"For 40 Years Leading the Fight for Constitutional Government"

 

Dismantle ObamaCare!

 

Dear Patriot,

 

[Partial letter] ...You need to know that since Barack Obama took office in 2009 we've faced challenges like no other time in our history. Make no mistake. With the upcoming 2014 mid-term elections... will be critical to undoing the tremendous damage he's done and turning our country back around...

 

...we've been on the front lines in the fight to pressure Congress to chip away at and dismantle ObamaCare piece-by-piece – legislatively. We've contacted over 1.6 million Americans to keep the heat on their representatives in Congress to chip away at this anti-freedom legislation and massive government takeover of our health care. And here's where we stand right now:

 

·        Reps. Phil Roe, M.D. (R-TN) and Allyson Schwartz (D-PA) have introduced the bi-partisan legislation that would REPEAL ObamaCare's Medicare Rationing Board (aka, the senior American "death panel") run by big-government bureaucrats. It's called the "Protecting Seniors' Access to Medicare Act" (H.R. 351). And recently Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) introduced the companion bill (5. 1316) in the Senate.

 

·        Bi-partisan bills in the House and Senate – H.R. 523 by Rep. Erik Paulsen (R-MN) and S. 232 by Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-UT) – have been introduced to repeal ObamaCare's medical device tax that is now killing jobs and eliminating innovation of life-saving technologies and treatments that could save you or a loved one.

 

               (The Senate overwhelmingly passed Sen. Hatch's Amendment to the Senate Budget to repeal ObamaCare's medical device tax. Since this vote was on a budget resolution, it doesn't finish repealing the tax from ObamaCare. A separate bill must be passed to finish repealing the tax. But, this significant vote shows uncommon bi-partisan support in the Senate to repeal the tax.)

 

·        The House recently passed the "Keep The IRS Off Your Health Care Act" (H.R. 2009) to stop the corrupt IRS from implementing or enforcing any part of ObamaCare – and protect Americans like you and me from the bullying tactics of the IRS in our health care choices. Now the battle to stop the IRS from policing any part of ObamaCare continues in the Senate.

 

·        Over half of the states have joined in the rebellion against ObamaCare by refusing to set up the huge state bureaucracies to toe the line with the many dangerous and economically devastating provisions of ObamaCare.

 

What's more, ObamaCare is even losing the support of workers groups and unions – President Obama's biggest constituency – that once supported ObamaCare. This is encouraging. But don't think for a minute we can sit back. You and I both know how Congress banters back and forth, gets stuck in political quicksand and gets nothing done.

 

But with many in Congress already concerned about their re-election hopes next year this may be our last chance to stop government from erasing our liberty, rationing our health care and preventing the massive tax increases we'll all face under ObamaCare.

 

As you know, when politicians are concerned about re-election it's often the ONLY time they listen and act on the voters' will for fear of losing. That's why I'm counting on you to continue your support of our campaign to rally massive public pressure on Congress to defund and dismantle ObamaCare...

 

Make no mistake. It will take a massive and unprecedented outpouring of public pressure from voters like you in the grassroots to force Congress to defund and dismantle ObamaCare before it's too late.

 

That's why it's so important that I know if you'll continue to stand with TCC again and help us remain vigilant on the front lines fighting this all-important battle.

 

I think you'll agree - 2014 will be one of the most important years in our history.

 

But we can only continue fighting this critical battle – and battles ahead – with TCC members... continuing to stand behind us and our efforts... I'm proud to be associated with you (TCC, P.O. Box 1890, Merrifield, VA 22116-8090).

 

Sincerely,

Peter J. Thomas

Chairman

"For 40 Years Leading the Fight for Constitutional Government"

 

Dismantle ObamaCare!

 

Dear Patriot,

 

[2-2014 letter] I don't mean to be abrupt or rude, but I must be perfectly frank with you. Right now it's time for action, too late for talk. You've been a good friend to our nationwide grassroots campaign to pressure Congress to pass newly-introduced legislation to dismantle ObamaCare piece by piece legislatively.

 

So I felt you should know some disturbing news that is affecting our effort to get several key bills passed that would repeal some of the most dangerous parts of ObamaCare... including repealing the Medicare Rationing Board provision ["The Protecting Senior' Access to Medicare Act" (S. 351)], repealing some of the tax increases [S. 232 would Repeal ObamaCare's medical device tax], and prohibiting the corrupt IRS from policing ObamaCare [H.R. 2009 "Keep the IRS Off Your Health Care Act"] – before it becomes too firmly entrenched and harder to undo...

 

...so far we've contacted more than 6 million of our fellow taxpayers with letters, educational material and surveys on legislative efforts to start dismantling ObamaCare.

 

I want you to know we are starting to see support on our side to help chip away at this anti-freedom legislation and massive government takeover of our heath care that is ObamaCare.

 

But now we must use this information to create tremendous pressure on Congress to bring these key bills for a vote before the November elections.

 

My sources tell me, many in Congress – on both sides of the aisle – are starting to support the repeal of the worst provisions of ObamaCare piece by piece. But powerful, entrenched political opponents, who want to force ObamaCare down the throats of Americans, bitterly oppose any legislative effort to dismantle ObamaCare.

