I need you to go right now to our website at www.ouramericanvalues.org and donate whatever you can – $1, $5, $10, $100, $500, even $5,000 – to help us defend our values against the radical Left. Loyal friends of our work have agreed to match the contributions we receive, so please be as generous as you can.

Barack Obama said recently that he was going to wear us down. Well, here’s your chance to respond. Donate to American Values today!

The media will be looking to see how the grassroots reacts to ObamaCare. They will be looking for evidence that you are worn down and giving up. Don’t give up! Fight back.Several states have announced plans to sue the federal government over highly questionable mandates in the healthcare legislation. With your support, American Values will join that fight and take the battle for our values from the halls of Congress into the courtroom.

This is just the first taste of the bitter cup that the Left planned for us. Amnesty is likely to be the next item on their agenda. Cap and trade energy taxes passed the House last year, and may still get a vote in the Senate this year.

Please, stand with American Values today. Don’t forget that your $10 gift becomes $20. Your $50 gift becomes $100. Your $500 gift becomes $1,000.

Thank you.

We’ve all heard of death bed conversions, but a leading liberal luminary has been caught on tape making a death panel confession. Sarah Palin got pilloried for suggesting that government-run healthcare would lead to “death panels.” But in a 2007 speech at the University of California at Berkeley, former Clinton Labor Secretary and Obama economics advisor Robert B. Reich essentially admitted that Palin was right.

Reich began his address by telling the audience that he was going to deliver a speech about healthcare as if he were an honest candidate who “did not care about becoming president.” Reich continued, “In other words, this is what the truth is…” Are you sitting down for this? Here’s an excerpt:

“…particularly you young healthy people…you’re going to have to pay more. …And by the way, … if you’re very old, we’re not going to give you all that technology and all those drugs for the last couple of years of your life… It’s too expensive…so we’re going to let you die.

“Also, I’m going to use the bargaining leverage of the federal government … to force drug companies and insurance companies and medical suppliers to reduce their costs. What that means, less innovation and that means less [sic] new products and less [sic] new drugs on the market which means you are probably not going to live much longer than your parents.”
So, let’s summarize the kind of healthcare program that Robert Reich wants: “you’re going to have to pay more,” “if you’re very old … we’re going to let you die” and “less innovation … means you are probably not going to live much longer.”

That’s pretty shocking stuff. The media just couldn’t believe it when Sarah Palin suggested that government-run, socialized healthcare would lead to “we’re going to let you die” death panels. But that’s exactly what Reich said, and you can listen to him say it here.

To the bean counting bureaucrats, your life is a burden, not a blessing. So Big Government is going to dictate what healthcare you can and cannot receive. Need critical surgery? Maybe not. Suffering from serious pain? Sorry. Need cancer treatment? Too bad. How could anyone possibly call that “reform”? Sadly, many politicians do.
