'America is at a crossroads. This is a defining moment'

An "R.D." – a Real Doctor – in South Dakota who has made a career of serving the needs of his patients is warning consumers they need to oppose President Obama's health care plan – loudly and right now – or be prepared to give up a long list of rights enumerated in the Bill of Rights.

"America is the only nation in the world where we get our rights from God, not the government," Dr. Allen Unruh of Sioux Falls says in a series of videos posted on YouTube.

He said in the case of the $1 trillion health care plan under review in Congress, "Government appoints themselves God. … Whatever the government gives the government can take away."

"All of our lives are threatened," Unruh states. "America is at a crossroads
. This is a defining moment. We need to rise up and fight for freedom."

He also directs viewers, in the last part of his video presentation, to a special program designed to send "pink slips"' to all 535 members of the U.S. House and U.S. Senate.

Joseph Farah, editor and chief executive officer of WND, says the "pink slips" notify members of Congress that they could be getting their own permanent "pink slips" in the 2010 election if they support more spending, socialized medicine, cap and trade legislation and hate crime bills.

Unruh told WND he felt he had to do something to alert people to "the biggest threat to our country since the Revolutionary War."

He said that's because once a socialist program takes over health care, it never will be reversed. He cited government decisions on what services would be provided, new restrictions on what doctor's can provide to patients, new taxes to subsidize the program and the vast unknown about what else the government will do under a program that essentially is being approved before it is being written.

Further, he cited a recent event at the White House in which a number of doctors were staged as an audience to listen to Obama promote his health care plan.

"This is one doctor who's going to speak out … against this," he told WND.

He broke the message into multiple videos simply because of the complexity of the issue, he said:

"Go to WND.com under the 'pink slip' project," he told viewers. "Every politician who votes [for this] needs to be replaced."

"I don't want a tyrannical bureaucrat between me and my patients," he said.

So far, more than 2.5 million pink slips – half the original goal of 5 million – have been ordered and processed, with many of them already on their way to Washington.



This week, the powerful American Family Association agreed to support the campaign by publicizing it to millions of its activist members.

In its first two weeks, the campaign to send "pink slips" to Congress has resulted in an unprecedented and historic effort that has generated more than 2.5 million individually addressed notices to all members of the House and Senate – proving, once again, says Farah, "that Americans are mobilized to take action to stop Washington's plans for bigger, more expensive and more intrusive government."

The "pink slips" specifically warn that senders will oppose in the next election any member of Congress who votes for more spending, intrusive legislation that restricts personal freedom and more big government programs.

WND announced the "Send Congress a Pink Slip" campaign just 14 days ago with a stated goal of 5 million notices, individually addressed, personalized with sender's name and address and delivered to all members of Congress by Fed Ex.

In the first week, suppliers of paper
to the campaign reported the campaign had completely tapped the nation's supply of 8.5 x 11 inch pink paper. As the last full pallet of pink paper was delivered to the printer, new supplies had to be ordered and manufactured.

"It's our version of a stimulus program," said Farah.

The idea was conceived by Janet Porter of Faith2Action and a WND weekly columnist.

"We set a goal of 5 million pink slips to members of Congress," she said. "It looks like we were too conservative in our projections. We will likely surpass that goal. I'm sure this has never been done before – and we're just getting started. This is unprecedented. It's a new record for getting the attention of Congress in such a short span of time."

Porter said the highest priority of members of Congress is re-election. The campaign is designed to put them on notice their hopes of staying in Washington are fading fast.

"There is a revolution brewing across this country," she said. "People are angry about losing their country and they are ready for action. This campaign is just the latest evidence."

The "Send Congress a Pink Slip" campaign ensures that a brief but poignant message will be delivered by Fed Ex to all 535 members of the House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate – all for a remarkably low price based on economies of scale.

The cost of each message translates to six cents per message – individually addressed for both the recipient and the sender and shipped by Fed Ex.

"We encourage citizens to take individual actions," said Farah. "But when we act as a group, it's more cost-effective and the results more dramatic. Just try Fed Exing members of Congress yourself and see what it costs. We have learned from past experience that Fed Ex actually ensures delivery to members. What they do with them at that point is their choice."

The program is based on several other successful programs of the past, including one last summer that delivered 705,000 letters to senators protesting a "hate crimes" bill dubbed by critics as "the Pedophile Protection Act."

"I believe this is already the most successful grass-roots effort in history," said Porter. "After all the town halls and tea parties and the massive demonstration in Washington, Congress still hasn't gotten the message. Now it's time to show them just how serious we are with a message aimed at what they most care about – getting re-elected."

The "pink slip" officials are getting is a warning that they work for the taxpayers. It lists four key issues that are deemed unacceptable to participants.

* government health care
* cap and trade
* "hate crimes"
* any more spending

"If you vote for any of these, your real pink slip will be issued in the next election," it warns.

The program permits participants to Fed Ex 535 individually addressed messages to members of Congress, each one with the name and address of the sender for a total price of $29.95.

"This is a program that only works with massive numbers of participants that bring paper and printing and shipping costs way down," explains Farah, editor and chief executive officer of WND, which has conducted similar programs in the past – this one being the largest and most ambitious.

Farah and Porter say the campaign will continue indefinitely.
