He Called them Liars

When the National Right to Life Political Action Committee revealed in August 2008 Obama’s deception about his vote on the Born-Alive Infants Protection Act (BAIPA), he called them liars. The NRLC found and released documented proof of his actual votes on the issues and produced this video for YouTube. They also applied to purchase ad space during Sean Hannity’s radio show on ABC, but ABC Radio Network put a gag on the ad because they say it is “too political”.

Read the quoted material from NRLC:

Dear Pro-Lifers,

Today, National Right to Life received notice fromABC Radio Network that it would not air National Right to Life’s ad entitled “Waiting for Obama’s Apology,” during Sean Hannity’s radio program.

In an email to National Right to Life, ABC Radio Network executives claimed the ad, “while supporting aspects of a Pro-Life position, weighs more heavily toward electioneering.” The ad was to be paid for by National Right to Life Political Action Committee (NRL PAC), which is allowed to do “electioneering” under federal law.

ABC’s rejection smacks of being a politically motivated gag order,” said Derrick Jones, NRLC Communications Director. “It seems that the pro-Obama leanings of the mainstream media have overflowed into their sales departments as well. To reject a political action committee’s ad because they think it is too political, borders on the absurd.”

The ad focuses on NRL’s role in revealing that Obama had for four years misrepresented his record on the Illinois Born-Alive Infants Protection Act (BAIPA).

“Four years ago, NRL PAC ran electioneering ads supporting George W. Bush. ABC’s lame excuse this year fails to hide their true motivation of helping Barack Obama conceal his extreme pro-abortion position from the American public,” Jones added.

On August 11, NRLC released recently uncovered documents proving that Obama in 2003 had presided over a committee meeting at which he killed a version of the BAIPA that was virtually identical to the federal BAIPA that Congress had enacted, without a dissenting vote, in 2002. This contradicted four years of statements by Obama on the matter. When Obama was asked about NRLC’s charges in a televised interview on August 16, he said that NRLC was “lying.” Independent investigations by FactCheck.org and Politifact.org have since concluded that NRLC’s claim was accurate and that Obama’s denial was not. The ad refused by ABC quotes the FactCheck.org conclusion that “Obama is misrepresenting the contents of” the bill that he killed.

The ABC gag rule is part of a broader pattern of behavior in which the mainstream news media filter out or distort the extremes of Obama’s pro-abortion record, including his actions to block legislation to protect infants born alive following abortions in Illinois, his commitment to enact the so-called “Freedom of Choice Act,” which would make partial-birth abortion legal again and nullify all parental notification laws, and his support for requiring taxpayer funding of abortion,” said NRLC Legislative Director Douglas Johnson, author of an article on the Obama abortion agenda published this week by National Review Online.

The ad is currently posted as a web ad on National Right to Life PAC’s YouTube channel.

Attention Colorado and National Voters! We must make ourselves aware.

For national voters to know how the Presidential Candidates stand on issues, go to the 2008 Presidential Voter Guide before you go to cast your vote.

Since Colorado has one of the most important Senate races going on in this country, it is so very important that we all be well-informed as we head to the polls. The following are facts on where Bob Schaffer and Mark Udall stand on main issues:

LIFE - Does the candidate support pro-life policies?

Bob Schaffer - Yes - Schaffer earned a 100 percent pro-life voting record in Congress, according to the National Right to Life Committee.

Mark Udall - No - Udall has a 0 percent lifetime voting record from National Right to Life. He supports partial-birth abortion and regularly receives donations from Warren Hern, the controversial late-term abortionist from Boulder.

MARRIAGE - Does the cadidate support traditional marriage and oppose the agenda of the gay lobby?

Bob Schaffer - Yes - Schaffer supports preserving marriage as the union of one man and one woman. He opposes allowing open homosexuality in the armed forces. He supported the right of the Boy Scouts to choose troop leaders based on their moral standards.

Mark Udall - No - Udall voted against the federal marriage amendment and supported domestic partnerhsips in Colorado. He has a lifetime rating of 100 percent from the nation’s top gay rights organization. He’s a sponsor of a bill to allow open homosexuality in the armed forces. He supported using federal funds to punish the Boy Scouts for not allowing homosexual troop leaders.

JUDGES - Does the candidate support the confirmation of judges like John Roberts and Samuel Alito, who will uphold the Constitution rather than re-write it?

