On the same day that President Obama signed his healthcare “reform” bill in a White House ceremony, Liberty Counsel filed a lawsuit to stop it in Federal District Court. Although socialists may be celebrating their so-called “victory” today, this battle has just begun!  Please read below – Mat.

Friends, I’m sure you are finding it difficult to watch giddy liberal Democrats celebrating the passage of ObamaCare. That’s because you and I know that their “win” comes at the expense of our Constitution and through the complete marginalization of the will of the American people.

Here are just a few of the realities that make this such a bitter experience:

Fact One:  ObamaCare was unconstitutional from the beginning!  Congress NEVER had the power to force Americans to buy health insurance or to force employers to provide health insurance.

Fact Two:  It is always difficult for Americans to watch cheaters win.  That’s why we insist on placing asterisks after questionable records.  And we all know this bill was passed under extreme “Chicago Rules.”

Fact Three: No Democrat has yet come up with a credible estimate of what this monstrosity is going to cost. When it comes time to actually pay for ObamaCare, Americans are going to have the biggest case of buyer’s remorse in our nation’s history.

Fact Four: All across America, men and women of good will are asking themselves how they can live with the fact that their tax dollars may soon pay for abortions.

Friends, those are just a few of the reasons why Liberty Counsel filed our lawsuit…and why it MUST succeed.

Socialists twisted the system to get their prize.

Only by using the convoluted combination of “reconciliation” (that was never meant to be applied to this sort of legislation) and the threat of using the “Slaughter House Rule” (set aside only after Democrat leaders were assured of the “Stupak Sellout”), this so-called victory was disgracefully obtained.

That’s not “sour grapes”… that’s the plain truth. And with a CNN poll taken the day after the House vote showing 59% of Americans are still in strong opposition to ObamaCare, Barack Obama has been forced to go back on the campaign trail to try to “sell” his socialization of American medicine.

That means we’re in for more, “let me do a better job of explaining why you’re going to love this plan” speeches and other condescending, arrogant assertions.  Please, Mr. President, we “get it” just fine.

Americans have lost confidence in the legislative process.

At every step of the way in ObamaCare’s long march through Congress, the liberal Democrat leaders used trickery, overt manipulation, and out-and-out vote buying to thwart the American people’s clearly expressed opposition to their socialist takeover of our medical system.

Here’s what the 111th Congress has forced down our throats:

• Abortion coverage Americans don’t want
• Exorbitant costs Americans don’t want
• Mandatory participation Americans don’t want
• New federal bureaucracies Americans don’t want
• A vast expansion of IRS power Americans don’t want

Our Constitution has been subverted right before our eyes.

Friends, the “checks and balances” our Founders gave us are being systematically overpowered and dismantled by the Obama/Pelosi/Reid power axis.  Never before has
the will of the American people been so completely marginalized.

Liberty Counsel has filed our complaint in order to protect the American people from a total government takeover.  I am not being an alarmist – the very survival of the constitutional republic our Founders gave us hangs in the balance!

ObamaCare is unconstitutional!  If Congress has the power to FORCE each person to have health insurance, then individual liberty is totally meaningless.

That’s why we need hundreds of thousands of Americans to sign our Statement of Support for this litigation. Given the sad spectacle we saw play out in the House of Representatives this weekend, we must now win this battle in a court of law.

If you haven’t done so already, please click below to sign your official Statement of Support.  If you have already signed, PLEASE forward this entire message to as many like-thinking friends as possible:

ObamaCare was unlawful from its conception.

There were MANY reasons why Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi allowed no one but their closest insiders — and the White House arm twisters, of course — to participate in developing and managing ObamaCare. For one thing, its “Tooth Fairy” accounting couldn’t stand up to even mild scrutiny.

But the biggest reason was that Congress had NO AUTHORITY to force its socialist healthcare agenda on citizens and businesses in the first place!

The bill that passed the House of Representatives on Sunday night is unconstitutional because:

1. Congress has NO authority to force every American to carry insurance coverage, and,
2. Congress has NO authority to fine employers whose policies do not have the mandated coverage.

No matter the desires of Obama, Pelosi and Reid, there are some things Congress just cannot do!  And the threat to our liberty posed by ObamaCare goes FAR beyond healthcare.  If Congress can get away with this expansive power grab, then individual liberty and state sovereignty will soon vanish.

Nancy Pelosi said as much last week when she told reporters that after “kicking down the door” with ObamaCare, her Congress will push through the rest of its ultraliberal agenda.

EVERY version of the “healthcare reform” bill this Congress produced – even considering whatever “reconciliation” issues are eventually appended to the Senate version – is patently unconstitutional!

Friends, this monstrous, anti-life, anti-family healthcare bill MUST now be strongly challenged in the federal judiciary. Liberty Counsel is doing exactly that!

The battle over ObamaCare is just beginning.

Now more than ever, the socialists and abortion advocates need to understand that WE HAVE NOT GIVEN UP and will resist implementation of ObamaCare to the very end.  Now WE’LL SEE THEM IN COURT!  And we have an excellent chance of winning our federal lawsuit.

