URGENT GRASSROOTS ALERT-- FIVE CRUCIAL ACTION ITEMS BELOW ON THE OBAMACARE ABORTION/CONTRACEPTION MANDATE From the Desk Of: Jack, Today, Obama announced a false "compromise" on the growing controversy over the HHS edict that requires nearly all health insurance plans to cover birth control, the "Morning After" abortion pill and even sterilization. As I wrote a few days ago, if the public accepts his "compromise," Obama will gain the upper hand with a key voting constiuency in November and win on the main point. The reason Obama wins on the main point is that this "compromise" only expands the exemption to cover more religious organizations while technically shifting the burden of providing such services to the insurance companies. First of all, shifting the burden to the insurance companies is just a political trick. Not requiring a "co-pay" for these services just means the insurance companies will push those costs back to the companies through higher premiums. Plus, Obama is still only making an exception for "religious" entities. But the fact is, only about 5% of Americans work for a religious charity. So the "compromise" will give us the sense of "winning" for 5% of the population, while Obama laughs because he wins on principle and 95% of Americans are forced to fund contraceptives, abortion and sterilization. As Rush said today, Obama doesn't have the power in the first place "to interfere with religious liberty." In addition, the entire ObamaCare issue with Catholic voters could be effectively diffused. This could be a huge win for Obama politically if Catholics think the issue is "taken care of." + + How We're Being "Stupaked" This is precisely what happened at the deciding moment of the House ObamaCare debate two years ago. Perhaps you remember Congressman Bart Stupak. He is the allegedly pro-life Democrat who briefly held out during the key 2010 House ObamaCare vote. At the end of the day, Obama and Stupak struck a deal which saved face and really didn't protect the unborn or the liberties of those who oppose abortion. And ObamaCare passed. It's happening again. + + Help Sound The Alarm Here's what I need you to do. I need your help to Sound The Alarm that "WE ARE GETTING STUPAKED!" In order to stop this, we need Rush, Sean, Drudge and others to expose this Obama trickery -- and the best way to do that is to give it a name... WE'RE BEING STUPAKED! Action #1 -- CALL TALK RADIO Call national and local talk radio shows today and say, "WE ARE BEING STUPAKED." When asked to explain, say: "Obama's compromise is the same trickery the regime pulled with Bart Stupak to pass ObamaCare in 2010. This compromise only applies to "religious" organizations while hiding the real costs by shifting the burden to the insurance companies -- thus trampling on the constitutional liberties of every American. This is not an issue only for religious organizations -- I HAVE FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS, TOO!" Sean Hanity: 800-941-7326 Action #2 -- Sign This Petition Opposing Obama's Attack On Religious Liberties Our friends at Liberty Counsel have launched a petition opposing this attack on our constitutional rights. I urge you to sign this petition and join thousands of citizens in making a statement that you oppose this HHS rule, the Obama "compromise," and even the idea that the government can violate our liberties in this way: http://www.grassrootsaction.

Action #5 -- Forward this email to your friends + + Here's How We Lose If We Get "Stupaked" If we fight this HHS battle on the "religious organizations" front, Obama wins on three very important points: 1. Since less than 10% of Americans work in the non-profit sector and only a portion of those work for a "religious" non-profit, an Obama "compromise" on religious organizations would still leave the unconstitutional abortion/birth control mandate in effect for the vast majority of Americans. 2. Even fighting the battle on the "religious" argument concedes that the ObamaCare mandate has some grounds of legitimacy for 'non-religious" companies. It doesn't. The mandate is unconstitutional and should be opposed not in the narrow theatre of "religious" organizations but on the broad foundation of the Constitution. 3. If we get "Stupaked", Obama could succeed in diffusing the issue of ObamaCare among Catholic voters. In 2008, Catholics represented 27% of the vote and went for Obama 54-45%. In 2010, Catholics supported Republicans by 54-44%. Catholics could decide who wins the White House and the Senate. Steve Elliott, Grassfire P.S. See my original post from 2/8 here.