Bob Schaffer - Yes - Schaffer has stated that he would have supported both Roberts and Alito. He also affirms his support for judges who will exercise judicial restraint–interpreting the law rather than making the law.

Mark Udall - No - Udall voiced support for Roberts and criticism of Alito. Party pressure combined with his strong pro-abortion stance make it highly questionable that Udall would vote to confirm similar nominees in the Senate.

TAXES - Does the candidate generally support lower taxes?

Bob Schaffer - Yes - Schaffer supported the 2001 tax cuts, supported eliminating the death tax, and supported a measure to make it harder for Congress to raise taxes. He was named a “Taxpayer’s Friend” by the National Taxpayers Union.

Mark Udall - No - Udall opposed the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts, opposed eliminating the death tax, and opposed a measure to make it harder for Congress to raise taxes. Udall’s Congressional voting record earned him an “F” from the National Taxpayers Union.

GAS PRICES - Will the candidate protect family budgets by allowing safe off-shore drilling and responsible development of oil shale in western Colorado?

Bob Schaffer - Yes - Schaffer supports reducing foreign dependence on oil–and lowering prices at the pump–by allowing environmentally safe off-shore drilling. He also supports allowing the vast oil-shale resources in western Colorado to be responsibly accessed.

Mark Udall - No - Udall has been a Congressional leader in opposing the development of oil resources. In 2007, Udall sponsored a successful amendment to block the development of oil-shale resources. He has voted against off-shore drilling 15 times since 2001.

Do YOU want to know why?

I am understanding more and more that most of the deceived people in this country do not want to know the real reason why we are having to rescue lending institutions. They only want to stay blinded to the truth so that they can stay loyal to their party and place the blame elsewhere. For those of us who are truth seekers, this 1999 article in the New York Post tells the real reason for our current situation:

Fannie Mae Eases Credit To Aid Mortgage Lending

Published: September 30, 1999

In a move that could help increase home ownership rates among minorities and low-income consumers, the Fannie Mae Corporation is easing the credit requirements on loans that it will purchase from banks and other lenders.

The action, which will begin as a pilot program involving 24 banks in 15 markets — including the New York metropolitan region — will encourage those banks to extend home mortgages to individuals whose credit is generally not good enough to qualify for conventional loans. Fannie Mae officials say they hope to make it a nationwide program by next spring.

Fannie Mae, the nation’s biggest underwriter of home mortgages, has been under increasing pressure from the Clinton Administration to expand mortgage loans among low and moderate income people and felt pressure from stock holders to maintain its phenomenal growth in profits.

In addition, banks, thrift institutions and mortgage companies have been pressing Fannie Mae to help them make more loans to so-called subprime borrowers. These borrowers whose incomes, credit ratings and savings are not good enough to qualify for conventional loans, can only get loans from finance companies that charge much higher interest rates — anywhere from three to four percentage points higher than conventional loans.

”Fannie Mae has expanded home ownership for millions of families in the 1990’s by reducing down payment requirements,” said Franklin D. Raines, Fannie Mae’s chairman and chief executive officer. ”Yet there remain too many borrowers whose credit is just a notch below what our underwriting has required who have been relegated to paying significantly higher mortgage rates in the so-called subprime market.”

Demographic information on these borrowers is sketchy. But at least one study indicates that 18 percent of the loans in the subprime market went to black borrowers, compared to 5 per cent of loans in the conventional loan market.

In moving, even tentatively, into this new area of lending, Fannie Mae is taking on significantly more risk, which may not pose any difficulties during flush economic times. But the government-subsidized corporation may run into trouble in an economic downturn, prompting a government rescue similar to that of the savings and loan industry in the 1980’s.

”From the perspective of many people, including me, this is another thrift industry growing up around us,” said Peter Wallison a resident fellow at the American Enterprise Institute. ”If they fail, the government will have to step up and bail them out the way it stepped up and bailed out the thrift industry.”

Under Fannie Mae’s pilot program, consumers who qualify can secure a mortgage with an interest rate one percentage point above that of a conventional, 30-year fixed rate mortgage of less than $240,000 — a rate that currently averages about 7.76 per cent. If the borrower makes his or her monthly payments on time for two years, the one percentage point premium is dropped.