Here’s what I’m asking you to do…

1. Sign the Statement of Support for our lawsuit.  If you have already done so, please forward this message to twenty or thirty like-minded friends.

   We want to deliver hundreds of thousands of these Statements to all the key plotters behind ObamaCare.  Reid, Pelosi, Obama and all their confederates need to know they’re not going to get away with this travesty!  Go here right now:

   http://www.libertyaction.org/310/petition.asp?rid=23597880

2. Call your Representative’s and your Senators’ offices.

   Please… take a moment to call your Representative and your two Senators and let them know you are OUTRAGED by the way ObamaCare was handled.  Then let them know you will be supporting litigation against this unconstitutional bill.

   • Sen. Feinstein          202-224-3841
   • Sen. Boxer              202-224-3553
   • Rep. McClintock         202-225-2511
3. Pray for Liberty Counsel’s success in court.  Pray for God’s deliverance from being forced to pay for abortions and from the overt deceit and trickery that has become the norm from the Obama/Pelosi/Reid power axis.  PLEASE keep the heat on, especially now that the socialists have played their hand.

And, of course, this litigation is going to be very expensive.  Please prayerfully consider a significant gift to help offset Liberty Counsel’s expenses to mount a major constitutional challenge to ObamaCare.

I have appended a copy of Liberty Counsel’s official News Release about our lawsuit next to your Statement of Support. You can see it and sign your Statement of Support for litigation against ObamaCare by going here:

Now is NOT the time to be silent!  Join like-minded Americans who will be putting the plotters on notice that we have filed a federal lawsuit to stop this power grab once and for all.

God bless you,

P.S.  This battle is NOT over, no matter how much the Pelosi/Reid/Obama power axis wants us to think that it is. Sign your Statement of Support for our lawsuit so we can win this phase of the battle in court and in the court of public opinion!

And please pray! There is always hope in God! Also, let your Senators and Representative know that you WILL hold them accountable for their decisions on ObamaCare and its outrageous handling.  WE MUST NOT SUBMIT to this tyranny! Once again, thank you for praying and speaking out.

As the nation approaches the one year anniversary of Barack Obama’s inauguration, administration officials are crowing about all their “accomplishments.” On the White House website, you can read about the myriad ways in which President Obama has saved the global economy, tackled climate change and made us safe.

Some of you may be dubious, but you can participate in a series of live online chats and blogs with key White House aides as they detail “what the Obama Administration has done over the past year, and where the Administration is heading on pivotal issues.” The White House may be trying to put on a happy face, but the American people clearly aren’t happy with hope and change.

Virtually every major polling outfit and news organization now finds that the president’s approval rating has tanked. Yesterday, CBS News reported that Obama’s approval rating hit a new low in its polling at 46%. Today, it’s Gallup, which reports that only 40% of Americans approve of Obama’s handling of the economy and just 37% approve of his performance on healthcare reform.

CNN and Quinnipiac University asked voters whether Obama’s first year in office had been a success or a failure. Quinnipiac found that voters were evenly divided at 45% each. CNN found 48% of voters saying Obama’s first year was a failure, while 47% said it was successful. And, after a year of Obama’s leadership, Quinnipiac found voters statistically tied when asked whether the nation would have been better off or worse off if John McCain had become president instead of Barack Obama.

I’ve been told by several people that the Iranian’s don’t want us to “intervene”.  My simple answer: you’re stupid.  That’s right, I’m blatantly, publicly saying that.  You will forever be able to quote me on this.  The video below features an Iranian woman who, on the phone, describes vividly a massacre she witnessed and begs CNN (and the U.S.) to “stop this” and to “help the people of Iran”.

Albert Einstein once said, “The world is a dangerous place, not [only] because of those who do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing.”  In my opinion, this includes those who look, notice, mention something, and move on.  The people of Iran don’t just need us to watch and spread the news.  They need us to help them.  Step in and help.  Give them more resources to take their country.

Here’s an excellent quote from the description of the same video:

Just to be clear to all those who say, this does not involve the US. It does!  After the final verdict on the elections by the supreme ruler, he had to say … death to America, death to Israel.  So you see, if they are allowed to kill their own people, they will not stop at anything to try to attack and kill the US!  This is beyond belief!

See, there’s a lot of people saying to Iran, “the world is watching.”  Here’s the problem though: Iranians are watching us.  They’re waiting for us.  They’re watching us bicker and debate about why we shouldn’t “intrude” or “meddle” in, what some people are calling, their revolution.  My guess is that they probably don’t see much ‘hope’ coming from us, especially not coming from the ‘leader of hope’ (I’m talking about Obama, just in case your brain’s running on 56k today).  Stop bickering; stop debating.  People are dieing.  People are being brutally massacred.  And for those who think this whole thing is a hoax… you’re stupid.  Yep, I said it again.  Why would the Iranian government start censoring foreign media, the web, and blocking text services?  To serve their people?  Come on, you’re smarter than that.

Prayers and Lord’s blessings to the Iranian people.
