Dear Fellow American,

Thank you for joining with us in our national petition to repeal Obamacare.

Republican leaders in the House are planning to vote to repeal Obamacare on Wednesday.

Dick Morris, the famous Fox News commentator and author, is urging Americans to sign the petition below to repeal Obamacare once and for all.

It is vitally important you forward this email to your friends and family to sign this petition as Congress takes this historic vote!

This is a critical time in our nation’s history, as Obamacare will . . .

• Increase our budget by $1 trillion (at least!)
• Cut Medicare benefits for senior citizens by $500 billion
• Send private insurance premiums sky high
• Set the groundwork for healthcare rationing for the elderly
• Cost you an additional $500 billion in taxes

This is our last chance to STOP Obamacare in its tracks.

The House vote is just the first step, as Dick Morris states, and the battle to fully repeal and defund Obamacare will be fought over the coming months.

That is why it is critically important you to get as many friends to sign the petition toFULLY REPEAL OBAMACARE.

Your representatives need to know where you stand on this important issue.

Dick Morris says, “It’s absolutely critical we repeal and defund Obamacare. Sign the Newsmax petition today and send a powerful message to Congress they won’t forget!”

Hundreds of thousands have already signed this important petition.

Let your voice be heard.

Go Here to Sign the Petition Now!

Thank you,

Russian reporter claims Tucson shootings the result of American freedom

You know what this country needs after a week of insanity on display in Tucson and insanity on display in the American media?  We need someone with whom we can all be angry — a handy whipping post to berate and mock.  Ladies and gentlemen, I give you our figure of unity … Russian reporter Andrei Sitov from TASS, assigned to the White House press corps, courtesy of Ann Compton http://hotair.com/archives/2011/01/14/russian-reporter-claims-tucson-shootings-the-result-of-american-freedom/

Obamanomics?

The Democrat-controlled General Assembly of Illinois (Obama State) voted to temporarily raise personal income taxes 66 percent, from 3 percent to 5 percent. Corporate rates will rise, too — from 4.8 percent to 7 percent — when Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn signs the measure.

Obama's State Dept. Removes Mother, Father From Passports

In what seems to be a diplomatic effort at extreme political correctness and a nod to gay rights groups, the Obama administration is removing the words “mother” and “father” from U.S. passport applications and replacing them with “gender neutral” terminology. Mom and dad will now be referred to rather coldly as “parent one” and “parent two.”

Conservative Christian groups are outraged over the decision.

“Only in the topsy-turvy world of left-wing political correctness could it be considered an ‘improvement’ for a birth-related document to provide less information about the circumstances of that birth,” Family Research Council president Tony Perkins wrote in a statement to Fox News Radio. “This is clearly designed to advance the causes of same-sex ‘marriage’ and homosexual parenting without statutory authority, and violates the spirit if not the letter of the Defense of Marriage Act.”

“The words in the old form were ‘mother’ and ‘father,’” Brenda Sprague, deputy assistant Secretary of State for Passport Services, confirmed Fox News. "They are now ‘parent one’ and ‘parent two.’"

A statement on the State Department website noted: “These improvements are being made to provide a gender neutral description of a child’s parents and in recognition of different types of families.” The statement didn't note if it was for child applications only.

The new passport applications, not yet available to the public, will be available online soon. Sprague told Fox the decision to remove the traditional parenting names was not an act of political correctness.

“We find that with changes in medical science and reproductive technology that we are confronting situations now that we would not have anticipated 10 or 15 years ago,” she said.

Gay rights groups are applauding the decision.

“Changing the term mother and father to the more global term of parent allows many different types of families to be able to go and apply for a passport for their child without feeling like the government doesn’t recognize their family,” said Jennifer Chrisler, executive director of Family Equality Council.

Her organization lobbied the government for several years to remove the words from passport applications.

“Our government needs to recognize that the family structure is changing,” Chrisler said. “The best thing that we can do is support people who are raising kids in loving, stable families.”

The new gender-neutral passport application will be rolled out in February.