Fannie Mae, the nation’s biggest underwriter of home mortgages, does not lend money directly to consumers. Instead, it purchases loans that banks make on what is called the secondary market. By expanding the type of loans that it will buy, Fannie Mae is hoping to spur banks to make more loans to people with less-than-stellar credit ratings.

Fannie Mae officials stress that the new mortgages will be extended to all potential borrowers who can qualify for a mortgage. But they add that the move is intended in part to increase the number of minority and low income home owners who tend to have worse credit ratings than non-Hispanic whites.

Home ownership has, in fact, exploded among minorities during the economic boom of the 1990’s. The number of mortgages extended to Hispanic applicants jumped by 87.2 per cent from 1993 to 1998, according to Harvard University’s Joint Center for Housing Studies. During that same period the number of African Americans who got mortgages to buy a home increased by 71.9 per cent and the number of Asian Americans by 46.3 per cent.

In contrast, the number of non-Hispanic whites who received loans for homes increased by 31.2 per cent.

Despite these gains, home ownership rates for minorities continue to lag behind non-Hispanic whites, in part because blacks and Hispanics in particular tend to have on average worse credit ratings.

In July, the Department of Housing and Urban Development proposed that by the year 2001, 50 percent of Fannie Mae’s and Freddie Mac’s portfolio be made up of loans to low and moderate-income borrowers. Last year, 44 percent of the loans Fannie Mae purchased were from these groups.

The change in policy also comes at the same time that HUD is investigating allegations of racial discrimination in the automated underwriting systems used by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to determine the credit-worthiness of credit applicants.

I would say this speaks to most Americans today who are wise enough to search for the truth and see it when it is presented.

Will You Help?

I recently received the following correspondence from the very reputable organization for American values, Liberty Counsel. I beseech all to please read the following and, if you feel led, please help any way you are able in this all-important cause.

Liberty Counsel
From the Desk of:
Mat Staver, Founder

Anna,

I now fear the deck is being stacked against traditional marriage.

First, California officials manipulated the ballot’s descriptive language to spin the marriage amendment into an “anti-rights” initiative. Pollsters are using the deceptive language to bias the polls against the amendment.

Now we are learning that Florida’s governor will basically sit on the sidelines and not get involved in that state’s marriage amendment vote.  Plus, opposition to Arizona’s marriage amendment is building as out-of-state money buys negative advertising.

And as usual, the mainstream media is doing everything in its power to downplay the importance of marriage this election year.

+ + Marriage now at crucial crossroads

The outcome of these votes will likely determine whether marriage as we know it survives or if the tide of radical homosexual activism will sweep across the Nation.

That is why I am asking you to help me rally tens of thousands of citizens between now and November 4 for this crucial battle.

+ + Action Item #1 — Help keep marriage alive
Will you make your most generous possible gift today to help Liberty Counsel fight for marriage and continue other vital legal and grassroots efforts?

And “They” Said He Couldn’t Do It

Well, here we are seven years after the horrific al-Qaeda terrorist attacks on our country’s Eastern Coast. We lost nearly 3,000 innocent lives when two hijacked planes dove into the Twin Towers in New York, the third plane tore a huge chunk out of our Pentagon, and those true heroes and heroins on the fourth plane gave their lives in a field in Pennsylvania to stop the attack on the White House. Although it is very sorrowful to recall, we must never forget that day, or our brothers and sisters that are no longer with us because of it.

We must remember and appreciate, as well, our brave President George W. Bush for stepping up amidst all of the negative, demeaning remarks from the left-winged liberals in our country. They showed no confidence in his ability to protect us from further attacks, and, in fact, sounded as if they wished something more would happen so they could say, “We told you so.” In spite of them, he worked endless hours with his administration to fix what was broken and implement security measures and the Patriot Act, among other programs, that have kept us safe since 2001. If we were of a mind to, I suppose we Bush supporters could now say to the naysayers, “We told you so.”

While our main-stream liberal media continue to bash President Bush, even if they have to make something up, where is their recognition that he deserves for having put measures into place that have blocked more attacks from these Islamic extremists? There are few who say we should not have went into Iraq, but those of us with a brain are aware that Hussein was funding and allowing al-Qaeda terrorist training camps there. We also do know that he had weapons of mass distruction, but on the sly while stalling the U.N. inspectors, they were hidden in countries surrounding Iraq.

