Email or call your congressman today about H.R. 940, the Health Care Conscience Rights Act, especially from 10am to 12pm, but anytime of day will do.
Congressional contact Link is ALWAYS on the sidebar, Down on the Pharm, under U.S. representatives.
Please tweet this to your associates, under hashtags #religiousfreedom and #conscienceprotection, and pass it to your email and social media pals. It’s easy.
Thanks!
The funny thing is that leftists would not be able to figure out that this tweet is ridiculous. It’s a cultural divide.
You knew it would happen. Members of congress, including all Democrats, understand that Obamacare really sux. They want no part of it for themselves, their families, or their staff.
That’s why they have been engaging in secretive talks to exempt themselves and their staff members from requirements to join the abysmal government exchanges.
The government officials know that entry level staffers cannot afford the ravages of rising health care insurance costs under the “Affordable” Health Care act. They fear that the best staffers will leave Washington in search of more lucrative jobs in order to be able to afford the M A N D A T E D health care insurance.
The thought of “brain drain” in Washington DC (mentioned by the Politico) is vastly amusing. Are Americans to believe that intelligent people planned this debacle for us, and chained us to debt eternally?
Readers should be aware that Finance Committee Chairman, Senator Max Baucus (D-Montana) ripped into Sebelius and stated that Obamacare is going to be a train wreck. Recall that he was one of the original authors of this disaster. Immediately after this show, he announced that he will not be running for office again.
Get on over to the AUL Website to link up to the HHS rules commentary section of the government regulations site. You can drop your low opinion of the HHS mandate on the Obama administration. AUL makes it easy for you by supplying some comments for you to use.
Thinking that a more global DUMP was called for, Pharmer wrote some delicately worded and diplomatic commentary ;-) The most salient portion is in blue, but feel free to use any part if you have a need for speed.
“Since the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act is neither protective nor affordable, it is more accurately called Obamacare.
Much of the Obamacare concept is conveyed in Obama’s address to the Planned Parenthood Action Fund, July 17, 2007. Despite efforts to modify Obamacare and the HHS mandate to reduce the killing component, it will always revert, because killing is at the heart of this concept of health care. Killing is also at the heart of the complete lives system which defines how Obamacare addresses lifelong healthcare. As government mismanages health care, resources become increasingly rare, necessitating the sacrifice of older people to preserve the lives of younger or “more useful” people.
Obamacare and the HHS mandate remain corrupt and immoral at their core. Both are a violation of human rights, most particularly the Right to Life which justified the founding of this nation, and the First Amendment rights which allow us to believe and behave in a civilized manner.
The HHS mandate most immediately enslaves those who respect human life, and forces them to service those who assert a legal authority to kill humans. Eliminating some modes of killing or excusing some social groups from the practice is not sufficient. The entire HHS mandate must be eliminated.
Individuals and groups should have the right to either deliver health care, or obtain health care in a manner which does not violate their right to refuse to kill any human organism.
As with any corrupt economic system, Obamacare will lead to exponential growth of the unregulated and non-taxable, black market, health industry which currently addresses the needs of our newest immigrants as well as our current drug shortages.
If we are able to eliminate Obamacare and the HHS mandate, perhaps we could more efficiently rectify the rampant drug shortages which are causing medical errors and deaths in our hospitals and communities.”
You have until April 8.. GET ER DONE!!!!!
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia has granted an injunction which excuses the businesses owned by Frank and Phil Gilardi, of Ohio, from compliance with the Obamacare HHS mandate. The Gilardi’s own food distribution businesses, and operate them in accordance with their Catholic beliefs. Their health insurance does not cover contraception and abortion. After a final emergency appeal from the ACLJ, the Court of Appeals, changed their position on March 29th, allowing the Gilardis to continue to freely practice their religion in their business operations, while their lawsuit opposing the HHS mandate proceeds through the courts. This is the fifth injunction obtained by the American Center for Law and Justice against the HHS Mandate of Obamacare.
Magdi Allam made international news when he converted from his Muslim faith to Catholicism on Easter, 2008, at St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome, with Pope Benedict XVI officiating.
Allam now says that he is leaving Catholicism, but will always remain a Christian. He is upset that the Catholic Church has stood by for the “Islamization” of Europe, which he sees as an affront to Western civilization, and the “fundamental rights of the person”. He points to the persecution of Christians in the Muslim countries, and explains that a practice of appeasement will not be effective in stopping the maltreatment.
