Report on Obama Health Care Rally- Sept. 1, 2009

Memorial: Gregory the Great, Pope and Doctor - Thursday, September 3, 2009

From the USCCB document – “Catholics in Political Life”

‘The Catholic community and Catholic institutions should not honor those who act in defiance of our fundamental moral principles. They should not be given awards, honors or platforms which would suggest support for their actions.’

I believe that all pro-life, pro-family and pro-marriage persons should participate at Town Hall Meetings; Tea Parties and Rallies about Health Care etc. to proclaim the truth and in the spirit of Our Founding Fathers. Also, “Preaching the gospel simply entails communicating the truth and love of Jesus to others.”
“Report”

There were about 40 plus participants who mistakenly support the Obama Care which includes mandated abortion coverage. They deny that there is abortion coverage. I talked to two persons who said that they are members of no church. Another person was very much for coverage of abortion. It was a friendly conversation. Although one said, “Are you a Nazi?” The best answer would be, “Are you an American or a Communist?” Some types have a deep contempt for the opposition who have a religious persuasion. They need conversion.

Some of the signs were provided by the organizers of the event. Here are two of the signs: “Support Health Care for All,” and “Public Health Option Helps Small Business.” What this administration will likely do is undercut Insurance Companies via government regulations; and then No Surprise! We have only a Government Socialist Health Program like in Canada and Europe. No to Socialism.

I have a bias. I do not trust the President. He wants total control of our lives and starts off with Health Care and his supporters use the code word: public option - Support a Public Option. What it really is: Support a Government Option! We have government option with the Post Office which is 7 Billion dollars deficit and Amtrak which is 2 billion dollars deficit. We have billions of dollars of fraud in Medicare and other Government programs. Clean Up and that!

Why Not Tort Reform? Some doctors have to pay $200,000 yearly in insurance. There is a Free Enterprise Solution and Not a Government Solution which is bankrupting our country with deficits and taking away our Freedoms.

I may have been the only one in opposition. BUT IT WAS A FUN EXPERIENCE. During the light break, pedestrian crossing the street, Obama lady would cross the street with her sign “Support Public Option for Health Care” and I would cross over with my sign for the parked cars waiting for the light to change.

My sign: NO! NO! NO! Deficit Spending! Big Government! Abortion- Mandated Health! Make your signs to the point and a little smaller. Watch out for misspelled words. At the Congressman’s Royce Town Hall meeting which was outstanding I misspelled “Voices of Our Founding Fathers,” with Voiceses.

Hope to see you for an hour or two. Come earlier. (It would be wonderful if we had Bishop Fulton Sheen & Founding Father Alexander Hamilton alive today!)