Let it never be too easy to forget the threat that is out there from these evil radicals that would kill each and every one of us simply because we do not believe as they do. If we were to join some in this country who are in denial about this threat, and think we can reason with these cold-blooded murderers, we might as well kiss our behinds good-bye.

I believe there are more wise and God-fearing Americans who also know that our best choice for our next president is John McCain. He is the only choice we have to keep our “Land of the Free”.

And now I will take a moment of silent prayer for those presious lives lost in all past terrorist attacks, and thank my Heavenly Father for a man like George W. Bush for having put a stop to the attacks for the last seven years…

Sarah Palin-God’s Chosen One-No shuck and jive!

Oooh! Just look at how the evil ones run and hide when God’s Spirit moves. Can you not just hear them whispering what evil little schemes they will come up with next? Sarah Palin, a believer in the kinds of morals and values our country was founded on, and must return to, really has them running for cover today. I guess they were pretty shocked and taken aback by her speech at the Republican Convention last night. She has an outstanding and admirable reputation for standing up to the bullies in this world and winning. Does it not make sense that she would be God’s choice as running mate to our next President, John McCain, also a strong Godly strength and persevering Maverick in the face of torture and evil?

The leftys who were bad-mouthing her and her family and describing her as inexperienced in the matters of running a government sure enough found out differently, did they not? They are all quiet and hiding out today; most probably thinking of how next to attack her. It will do no good, any God-fearing born again Christian can see God’s hand in this. And when God works, the wicked ones of this world do not quite know how to handle it. I have heard it said that “The wicked may appear to be clever, but their stupidity shows in the end.”

Governor Palin delivered her speech with mighty strength, control, and conviction. This is what happens when God intervenes in a situation. The little desperate demons may screech and whine all they like, but Our Father in Heaven is much greater than those of this world.

Even the ’shuck and jive’ (homosexual) type of new-age presby churches that have re-made their doctrine to fit their sinful lifestyles, are whining and screeching “fowl” to their local newspaper editors today. Apparently they do not like the fact that Gov. Palin believes Creationism should be taught in our schools. They are teaching and have for decades, the “theory” of darwinism. These persbys want them to teach darwinism and scienctoloy-based theories; and they call themselves children of God. Are they afraid that if Creationism is also taught, the students’ eyes will be opened to the truth? Those who know the truth, know that darwinism cannot stand next to the truth of Creationism.

Prepare yourselves for more ranting and raving from the evil forces in this world as God uses His soldiers to work His will in our country and in our world.

“GREATER ARE YOU, OH GOD, WHO IS IN US, THAN HE THAT IS IN THIS WORLD!”

“IF GOD BE FOR US, WHO CAN BE AGAINST US?”

BRING IT ON!

God Played Volleyball Last Night

Or, maybe it was Jesus, or maybe it was both. :)

I am loving the summer Olympics this year, more than ever before. Of course, the U.S. is doing wonderfully in many areas, but my most favorite of all (besides swimming and Michael Phelps) is volleyball. The U.S. has taken the Gold in the women’s beach volleyball competition, and what a close competition it was between the American team and the Chinese team.

Last night I watched our U.S. men’s beach volleyball competition between Dalhausser and Rogers and the Brazilian team of Fabio and Marcio. We won the first set, neck and neck, at 23 to 21. Brazil won the second set, also neck and neck, at 21 to 17. It was the closest couple of games I have seen in quite some time.

So, here I am sitting on the edge of my couch, chewing my nails, rocking back and forth, praying: “God, please help our guys win.”

The tie-breaking set begins and, WHAM! U.S. is leading by 2, then by 4. Then Brazil gets a point. Then U.S. is leading by 7… I am thinking, “What in the world is going on?! Although, I am very happy this is happening, I cannot help but wonder why did Rogers and Dalhausser not play like this in the first 2 sets?! I was totally dumbfounded at how quickly and efficiently they literally stomped the Brazilians at 15 to 4.

“Okay,” I told myself. “You can breathe now.” As the oxygen was returning to my brain, it dawned on me. I probably was not the only person praying for God to help the U.S. team win. In fact, I would almost bet the farm that there were very many people praying for them.

I also believe that God and Jesus are watching the games with us, and maybe, just maybe volleyball is their favorite sport as well as mine. I think God and Jesus took over Rogers’ and Dalhaussers’ bodies and said, “Hey guys, this is how it is done. Stop goofing off and just do it!”