Pharmer does not see all Muslims as being cut from the same cloth, though Allam is certainly correct about the more extreme Islamic groups. The main difficulty with Islam occurs when it is practiced as a political system, rather than as a religion. There are those who hold that Islam is inherently a political system.
There are some additional forces driving people from the Catholic Church. In the U.S. the Church has been very weak in speaking up for the rights of the unborn, the elderly and disabled, preferring to sell them out for government funding of their charitable and educational interests. The U.S. Catholic church has also seen fit to place charitable functions and health care into the hands of a very corrupt government. After doing this, the Bishops then feigned surprise that abortion, birth control coercion, and IPAB death panels were a part of the government health care plan, brought by the most pro-abortion/infanticide president in history.
Yours truly thinks it is plausible that the Catholic leadership in the U.S. knew what was coming all along. It is observed that the nominally Catholic lawmakers who pushed this abortive health care agenda are still able to publicly partake in the Eucharist. This serves as an indication that Obamacare, and all the death and destruction it is bringing our way, might have been pre-approved by the church leadership in America.
Does it make sense, with this in mind, to follow the example of Magdi Allam? Pharmer is not taking such a step. Perhaps it makes more sense to stick with the ideals of the Catholic religion as an ethical system apart from so many current clergy and leaders who not taking it seriously.
Perhaps it also makes more sense to abstain from the Eucharist in the place of Biden, Pelosi, et al, and do penance for having allowed them to govern us.

According to the AP, (which usually shills for Obama), the part one of the application for Obamacare is an excessively complex, 21 step, 15 page long process for a three person family. This constitutes only the financial part of the process. Later there is also the onerous job of picking the health care plan.
This form is mandated, and it will be interesting to see how well the semi-literate members of the population are able to comply.
About 10 years ago, Pharmer obtained prior understanding of this kind of burden, from a German citizen who had refused to fill out his government health care paperwork. He said that because of this, he had no health care coverage.
Those who are unable to navigate the new Obamacare system should expect to similarly find themselves out in the cold with respect to “healthcare for all”.
Alliance Defending Freedom has succeeded in winning an injunction for Sioux Chief Plumbing Company against the Obama HHS mandate. This brings to 12 the number of victories for businesses and institutions which have brought suit on first amendment grounds against the Obama administration violations of the First Amendment.
Kathleen Sebelius administers this mandate, which forces businesses to pay for abortions, birth control and sterilizations, regardless of their religious beliefs. The Obama administration holds that anyone who operates a secular business is not permitted to exercise their religious beliefs in their daily lives and their work.
Generally a court will grant an injunction against a law or government regulation when there is good likelihood that there will be a final ruling against the law.
Alliance Defending Freedom is handling eight additional lawsuits against Obama’s Abortifacient HHS mandate.
Dr. Benjamin Carson proposes health care reform at National Prayer Breakfast – Arlington Conservative | Examiner.com.
CLICK ABOVE FAST. Dr. Benjamin Carson wants to reform health care in a way that would work. His plan is so simple, he could relay in in less than a minute. (The media focused on sleepy Obama and yawning Kerry, and not on the most important part of the National Prayer Breakfast, Dr Carson’s speech).
This 2008 Presidential Award of Freedom Winner is Director of Pediatric Neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins hospital. Dr. Carson’s three point plan is built around a medical savings account that returns control of health care back to the patients.
Dr Carson also spoke against the dangers of political correctness. Below is his speech. LISTEN UP!!
Get to know more about Dr. Carson’s upbringing and career HERE! Kudos to his Mom.
What the IRS thinks that a small family will be paying for Obamacare in 2016 is available on page 56 of this government generated document. Please pass this link to every “low information voter” you know, particularly those living in the blue states.
If you have a small family, do you think that $20,000 dollars per year to pay for health care insurance alone is “affordable”??? Do you think that this is an improvement over your current health insurance situation?
This IRS document actually deals with the criteria for determining how much penalty would be paid by those who choose not to buy health insurance. The examples given in the document, specify some estimates of costs of health care policies for individuals and for families.
When FORMER Ohio Rep. Steve Driehaus lost his 2010 bid against Republican Steve Chabot, he threw a temper tantrum directed at the Susan B. Anthony list. The latter pro-life group had put up billboards citing Driehaus for his abortion support, because he voted in favor of Obamacare. At first Driehaus pursued a criminal charges against Marjorie Dannefelser, of the SBA list, with the Ohio Elections board. That effort was abandoned for an attempt to turn his loss in to money with a civil defamation suit, claiming that the SBA list cost him his job.
