    Epic Campaign 2014 Ad: Lies find ObamaDems out, truth sets GOP free


    Posted by G. Sand Lapper on Dec 18, 2013

    The truth may set the GOP free to repeal Obamacare as the epic lies of President Barack Obama and his Democratic Party that Obamacare would allow Americans to keep health insurance policies and doctors they liked, find them out…all in one nice package.

    As Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand reminded and JoeForAmerica reported here weeks ago, President Obama wasn’t the only one that lied to the American people to trick them into supporting Obamacare:

    When this Super Big Lie was made manifest last month, we immediately insisted that ALL Democrats, not just The One, had knowingly lied (yes, that is a redundant tautology). And miracle of miracles, a Democrat senator from the Empire State admitted it in public:

    During an appearance on ABC’s This Week Sunday, New York Democratic Senator Kirsten Gillibrand admitted in passing that it was known President Obama was lying as he repeatedly stated people could keep health insurance plans they liked under Obamacare.
    “He should’ve just been specific. No we all knew,” Gillibrand said. “The whole point of the plan is to cover things people need, like preventive care, birth control, pregnancy.

    No Democrat elected in 2008 or since can escape guilt by expressed lies or lies of commission, as this ad so starkly exhibits:






    They are all liars every one of our politican's ..We voted for all liars.

    Harry Reid Takes Taxpayer Subsidy: 'My Employer Helps Me Pay for My Health Care'


    December 18, 2013 - 3:52 PM

    (CNSNews.com) - Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D.-Nev.), whose salary is $193,400 a year, said he has purchased a health care plan through the D.C. Obamacare exchange and that he is accepting the federal subsidy that can run up up to $11,378 per year for a member of Congress to purchase a plan on that exchange.

    “I’m just like 150 million other people in America,” Reid said. “My employer helps me pay for my health care.”

    video at link below



    A provision included in the Affordable Care Act says: "the only health plans that the Federal Government may make available to Members of Congress and congressional staff with respect to their service as a Member of Congress or congressional staff shall be health plans that are—(I) created under this Act (or an amendment made by this Act); or (II) offered through an Exchange established under this Act (or an amendment made by this Act)."
    Under the same law, private citizens buying an insurance plan in an Obamacare exchange can get a federal subsidy only if their income is less than 400 percent of the federal poverty level--which equals $94,200 for a family of four.

    However, as CNSNews.com has reported, a regulation issued by the Office of Personnel Management to implement the Obamacare mandate allows members of Congress to get an "employer contribution" from the U.S. Treasury when they buy a health insurance plan in the exchange set up for small businesses in Washington, D.C.

    That subsidy can run up to $11,378 per year for a family plan.

    CNSNews.com asked Reid on Wednesday at the Capitol if he had purchased a health care plan through the D.C. exchange.

    “Yes, I have,” he said.

    CNSNews.com then asked Reid if he was accepting the federal subsidy to help pay for that plan.

    “Yes, I am,” Reid said.

    Finally, CNSNews.com asked Reid why he thought accepting the subsidy was the right thing to do.

    “I’m just like 150 million other people in America,” Reid said. “My employer helps me pay for my health care.”

    Obamacare navigator can email your confidential information to his home computer

    By Chris Butler / December 19, 2013






    By Chris Butler | Tennessee Watchdog



    NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Suppose an Obamacare navigator in Tennessee gathered all your confidential information and emailed it to his or her home computer — and then claimed he did it only because he wanted to work from home.
    Would you go along with that story?


    Conceivably, that Obamacare navigator could have used that information for any number of criminal activities, including selling your Social Security information to others.


    While there are no known instances of it happening thus far, the scenario isn’t as far-fetched as you might think — considering what happened in Nashville this week.


    A former Tennessee Department of Treasury employee allegedly sent an email to his home computer containing the private information of 6,300 active Metro Nashville teachers, state officials said.


    Steven Hunter emailed the information to a computer that was unencrypted, said Treasury spokesman Blake Fontenay.
    CHECKING IN: Could an Obamacare navigator email your confidential information to his home computer?




    “All indications are that he sent the information to his personal email to work on a computer at home,” Tennessee Bureau of Investigation spokeswoman Kristin Helm told Tennessee Watchdog on Wednesday.


    “From the forensic analysis of that computer by TBI agents, the information does not appear to have been disseminated. At this time, the TBI’s investigation is still open and will be turned over to the District Attorney General for review when completed to determine how to proceed.”
    State officials explicitly trained Hunter not to do that, Fontenay said.


    The Treasury first employed Hunter in July, but he resigned last week, Fontenay said.
    “Mr. Hunter’s background check came back clean,” Fontenay said.


