Dirty Secret No. 1 in Obamacare

Do you feel the leaked information from a global warming alarmist organization is meaningful?



Bottom line: Is all this what you want or expect in a universal health care bill being rushed through Congress? Do you want government agents coming into your home and telling you how to parent your children? When did government health care turn into government child care?

Government needs less of a role in running our children's lives and more of a role in supporting parents' decisions for their children. Children belong to their parents, not the government. And the parents ought to have the right -- and government support -- to parent them without the fed's mandates, education or intervention in our homes.

Kids are very important to my wife, Gena, and me. That's why we've spent the past 17 years developing our nonprofit KICKSTART program in public schools in Texas. It builds up their self-esteem and teaches them respect and discipline. Of course, whether or not they participate in the program is their and their parents' choice.

How contrary is Obamacare's home intrusion and indoctrination family services, in which state agents prioritize houses to enter and enforce their universal values and principles upon the hearts and minds of families across America?

Government's real motives and rationale are quite simple, though rarely, if ever, stated. If one wants to control the future ebbs and flows of a country, one must have command over future generations. That is done by seizing parental and educational power, legislating preferred educational methods and materials, and limiting private educational options. It is so simple that any socialist can understand it. As Josef Stalin once stated, "Education is a weapon whose effects depend on who holds it in his hands and at whom it is aimed."

Before so-called universal health care turns into universal hell care, write or call your representative today and protest his voting Obamacare into law. Remind him that what is needed in Washington is a truly bipartisan group that is allowed an ample amount of time to work on a compromise health care law that wouldn't raise taxes (for anyone), regulate personal medical choices, ration health care or restrict American citizens.

Reading the bill/Honor In Office
Dear Mr. Norris,

I have read a number of articles by you, especially the ones concerning reading the bill.

Honor In Office is working on getting a bill passed in every state in the nation that requires our legislators to read the bill, post it on the internet, and so on.

Almost every member of Congress was first a lawmaker in their state. It is at the state and local level where they lose their way. If we can change the work ethic at the state level, we change it at the federal level.

It has been said that to prevent membership increases in gangs, the best way is to get reach the kids before they join the gang. Once joined, it becomes their culture and way of life.

The same can be said of our politicians. If we want to change the political culture and climate, we have to do it when they first come into office.

Please let me know your thoughts.

Best to you,
Jerrol LeBaron
Executive Director
Honor In Office

Obamacare
The major problem with our current practice of tying health care coverage to the job is that it took the patient out of the loop and transfered control of health care to those primarily motivated by profit.

The major problem with Obamacare is that it will keep the patient out of the loop and transfer control to those primarily motivated by power.

Freemen beware. There are only two kinds of Democrats - those who would be masters and those who would be slaves.