This suit was allowed to proceed, but eventually was decided against sore loser, Driehaus, by Judge Timothy Black. This Obama appointed Judge, a former director of planned parenthood, initially supported Driehaus’s legal pursuits, but eventually tipped in favor of the SBA List. Possible inducements for this decision probably included the ACLU’s backing of the SBA List, (and their own interests) as well as the recent Supreme Court decision of the Alvarez vs U.S. (Stolen Valor) case.
“This is a big #^@&(N deal”…as Joe Biden would say. A Federal court is blocking Obamanator’s HHS mandate for O’Brien Industrial Holdings, which operates several smaller companies: Christy Industrial Services, Christy Minerals Co., and Christy Refractories Co. The owner, Frank O’Brien is a Catholic, who wishes to adhere to his religious beliefs in operating his businesses.
The three judge panel of the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals granted a preliminary injunction which blocks the HHS mandates unconstitutional effects upon this privately owned company. Among the many lawsuits challenging the HHS mandate, this is the first decision rendered by a Federal appeals court.
Frank Manion of the American Center for Law and Justice is handling this case, which was first dismissed by a Federal district court judge before it was taken before the Eighth Circuit Court. The ACLJ has filed two other lawsuits against the Federal Government regarding the HHS mandate, and numerous Amicus briefs for other court challenges.
Federal Court Temporarily Blocks HHS Contraception Mandate for Private Business Owner | CNS News.
The CNN reporter, Mike Ahlers, appears to be suspicious about the death of last year’s pardoned turkey, right before Thanksgiving. He might be thinking that the pardon was rescinded, but your friendly Pharmer has another take.
The government line is that the two turkeys pardoned last year, by Obama lived out their natural lives at the Mt Vernon estate formerly occupied by George Washington. Apparently the turkey, named Peace became ill, and received OBAMACARE. Euthanasia! How fitting.
Peace is Dead…..kind of like the Middle East these days, where World War III is busting out.
Bible Publisher Beats Obama Abortion-HHS Mandate in Court | LifeNews.com.
Tyndale House Publishers in Illinois have obtained an injunction stopping the enforcement of Obama’s health care mandate while it’s suit against the edict and its unconstitutional penalties moves forward.
For the time being the Publisher, clients of Alliance Defending Freedom, cannot be forced to pay for abortive drugs, and procedures for any of its employees.

27 States Petition to Secede from the United States on Change.org | TheBlaze.com.
At least 30 states are circulating petitions to secede from the union. The surprise is that Blue states are among this group, with their numbers of petitioners keeping up with many red states. Texas, a state with the greatest capacity to survive on its own, has 40,000 petitioners so far.
In addition to this secessionist movement, many states have exempted themselves at least in part from Obamacare. Those with health care freedom added to their constitutions include Alabama, Oklahoma, Arizona, Wyoming and Montana.
The following states have passed laws forbidding their state employees to implement Obamacare’s individual or employer mandates: Alabama, Arizona, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Missouri, Montana, Ohio, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Utah, and Virginia.
Pharmer recommends that people pressure their states to refuse to set up the insurance exchanges necessary to implement obamacare. The federal government did not allocate funds or any other means to set up the exchanges, and rely on cooperation from the states. Without this cooperation, Obamacare will essentially crash and burn.
This Is Background on the Electoral College | Presidential Election | TheBlaze.com. <---review constitutional mechanism for electing the president.
Even though the Media called the election for Obama (while Romney still held the popular vote), the final decision hasn't been made. We still have to finish the vote counting, and THEN there's the final step of counting the electoral college votes in January.
These are not always predetermined by the state results, though they usually are.
Some people whine about the electoral college, but it's actually a pretty good design to avoid pure democracy. Pure democracy is the means by which you can have 49% of the population enslaved to support 51% non-working dependents.
The U.S. is pretty close to that right now, though the electoral college remains the most significant tool for preventing the actual tipping over.
Even if the electoral college goes Obama’s way, we’re still better off with it, because it still remains as the means to reverse the current trend.
Obamacare, itself, will also assist to reverse the trend of increasing parasitism and dependency on government handouts. Even with the exercise of favoritism, this method of health care is going to trend towards taking the lives of leftists first, simply because they tend to lead more risky lifestyles.