And that is how the U.S. men’s beach volleyball team took the Gold in the 2008 summer Olympics!

Apologia-Verbal Defense

Most of us can remember all too clearly past encounters where we were led by the Holy Spirit to share God’s word with others. Or, at other times when someone came to us with questions about the gospel/salvation. Though we do and have done this in obedience and with our hearts aligned with God, we sometimes find ourselves suddenly bombarded with attacks, defiant arguments, and questions.

Peter advises us to be prepared - I Peter 3:15-17 - NKJV “But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear; having a good conscience, that when they defame you as evildoers, those who revile your good conduct in Christ may be ashamed. For it is better, if it is the will of God, to suffer for doing good than for doing evil.”

Peter uses the Greek word apologia for answer in this scripture. The word may sound like apology, but do not be fooled. What do we have to apologize for when we are sharing God’s word? Absolutely nothing! The word apologia actually means to layout a verbal defense.

There are people who do have true questions. There may be just one thing that the devil has used to put up a wall in one’s mind for years. When we give them God-given answers, it is like that wall has been knocked down and they can see the truth for the first time; like a light has been turned on. But, of course, that is not always the case. With others, as soon as you give them their first answer, they fire more at you like - ‘But why…?, What about…? Are you really saying that…?’ and so on. Those people do not really want your answers. They want to get you frustrated and side-track you. We must, at all cost, be in and leaning on the Holy Spirit to stay calm and on track.

A while back I joined a social site that I thought would be a fun place to share with and befriend other moms. Being who I am, I posted a journal on my page about taking a stand for my beliefs; namely on the churches of today preaching tolerance to the sin of homosexuality. I quoted the scripture in Leviticus 18:22.

There was an immediate barrage of hateful attacks accusing me, for one thing, of forcing my religion on them. No one was forcing them to come to my journal and read my post; they made that choice. Some said that being homosexual is as natural as breathing, and that more and more people are accepting of the homosexual lifestyle. One actually stated that the Bible is outdated and should be re-written. This went on and on for hundreds of posts. I had to delete and block some lesbians that were vulgar and abusive. They could comment without using vulgarity and hate, but they chose not to. At one point, I found myself being distracted from my main topic and had to delete some of my own responses.

There were only 3 Christian moms who stood with me to combat the evilness that was present there. (I know there were more than those 3 on the site, but they had been there longer than I, and were aware of this certain group of pagans who follow Christian posts and come out of the woodwork to bash them.) The four of us quoted scripture after scripture in response to their attacks, just as Jesus did in the wilderness when Satan tempted Him. It became quite obvious that they did not want to know the truth; it convicted them. I decided not to continue to ‘cast my pearls before swine’ and moved on to other subjects. As long as my subjects were not controversial, I never heard from them.

It was a devastating eye-opener for me to learn of these mothers that are into pagan witchcraft, atheism and a new-age Christianity and they believe anything goes; “Just leave everyone alone and we all do our own thing”. It is very scary to know that they are raising a part of our future generation.

I came to the conclusion that I did not want to be a part of that community where everyone is nice as long as you do not hold anyone accountable or try to get the truth out. I still call some of the sweet-spirited moms that I met there friends, but for the most part, I keep that place in my prayers.

Orange County, CA Newspaper - Guilty!

Orange County Newspaper in California is just one more in a growing number of newspapers who will not publish letters to the editor that they either view as politically incorrect, or they do not agree with the propaganda the editors are pushing on the public. This woman wrote a great letter to the editor that should have been published. With ‘the peoples’ help it will get published via cyberspace!

From: ‘David LaBonte’

My wife, Rosemary, wrote a wonderful letter to the editor of the O.C. Register which, of course, was not printed. So, I decided to ‘print’ it myself by sending it out on the Internet. Pass it along if you feel so inclined. Written in response to a series of letters to the editor in the Orange County Register:

Dear Editor:

So many letter writers have based their arguments on how this land is made up of immigrants. Ernie Lujan for one, suggests we should tear down the Statue of Liberty because the people now in question aren’t being treated the same as those who passed through Ellis Island and other ports of entry.