 

They don't care that under ObamaCare:

 

·        You may lose your doctor of many years, as doctors who now accept Medicare flee the new ObamaCare big-government health care system.

 

·        After that, you may lose your freedom to choose a new doctor or treatment of your choice.

 

·        You or your loved ones may be turned away from life-saving medical procedures because the panel of bureaucrats decides it's "too expensive."

 

·        Senior Americans may be especially hit hard by the Medicare Rationing Board who may decide their fate, often based upon age and expense to treat...

 

I need you [with Letter to your Senators] to help me get your Senators behind common-sense pro-taxpayer, pro-senior legislation [now pending] that would start dismantling ObamaCare before the November elections.

 

They will not act anytime soon unless thousands of constituents like you stand behind us and make your wishes known. I simply must have a stack of letters to present to them for maximum impact as they debate on the several bills now pending in Congress that would start to repeal the most dangerous part of ObamaCare.

 

As you know, a host of economic experts, doctors and health care professionals agree: These government-mandated provisions that control our health care choices will be the biggest loss of individual freedom to choose what is right for ourselves and our families in our nation's history. That's why I need your help today.

 

With many in Congress already concerned about their re-election hopes later this year, you can bet they will pay heed to the thousands of letters we must collect from their constituents like you back home.

 

As we all know, when a politician is concerned about re-election, that is often the ONLY time they listen and act on the voter's will, for fear of losing.

 

If I can't count on you and our other supporters to help put extra pressure on these politicians, you can bet the bipartisan support we are starting to build in support of the many good bills now pending in Congress that would start dismantling ObamaCare will just die... And we won't be able to stop the unelected, unaccountable Washington bureaucrats from making our personal health care choices. This is the worst thing that can happen.

 

Now I've talked or written to almost every TCC Member. I have told them we may never get another chance to repeal the most dangerous provisions of ObamaCare before it becomes too firmly entrenched and harder to undo.

 

I have stressed how congress needs massive public opinion from millions of grassroots Americans if we're going to win this crucial battle. Now most supporters agree with me 100% – until I ask for money. Money to pay for our nationwide survey and petition gathering campaign which helps create the momentum needed to keep the pressure on Congress until they vote for the several key bills that will start dismantling ObamaCare piece-by-piece until it falls like a house of cards.

 

 

Make no mistake. Unless we act quickly and redouble our efforts during the fierce debates in Congress, we won't be able to chip away at and dismantle ObamaCare – or stop the financial hardship and threat to our personal health care choices.

 

Without our effort, this important legislation to repeal the worst parts of ObamaCare could be lost. I don't want this to happen, but I can't prevent it without continued support like yours. As I've said before, there just wouldn't be The Conservative Caucus fighting this battle to protect the personal health care choices of Americans if it wasn't for loyal supporters like you.

 

But I'm tired of hearing how good it is we're going "all out" to give Congress hard facts and grassroots public opinion about the dangers of ObamaCare – and how we must dismantle ObamaCare. Talk is cheap. And unfortunately, too many of our supporters are talking – but not giving to help fund our crucial effort.

 

I've heard a lot of people talk and complain about how government control over our lives, our pocketbooks, and our personal health care choices are growing at breakneck speed. They worry about paying the mortgage, paying for their medicines and keeping food on the table. They worry about what kind of America their children and grandchildren will inherit.

 

Others complain about how outrageous it is Obama and his Administration are continuing to execute the implementation of ObamaCare though we can see that millions of Americans will be hurt and are already being hurt from it financially and physically.

 

Yes, I've heard a lot of talk and complaints, but when it comes to backing up this talk, I've seen too little action. In fact, when it comes right down to it, only a fraction of the people I contact contribute money to our effort that would change the very things they complain about.

 

But our campaign to dismantle ObamaCare in 2014 will not be won with talk. No! It will be with hard work and money. Money that pays for our nationwide grassroots pressure campaign to BARRAGE Congress with hard evidence of public opinion they will not be able to ignore. Money that pays to counteract Obama's big-spending special interest groups who want to prevent the repeal of ObamaCare...

 

....I must ask you to help take up the slack for the talkers and complainers today. It costs about 60 cents in printing and mailing costs to reach just one American with our letters, surveys and petitions. And we must reach tens of millions to keep the heat on Congress and the candidates to support legislation that would start dismantling the worst provisions of ObamaCare piece by piece.

 

The personalized Letter to the Senate – like the one I've enclosed for you today – was costly as well. And I need to get these into the hands of constituents of every Senator asking them to support the several key bills now pending that would start to repeal ObamaCare's most dangerous provisions...

 

...thanks to support like yours we've been able to reach more than 6 million Americans. But many in Washington tell me we MUST reach many, many more to pressure others in Congress to get behind newly-introduced legislation that starts the process of dismantling ObamaCare...

 

I've figured we need to raise at least $345,000 within the next 45 days just to keep our nationwide public pressure campaign – our surveys, petitions, postcards and letters to barrage Congress – running at the present level, much less "turn up the heat" on them...

