More Oppressive Legislation H.R. 45

15 August 2009

 

While we have all been busy trying to fight off nationalized healthcare American Marxist Revolutionaries have been working on some legislation many of us have lost sight of.

 

House Resolution 45, the Blair Holt Firearm Licensing and Record of Sale Act of 2009, was referred to the Subcommittee on Crime, Terrorism, and Homeland Security in February, and to the House Committee on the Judiciary in January.

http://www.opencongress.org/bill/111-h45/actions_votes This is another extremely hazardous piece of legislation that we need to do something about. It will basically

Make it illegal to own any firearm without a license that will need to be renewed every 5 years.

Make all of your health records available to the US Attorney General and make you undergo a physical and mental evaluation at any time the government chooses

Require you to submit fingerprints for every firearm purchase

Require a two day waiting period for every firearm purchase

Require you pay a $25 tax on every firearm purchase

Make all private firearm transfers illegal

Allow the government to enter your house any time they want, during regular business hours, and inspect your firearms and how they are stored

 

A brief video about the legislation is available at http://www.nationalgunrights.org/citizenaction_hr45.html

 

What you can do,

Write your Representatives you can find their contact information at

Representatives http://www.opencongress.org/people/representatives

Senators http://www.opencongress.org/people/senators

Join an organization that lobbies to protect your second amendment rights for example

The National Rifle Association www.nra.org

Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership www.jpfo.org

 

Why is action so important? This bill is the natural extension of the Gun Control Act of 1968 which did not include the licensing that President Johnson wanted. An interesting knowledge nugget about that legislation is that it was based on Hitler’s gun control laws in Germany. So directly in fact that the Nazi legislation was translated into English and barely modified. http://www.jpfo.org/filegen-a-m/GCA_68.htm  We all know what the result of Hitler’s gun laws was, an unarmed society that could not protect itself from an oppressive government. Never forget that the Second Amendment is what makes all of our other constitutional rights possible.

Hold Your Own Town Hall Meeting

13 August 2009

Does your Congressional Representative refuse to hold a town hall meeting because they are afraid to talk about the issues? Are they saying that opposing the American Marxist Revolution and saying something about it at the meetings constitutes “brown shirt tactics” and makes you a Nazi? Well have no fear, you still have a voice and you are not a “political terrorist” or a “brown shirt”.

For example, Jesse Kelly stepped in when Rep. Gabrielle Giffords backed out of a town hall meeting. http://www.gvnews.com/articles/2009/08/11/breaking_news/01giffords.txt

Kelly, a former Marine who will be running for Arizona's District 8 Congressional seat in 2010. When Giffords was afraid to talk to her constituents about the issues Kelly did what any good Marine would do in the face of chaos. He stepped up and took charge.

This is the type of leadership America needs. If you want to run for office and your representative is not representing, organize a town hall meeting and invite your representative. If they fail to appear talk to your people, let them know what you stand for, and show them you will represent them. Film it, put it on youtube, invite the media, and show everybody what is happening.

Another option which will require much less planning and can be done quickly during the August recess is hold a town hall meeting TEA Party style. Put the word out on myspace, facebook, or wherever and hold a town hall meeting in your representative’s office parking lot. Once again, document, document, document, call the media and post it on youtube.

By the way, brown shirts were Hitler’s thugs that he used to violently push his socialist agenda, educate your representative and show them these videos.

WWW.DISINFORMATION.GOV

 11 August 2009

The White House has appointed a new czar in the Ministry of Propaganda. Her name is Linda Douglass, formerly an ABC reporter. She has a website called WhiteHouse.gov/realitycheck  where you can go to see the current administration’s spin on healthcare reform. In addition there have been calls from this office to report “fishy” reporting on healthcare reform. In this case, “fishy” seems to mean “not in line with what the administration wants”. This site and the call to report, “fishy” reporting is a blatant effort to propagate lies and suppress the freedom of speech in this country.

 

Please take the time to e-mail the following letter to flag@whitehouse.gov where reporting on “fishy” articles, chain letters, etc. are supposed to go. If you take the time to read the letter and watch the video links you will see that it is definitely worth your time and effort to point out the disinformation that is being put out.

 

 

To Whom It May Concern:

 

While browsing the internet I have found some very questionable reporting related to President Obama’s healthcare reform plan. I hope you take the time to look into it and get the truth out there.

 

There is a blog at http://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/Facts-Are-Stubborn-Things/ with some videos.

 

In the first video Linda Douglass makes reference to a video link on Drudge Report. The video is edited but shows President Obama talking about how he envisions a single payer healthcare plan within the next 20 years because it will not happen over night. Ms. Douglass discredits the video saying it was a compilation of sound bites to fit the agenda of those opposed to government run healthcare.