    In an email, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services spokesman Fabien Levy would not say whether the federal government requires a criminal background check of Obamacare navigators.


    “All navigators must complete a minimum of 20 hours of training and comply with privacy and security standards,” Levy said.


    “We take any alleged impropriety seriously and take immediate action in cases where navigators have failed to live up to their responsibilities.”
    According to DHS guidelines, states are permitted to adopt state-specific standards for navigators.


    Tennessee’s Department of Commerce and Insurance registers navigators and certified application counselors and conducts background checks, said TDCI spokeswoman Kate Abernathy.


    Seedco spokesman Brian Robinson said in an email his organization performs background checks on its navigators.

    SEEDCO: Seedco Mid-South Senior Vice President Lisa Pote introduces U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius at an event to promote Obamacare in Memphis last month.




    As Tennessee Watchdog has previously reported, the federal government awarded Seedco a $1.2 million contract to sign people up for Obamacare in the state.


    Certain Memphis residents participating in Temporary Assistance For Needy Families falsified paperwork and wrongly received almost $30,000 in taxpayer money through a Seedco subcontractor.


    According to the New York Post, the federal government sued Seedco for faking at least 1,400 of 6,500 job placements under a $22.2 million federally funded contract with New York City.

    URGENT: Obama has bypassed congress AGAIN with new insurance "rules" that are impacting hundreds of thousands and are disrupting the insurance market. Please SHARE.

    Insurance companies have already responded to Obama's new "rules" with shock, saying that he is causing "tremendous instability".

    Congress, do your duty and IMPEACH Barack Obama. Agree?



    Urgent: Obama Bypasses Congress With New Obamacare Rules


    capitalisminstitute.org
    Obama continues his unconstitutional exercise of power by ignoring Congress and making new rules under Obamacare. Please SHARE:



    Chaos: Obama Bypasses Congress With New Obamacare Rules

    We’ve already seen millions lose health insurance as Obamacare goes into effect.
    We’ve seen its job killing regulations and taxes.
    We’ve also seen how the Obama administration has played politics with the health insurance of millions of Americans by blatantly lying about keeping your insurance.

    Now, the president is bypassing Congress to write significant new rules that he says “clarify” part of the law. Unbelievable.
    FoxNews.com reports:
    The Obama administration, in an 11th-hour change just before the holiday break, announced a major exemption in Obamacare that will let people who lost coverage and are struggling to get a new plan sign up for bare-bones policies.
    The move Thursday to allow potentially hundreds of thousands of people to sign up for “catastrophic” coverage plans was blasted by the insurance industry as a shift that would cause “tremendous instability.”
    The administration downplayed the sudden change, saying they expected it to impact fewer than 500,000 people.
    Health and Human Services spokeswoman Joanne Peters said, “This is a common sense clarification of the law. For the limited number of consumers whose plans have been cancelled and are seeking coverage, this is one more option.”
    An administration official confirmed to Fox News that Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius sent a letter to Capitol Hill saying the administration was expanding the definition of catastrophic plans to deal with people who have not been able to get a new plan.
    Health insurance industry officials fear that the administration is downplaying the new rule and it will have a much more dramatic effect on the marketplace than the Department of Health and Human Services is willing to admit. They think that more than 500,000 people will sign up for the “catastrophic” coverage, leading to more marketplace instability and confusion among consumers.
    House Energy and Commerce Committee Vice-Chairman Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) blasted the rule as another “major policy shift” that came as a “holiday surprise” after Secretary Sebelius had been silent on changes in the Obamacare regulations.
    She said, “Less than two weeks from going live, the White House seems to be in full panic mode. Rather than more White House delays, waivers, and exemptions, the administration should provide all Americans relief from its failed law.”
    Congresswoman Blackburn is right. Rather than more complicated rules and delays, we should just delay this failed law permanently. This administration has already shown its incompetence during the disastrous rollout of Obamacare, and the law has caused nothing but trouble for Americans by killing jobs and forcing mass insurance cancellations.
    It’s time for the executive branch to respect the separation of powers principles enshrined in the Constitution and stop bypassing Congress on major policy issues.
    Help spread the word by “recommending” this article on Facebook to show that you stand against the president’s unconstitutional exercise of power.

    Dictator Obama Issues Massive 11th Hour ObamaCare Exemption

    Posted on December 20, 2013

    Why does Obama think he is above laws? Rules never seem to mean anything to him.