The overall availability of competent health care is going to fall precipitously. This, along with the worsening drug shortages, will select for those who lead more sedate and conservative lifestyles. Overall there will be a selective reduction of leftists.
Planned Parenthood is also assisting with the removal of social leftists. Operation Rescue has documented 16 botched abortions at those facilities in the last 22 months. Their most recent case was due to an abortion attempt on a woman with an ectopic pregnancy. This kind of thing results from the objection to using sonography to determine the condition of the embryo or fetus prior to the procedure. Understand that this data on botched abortions is collected by a single group which documents random incidents occurring while pro-life witnesses are present. It represents the tip of the iceberg.
The American people need to experience some real pain before they turn themselves around.
the Tea Party needs to supplant the useless and leftist RNC which very purposefully lost the chance to take control of the U.S. Senate. Keep working!

Lena Dunham’s Obama supporting “Losing It” video
Hilarious Parody done by Steven Crowder
Parody #2 by Token Libertarian Girl
Check out this Obama ad….. Bimbette of the year, Lena Dunham sez that when you do it for the first time, you wanna do it with a guy who cares if you have birth control. That’s right, YOU, not HIM!!!!!
If Lena is sterilized by her sex habits (Chlamydia trachomatis) or her pills (hormonal derangement), will it be a selective advantage for the human species. Hmmmmmmmmm???
Go to KingsLiberty.com to learn more about the Obama/Sebelius HHS mandate, which forces people of many religions to violate their faith. Below is a video from this past weekend, showing local citizens of the Cincinnati area, standing against this violation of religious freedom and the 1st Amendment of the Constitution.
Obama waged another battle in his war on women during the October 16 Town Hall debate against Romney.
“There are millions of women all across the country who rely on Planned Parenthood for mammograms, for cervical cancer screenings,” Obama lied.
He said the same thing in an interview with Glamour magazine. The problem is that no Planned Parenthood facilities do mammograms. Life News has assembled links to some of the evidence and admissions from Planned Parenthood that they do NOT have mammography equipment at any one of their facilities, and are not certified for such procedures. Komen Foundation had sought to cancel grants to Planned Parenthood, on this basis, but backed down due to a media assault from the abortion giant.
The tax payer funded, non-profit Planned Parenthood has allocated six million dollars for ads to reelect Obama and the democrats. There’s another half million dollar ad dump in Ohio and Virginia, and another quarter million going for ads in Colorado, newly announced by America’s largest abortion provider.
In answer to a question on jobs for women, Obama reiterated his plan to force employers to cover birth control, abortion and sterilization, otherwise known as the HHS mandate. To help women in their jobs, Romney suggested flexible hours and a shot in the arm for employers and the economy, to allow opportunity for unemployed women. Obama spoke of his mandate to force employers to provide for preventing or aborting pregnancies.
The question concerning how the vice presidential candidates’ Catholic faith informs their view on abortion was easier for Ryan to deal with than for Biden.
Paul Ryan was able to clearly give his own pro-life position, but had to hedge on the policy which the Romney campaign has to put forth, which is to remove the public funds for abortion, but continue to permit abortion for rape, incest and so-called life of the mother exceptions.
Joe Biden looked down while delivering must of his answer, since, of course his so-called Catholic faith does not support his own pro-abortion position. It also does not support the extreme position of the Obama administration, which supports late term and post-birth abortion, and forces religiously run institutions and private businesses to pay for abortion, birth control and sterilizations through insurance.
Biden blatantly lied when he said that Catholic run institutions were not being affected by the HHS mandate.
Ryan asked: Then why is the Catholic Church still suing the Obama administration???
Nurse MaryAnn Lawhon, found a baby who had survived an abortion, left to die of exposure. She rocked him as he died, baptized him, and named him John. She promised that she would carry his message, and this has inspired the title of upcoming movie, “The Voice of John”.
The Voice of John will be released on Nov 4, this year, hopefully not too late for people to respond by voting to remove Obamacare from our lives on November 6th.
AARP has apparently paid a huge price for supporting Obamacare. Sooooo huge that they don’t want to be associated with him anymore. They told Obama, after the Weds night debate, not to mention them anymore, and that they have become a non-partisan organization.
AARP has bled membership over the Obamacare issue, and asking Obama not to invoke their name to defend his policies is their way of dealing with it. It’s been estimated that AARP stood to gain millions from Obamacare implementation in 2014 alone, but this show of ingratitude to the president is evidence that such an estimate is no longer realistic.