 

Now this link was also posted on Drudge Report, and it is the uncut video of President Obama in 2003 explaining his plan for a single payer universal healthcare plan in the United States, “everybody in, nobody out”. http://www.breitbart.tv/obama-in-03-id-like-to-see-a-single-payer-health-care-plan/

 

Ms. Douglas is asked on CNN about how she attacked the Drudge Report, this is an outstanding video. You can tell by the interview and her video on the blog that she is well versed in propaganda. In this case the truth is being treated as propaganda, identify, distance yourself from it, and discredit. http://www.breitbart.tv/white-house-video-warfare-linda-douglass-defends-attack-on-breitbarttv-post/

 

 

The second video is of an AARP question and answer session. At 12:55 in this video Obama says

during the Kennedy and Johnson administrations people called Medicare and Medicaid socialized medicine, and suggests the government knows better than the people because the push to create Medicare and Medicaid went through. He also suggests that the government will tell the insurance companies how to do business, which implies government control. Again, this video does not directly address the 2003 plan to create a single payer healthcare program. Also the president does not address how this plan will be paid for; he only says that money will be saved by forcing insurance companies to do the government’s bidding despite how they will be impacted by this unfair trade.

 

After posting this question answer session on the White House page President Obama claimed that AARP endorses his healthcare plan. The fact is that the AARP has not endorsed any healthcare plan yet. They released this statement, "While the President was correct that AARP will not endorse a health care reform bill that would reduce Medicare benefits, indications that we have endorsed any of the major health care reform bills currently under consideration in Congress are inaccurate."

 

In the third video on in this blog a reporter asks about government insurance being subsidized by the government. The president at no time in the video commented on how the government’s healthcare plan will be subsidized by the government making private competition impossible. He cleverly dodged this legitimate question by joking around with the press corps for a few moments. He did say toward the end of the video in reference to a mandatory switch to the government plan that there would be “no change under healthcare reform”.

 

President Obama does not lie in this video. However what he did not say is far more important that what he did say.

 

He did not say that the new healthcare plan would be government subsidized, like the US Postal Service or Amtrak, but government programs are always funded by the government and are not required to be self sufficient. He also did not say how citizens would have to switch to the government plan when no private plan is available because the private sector could not compete with a government funded plan and they will all go under. This video sounds very different from his 2003 video, was that an imposter?

 

In this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5XTi-WdOu2s&eurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.breitbart.tv%2Fobama-its-the-post-office-thats-always-having-problems%2F&feature=player_embedded President Obama says private insurance will not be eliminated and points out that Federal Express and UPS are doing just fine in competition with the federally funded US Postal Service. It is true that these companies are doing well. When somebody has something important to send they are willing to pay significantly more money to go with a service they can trust. However, the USPS delivers the overwhelming majority of parcels in America.

 

Basically Fed-Ex and UPS have a niche market and this example does not directly relate to healthcare. That is unless of course, you consider the private hospitals in England where only the very wealthy can afford to be treated.

 

Now here is a comparison between the United States and six other countries with nationalized healthcare. It compares population, and average life expectancy based on the current CIA World Factbook. It also compares their average individual income tax rates based on various sources.

 

United States

Pop. 307 Million, Life Expectancy 78, Average income tax rate 24%, plus Social Security and Medicare, capital gains rates are not included

Australia

Pop. 21.26 Million, Life Expectancy 81, Average income tax rate 32%, plus 1.5% for Medicare

Canada

Pop. 33.5 Million, Life Expectancy 81, Average income tax rate 23%

China

1.34 Billion, Life Expectancy 73, Average income tax rate 25%, plus up to 60% capital gains tax

Denmark

Pop. 5.5 Million, Life Expectancy 76, Average income tax rate 48% (the rates are between 39-60%)

France

Pop. 64 Million, Life Expectancy 81, Average income tax rate 29.45%

United Kingdom

Pop. 61.1 Million, Life Expectancy 79, Average income tax rate 23.33%

 

President Obama stated that Denmark spends $6,000 less per person per year on healthcare than the United States. Denmark has a population of about half that of New York City. They have an income tax rate so high that the New York Times reported that their population is shrinking about 1% per year as young workers move to other countries with lower taxes. Denmark also has a shorter life expectancy than the United States.

 

With the exception of China none of the countries listed with nationalized healthcare have a population more than one fifth the size of the United States. In England and Canada people are on waiting lists for care that may cost more in the US, but it is available. In those countries, by the time they get it, it could be too late and they are caring for no more than 20% of the people that would be covered in the United States if we nationalize healthcare.

 

With an average tax rate as high as the United States already has, how can universal care be provided without raising taxes significantly? President Obama said costs would be cut without cutting quality of care or the availability of care. No provisions have been made to deny coverage to illegal immigrants so there will be significantly more people covered by the proposed plan without paying in. As these issues have not been addressed I consider the information available from the government to be highly suspect and quite “fishy”.

 

I would greatly appreciate your office looking into these issues, correcting the misinformation out there and making the information on these issues that have yet to be addressed public.