    Check it out:
    The Obama administration, in an 11th-hour change, announced significant exemptions for people who recently lost their insurance coverage and are struggling to get a new plan — drawing immediate criticism from the insurance industry and Republican lawmakers.
    Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius confirmed the changes, which include letting those individuals skirt the law’s individual mandate, in a letter to senators. She said she would allow people who got cancellations and could not find affordable new coverage to qualify for a “hardship exemption” in order to avoid a penalty next year for not having insurance.

    Further, she announced that those individuals will be able to purchase bare-bones plans that until now were available only for people under 30.
    The move, though, to allow potentially hundreds of thousands of people to sign up for “catastrophic” coverage plans was criticized by the insurance industry as a shift that would cause “tremendous instability.”

    The administration, which made the announcement right before the holiday break and as President Obama prepared to fly to Hawaii for vacation, downplayed the sudden change, saying they expected it to impact fewer than 500,000 people.

    Health and Human Services spokeswoman Joanne Peters said, “This is a common sense clarification of the law. For the limited number of consumers whose plans have been cancelled and are seeking coverage, this is one more option.”

    An insurance industry official told Fox News that while the administration was playing down the significance of the move, it could turn out to be a troublesome last minute change and the industry fears far more than the 500,000 people will apply.

    From Judicial Watch

    The three words that best describe Obamacare are: "Stink, stank, stunk"!

    JW Asks Court to Invalidate President Obama's Unconstitutional Obamacare Power Grab


    Washington has become the Scrooge that ruins Christmas for those of us involved in public policy. Instead of being a quiet period to commemorate the birth of Christ, enjoy time with our families, and to pleasantly work to deal with end of year demands in business, the politicians in Washington have turned the Christmas holidays into a time to upend the Constitution, pass deplorable legislation, and leak stories designed to disappear as most Americans focus on things other than politics.


    True to this, our out of control president yesterday rewrote Obamacare for the 14th time by eviscerating, through sheer fiat, the individual mandate. The disruption will be massive. Americans who followed the law will be made once again into suckers, and Establishment DC will tsk-tsk. Congressional Democrats are stricken in the face of their Obamacare disaster, so they do nothing in the face of Obama's acting on as a "one-man Congress." And most Republicans are happy to take advantage of the situation politically, while doing nothing substantively to vindicate the Constitution and rescue Americans from the Obamacare scourge.


    So as is so often the case in matters of rule of law, Judicial Watch is happy to step into the leadership gap. We just made a key filing in an important lawsuit that seeks to force Obama to obey his own Obamacare law.

    At the center of this court filing is a key question: Does President Obama have the authority to ignore a clear, congressionally-imposed deadline affecting hundreds of thousands of employers and millions of employees across the country on a matter of unquestionable importance?

    Judicial Watch put this question to a federal court on December 13, 2013 in a
    motion for summary judgment filed on behalf of Dr. Larry Kawa of Kawa Orthodontics in a lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Treasury, Secretary of Treasury Jack Lew, the Internal Revenue Service and IRS Acting Director Daniel Werfel over the Affordable Healthcare Act (ACA), also known as Obamacare.

    This landmark lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court in the Southern District of Florida, challenges the Obama administration's decision to delay the enactment of the so-called "employer mandate" provision of Obamacare.

    Judicial Watch attorneys, on behalf of Dr. Kawa, addressed this question directly:

    The answer to the question posed by this lawsuit is quite plainly "No." Defendants' delay of the mandate violates the Administrative Procedures Act ("APA"). It exceeds Defendants' statutory jurisdiction, authority, and limitations, is contrary to constitutional right, power, or privilege, and is otherwise not in accordance with law.

    Rejecting a date enacted into law by Congress and picking a new date more to the Executive Branch's liking is the epitome of arbitrary and capricious agency action. The Court should reject Defendants' lawlessness and restore the rule of law to the Executive Branch's implementation of the ACA. It should declare Defendants' postponement of the "employer mandate" to be unlawful, set aside Defendants' unlawful agency action, and reinstate the date established by Congress. The Court also should enjoin any further unauthorized delay of the mandate's effective date.

    The employer mandate, which subjects certain large employers to tax penalties if they do not offer "affordable," "minimum essential" health insurance coverage to their employees, is considered "
    a major pillar of the ACA." By law, the mandate was required to take effect January 1, 2014. On July 2, 2013, however, the Obama administration officially postponed the mandate without the approval of Congress.

    And what does the IRS have to say about all of this?

    Absolutely nothing. Sidestepping the constitutional issues entirely, the agency asked the court to toss the lawsuit, making the claim that Dr. Kawa
    "suffered no harm whatsoever" and thus lacks the "standing" to bring the lawsuit. The agency further stated that whatever funds Dr. Kawa expended to comply with the mandate is water under the bridge. Nothing the courts can do about it now.