Maybe we should turn to our history books and point out to people like Mr. Lujan why today’s American is not willing to accept this new kind of immigrant any longer. Back in 1900 when there was a rush from all areas of Europe to come to the United States, people had to get off a ship and stand in a long line in New York and be documented. Some would even get down on their hands and knees and kiss the ground. They made a pledge to uphold the laws and support their new country in good and bad times. They made learning English a primary rule in their new American households and some even changed their names to blend in with their new home.

They had waved good bye to their birth place to give their children a new life and did everything in their power to help their children assimilate into one culture. Nothing was handed to them. No free lunches, no welfare, no labor laws to protect them. All they had were the skills and craftsmanship they had brought with them to trade for a future of prosperity.

Most of their children came of age when World War II broke out. My father fought along side men whose parents had come straight over from Germany, Italy, France and Japan. None of these 1st generation Americans ever gave any thought about what country their parents had come from. They were Americans fighting Hitler, Mussolini, and the Emperor of Japan. They were defending the United States of America as one people.

When we liberated France, no one in those villages was looking for the French-American or the German-American or the Irish-American. The people of France saw only Americans. And we carried one flag that represented one country. Not one of those immigrant sons would have thought about picking up another country’s flag and waving it to represent who they were. It would have been a disgrace to their parents who had sacrificed so much to be here. Those immigrants truly knew what it meant to be an American. They stirred the melting pot into one red, white, and blue bowl.

And here we are in 2008 with a new kind of immigrant who wants the same rights and privileges. Only they want to achieve it by playing with a different set of rules, one that includes the entitlement card and a guarantee of being faithful to their mother country. I’m sorry, that’s not what being an American is all about. I believe that the immigrants who landed on Ellis Island in the early 1900’s deserve better than that for all the toil, hard work and, sacrifice in raising future generations to create a land that has become a beacon for those legally searching for a better life. I think they would be appalled that they are being used as an example by those waving foreign country flags.

And for that suggestion about taking down the Statue of Liberty, it happens to mean a lot to the citizens who are voting on the immigration bill. I wouldn’t start talking about dismantling the United States just yet.

KEEP THIS LETTER MOVING. FOR THE WRONG THINGS TO PREVAIL, THE RIGHTFUL MAJORITY NEEDS TO REMAIN COMPLACENT AND QUIET!!

LET THIS NEVER HAPPEN!!

I sincerely hope this letter gets read by millions of people all across the nation!

Right of Conscience Under Attack

If abortion activists get their way, our nation’s healthcare workers will be forced to perform abortion procedures against their religious beliefs. I received the following report from Focus on the Family. We MUST stand up against such evil atrocities!

Doctors’ Religious Rights Under Attack

by Devon Williams, associate editor

Abortion advocates target federal guidelines protecting pro-life medical workers.

Abortion activists have launched a campaign to sabotage regulations being drafted by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to enforce laws that protect the moral and religious rights of pro-life medical workers.

The proposed regulations pertain to health care providers who refuse, as allowed under federal law, to perform or refer for abortions or prescribe drugs that may cause an abortion. The HHS guidelines would provide additional protection by proscribing that any recipient of federal aid, including hospitals, research clinics and medical schools, that restricts a medical worker’s right of conscience could lose federal funding.

Pro-abortion groups are outraged.

“It’s ironic that individuals who claim to be ‘pro-choice’ really don’t allow the choice of a physician or health care provider to practice with integrity and to follow their conscience,” said Dr. William L. Toffler, professor of family medicine at Oregon Health and Sciences University. “The idea of asking a Christian hospital system or a Christian doctor to violate their consciences, to violate their integrity, is anathema to everything this country was founded upon.”

In response to the proposed regulations, abortion advocates have asked supporters to e-mail notes of opposition to HHS. Liberal members of Congress have also sent letters to President Bush urging him to oppose the regulations.

Carrie Gordon Earll, senior bioethics analyst for Focus on the Family Action, said the regulations are crucial in the fight to protect life.

“Religious liberty and freedom of conscience are under attack, and nowhere is this more evident than in the areas of medicine and health care,” she said. “Federal safeguards increase the likelihood that pro-life hospitals and physicians will continue to be available to patients.”

TAKE ACTION
Please contact the White House and urge President Bush to support the proposed regulations from the Department of Health and Human Services. You can find contact information on our Action Center. Please also let your Member of Congress know that you support these regulations. You can find contact information on our Action Center.
