ObamaCare Exposed: Important information you need to know

Senator Max Baucus (D-MT) was a major congressional influence in ramrodding the passage of ObamaCare into law. Now the Senator is warning, “I see a huge train wreck coming down.”

We have seen that wreck coming from the beginning and Liberty Counsel has utilized every available resource to stop the oncoming disaster. Through God’s Grace, we have another opportunity to stop this unmitigated disaster in court through our lawsuit, Liberty University v. Geithner, and our May 16 hearing at the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals.

Please read this important update on our plan to stop ObamaCare in the federal judiciary – Mat.

Dear Patriots,


When President Obama signed the so-called Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ObamaCare) into law, he said this sweeping government takeover of America’s medical system was the result of “historic leadership” and that it was a testament to the “persistence of the American people.”

He was right about one thing: It has certainly been historic. Now, it’s about to be a historic train wreck of epic proportions!

The Obama administration is forging ahead with the implementation of this disastrous law. It took legislative manipulation, backroom deals, phony promises, and extreme coercion of Congress by White House arm-twisters to pass ObamaCare.

As if this wasn’t bad enough, the original law passed by Congress contained only the framework for ObamaCare. The “mandates” and “Health and Human Services Guidelines” that are emerging were still unwritten at the time of the bill’s passage.

We are now finding out, as former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi famously suggested, what’s actually in the law – more than 700 new directives so far without any congressional oversight or accountability.


++As 2012 came to an end, the U.S. Supreme Court breathed new life into our lawsuit against ObamaCare.

Liberty Counsel filed the first private suit in the nation against ObamaCare on March 23, 2010, Liberty University v. Geithner. Many lost hope in late June of 2012 when the Supreme Court announced it was upholding the “individual mandate” at the heart of ObamaCare.

But then our ObamaCare lawsuit was prominently featured by major media sources when, on Nov. 26, 2012, the High Court signaled that a majority of Justices were interested in revisiting the constitutional issues we raised.

I will reargue the case at the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals on May 16, and then we may well be back before the High Court later this year.

Liberty Counsel represents Liberty University and two private individuals in this case. Our case is the most comprehensive and significant challenge to ObamaCare in the country!


Liberty Counsel is challenging (1) the employer mandate; (2) the abortion mandate for religious employers; (3) the abortion mandate for individuals; and (4) the entire law, because tax bills must originate in the House and Harry Reid launched ObamaCare in the Senate.


++The unconstitutional “mandates” in ObamaCare must be struck down at all costs!

If we are successful, the employer mandate will be struck down. ObamaCare not only fails to exempt all employers of conscience who do not want to pay for abortions, but it mandates that all taxpayers pay for other people’s abortions through a compulsory insurance surcharge.

The collision between religious freedom and ObamaCare’s mandates is unprecedented in American history. While ObamaCare is a major threat to life and liberty, there is increasing hope that we can bring down this giant.

We will not rest until ObamaCare is defeated. This law must not stand!

Unless ObamaCare is stopped in court, on January 1, 2014, this nightmarish law will be in full force – ushering in the totality of a new era of health care in America that is the most invasive intrusion upon American liberty in our nation’s history, implemented by our own government.

Dear Patriots, our world-class healthcare system is in a downward “death” spiral – and ObamaCare is the principal cause.

++We are coupling our legal argument with fervent prayer!

I firmly believe that Liberty Counsel’s lawsuit against ObamaCare has an excellent chance of ridding our nation of this unconstitutional, immoral, and fiscally unsound law.

That’s why I’m urging you to join me and my legal team in that courtroom by adding your name to our all-new Amici Book!

We are Bankrolling Obama's Statist Agenda

The Grassfire Update:

Dear Patriots,

Here's a mystery for you.


The food-stamp program, one of the government's largest entitlements, was created and designed to expand when the economy sagged and to shrink when the economy recovered.

With President Obama and the media insisting that the "financial crisis is over and the recession ended in 2009,"
why is the already bloated $80-billion-a-year, food-stamp program continuing to swell?

The Wall Street Journal reports that "enrollment in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) ... has soared 70 percent since 2008 to a record 47.8 million as of December 2012."

A quick calculation reveals that one in every 6.5 Americans are currently receiving food stamps. And that number continues surging by more than 13,000 citizens each day.

So why isn't the program shrinking?

There are a number of factors, but WSJ suggests beyond a "sluggish job market and a rising poverty rate," many states are being encouraged to expand the food stamp program knowing that the federal government is picking up the tab.

No, wait! YOU'RE PICKING UP THE TAB!!!

But there's more. Obama has pushed for an easing of requirements so that people with higher incomes and savings can get on board the food stamp train before they become destitute.

+ + From Cradle To Grave

Patriot, when Barack Hussein Obama took office, he was the architect of the federal takeover of our health care system. Through the rapid expansion of food stamps, the President also controls millions of Americans' food consumption.

