Is this the beginning of the people starting to take our country back?
If you are against the ObamaCare Bill that was forced down our throats you can join the lawsuit that was filed against the government. For more details click here to go to the ObamaCare Class Action lawsuit website.
Please leave a comment below if and when you signed up, the Tea Party would like to let our representatives know how many people signed up.
The purpose of this lawsuit is to reverse Supreme Court precedent related to the Commerce clause and thereby overturn Obamacare. The Supreme Court has historically erred in its interpretation of the Constitutional role of the Federal Government. Recent Supreme Court rulings hint that they may be willing to take another look at Commerce clause precedent. Obamacare is so over reaching and so onerous, that it must either be repealed in Congress or struck down in the courts. We must fight this on both fronts. This is our historic opportunity to reverse America’s trend toward Socialism by overturning this unconstitutional precedent.
If you are a US citizen and agree with the goal of this lawsuit, please join us. If you have concerns about joining, please review the FAQs for more information. Every person we add strengthens the voice of “We the People”.
It looks like Andy Griffith is quickly becoming the endorsement of last resort for the Democrat Party and the person to turn when the public turns against you. In a new ad (below), Griffith explains all the great new benefits for Medicare recipients under the new health care law: free checkups, lower prescription costs, and new fraud protections. “I think you’re gonna like it,” proclaims a smiling Griffith. Of course, what he doesn’t tell you is all the negative side effects that will hit seniors as the law goes into effect. Seniors currently enrolled in Medicare Advantage will be forced out of the program. There will be reduced access to care as millions of Baby Boomers retire, and the shortage of doctors grows worse. The new law also imposes new taxes on drugs and medical devices while reducing Medicare payments, directly attacking the wallets of seniors nationwide. While Griffith may be wrong on his appreciation of the new health care law, his presence in promotional ads for the law does have significance. For the past decade, Griffith has been used by Democrats to turn public opinion and stem losses in public opinion polls. If Team Obama is already hoping for a Mayberry Miracle for healthcare, it shows that Democrats are desperate to prop up their new entitlement program and that public is willing to support a Repeal and Reform platform.

The Democrats are willing to risk their skins to shove this down our throats.
WASHINGTON — Could the public option be revived?
Months after a Republican filibuster helped kill off a government-run health plan under the new health-care law, Seattle Congressman Jim McDermott and other U.S. House Democrats are calling anew for a Medicare-like public insurance plan that would compete with private carriers.
Jim McDermott
This time, the Democrats are taking their arguments straight out of the Republican handbook, saying a public plan would lower the deficit.
Rep. Lynn Woolsey, D-Calif., Wednesday evening introduced the Public Option Act. McDermott is among the 128 co-sponsors. Others include the chairmen of the three House committees, and their three subcommittees, with jurisdiction over health care.
Supporters say the public option under this legislation is more “robust” than what the House passed last November. Instead of the government negotiating reimbursement rates with doctors and hospitals, the new proposal calls for paying providers a flat Medicare rate plus 5 percent. Democrats in the Senate couldn’t muster the votes for a public option last year, and it was left out of the final overhaul bill.
On Thursday, Woolsey released an analysis by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) that said the new public option would reduce the federal budget deficit by $53 billion between 2014 and 2019. As with traditional Medicare, the government would collect premiums and pay out claims, although administrative tasks could be outsourced.
The CBO also estimates that a public plan would attract about 13 million, or a third, of the 38 million Americans who are expected to buy coverage through insurance exchanges that would begin operating in 2014.
Premiums for a public plan would be about 5 percent to 7 percent lower on average than for comparable policies sold by commercial insurers, the CBO said.
That, McDermott contends, would be a tough argument for even the GOP to reject. Reining in health-care spending is the weak link in the overhaul, he added.
“We still think the public option is the best way to go,” McDermott said. The only way to overcome political defeat with a good idea is, “You just keep coming back.”
Republicans and many insurance companies opposed a public option last time around, calling it a government takeover of private industry. A few Democrats in the Senate also were uneasy with the idea.
Michael Foley, spokesman for Group Health Cooperative, said the Seattle health co-op is reserving judgment on the new bill pending details. The legislation would allow for “innovative payment mechanisms” that could boost reimbursement for quality and efficiency.
Simply paying doctors and hospitals rates based on Medicare for each service performed, Foley said, “is not a model that is working.”
Joshua Welter, an organizer with Washington Community Action Network, an advocacy group, which strongly backs a public plan, hailed the new bill as a sign that Congress is listening to small businesses and individuals who are struggling to afford coverage.
“They’ve been demanding having a choice,” Welter said, and asking Congress “to not leave them at the mercy of insurance companies.”
The president and Democrats are trying to shove Health Care down our throats, we all know the story and we all know why. There is no sense in rehashing the story here, and you know where the Tea Party stands.
So again, let’s flood their offices with calls, emails, letters, and if you can visit them in person. Here is a list of them for your convenience.
Virginia’s Democratic-controlled state Senate passed measures Monday that would make it illegal to require individuals to purchase health insurance, a direct challenge to the party’s efforts in Washington to reform health care.
South Carolina, and Tennessee are states that are considering making amendments to their constitution that would exempt them from any nationalized Health Care.
How about the loons in our State Legislature? Do you think Beverly is going to follow suit?
