The time for a government takeover of our health system is bearing down upon us; and we must do all we possibly can to stop this intrusion into our lives!
For the last several days I have received calls from all over the country by Americans desperate to know what more they can do, and offering their support for STAND. I have been following Presidential politics since Jimmy Carter, but I have never seen people more angry and frightened about what a President is trying to do.
This is it! We are engaged in the most critical domestic policy battle in the last one-half century! Never before have I seen a President arrogantly say to the American people that he is going to force through the very thing that we have said loudly, persistently and overwhelmingly that we do not want. We have voiced our opinion in the polls. We have said it in telephone calls and faxes. We have expressed it in town hall meetings. We have said it at Tea Party rallies and bus tours. President Obama has completely ignored us and continues to press ahead. It has not just been the Republican Party saying, "No." It has been the people saying "NO."
This defiance of the will of the American people on an issue that will change our lives dramatically is unprecedented. It is a violation of the spirit of democracy and the letter of the Constitution. THIS WILL BE A MANDATE. EVERYONE WILL BE FORCED TO COME UNDER OBAMA'S PLAN. Either join the plan or pay the price. At first, it will be fines, but what if you fail to pay the fine. Then what? Prison?
I am also an Attorney, and not given to legal hyperbole. The American legal system and our U. S. Constitution give us certain protections that make it hard to deny us our rights. That's why if - GOD FORBID - Obamacare becomes law, it will face an immediate Constitutional challenge. Nonetheless, what is disturbing is that it is a giant step in the direction of government exercising an extraordinary level of intrusion and control over our lives!
Have you noticed that Barack Obama never speaks of freedom? In his radical view, "freedom" is not what the "masses" need. We need to be controlled by superior beings like Barack Hussein Obama. Beware, my friends! Please beware! The links of bondage are joined one by one - quietly and benignly - until we wake up one day in chains, slaves of a government which no longer serves the people, but serves its own hunger for power.
That is where Obama is taking us. He has said that our U. S. Constitution is flawed because it does not give the government positive rights as to what it may do, only negative rights restricting what it may do. That was the brilliance of our Founders' vision, but Obama completely fails to appreciate it because his agenda requires unrestrained government power.
He once said that the civil rights movement failed to address redistribution of wealth. Again he fails to understand that the CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT WAS NOT ABOUT EQUALITY OF RESULTS BUT EQUALITY OF OPPORTUNITY.
THE ONLY WAY TO ACHIEVE EQUALITY OF RESULTS IS TO HAVE IT MANDATED BY OPPRESSIVE GOVERNMENT FORCE. HEALTHCARE IS THE HONEY-COATED BATTERING RAM OF OBAMA'S DARK VISION FOR OUR COUNTRY!!
He is pulling out all the stops, engaging in some of the most corrupt and despicable arm twisting, intimidation and political bribery in the history of our Republic. Congressman Eric Massa of New York has accused the administration of attacking him because he did not vote for the healthcare bill. He has now resigned. Rep. Eric Massa stated, "This administration and this House leadership have said they will stop at nothing to pass this health care bill. Now they've gotten rid of me, and it will pass. You connect the dots."
I am not saying that Massa is innocent, but I have no doubt that Obama and the Democrats facilitated the political demise of Massa. Anyone else in Congress who is vulnerable on ethics matters had better fall in line or come face-to-face with Chicago thug politics. Dick Morris said the White House is engaged in "hand-to-hand" combat. A friend of mine who is a retired Congressman told me that the pressure Nancy Pelosi and the White House will exert on the Representatives is unbelievable. He also told me that in his view U. S. Representative Bart Stupak and the pro-life Democrats will crumble. We are already seeing the signs.
Representative Stupak (D-MI) said on Thursday's ABC's GOOD MORNING AMERICA, "I want to see healthcare pass. We must have healthcare but, boy, there are some principles and beliefs that some of us are not going to pass. We're not going to bypass some principles and beliefs that we feel strongly about."Now he is saying that they may be able to make a deal. Read between the lines. It is probably already a done deal.