    However, according to JW's
    opposition to the IRS motion to dismiss also filed on December 13, 2013, the unlawful delay of the "employer mandate" has caused Kawa Orthodontics "to lose the substantial time and resources it expended and the significant opportunity costs it incurred in anticipation of" the controversial provision taking effect beginning next year.

    And Dr. Kawa is not alone. According to the Agency for Health Research and Quality of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the number of employers in the United States having more than 50 employees is as high as 1.6 million, each of whom could be affected as well.

    "I am fed up with Washington, DC dictating our futures and playing politics with the law of the land. This is just more example of DC's career politicians thinking more about the next election than the next generation," said Dr. Larry Kawa of Kawa Orthodontics. "President Obama isn't above the law."

    At the end of the day, all Dr. Kawa is asking the court to do is to order the Obama administration to obey its own Obamacare law! The president shouldn't be able to rewrite a law because it might have unpleasant political consequences. This is an unconstitutional power grab that must be stopped by the courts as quickly as possible.

    And contrary to the bogus claims of the IRS, President Obama's decision to rewrite Obamacare has harmed and continues to harm Dr. Kawa's business - and, as a directly consequence, the many other citizens Dr. Kawa helps in his community.

    Dr. Kawa, a graduate of NYU School of Dentistry, has been a local business owner and community leader for over 20 years. He is on the board of directors for both PROPEL, a nonprofit foundation for underprivileged youth, and the Lynn University College of Business.

    "I work hard so that I can give back to my community. I help low-income youth by providing them free braces, and even sponsor Little League baseball. What is sad is that the administration's blatant disregard for the law hurts more than inside the Beltway, it hurts all over the homeland," stated Dr. Kawa. "Transparency and rule of law shouldn't just be terms in government class textbooks, they should be principles that are followed in government offices."

    We are grateful to be working with citizen-patriots like Dr. Kawa who are willing to take on this dictatorial administration in court in order to protect our precious Constitution.

    Here are some of JW's other filings related to the lawsuit if you would like the full details on this most important lawsuit:
    request for judicial notice; request for oral argument; and statement of material facts.

    More to come!

    Did the CIA Director John Brennan Leak Classified Details to the Press?

    Attorney General Eric Holder once called it "within the two or three most serious leaks I have ever seen." No, I'm not talking about Eric Snowden's document dump detailing a massive NSA spying scheme. I'm talking about the release of information related to international efforts to thwart a terrorist attack.

    And here's the key question: Was the current CIA Director John Brennan the man behind the leak? Documents obtained by JW confirm the answer is "yes."

    Judicial Watch released this week
    the full transcript of a May 7, 2012, teleconference between then-White House top counterterror adviser John Brennan and various TV terrorism consultants, in which Brennen reveals that the U.S. and its allies had "inside control over any plot" in its efforts to thwart a May 2012 terrorism bomb plot. Brennan is now CIA director. We got the transcript pursuant to a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit.

    The Brennan revelation of "inside control" - an intelligence community euphemism for spies within an enemy operation - reportedly helped lead to the disclosure of a previously well-kept secret at the heart of a joint U.S.-British-Saudi undercover terrorism operation inside Yemen-based al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP). According to a
    Reuters May, 18, 2012, report:

    The next day's headlines were filled with news of a U.S. spy planted inside Yemen-based Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), who had acquired the latest, non-metallic model of the underwear bomb and handed it over to U.S. authorities.

    At stake was an operation that could not have been more sensitive - the successful penetration by Western spies of AQAP, al Qaeda's most creative and lethal affiliate. As a result of leaks, the undercover operation had to be shut down.

    In May 2013, the Justice Department launched a wide-ranging investigation of leaks surrounding the thwarted "underwear bomb" terrorist attack. As I mentioned above, in defending the department's seizure of phone records from The Associated Press, Attorney General Eric Holder described the leaks as "within the two or three most serious leaks I have ever seen."

    In the transcript obtained by Judicial Watch, Brennan led the phone call where he addressed the top terror consultants for ABC, NBC, CNN, and CBS including Caitlin Hayden, Frances Townsend, Richard Clarke, Roger Cressey, and Juan Zarate. In an apparent attempt to soft-peddle the thwarted terrorist attack, Brennan twice exposes the covert operation; first at the outset of the call, then as the conference draws to a close:

    • BRENNAN: The device itself, as I think the FBI statement said quite clearly, never posed a threat to the American public or the public ... Well, as we, well know, al Qaeda has tried to carry out simultaneous types of attacks, and so we were confident that we had inside control over the - any plot that might have been associated with this device. (Emphasis added)


    • CLARKE: If it gets asked. There was no active threat because we had insider control ..


