WASHINGTON, Aug. 13/Christian Newswire -
As news rolls in of Americans participating in town hall meetings in record numbers, a recent Rasmussen poll shows that support for President Obama's health care plan is waning quickly. Just 42% of Americans currently support the President's plan, while 53% oppose it.
"As details about abortion funding, rationing of care, higher costs and less access to health care surface, Americans are expressing their distrust of a government-run system. Average Americans who have never been politically involved before are coming out in droves. They fear that their government officials, who have spent trillions on pet projects like obscene art and luxury planes, now plan to hijack control of our health care.
"The message is clear: We don't trust Obama or Congress -- especially with our health care," stated Concerned Women for America's President Wendy Wright.
"CWA's members are attending town halls nationwide. They are reporting huge crowds of people upset about the health care bill and peppering congressmen with questions on rationing, euthanasia, abortion and Medicare cut backs for seniors. And they are steamed that Congressmen are exempting themselves from the health care mandates.
"Obama and liberal congressmen have vividly exhibited their disdain for average Americans by their exorbitant spending spree with our tax dollars. Now they insult deeply worried citizens who engage with their congressmen by calling us 'un-American' and 'mobs' for questioning their plan. Yet these citizens know more about the House-passed bill than Obama or liberal congressmen, who respond to questioning with vague phrases that contradict the bill.
"These citizens are smart enough to know that the bill sets up a system whereby bureaucrats and government boards will determine what health care we can have. And with the way this Congress and President have acted in the last few months, Americans are convinced that they cannot be trusted with our health care."
Concerned Women for America is the nation's largest public policy women's organization.
Very good article. I wonder if the Obama Administration and Congress will consider this as "fishy"....
I have ALWAYS been proud of my country and could not be prouder now. To see the average citizen, passionate is very exciting and I am sure what makes me proud makes Obama tremble!
The bottom line for me is an issue of trust with Odumbo and his admin. There are too many lies and no transparency. He stated very clearly in 2007 that he supported a single payer system, and then outright denied ever saying it, even though it is documented on tape. I would have believed him more if he had said "I use to support single payer but have changed my mind". There have been so many blatant lies and I don't trust liars.
They say there is no mention of abortion in Obamacare, but omitting it can leave it open to be added later. I believe in a woman's right to choose under specific guidelines. Partial birth abortion and no protection for babies who survive abortion is barbaric. Obeyme supports partial birth and does not support giving aid to live babies of abortion. Unconsciousable!
Nobama appears to ignore the will of the people by saying he will push obamacare through on reconciliation, when a good majority of Americans oppose it.
I believe as a professional in forensic psychiatry, that Obambi has "issues", but this is just an opinion.
I personally do not want to leave as a legacy for my children and grandchildren a mountain of debt, that will limit their quality of life.
God Bless America
I am very proud of the brave Americans who are standing up to oppose Obama on his sly attempt to introduce Abortion on demand and euthanasia on those he consideres undesirables. This is satanic, this is inhuman, this is sin. May God fight for you and defeat Obama and his Master
Stay away from our children Obama.
Hi and nice to meet you Mary! I back you all the way here. We the people have got to get off our duffs and stop this terrorist act against this great nation. The time for sitting back and repeatedly punching Dem Or Rep is over. We have to truly know everyone that attempts to take a political seat in this country from now on. From President on down. No more pulling the handle with blinders on! This admin has shown us just how dangerous continuing to remain uninformed is. I thank God for places like this, and shows like Hannity, Bill O'Reily and Glen Beck for opening our eyes to the hidden truths. There is a lot more than abortions and euthanasia hidden in that 1000 plus page Health Bill! And we need to stand up and say NO WAY! and mean it! Patriots to the end!
