Malkin on Obamacare Thuggary - Anatomy of Nancy Pelo-cchio’s Astroturf brigade & RightMarch.com Pac Update

Madame Speaker Nancy Pelosi (affectionately known as Nancy Pelo-cchio among us “political terrorists” on the Right) snuck into a Denver health care clinic today, where she was greeted by 200 grass-roots protesters against socialized medicine — and a handful of Obama-bots and union members carrying identical HCAN signs.

I already noted this morning how one of the Obamacare activists yanked an anti-Pelosi sign out of a protester’s hands. Brown shirt, anyone?

There’s much more.

Denver photojournalist El Marco was at the event and has an amazing pictorial essay detailing how Pelo-cchio’s Astroturf brigade had to be coached by professional organizers — including several day laborers who didn’t speak English and couldn’t tell what the signs they were holding read. And they accuse Tea Party folks of being puppets?!

Congressional Town Halls Near You Are EXPLODING -- Click Here to Tell Congress to REJECT Obama's Socialized Health Care

ALERT: Congress has started their August recess... but it's NO VACATION!
At "town hall" meetings all across America, the grassroots -- ordinary patriotic Americans like YOU -- are coming out by the hundreds... and they are ANGRY.

  • ANGRY about "Obamacare" -- Obama's attempt to socialize our health care system!
  • ANGRY about Obama's push for "cap and trade" legislation, which will be the largest tax increase in U.S. history!
  • ANGRY about Obama's refusal to just show us his actual long-form birth certificate and PROVE he's a natural-born citizen!
  • ANGRY that Obama has taken over America's automobile industry!
  • ANGRY that Obama has nationalized America's banking industry!
  • ANGRY about Congress' attempt to pass the so-called "Hate Crimes" bill, which is really the "Pedophile Protection Act"!
Just click here to take a look at some of these Town Hall meetings... where the Members of Congress are finally facing the WRATH of their constituents for what they're doing to us:
We've also included a FULL LISTING of every single upcoming Health Care Town Hall Meeting that's being held across America, provided by our friends at TeaPartyPatriots.org. If you can, you need to attend YOUR local Town Hall meeting -- or, if your Congressman isn't having one or is already WITH US on these big issues, find the closest Town Hall meeting to you, and go to it to support your fellow patriots!
AND... if you can't go at all, or just want to make YOUR voice heard EVEN LOUDER... we're making it easy to contact EVERY SINGLE MEMBER OF CONGRESS WHILE THEY'RE ALL AT HOME ON BREAK! In addition, we've created a brand new 30-second ad that we want to run on television and radio stations across the nation -- but we need YOUR help to do it!

DISTRICT OFFICES NOW!

As we've told you, we asked our members to tell Congress to REJECT "ObamaCare" -- and it's ALREADY beginning to work!
Mind you, the radically liberal administration of Barack Hussein Obama -- with the help of his partners-in-crime Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid -- is still trying to FORCE Americans to accept socialized health care like Canada and Europe...
But since hundreds of thousands of patriots like YOU responded by taking action against them, they had to postpone their push to get their bill passed before the August recess!
According to a recent Wall Street Journal report, "Contrary to President Barack Obama's original deadline, neither the House nor the Senate will pass a health bill in the full chamber by the recess. Each chamber will have to reconcile internal differences in the fall. If successful, the House and Senate would then have to combine their separate versions into one."
That means we CAN stop this disastrous bill... IF we keep up the pressure. So we're going to make sure they continue to feel that pressure!
This is something we MUST do -- before it's too late. More than 88 million Americans could LOSE their private, employer-based coverage, according to a new analysis of "The American Affordable Health Choices Act of 2009" by The Heritage Foundation.
While Obama, Pelosi and Reid insist that "if you like your health insurance coverage, you'll get to keep it," it's now very clear: once again, THEY'RE LYING.
If the public plan is implemented as detailed in this bill, people with private insurance will be moved on a public plan, regardless of what they want, because their employers will make that decision because of the financial incentives in the bill.
That's not all: Yearly premiums for Americans with private coverage could jump as much as $460 per person as a result of more cost-shifting, which would stem from the public plan. Even doctors stand to lose thousands of dollars of income under the legislation. Annual physician net income is estimated to drop by 6.3 percent or $13.4 billion (coming in at an average $18,900 per physician) when compared with current trends.
Throughout the last presidential campaign, Barack Obama repeatedly promised the American people: "If you're a family that's making $250,000 a year or less you will see no increase in your taxes. Not your income tax, not your payroll tax, not your personal gains tax, not any of your taxes."
He lied. Just 15 days into office, President Obama signed a bill expanding the children's health insurance program that was paid for with a 156% tax hike on tobacco. Since slightly more than half of today's smokers (53%) earn less than $36,000 per year, Obama's first effort at expanding government's role in health care also became his first broken promise.
But that first Medicaid expansion was NOTHING compared to the estimated $1.3 trillion health care plan Congress is considering now. And how is Obama planning to pay for it? Tax hikes -- including employer health care mandates, which are really just a TAX on low-income workers, since employers will have to lower pay and cut jobs because of the tax penalties on them.
Is THIS "change we can believe in"??? NO -- and that means WE have to take action NOW!
We're already having an impact on this bill -- now, President Obama's bill for socialized health care will not have a final vote in Congress until they're back in session in September! Obama had previously identified the August congressional recess as the deadline for passage of his health care agenda -- but thanks to patriots like YOU, we've forced the far-leftists to postpone their agenda... giving US time to STOP this bill completely!
All of the Members of both houses of Congress are going home for the month of August -- so WE are going to confront them at Town Hall meetings all across America, and overwhelm them with messages to their home district offices AND a brand new 30-second ad that we want to run on television and radio stations across the nation -- but we need YOUR help to do it!

