ANTI GUN ALERT

district50ablog.blogspot.com

********************ALERT**********************

I just received word that Columbia Heights Mayor Gary Peterson joined the National Anti-gun Group "Mayors Against Illegal Guns". This is a group started by ultra leftist Michael Bloomberg, Mayor of New York City to oppose important pro-gun reforms and to support new federal gun control restrictions. It is critical that Mayor Peterson disassociate himself from this anti- gun group and you can do your part by contacting his office today and urging him to withdraw his MAIG membership.

Please call, e-mail and write Mayor Peterson today and ask him to support law-abiding gun owners by publicly disassociating himself from Michael and "Mayors Against Illegal Guns." Help him make the right choice between protecting your Second Amendment rights or continuing to be associated with those who actively oppose and undermine your firearms freedom.

Are We In America or Amerika?

By INVESTOR'S BUSINESS DAILY | Posted Friday, August 07, 2009 4:20 PM PT

Public Debate: Democrats, bloodied over their attempt to force health care "reform" on Americans, are looking more unreasonable and hysterical by the day. This isn't healthy for the republic.

From the moderator: REFLECTION IN THE MIRROR

The Democrat Party
Suffered an ironic, covert death.
Killed by the same flesh eating rot,
That killed one hundred million,
With it’s breath.
Falsely, crying horrible foul,
To the GOD they disavow.
And wailing louder still,
When we refuse to bow,
To what these tyrannical appeasers,
All along should have known.
The reflection in the mirror
Is a creation all their own.
Look deep into the glass,
Betrayers of life,
To whom the mulct paid,
Is the sound of chains,
And the sickly smell of clotting blood,
Sweet in your nostrils.
As purposefully ignorant minions,
Stride heavy booted,
Down the slimy slope to hell.
Where the lust to control presides!
And human life has no worth,
But to honor slavery’s knell,
With liberty’s dearth.

Dear Supporter of Responsible Health Reform,

Tomorrow you have the chance to make your voice heard on the national stage. On Friday at 1:00PM EDT, Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius and other public officials will host a webcast to talk about health care reform. This is an important opportunity to ask Secretary Sebelius and her colleagues serious questions about the negative impact of a government-run plan.

The public is invited to submit questions to this forum, which is entitled, "Health Insurance Reform - What's in it For You?" Questions can be mailed to hhsstudio@hhs.gov and submitted via Twitter by using the "hashtag," or reference code, #HCRQ.

This is a great opportunity to ask the tough questions. Several sample questions you might consider are listed below. Please phrase them in your own words so that they reflect your personal thinking on the issues.
Sample questions for tomorrow's webcast:

    * How does the current legislation bring down healthcare costs while at the same time promising no limits on care and artificially-capped premiums? It doesn't add up, and the Congressional Budget Office agrees.
    * How is it possible for government-run health care to be sustainably funded and not reliant on taxpayer money when it's a proven fact that other - and smaller-scale - government-run health programs like Medicare and Medicaid soon will run out of cash?
    * How will it be possible to choose a private health insurance plan if more and more people jump to a less expensive government-run health plan? Won't that cause my premiums to rise - or even put my health plan out of business?
    * What guarantees are there that my healthcare options won't be determined by bureaucrats instead of my doctor?

This forum is a great way for people like you to show that you are paying attention and concerned about proposals for a plan that could balloon the deficit, increase costs, and reduce health care choices. We hope you can join this webcast and submit your questions!

CFIF.org, Patriot Update and GOPUSA

district50ablog.blogspot.com

from CIFI.ORG

"Damn The Transparency... Full-Speed Ahead.

Make no mistake, the powers-that-be in Washington did not want you to know what is in this horrendous Obamanation that they are calling "health care reform."

In fact, some Democrats - led by Speaker Pelosi -- are trying to suppress the truth about ObamaCare ... prevent We the People from knowing the facts about this legislation.

According to Roll Call:

"Democrats are preventing Republican House Members from sending their constituents a mailing that is critical of the majority's health care reform plan, blocking the mailing by alleging that it is inaccurate."

"House Republicans are crying foul and claiming that the Democrats are using their majority to prevent GOP Members from communicating with their constituents.

"'Hiding the truth about wildly unpopular policies is a Democrat specialty,' said one GOP aide. 'I'd like to see the flow chart on how Speaker [Nancy] Pelosi plans on implementing the open and transparent government she keeps promising everyone.'"

Last month, five governors made the "mistake" of using the word "rationing" in discussing proposed health care legislation making its way through Congress.

Response from the Administration was quick. Don't use that term. We don't want the American people to think about having to cut back on procedures now available to them.

But despite these efforts, the truth is getting out. People are coming to know that ObamaCare is rationed care... long waiting lines for government-approved treatments dictated by bureaucrats in Washington.

If you think your family's health care decisions should be made between you and your doctor rather than a morass of bureaucrats, we must kill ObamaCare once and for all.

If we let them sneak it past us, there will be no going back. "

Conflict of Interest for Rep. Ellison???

This article was sent to district50ablog.blogspot.com by a concerned citizen.