Now comes word that Democrats are "mulling" yet another handout -- a gas stamp, to help those who can't afford the high cost of fuel.

Do you see the plan here?

Obama is methodically advancing his agenda and sinking the claws of socialism further into our culture. He's chipping away and controlling more aspects of our lives by removing our right to choose. Our Radical-in-Chief is forcing citizens to abide by and follow his statist mechanisms -- and freedom-loving Americans are underwriting his entire effort!


+ + Fight Back Against Obama's Radical Agenda

Americans are Being Methodically Disarmed

Mathew Staver, Chairman
Liberty Counsel Action

Your Second Amendment rights are in the crosshairs of gun-grabbing liberal lawmakers, Hollywood elitists, and power-hungry Statists. Left unchecked, these radical activists will see to it that the Second Amendment is gutted and Americans are completely disarmed!

 

Please see my very important message below – Mat.

Hello Patriots,

 

Under the cloak of various legal and legislative measures – including seemingly sensible processes like “universal background checks” – our Second Amendment rights are under fire today as never before.

For instance, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has recently announced his plan to push forward a gun control bill that would expand background checks and enact tougher penalties for gun trafficking.  

On the surface, both new measures appear to be fairly benign.  

But the expanded background checks place the government squarely in the middle of every gun purchase, including private transactions.

Under Reid’s proposed new system, private sellers and buyers would be required to meet in person with a licensed dealer. There, the dealer would check the buyer against the federal database.

As with dealer purchases, a record of the sale would be retained by the licensed dealer and the dealer would charge a fee for the recording service.

Opponents of the bill believe it will ultimately result in the universal registration of all firearms and gun owners. At a minimum, it will lead to expanded monitoring by the ATF which will place citizens at an increased risk of searches and seizures.  

There is no way to get around the fact that this “benign” bill in the Senate is a wolf in sheep’s clothing!

Majority Leader Reid has suffered intense criticism from the Left for refusing to move Senator Dianne Feinstein’s proposed “Assault Weapons Ban” (focused on the AR-15 rifle) to the Senate floor, citing a lack of votes for passage.  But an infuriated Feinstein has vowed to renew the fight.

This situation makes Reid’s bill all the more dangerous as he attempts to regain face with his leftist critics for embarrassing (some would say betraying) Senator Feinstein on her pet subject of gun control.

++Those who support the constitutional right to bear arms face well-funded adversaries!

As you probably know, billionaire New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg has launched a $12 million media assault in 13 key states through his organization, “Mayors Against Illegal Guns.”

Bloomberg’s selected states are those in which the organization believes it “can most influence the upcoming Senate vote” by targeting vulnerable Senators.

Bloomberg, known for initiating other “Big Brother” type of laws in New York City, believes his group’s influence will ultimately drive the passage of the Senate bill.

++Meanwhile, actor Jim Carrey takes a cheap shot at gun owners. 

In a just-released video, actor Jim Carrey, on a “Hee-Haw” type of backdrop, mockingly impersonates the late Hollywood icon and former President of the National Rifle Association, Charlton Heston.

In a parody song entitled “Cold Dead Hand,” Carrey sings…

“The angels wouldn't take him up to heaven like he planned because they couldn't pry that gun from his cold dead hand.”

As we have seen in other cultural battles, liberal Hollywood is all too eager to move radical leftist ideas with their formidable influence.  The combination of Carrey/Bloomberg/Reid is a good example of a small number of liberal “progressives” working to subvert the liberties the Bill of Rights affords to every American citizen.

Liberty Counsel Action is calling all patriots to rise up and stop the leftist assault on our Second Amendment!

“We the People” demand that our federal government honor the Second Amendment as an important component of the rule of law established by the United States Constitution!

When you sign Liberty Counsel Action’s “Stand Your Ground on the Second Amendment” Declaration, we will share your views – along with those of tens of thousands of your fellow concerned Americans – with our elected officials, government bureaucrats, the media, and those who care about the protections our Constitution affords to all American citizens.

We will also send you a complimentary “Stand Your Ground on the Second Amendment” bumper sticker to help amplify your voice on this key issue.

++The NRA is exposing Harry Reid’s ploy.

The National Rifle Association (NRA) says Reid’s proposed bill will bring more government expansion and intrusion, and is “a step toward national gun registration” by the federal government that would take away the rights of law-abiding gun owners.

NRA President Wayne LaPierre sounded the alarm on this week’s Meet The Press, saying that these new regulations will not stop criminals…

“The whole thing, universal checks, has a dishonest premise. Criminals aren't going to be checked. They're not going to do this. The shooters in Tucson, in Aurora, in Newtown, they're not going to be checked.”

Patriots, this proposed gun legislation is nothing short of a power grab as we have seen Harry Reid do in so many other instances.  Reid can be counted upon to forward the Left’s desire to fundamentally transform our nation and diminish our individual liberties.

Join with Liberty Counsel Action today and tell Congress that you will “Stand your ground on the Second Amendment!”
