Yesterday, I wrote an opinion piece for LifeNews.com discussing the important issue of Life now at stake as the Democrats move to pass their “health care reform” legislation through Congress.  I encourage you to take a look and share it with friends and family if you have the time:     

I'm grateful that half a century ago, a certain young, scared and pregnant woman didn't walk into an Orwellian-named “community health center” funded by a Democrat healthcare scheme. If she had, I might not have made it out alive.

Instead, she walked into St. Ann’s Infant and Maternity Home, and we both received the medical and spiritual care that we needed. St. Ann’s made the connection between me and Maebell, the selfless, hardworking mom who adopted me and, later, my sister.

In the name of “health,” pro-abortion Democrats intend to turn community health centers – many of which are simply Planned Parenthood clinics - into taxpayer-sponsored abortion mills, funded with $11 billion ... more

Please join me in signing this pledge as a commitment to defeat Speaker Pelosi and any Democrat who goes along with her plan for government run health care:

Speaker Pelosi: You have proved that you will do anything to authorize a government takeover of our health care. Five years ago, you said that the tricks you are using to pass this bill were unconstitutional. Now you have deemed them necessary to furthering your agenda. Your actions are despicable, and you and your allies will be held accountable for them.

To any Democrat who chooses to join with Speaker Pelosi in supporting the passage of the health care bill currently under consideration: I pledge my time, energy, and money to ensuring that you are removed from office this November. I will live up to my pledge.

Madam Speaker, you and your allies are employees of the American people, and we will fire you for what you have done.

Sign the Pledge NOW.

As the Democrats prepare their final push on health care “reform,” I think we'd do well to remember the words  President Obama once spoke, first as a candidate for the U.S. Senate in 2004 and then as a presidential candidate:  “[t]here’s not a liberal America and a conservative America; there's the United States of America.”

Unfortunately for President Obama, the United States of America opposes his plan for government-run health care.  The American people are united against the plan because of eye-grabbing headlines showing the chaos and deception surrounding the Democrats' health care push which has taught them how bad this bill is, how twisted this process has gotten, and how tragically desperate the Democrats have become.

Americans have learned about the abuses the Democratic majority is perpetrating upon our system of governance, including the use of obscure and possibly unconstitutional House and Senate legislative procedures to squeak by an unpopular bill that will ... more

Rep. Paul Ryan tells Fox’s Greta exactly why the President and Democrats in Congress – despite clear warning signs in ugly polls and ominous election defeats like the one in Massachusetts – are still forcing a flawed health care bill on the American people: 

…really what this is more about is ideology than health care policy. Because if this was about health care policy we could get a bi-partisan agreement tomorrow. It’s not about health care policy. They are trying to ram it through as fast as they can before their power slips away from them and that’s why they’re trying to create this brand new entitlement which really does have the government takeover 17% of our economy…

"You've got to break out of what I call the - sort of - 50-plus-one pattern of presidential politics, which is you have nasty primaries where everybody's disheartened, then you divide the country… and then you can't govern…" Those were candidate Obama’s words during the 2008 campaign. How times have changed.

In 2008, candidate Obama delivered a series of impassioned speeches in key battleground states.  He galvanized the electorate with anti-Washington rhetoric and instilled in voters the belief that America can overcome its challenges if we put aside politics and transcend our differences for the greater good.  America believed that he could help turn their hope into real action.  It was this rhetorical ability that helped push his candidacy across the finish line.

But this week President Obama began a series of speeches designed to promote his much-maligned health care bill.  He’s employing the same strategy as in ’08, casting his version of health care as a matter of ... more