Islamic nonprofit paid for Rep. Ellison's pilgrimage to Mecca
KEVIN DIAZ, Star Tribune

WASHINGTON - Days after his return from an unannounced pilgrimage to the Islamic holy site of Mecca, U.S. Rep. Keith Ellison talked about it as a transformational personal experience, saying "I didn't want to turn it into a politics thing."

Nearly eight months later, the Minneapolis DFLer faces a House Ethics Committee review of his decision to keep the trip's costs under wraps -- even though it was paid for by a local Islamic nonprofit and typically would be reported as a gift to a public official.

Asked about the trip Tuesday, Ellison said that he is "not privy to the internal workings of the organization" that covered his costs, and that he complied with all House Ethics panel disclosure requirements. "Why should I waive a right that's accorded me under the rules?" he said.

Tax records show the group that paid Ellison's expenses, the Muslim American Society of Minnesota, received nearly $900,000 in taxpayer money in 2006 and 2007 from a rental arrangement for Tarek ibn Ziyad Academy (TiZA), an Inver Grove Heights charter school.

The man who accompanied Ellison to Mecca, Asad Zaman, is executive director of the TiZA school, a political contributor of Ellison's and was president of the Muslim American Society until August, when the Mecca trip was planned.

TiZA has been sued by the American Civil Liberties Union and probed by state officials for allegedly promoting Islam, which would violate the church and state separation required of public schools -- including charter schools.

The school received state funding to pay rent to the Muslim American Society Property Holding Corp., a nonprofit spinoff of the Muslim American Society that owned the building. The corporation then turned over $879,000 to the Muslim society as a grant.

Those close connections have opened Ellison to questions about the nature of the trip. Ellison on Tuesday called it "a private trip," adding that he had told the ethics committee of the trip beforehand and received its approval. A spokesman for the school says no public money was used for the trip, or Hajj, which Ellison took as a once-in-a-lifetime fulfillment of his religious duty as a practicing Muslim. The 16-day pilgrimage is considered one of the most solemn acts in Islam, one that is supposed to be undertaken free of debts and unmet family obligations.

Ellison has justified withholding the cost by citing the religious nature of his journey to Saudi Arabia, saying it had nothing to do with his duties as a congressman.

Such trips generally must be reported under congressional gift rules that call for full financial disclosure. IRS rules, moreover, bar nonprofit religious groups from furthering individuals' "private interests."

Ellison, however, reported the trip under more permissive House rules for outside business activities -- Boy Scout trips, for example -- that are unrelated to congressional duties, but which are not purely for private benefit. Those rules do not require cost accounting.

A public figure who has faced some hostility as the first Muslim member of Congress, Ellison has been reluctant to reveal details of the trip, which is estimated to have cost several thousand dollars.

School connection

The Muslim American Society's grants -- for $550,000 in 2007, and $329,000 in 2006 -- represented the proceeds of rent paid by the state of Minnesota for TiZA.

The financial connection to the school rent money is spelled out in the holding company's tax filings for 2006 and 2007: "Receives rent from government agency and donates to MAS of MN [Muslim American Society of Minnesota]."

Zaman did not respond to several inquiries seeking comment on the Mecca trip. In the ACLU's lawsuit, which alleges that the property holding company effectively transferred government charter school funds to the Muslim American Society of Minnesota, the ACLU quotes Zaman as saying that "Islam makes no distinction between public and private life."

Twin Cities public relations executive Blois Olson, who is serving as a spokesman for the school, said there is no connection between the TiZA rent money and Ellison's trip, which took place in late November and early December of 2008.

Olson said the Muslim American Society of Minnesota stopped getting the rent funds for the school in early 2007, more than a year before the trip.

At that time, the school property was transferred to the Minnesota Education Trust, Olson said, a separate nonprofit that now acts as TiZA's leaseholder. As part of that transfer, Olson said, the Muslim American Society of Minnesota Holding Corp. turned over $315,000 in rent proceeds to the trust.

The rest of the lease aid, Olson said, went to retire a private $1.3 million loan on the school property.

As a religious organization, the Muslim American Society of Minnesota is not required to make its finances public.

Olson said the Muslim group funded Ellison's trip because it wanted to improve communications "between Muslim-Americans and the broader Muslim world."

'Public trough'

The connection between the school and Ellison's trip has propelled him squarely into at debate in the Minnesota Legislature about leasing organizations like the Muslim American Society Property Holding Corp. and how they use their public rent funds.

Rep. Mindy Greiling, DFL-Roseville, who chairs the K-12 Education Finance Division Committee, said the state funds were intended to help charter schools rent space.

She said she is troubled by the large grants to the Muslim American Society of Minnesota, whether or not the money can be tied directly to Ellison's trip.

"It calls into question the sensibility of the people who lead the school," Greiling said. "And to send Keith Ellison off to Mecca just compounds it."

State officials say the arrangement illustrates long-standing concerns about the relationship between charter schools and the affiliated groups who hold their leases.

