If the BP oil spill is any indicator of how
ObamaCare will be managed by this administration,
our national healthcare system is in terrible
danger. See my vital message below - Mat

kathye,

I'm not sure which is a greater disaster: the BP oil spill or
the President's failure to effectively deal with it.

The major responsibilities of the federal government are
limited by the Constitution and its provisions. They include
national defense, regulation of our financial systems,
oversight of foreign relations, and taking steps to ensure
national survival of catastrophic events.

The BP oil spill catastrophe gives us another clear example
of how the Obama Administration handles its constitutional
responsibilities. Sadly, once again President Obama's lack
of
experience in executive leadership has been exposed during
the 57 days of this disaster.

++The President is using this crisis to promote his political agenda.

Instead of coming to the American people with clear solutions
to the oil spill in his speech from the Oval Office, the
President chose to use his time promoting the federal
government's takeover of two more major industries!

Although we learned little about specific measures the
administration will use to deal with the spill, we heard
all about the energy and environmental management sectors of
our economy being squarely in the socialists' crosshairs!

A few months ago, the President and his political
allies took over our healthcare system to ostensibly
"clean up" the system and prevent medical expenditures
from bankrupting the nation. Now his pitch on
"cleaning up" the BP oil spill involves passing
"clean energy" laws that amount to taking over
the energy industry.

White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel's admonition
to "never let a good crisis go to waste" is once again
ringing in our ears!

++Empty promises. Soaring deficits.

Please remember that ObamaCare was supposed to be "budget neutral"
or even bring about a reduction in the deficit. That was one of the
major sales points the President and his supporters trumpeted in
order to get the bill passed.

Last week, the Congressional Budget Office released estimates that
predict the healthcare overhaul will likely cost about $115 billion
more over ten years than their original projections. The additional
spending would bring ObamaCare's total estimated cost to well over
$1 trillion,

But several independent organizations predict that the TRUE cost
of ObamaCare will exceed $2.3 trillion! There is no doubt that
the Obama Administration used Madoff-style accounting in the
numbers they were feeding to the CBO.

We only have to look at the events surrounding the
Medicare and Medicaid funding fiasco over the past
few weeks to see what happens when the federal
government takes charge.

Yet the current regime in Washington, D.C. does not seem to
understand or care that their socialist policies and the
takeovers of major industries inevitably leads to similar
federal ineptitude while leaving a devastating trail of
misguided policies and inefficiency.

The fact is, President Obama and the 111th Congress used phony
accounting in order to make use of the "reconciliation" process
to pass an unconstitutional and unpopular bill. The American
people knew it, yet Congress turned a tin ear toward their constituents.

Here is the bottom-line question:

If the federal government can't manage a leaking oil
well or get "Cash for Clunkers" to work, how can it
effectively administrate the most advanced
healthcare system in the world?

++Liberty Counsel continues to fight ObamaCare.

On the day ObamaCare was signed into law, Liberty Counsel filed
our lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of ObamaCare. I
believe our lawsuit is ultimately headed to the Supreme Court.
We are quite confident that we can win this battle.

But we need your support. We want to deliver at least 150,000
support statements to key officials in the legislature, the
White House and the federal bureaucracy no later than next
week, and we are closing in on that goal.

This morning, we had a little over 113,000 signers. As you
probably know, House Republicans recently got Obama Care
supporters on record through a "motion to recommit" that
lost by a 187-230 margin.

Although that House vote has been "spun" as a failure to repeal
ObamaCare, 21 Democrats agreed with the entire Republican
membership that the "individual mandate" was unacceptable!

Our lawsuit and Statements of Support will make a real
difference in the ongoing struggle to keep ObamaCare from
being implemented.

Thank you for already joining over 113,000 citizens
who have signed the Statement of Support for our
lawsuit against ObamaCare. To help us hit the
target of 150,000 signatures, I urge you to forward
this message to 10-20 of your like-minded friends
and patriots.

Also, please consider making a special gift to
Liberty Counsel. We are working hard in the courts
and the court of public opinion to stop this
disastrous bill.

++ Socialists will not rest until we have a British-style system.

A few days ago I wrote to you about President Obama's nomination
as the head of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services
(CMS), Dr. Donald Berwick.

Berwick embraces a radical philosophy for national health care
systems that include rationing of care - and socialist-style
wealth redistribution using health care bureaucrats and the
IRS as agents.

Dr. Berwick fervently believes that a government-controlled
health care system, with bureaucrats making your decisions,
is better than the private marketplace. He believes that most
consumers are incapable of navigating through health care decisions.
"That is for leaders to do," he says.

Sadly, Dr. Berwick and his supporters are the same statists
who want to relieve citizens from making the medical life and
death decisions that we will face throughout our lives. They
have concocted pseudo-scientific formulas to calculate the
"life value"of funds paid by the government for medical services.


We must not reduce medical decisions in America to calculation
on some contrived "cost-benefit" analysis! Widespread rationing
of healthcare, as in Great Britain, is the inevitable result.

kathye, if appointed, Berwick will be steering the direction
of Medicare and Medicaid, while gaining an influential voice
in the overall implementation of ObamaCare.

++ Liberty Counsel fervently opposes health care rationing and
the socialization of our health care system.

Our lawsuit is constructed from the perspective of a public interest
organization, which is different than the states' lawsuits being
filed by 20 attorneys generals. Our lawsuit is a vital compliment
to the others being filed by the states and will receive its own
judicial process.

Liberty Counsel is on the forefront of this huge initiative to
fight ObamaCare all the way to the Supreme Court. I hope you'll
consider making a financial gift to help fight this monstrous
bill and to stand against other anti-family and anti-faith
attacks happening all across our nation.

We will not surrender our healthcare to socialists! We will not
cave in to the arrogant statists who are using every opportunity
to seize whole industries at a time. We will not bow to the
Obama/Reid/Pelosi machine who shamelessly betrayed the constitutional
trust that was given to them as elected officials.

Thank you for signing the Statement of Support for Liberty
Counsel's lawsuit against ObamaCare and for considering a
gift to Liberty Counsel. May God bless you!