CARE -- BETTER KNOWN AS "OBAMACARE":

DISTRICT OFFICES NOW!

Barack Obama keeps insisting that "we have to do something NOW" about our "health care crisis" in America, to "stem the rising costs of health care." But isn't that what he said about his so-called "stimulus" package -- the one that is now costing in the TRILLIONS of dollars, and isn't helping anything -- in fact, is making our economy WORSE?
FoxNews reported that the Congressional Budget Office has projected that the House legislation will cost $1 trillion to $1.5 trillion over 10 years, depending on the plan adopted. The price tag sent shock waves through Washington and beyond -- as it SHOULD.
But the CBO can only project out 10 years by law. Other projections based on CBO's numbers and extending into the future show the bill could EXPLODE the deficit once the benefits are fully implemented. One estimate by the Republican staff of the House Ways and Means Committee estimated the deficit would increase by $759 billion over the first 10 years the benefits are fully in effect, which is in 2015. Another projection of long-range costs done by congressional staff shows deficits in the 2020s of $50 billion to $250 billion per year.
On top of that, while Obama and his supporters claim the legislation will be "deficit neutral," one senior administration official acknowledged Tuesday that the pledge does not apply to an estimated $245 billion to increase fees for doctors serving Medicare patients over the next decade.
We can't AFFORD Obama's plan to socialize health care in America!
Obama and the liberal Democrats in Congress are trying to insist that their plans for the government to take over health care in America isn't "socialized medicine" -- but the fact is, socialized medicine exists to the extent that government controls medical resources and socializes the costs. And that's exactly what "Obamacare" will do!
Everyone, even leftists, admit that Obama's plan for "public option" health insurance is simply a giant step towards "single payer" health insurance -- which is short-hand for a health care system, like Canada's, where the government pays all the bills. As far back as 2003, Obama stated very plainly, "I happen to be a proponent of a single-payer, universal health care plan."
Universal coverage is impossible without coercion; that's why the leading Democratic proposals would FORCE Americans to obtain health insurance, either on their own or through an employer. And what if you don't WANT to get the level of coverage that government officials mandate? You pay a fine. And what if you DON'T pay the fine? You go to jail.
There's absolutely ZERO evidence that anything beyond a basic health plan actually improves health outcomes, yet the individual and employer mandates that Obama and his cronies are trying to pass gradually make coverage less affordable by outlawing the leaner, less expensive plans. And you can be sure of this: if Congress enacts these mandates, we can say goodbye to health savings accounts as we know them.
And on top of all of this... the fact remains that we can't AFFORD this plan! In the face of an estimated $1.85 trillion federal budget deficit for FY2009 and projected trillion dollar annual deficits for the foreseeable future, how can anyone in Congress vote for this health care plan, which will cost at least $1 trillion over the next ten years? Plus, Congress is facing at least $53 trillion of unfunded liabilities due to its passage of the previous entitlement programs, Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and the recent addition of prescription drug coverage for Medicare. How can anyone in Congress vote for a new entitlement program for health care when Congress has not even begun to face up to this unfunded liabilities problem?
Well, they're trying to -- but WE can stop them, with YOUR help!
TAKE ACTION: We MUST keep the pressure on! We CANNOT let the radical liberals in Congress -- and the White House -- force this plan for socialized health care on the American people! That's why we've set up our website to enable you to confront them at Town Hall meetings all across America, and to send a strong message to every single member of Congress, in both Houses, OPPOSING this outrageous plan...
And your messages will go directly to every one of their home offices, in all 50 states and all 435 Congressional Districts!
For about what it would cost you in time and telephone charges, you can send Blast Faxes to Democrats, Republicans, Independents -- EVERYONE in the U.S. House AND the U.S. Senate, DEMANDING that they REJECT this socialized health care plan NOW! Plus... we've created an ad against "ObamaCare" that we plan to run across America!
Can it work? Can we stop Congress from forcing this down our throats, even though the GOP is in the minority?
YES -- thanks to the hundreds of thousands of messages that have come in to Capitol Hill, they're saying that Pelosi might not have the votes she needs in the House! And on the Senate side, thanks to the overwhelming opposition of the American people to this bill, Sen. Max Baucus (D-MT), chair of the Senate Finance Committee, was overheard jokingly telling House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Maryland, "let me tell you, praying might be helpful here."
We CAN do this! Remember, in 1993, First Lady Hillary Clinton tried to force a less radical form of socialized health care down our throats, thinking that they could do it since the Democrats controlled Congress AND the White House.
What was the result? 1994, and the Republican Revolution. The liberal Democrats are "shooting themselves in the foot" again by trying to pass even more radical socialized health care this time -- but we CAN stop them!

TELL CONGRESS TO REJECT SOCIALIZED HEALTH
CARE -- BETTER KNOWN AS "OBAMACARE":
SEND YOUR FAXES TO THEIR
DISTRICT OFFICES NOW!

We're starting to win. Please, take action right away to STOP this bill dead in its tracks!
Sincerely,

William Greene, President
