day we don't act, Americans watch their premiums rise three times faster than wages, small businesses and families are pushed towards bankruptcy, and 14,000 people lose their coverage entirely. The cost of inaction is simply too much for the people of this nation to bear.
So yes, fixing this crisis will not be easy. Our opponents will attack us every day for daring to try. It will require time, and hard work, and there will be days when we don't know if we have anything more to give. But there comes a moment when we all have to choose between doing what's easy, and doing what's right.
This is one of those times. And moments like this are what this movement was built for. So, are you ready?
Please commit now to taking at least one action in your community this month to build support for health insurance reform:
http://my.barackobama.com/CommitAugust
Let's seize this moment and win this historic victory for our economy, our health and our families.
Thank you,

Reading the Fine Print in the Health Care Bill
by Phyllis Schlafly <---Read Full Article
1. ...That means the government will force all taxpayers to pay for health care for millions of people who don't now buy insurance because they don't need it, or because insurance doesn't cover what they do need. (p.5)
2. ....Government agents will audit and then harass small business owners to force them to pay for insurance they cannot afford. (p.22)
3. The bill provides for optional "nurse home visitation services" without specifying who has power to exercise the option. Among the various purposes listed are "increasing birth intervals between pregnancies" (this reminds us of China's policies to reduce childbirth by married couples), reducing "child abuse, neglect, and injury" (giving more authority to the already too powerful Child Protective Services), and promoting school readiness (will homeschooling be scorned?). (p.768)
4. The bill covers family planning. Those are well-known code words for taxpayer-funded contraception and abortion, and will impose mandatory coverage of abortion on demand in all health plans. (p.772)
5. ...opens up plenty of funding for health and translation services for illegal aliens. (pp.405 & 407)
6. ...so long as the "public option" is subsidized by the taxpayers, it can always undersell private plans. (p.72)
7. The government will specify the health benefits that must be included in any plan participating in the Health Insurance Exchange. If all private plans must include all government-specified benefits (which will surely include benefits unwanted by many people and will inevitably drive up costs), whatever happened to choice? (p.84)
8. Anyone who does not enroll in an Exchange-participating plan will be "automatically enrolled under Medicaid." The government will thus use force to achieve its goal of universal coverage. (p.102)
9. Employers will be subjected to a play-or-pay mandate. Those who do not provide health insurance to their employees must give the government a "contribution" equal to 8 percent of average wages paid. (p.149)
10. Seniors must submit to "advance care planning consultation" (a.k.a. end-of-life discussions) every five years, or more often if there is "a significant change in the health condition of the individual, including diagnosis of a chronic, progressive, life-limiting disease, a life-threatening or terminal diagnosis or life-threatening injury." Will these consultants advise seniors to hurry up and die because they are costing too much money? (pp.425 & 429)
11. Government bureaucrats will conduct "Comparative Effectiveness Research" to decide the effectiveness of treatments and drugs. That is the exotic label for rationing and, as House Appropriations Chairman David Obey (D-WI) admitted, drugs and treatments that are "found to be less effective and more expensive will no longer be prescribed." (pp.502 & 520)
12. Government bureaucrats (not the medical profession) shall determine national priorities for research. (p.505)
13. Preference in awarding grants or contracts will be given to entities that have trained "the greatest percentage" of public health workers in the government, and that have trained large percentages of "under-represented minority groups." (pp.909-910) Think ACORN!

USS Cole CDR Statement On Releasing GITMO Detainee
“No coherent policy in the war on terror. No comprehensive plan in place to deal with the future of Guantanamo Bay detainees. No accountability for terrorists who attack and wound our brave fighting forces. Now, in a strikingly familiar political decision, the Obama Administration has announced it plans on releasing Mohammed Jawad, a terrorist who attacked and wounded two U.S. soldiers and an Afghan citizen in a grenade attack.

Obama's Heathcare - Brannon Howse
Listen to Podcast
Topic: Ron Meyers interviews Brannon Howse on Obama's national healthcare that will euthanize America's seniors and the disabled through the rationing of healthcare, make someone's intrinsic value based on the State's definition of whether or not they are productive human resource, require doctors to break their Hippocratic Oath in order to be able to make a living and continue practicing medicine, force seniors on Medicare to go through "end of life counseling" every five years so they can be brainwashed into the liberal's "duty to die" propaganda, require doctors to receive government approval for tests and procedures through a government computer system, punish Americans that do not purchase a "qualified" insurance plan and nationalize America's healthcare by putting private insurance companies out of business. Obama says he will pay for this massive national healthcare program by cutting $500 billion dollars out of Medicare over ten years. This will be accomplished by denying seniors medical treatment. What can Americans do to stop this massive socialist agenda and if it becomes law how much Christians respond?