In addition to wielding the stick, they are also giving out "carrots" and monetary inducements. For example, after three years of investigation by the Justice Department, the ethics charges against Congressman Allen Mollahan of West Virginia have suddenly been dropped. Mollahan voted with Pelosi and they can't afford to lose his vote because of his legal troubles. He was being probed for giving Congressional favors in return for sweetheart real estate deals. By coincidence, the FBI has just dropped the probe. Utah Congressman Scott Matheson's brother has been appointed to a federal judgeship. Scott Mattheson originally voted against Obamacare, but after his brother's appointment to the federal bench, he surprisingly began to reconsider.
We are fighting deep corruption at the highest levels of our government - AND IT IS OUR GOVERNMENT, NOT THEIRS. We have our work cut out for us, but this is a battle we cannot afford to lose. Please help me to get the message to the people in these districts that NOW IS THE TIME to rise up like a tsunami. We are peaceful, but we are in all out revolt. We will not bow to the OBAMACARE government power grab!
Presidential Spokesman Robert Gibbs says that they are "on track" to finish this OBAMACARE debate before the President leaves for his Indonesian trip on March 18th! My friend, that is only a few days away! The time to ACT IS NOW!
There is only one way to win this battle. The men and women in Congress need to feel more pressure from the American people than they feel from Pelosi, Obama and Reid. We are counting down to March 18th - the date the President has given for a final vote. Take a look at your calendar. If they stick to their timetable, you will either wake up on March 19th knowing that our freedom has been snatched away in an unprecedented power grab OR that we have driven the wolves from the gate. It is up to YOU!
I have talked to doctors I know and have heard a consistent message: STAY OUT OF MY PRACTICE AND MY RELATIONSHIP WITH MY PATIENTS. Anyone who has taken an honest look at this issue knows that Obama's trillion dollar plan is not going to reduce costs and certainly not going to improve the quality of care. They want us to be like Europe, but Europeans who can afford the very best care come to the United Sates when they are sick. The Canadian Premier Danny Williams came to the America for his surgery. If Obama ruins our healthcare system, to what country will Americans go for quality care? Will bright and talented students be willing to spend 12 to 14 years preparing to serve the government as opposed to serving their patients?
WHAT WILL YOUR DOCTOR DO?
WE DON'T CARE THAT HE'S BLACK. WE JUST WANT OUR PRESIDENT TO BE RED, WHITE AND BLUE! MR. OBAMA'S HEATHCARE PROGRAM DOES NOT PASS MUSTER AS A PATRIOTIC POLICY THAT IS GOOD FOR THE PEOPLE.
The President has also once again reverted to the class warfare argument of vilifying the insurance companies. They are, in Obama's view, the repository of all that is evil. We are NOT mouth pieces for the insurance companies, nor are we against healthcare reform. We are against the leftist's vision of what that "reform" should look like. They want a government takeover. We want a real and effective reform that uses free market principles, competition across state lines, tort reform, individual choice and responsibility, transportability, coverage of people with pre-existing conditions and protection against insurance abuses. What we don't want are massive spending, class warfare against the rich, demonizing insurance companies and replacing them with a government bureaucracy which will only be worse. If insurance companies are so bad, why are 85% of Americans satisfied with their healthcare? Nobody is satisfied with government healthcare. Insurance companies may leave much to be desired, but our government can't even effectively distribute drivers' licenses. Now it wants to manage our healthcare? No thank you!
Time is very short for defeating this destructive bill once and for all. Please make the most generous contribution you can. HELP ME DEFEAT OBAMACARE ONCE AND FOR ALL. DON'T TRY TO DO THIS ALONE. STAND WITH ME!
We have to let them know that we are UNIFIED in our commitment to stopping them! I am constantly in touch with other national organizations, coordinating our efforts! Please STAND with me in this crucial hour!

I am honored and grateful to have your support,
E. W. Jackson, Sr.
