"President Obama suggested at a town hall event Wednesday night that one way to shave medical costs is to stop expensive and ultimately futile procedures performed on people who are about to die and don't stand to gain from the extra care."
-- Peter Nicholas, Los Angeles Times
Dear GOPUSA Activist,
Just when it looked like Barrack Obama's plan for Government-Run Health Care might be dead on arrival, ABC - now being rightfully called the "All Barack Channel" - comes charging to the rescue.
Forget journalistic integrity! Airing all points of view... not at ABC News....
Instead, the network literally moved its news operation and teleprompters directly into the White House and aired a pathetically disguised primetime infomercial... propaganda under the guise of a "Special Report" ... designed to peddle Obama's snake-oil to the American people.
Brent Bozell of the Media Research Center:
"President Obama is trying to put our nation on the fast track to socialized health care, and on June 24, the ABC network will help him sell this bill of goods to the American people. ... ABC News will transform the White House into their newsroom for what has been described as an unabashed infomercial promoting the Democrat agenda--more specifically, government-run health care."
Bozell added:
"ABC News has abandoned all pretense of journalistic integrity in its bid to be the administration's official salesman for ObamaCare. ... this 'news special' becomes nothing more than an extended infomercial designed to scare and manipulate the American people into supporting a trillion-dollar government takeover of the highest quality health care system in the world!"
There can be no doubt that ABC News can no longer be called a credible or legitimate news organization. There can be no doubt that Obama and the liberal elites in the media are willing to fight tooth-and-nail, down to the last man. And there can be no doubt that they will do anything in their quest to shove socialized health care down the throats of the American people.
That's why we have our work cut out for us. ObamaCare is not dead... far from it. This battle is just beginning.
In fact, they have the momentum and if we don't speak up, right here and right now, they will win.
In the coming days, federal legislators will undoubtedly feel ever-increasing pressure - brought on by an impending media blitz - to cave to Obama's demands.
The quality of your health care and your children's health care will diminish... the availability of your health care and your children's health care will diminish... it will be rationed... your health care choices will be severely restricted... and, as a nation, we will all be forced to pay more for less.
We can't let that happen. Our elected officials need to hear from you again and they need to hear from you now.
Use the hyperlink below to send your urgent Blast Fax messages to President Barack Obama and each and every Member of the Republican and Democratic leadership of the United States Senate and the United States House of Representatives - or alternatively to President Obama all 535 Members of Congress.
Tell them that you are not fooled by ABC's propagandized push for ObamaCare. Demand that they stand up and oppose this $1.6 trillion monstrosity that is government-run health care. Tell them that the American people do not want a system that rations care, limits choices and puts government bureaucrats - rather than you and private doctor - in charge of your family's health care decisions.

The Lady Doth Protest Too Much...
ABC News spared no time or expense when it came to publicizing their Obama infomercial.
Here's a description of one of the hard-hitting promotional ads they aired in the days leading up to their Obama propaganda piece.
Red, white, and blue stars and bars flashed across the screen... then a heavy and dramatic bass-line played in the background... and finally footage of our fearless leader, Barack Obama, looking introspective, commanding and presidential, came across the screen, as a melodic-voiced narrator boomed forth:
"What's more important than having good health care when you need it? Nothing."
"That's why Wednesday at 10 on ABC Charlie Gibson and Diane Sawyer take you inside his house: The White House, for a television event as President Obama answers all of your tough questions about your health care."
But ABC News' propaganda infomercial didn't air "your" questions. In fact, they "refused" to air "your" questions.
According to HumanEvents.com: "The network plans to devote the day's coverage to President Obama's health care plan and has refused to air any opposing viewpoints during the broadcast. ABC has also refused any advertising Wednesday that would challenge Obama's views on health care."
And, are pre-selected questions, "tough" questions?
ABC News Vice President Kerry Smith admitted:
"ABC News alone will select those who will be in the audience asking questions of the President."
And yet, even though it is now so sickeningly obvious that ABC News is in the tank for ObamaCare, media elites still have the audacity to deny the obvious.
According to Bobby Eberle of GOPUSA.com:
"Diane Sawyer, co-host of ABC's 'Good Morning America' recently went on the air to defend the program and deny that it was a glorified infomercial. She actually said she is proud of the program, because it's important to have a debate on this serious issue. Note to Dianne... it might just be me, but I thought it takes two opposing sides to have a debate. Right?"
To quote William Shakespeare; "The lady doth protest too much, methinks."

Did ABC News Tell You That You May Not Be Able to Keep Your Current Insurance Under ObamaCare?
When addressing the American Medical Association (AMA) recently, Obama emphatically stated that under his plan:
"If you like your doctor, you will be able to keep your doctor, period. If you like your health care plan, you'll be able to keep your health care plan, period. No one will take it away, no matter what."
But nothing could be further from the truth! Even President Obama himself is trying to backtrack on that promise. Ramesh Ponnuru with National Review recently spelled it out for us:
"White House officials suggest the president's rhetoric shouldn't be taken literally: What Obama really means is that government isn't about to barge in and force people to change insurance."
"Right: It will just set in motion a chain of events that will cause you to lose your current insurance. Nothing to worry about...."
Jim Lindgren, writing for the popular Internet blog Volokh Conspiracy, spells it out in more detail:
"[I]f the Obama plan is enacted, a substantial portion of employers will cut their health subsidies -- raising their employees' share of contributions to the company plan -- in order to drive some of the employees into the government exchange and the public option. Other employers may drop their plans altogether -- after all, workers could buy their own coverage in the government exchange -- or simply fund part of their workers' participation in the exchange. These changes, which would be the direct results of the implementation of the Obama plan, would make it virtually impossible for Obama to keep these promises...."
When it comes to our future health care choices, if we allow ObamaCare to pass, Henry Ford's statement on the Model-T Ford comes to mind:
"You can have any color you want, as long as it's black."

Did ABC Mention That ObamaCare Would Undermine Parental Rights? Did ABC Tell You That As Many As 119 Million Americans Would Lose Their Current Health Care Coverage?
According to the Heritage Foundation, ObamaCare will undermine parental authority.
"President Obama's health care plan will chip away at the fundamental rights parents have in key health care decisions for their family by centralizing crucial health care decision-making over plans and benefits in Washington."
Heritage also points out that ObamaCare will put "federal bureaucrats in control of health care decisions," which "could also compromise the rights of families to secure the kind of health coverage that is compatible with their ethical, moral, or religious convictions."
But that's not all. Heritage goes on to highlight that ObamaCare will shackle families with unknown costs and that a huge number of Americans would lose the coverage they now enjoy:
"Independent analysis projects that as many as 119 million Americans could lose the coverage they have today. Employers would be incentivized to drop private coverage, regardless of individual preferences in the matter."
And yes, according to Heritage, government "bureaucrats" will become the "moral decision-makers."
"As biomedical advances push us into ever-more murky ethical depths about everything from prenatal concerns to end-of-life decisions, the Obama health agenda would hand the moral compass over to anonymous bureaucrats to decide what questionable health benefits the government plan will cover."
The evidence is clear. ObamaCare is not what the doctor ordered.
We can fight ObamaCare. We can beat ObamaCare. But we must continue to fight it - and Obama's propaganda machine that is ABC - right now.
We the People must take back the momentum against this 1.6 trillion dollar government take over of our health care decisions.
