Hundreds of Protestors 4 blocks long in Raleigh!
An eyewitness account: "He was greeted with some cheers, not many, on Peace Street, but they turned to boos as he progressed down the road. The protesters severely out numbered the pro-Obama supporters."

ObamaCare - Be Afraid, Be Very Afraid!
HR3022 bill (1,018 pages)...say what?
Below is a link for a blog managed by Peter Fleckenstein of Phoenix, AZ. He has reviewed the bill and summarized key elements in the proposed ObamaCare 'Monster' bill.
http://blog.flecksoflife.com/2009/07/19/the-hc-monstrosity/
Here are some disturbing highlights:
Pg 30: SEC. 123. HEALTH BENEFITS ADVISORY COMMITTEE of HC bill - THERE WILL BE A GOVERNMENT COMMITTEE that decides what treatments/benefits you get.
PG 50-51: SEC. 152. PROHIBITING DISCRIMINATION IN HEALTH CARE in HC bill - HC will be provided to ALL citizens; US, Illegal or otherwise.
Pg 58: SEC. 163. ADMINISTRATIVE SIMPLIFICATION HC Bill - Government will have real-time access to individual's finances and a National ID Healthcard will be issued! Pg 59: SEC. 163. ADMINISTRATIVE SIMPLIFICATIONHC Bill lines 21-24- Government will have DIRECT access to your BANK ACCOUNTS for electronic funds transfer. This means the government can go in and take your money right out of your bank account.
Pg 95: SEC. 205. OUTREACH AND ENROLLMENT OF EXCHANGE-ELIGIBLE INDIVIDUALS AND EMPLOYERS IN EXCHANGE-PARTICIPATING HEALTH BENEFITS PLAN HC Bill Lines 8-18 - The Government will use groups i.e., ACORN & Americorps to sign up individuals for Government HC plan.
pg 127: SEC. 225. PROVIDER PARTICIPATION Lines 1-16 HC Bill - Doctors/ AMA - The Government will tell YOU, medical staff, what you can make regardless of specialization.
PG 427: SEC. 1233. ADVANCE CARE PLANNING CONSULTATION Lines 15-24- Government mandates program for end of life. The Government has a say in how your life ends!
There is so much more! If you would like to review all the HC summaries send an e-mail to TCRNHA@ymail.com (Ymail) and I'll send you the information.
Thank you Mr. Fleckenstein for all of your hard work and Teri Garcia-Brown for directing me to his blog!

ObamaCare - Fact Check
OBAMA: "I have also pledged that health insurance reform will not add to our deficit over the next decade, and I mean it."
It's a Miracle! Not so fast.....
THE FACTS: The president has said repeatedly that he wants "deficit-neutral" health care legislation, meaning that every dollar increase in cost is met with a dollar of new revenue or a dollar of savings. But some things are more neutral than others. White House Budget Director Peter Orszag told reporters this week that the promise does not apply to proposed spending of about $245 billion over the next decade to increase fees for doctors serving Medicare patients. Democrats and the Obama administration argue that the extra payment, designed to prevent a scheduled cut of about 21 % in doctor fees, already was part of the administration's policy, with or without a health care overhaul.
Beyond that, budget experts have warned about various accounting gimmicks that can mask true burdens on the deficit. The bipartisan Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget lists a variety of them, including back-loading the heaviest costs at the end of the 10-year period and beyond.

Klick: GOP’s answer to tough economy doesn’t include nationalized healthcare or cap and trade
By: Stephanie Klick
Special to the Star-Telegram
Despite promises by the Obama administration that the federal stimulus bill would have an immediate impact on the economy, the number of unemployed Americans is 20 percent higher now than it was before the legislation was signed into law. In fact, the latest unemployment statistics have prompted some Democrats to float a trial balloon advocating yet another round of government spending. If Congress and the president are serious about jump-starting the economy, they should repeal the wasteful spending contained in the stimulus bill and focus on policies that will encourage private-sector investment in the economy. They can start by eliminating the $16.1 million to be spent in House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s California district to protect the salt marsh mouse. Paying $18 million to a Democrat donor to revamp the government stimulus Web site should also be eliminated.
The administration should stop fueling economic uncertainty by advancing failed policies such as cap and trade. The experiences of Spain and Australia have proved that this approach will raise the cost of living of every American and will send more people to the unemployment line. Spain alone saw its unemployment levels soar to nearly 20 percent. If the administration is serious about creating jobs, it should suspend the war on small business and the middle class. The proposed taxes on small businesses to pay for national healthcare will kill jobs. Americans know that a new government plan will not fix the problem. Fifty-nine percent of the healthcare dollars spent in the United States are under the control of federal and state regulators. These same programs are plagued with waste, fraud and abuse, and more than $60 billion a year is lost to Medicare fraud. Unfortunately, patients in government-run programs also suffer poorer outcomes than those covered by private insurance.
The $1.6 billion-a-year plan being advanced by the Senate Democrats in Washington will radically increase government’s role in the healthcare of all Americans. It is expected that the Democrats will again rush a bill to the floor, with no time for members to read it before voting. In recent days, Senate Democrats defended the inclusion of funding for jungle gyms and walking trails as "preventive healthcare." No wonder they don’t want anyone to read the bill! Washington should look instead to the free market for solutions, such as tax credits for purchasing health insurance. We need to make health insurance personal and portable, controlled by the individual, not government or an employer. This will eliminate losing coverage with job changes and provide more choices for consumers.
The cost of insurance coverage can vary greatly depending on the state in which one lives. Each state has its own regulations and coverage requirements that can greatly affect premiums. Currently, consumers are prohibited from purchasing health insurance across state lines. Eliminating this barrier will provide consumers with more choices and reduce costs. Nationalizing healthcare, new energy taxes and more irresponsible spending will not put us on the path to economic recovery. These policies will do more harm than good. More jobs will be lost. It is time to change direction.

Take the Survey and Support the RNC!
The liberal media would have you believe that President Obama has already "rebuilt" America's image in the eyes of the world. That our country is now safer and more secure.
But I want to know firsthand your thoughts about some of the most critical foreign policy issues facing our nation. Please take a moment, right now, to fill out online the Obama Foreign Policy Survey to let Republican leaders in Washington, D.C. and across the country know where you stand on matters of global importance.
Sincerely,
Michael Steele

Lost in a Bureaucratic Maze
This chart, provided by Rep. John Boehner, gives a clear vision of the bureaucratic mess that so-called cap and trade legislation will create.

What's your Cap-and-Trade Burden?
By reducing carbon emissions, cap-and-trade systems raise prices throughout the economy. These costs are ultimately paid by American consumers. The following calculator estimates the annual cost your household would face under a typical U.S. cap-and-trade system.