    • BRENNAN: I would not disagree with the way you put that, at all.

    Brennan later defended his comments in his February 2013 Senate Intelligence Committee confirmation hearing, while admitting to Sen. James Risch (R-ID) that he had, indeed, leaked the information about "inside control;" a leak Risch characterized as "the leak the Justice Department is looking for":

    • MR. BRENNAN: What I'm saying is that we were explaining to the American public why that IED was not, in fact, a threat at the time that it was in the control of individuals. When we say "positive control," "inside control," that means that we have, in fact, that operation, either environmentally or any number of ways ...


    • SENATOR RISCH: Having used the words that you used of "inside control," it isn't much of a leap to determine that somehow you had a handle on it.


    • MR. BRENNAN: It's not much of a leap to know that if in fact we said this IED was, in fact, obtained, and it was not a threat at the time, that there was some type of inside control. It is almost a truism.


    • SENATOR RISCH: Well, having said that, it seems to me that the leak that the Justice Department is looking for is right here in front of us.

    For all the news and controversy about NSA surveillance, I think the bigger issue is the congenital lying and skullduggery that seems to be increasing with leaders in our national security establishment. Panetta, Clapper, Petraeus, and Brennan all seem to be in the mold of prevaricators like Barack Obama and Bill Clinton rather than truth-tellers like Gen. Patton.

    It is abundantly clear that the Obama White House, in a self-serving attempt to garner favor with the American people over its handling of the "underwear bomb," blew the cover on a vital covert operation and exposed our agents to serious danger. Edward Snowden, the AP, Fox News and other targets of leak investigations may not be able to understand why Brennan has been able to skate by for this damaging leak.

    ***

    I want to close this week by wishing all of you and your families, on behalf of all of us here at Judicial Watch, a very Merry Christmas. There is no doubt that 2013 has been burdened with serious challenges to the Constitution and our country - many of them daunting to say the least.

    And it is at this time of year that I am reminded just how lucky we are at Judicial Watch to have such a passionate and patriotic group of friends and supporters. Together we have earned some key victories this year and more are on the horizon.

    So take a break. You've earned it. Enjoy your family members and your friends this holiday season as we celebrate Christmas and the New Year. (We will do our best to stand watch for you here in Washington during the break.) And rest assured that Judicial Watch will do everything in its power to make certain that better days are ahead for honest and constitutional government.

    God bless you!

    Until next week...

    Michelle knows best: Kids ‘owe’ it to their moms to enroll in Obamacare

    By Cheryl K. Chumley-
    The Washington Times
    Friday, December 20, 2013

      First Lady Michelle Obama attended a meeting with Communities In Schools board ... more >




    The White House is apparently turning to guilt to drive Americans toward Obamacare.

    First lady Michelle Obama told “Keeping it Real with Reverend Al Sharpton” that children owe it to their mothers to enroll in Obamacare.


    “You know, young people aren’t just living out there on their own. If they get sick and can’t afford it, who’s going to have to come in and clean up that financial mess but the parents and grandparents who care about them?”
    And quickly came the punch line.

    “So young people owe it to their mothers, to give mothers the peace of mind to know that they are insured and that they can take care of themselves if something goes wrong.”

    The White House has been exerting considerable effort lately to undo and overcome falling poll numbers that are tied directly to America’s growing dissatisfaction with Obamacare – and with President Obama’s numerous false statements that those who wanted to keep their existing plans could do so.

    The administration just wrapped a 16-day public relations campaign to push the public onto the exchange rolls. Part of that reach-out: To target mothers, and press them to sign family members up for Obamacare.

    Obama Repeals ObamaCare

    Posted on December 21, 2013

    Interesting spin. Though delay might be a more honest title for them to have used.

    Check it out:
    It seems Nancy Pelosi was wrong when she said “we have to pass” ObamaCare to “find out what’s in it.” No one may ever know because the White House keeps treating the Affordable Care Act’s text as a mere suggestion subject to day-to-day revision. Its latest political retrofit is the most brazen: President Obama is partly suspending the individual mandate.

    The White House argued at the Supreme Court that the insurance-purchase mandate was not only constitutional but essential to the law’s success, while refusing Republican demands to delay or repeal it. But late on Thursday, with only four days to go before the December enrollment deadline, the Health and Human Services Department decreed that millions of Americans are suddenly exempt.

    Individuals whose health plans were canceled will now automatically qualify for a “hardship exemption” from the mandate. If they can’t or don’t sign up for a new plan, they don’t have to pay the tax. They can also get a special category of ObamaCare insurance designed for people under age 30.