Chas Anderson, deputy commissioner for the state education department, said that state law does not regulate how lease dollars are spent by such property-holding corporations.

"While this type of relationship is legal, it is nonetheless concerning," she said of the TiZA payments.

TiZA, which also has a campus in Blaine, received an estimated $4.7 million in state aid this year, including more than $520,000 in annual lease aid. The school also got more than $873,000 in federal charter school grants last year.

Chuck Samuelson, executive director of the Minnesota ACLU, said the flow of any public funds to a sectarian group that funded a public official's trip to a religious site heightens the questions Samuelson's group has raised about the separation of church and state.

"The group that paid for it [the trip] gets a large part of its money from the public trough," Samuelson said.

La Raza Wants Illegals Covered for Healthcare by Taxpayers

FAIR Legislative Update - June 22,2009

La Raza Demands Obama's Health Reform Plan Cover Illegal Aliens

["On Monday, June 15, the National Council of La Raza (La Raza), an open borders advocacy group, issued a statement calling upon Congress to ensure that illegal aliens are given health benefits if and when Congress considers health care reform.

La Raza's statement "strongly urge[d] President Obama and Congress to make every effort to ensure that health care reform reaches all communities" in the United States, and stressed that "one out of every three uninsured persons and roughly 40% of all uninsured children [in the United States] are Latino," and demanded "health care reform that makes coverage affordable and accessible for everyone — all families and all children." ]

Government health care plantation looms by Star Parker as published on Townhall.com

"What is now being billed as health care reform is but the latest chapter in a process I described in an earlier column as "Back on Uncle Sam's Plantation."

Rather than moving dysfunctional America off the welfare state, as we did with welfare reform in 1996, we are now moving the free, functioning, and once prosperous part of our nation onto the welfare state."

World Renowned Mayo Clinic Declares Government Health Care Unsustainable
"While we appreciate this recognition, we question whether our political leaders realize that many doctors and hospitals that offer this high-value care are reaching the point where we cannot afford to provide it to patients with government-sponsored insurance such as Medicare and Medicaid. We worry that the same could hold true for patients in a new government-run public insurance plan. Despite the fact that we strive to give patients the right level of care -- everything they need, no more and no less -- we consistently suffer huge financial losses due to the government price-controlled Medicare payment system, which financially punishes providers who offer higher quality care at a lower cost. Last year alone, Mayo Clinic lost hundreds of millions of dollars caring for Medicare beneficiaries -- the very patients with complex, complicated illnesses that we want to see and can serve well. Because of this shortfall, our other patients pay more to make up the difference. Someday soon, neither Mayo Clinic nor those other payers will be able to afford this situation." - OpEd, Dr. Denis Cortese and Jeffrey Korsmo, Chicago Tribune

CMPI-Advance President Exposes the Truth Behind New House Health Plan
"AAHCA really isn't about creating a low-cost plan that promotes quality and access to care. Most of all it's just a way to take care of the interest groups that got the Dems elected. Secondarily it's about establishing a single payer health plan...Now you might be wonder, how the government plan recruits doctors and providers to this exciting new enterprise? Actually, it forces any provider getting paid by Medicare to join the plan...If you want access to affordable health care of reasonable quality, don't go to Congress or President Obama. Go West. There is only one place left where health care will flow like milk and honey. And that is in the new medical Republic of Waxmania. That might be funny if it weren't true." - OpEd, Dr. Robert Goldberg, American Spectator

district50ablog.blogspot.com

If Government-run Health Care Doesn't Work Abroad, Why Would it Work Here?
"To wit, tax increases that would take U.S. rates higher even than most of Europe. Yet even those increases aren't nearly enough to finance the $1 trillion in new spending, which itself is surely a low-ball estimate. Meanwhile, the bill would create a new government health entitlement that will kill private insurance and lead to a government-run system...The public insurance "option" doesn't even begin until 2013 and the costs are heavily weighted toward the later years, but the tax hikes start in 2011. So under Congress's 10-year budget window, the House bill is able to pay for seven years of spending with nine years of taxes. Andy Laperriere of the ISI Group estimates the bill would add $95 billion to the deficit in 2019 alone." - Review & Outlook, Wall Street Journal

district50ablog.blogspot.com

Government WILL Ration Care
"Now first of all, if there are problems with Medicare, the laws and regulations governing Medicare--a government program--can be changed, without a government take-over of the rest of the system...For in reality the government isn't going simply to reward 'good' and penalize 'bad' admissions. It's going to prevent insurance companies from paying for 'unnecessary' admissions and procedures, if those companies want to participate in the government system. In other words, government bureaucrats are going to deem entire categories of treatment inefficient for all or certain categories of patients, and put those treatments out of bounds for doctors and hospitals." - OpEd, William Kristol, Weekly Standard

This 3-minute, low-budget, home-brew video is the most effective presentation I have seen on the national debt.

Reagan accelerated it. Bush 2 was worse than Reagan. Obama is worse than Bush. The point is: there seems to be no turning back.

Hooray for YouTube. It allows unknown people to get the message out.

This deserves wide circulation. Forward it.