 

Can you possibly send an emergency contribution to The Conservative Caucus to help?... If you're not still behind us, let me know that too so I'll know which friends we can count on in this pro-American, pro-liberty battle with politicians in Washington.

 

But whatever you do, please let me hear from you – one way or the other. Again, I apologize if I seem abrupt or rude. But you and I must take up the slack for the talkers and complainers. There is no solution but to fight and win!

 

Yours to Dismantle ObamaCare,

Peter J. Thomas, Chairman.

 

P.S.    ...we must act now. We must use this opportunity to turn up the heat on Congress and force them to support "the public will" which overwhelmingly supports dismantling ObamaCare in 2014 before it becomes too entrenched and harder to undo. I'm counting on you to help...

"For 40 Years Leading the Fight for Constitutional Government"

 

2014 Emergency U.S. Health Care Straw Poll

on

Congressional Legislation to Dismantle ObamaCare

 

Dear TCC Member,

 

[3-2014 partial letter] I urgently need your help to get legislation passed that is pending in Congress that would start dismantling ObamaCare – before it takes away your personal health care choices, increases your taxes and devastates our economy. I am writing to rally loyal supporters of The Conservative Caucus (TCC) to vote on the [requested] enclosed Emergency U.S. Health Care Straw Poll...

 

You may know from the last time I wrote, a host of economic experts, doctors and health care professionals agree: These government mandated provisions that control our health care choices will be the biggest loss of individual freedom to choose what is right for ourselves and our families in our nation's history...

 

·        You may lose your doctor of many years, as doctors who now accept Medicare flee the new ObamaCare big-government, health care bureaucracy.

 

·        After that, you may lose your freedom to choose your new doctor or treatment of your choice.

 

·        You or your loved ones may be turned away from life-saving medical procedures because the panel of bureaucrats decides it is "too expensive."

 

·        And Senior Americans may be especially hard hit by the Medicare Rationing Board which may decide their fate, often based upon age and expense to treat.

 

But right now there is bold, no-nonsense legislation pending in Congress that would knock out the worst provisions of this anti-freedom, massive government takeover of our health care, and cause ObamaCare to fall like a house of cards:

 

·        The bipartisan "Protecting Seniors' Access to Medicare Act" (H.R. 351) would REPEAL ObamaCare's Medicare Rationing Board (aka, the senior American "death panel") big-government bureaucrats, under HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius (who was in charge of the ObamaCare website mess);

 

·        Bipartisan bills in the House and Senate (H.R. 523 and S. 232) would repeal ObamaCare's "medical device tax" that is now killing jobs and eliminating innovation of life-saving technologies and treatments that could save you or a loved one;

 

·        The House recently passed the "Keep The IRS Off Your Health Care Act" (H.R. 2009) to stop the corrupt IRS from implementing or enforcing any part of ObamaCare. Now we'll have a big fight in the Senate to pass this pro-taxpayer legislation to protect Americans like you and me.

 

·        And House and Senate bills, H.R. 3541 and S. 1726, have been introduced to repeal Obama's planned taxpayer bailout of health insurance companies that lose billions by participating in ObamaCare.

 

And more than half of our States have joined in the rebellion against ObamaCare by refusing to set up huge state bureaucracies to toe the line with the many dangerous and economically devastating provisions of ObamaCare.

 

I think you'll agree this is encouraging. But don't think for a minute we can sit back. You and I both know how Congress banters back and forth, gets stuck in political quicksand and gets nothing done despite the rhetoric.

 

That's why we here at The Conservative Caucus (TCC) are spearheading a massive grassroots effort on Congress to pass these key pieces of legislation to dismantle ObamaCare -- before it becomes too firmly entrenched and harder to undo.

 

That is why I urgently need you and... TCC members and supporters I am writing today in the "grassroots" to [request for] return your election-year U.S. Health Care Straw Poll right away.

 

Your answers are critical to our effort. Your answers will tell me whether or not taxpayers favor legislative efforts to dismantle ObamaCare. And how much support we can get behind our effort. Don't think for a minute the power of public pressure on Congress can't dismantle ObamaCare. With your help we can!

 

Make no mistake though. It will take a massive and unprecedented outpouring of public pressure from voters in the grassroots to force Congress to dismantle the worst provisions of ObamaCare before it becomes too firmly entrenched.

 

As I've said before, and I cannot stress this enough as I write to you we don't have a lot of time. Your participation in this urgent Straw Poll can play a major role in pressuring your elected officials in Congress to start dismantling the worst provisions of this anti-liberty, anti-taxpayer legislation.

 

The results of this Straw Poll will provide HARD evidence to your Members of Congress about the opinion of their constituents back home. So please do your part by [requesting for] returning yours. It will only take a few minutes of your time to complete.

 

To be blunt, with many of ObamaCare's most dangerous provisions already going into effect, we may not have much time left to save America from its damaging effects. So time is critical. There is no time to waste!

 

I think you'll agree, we can no longer afford to sit on the sidelines and accept this government intrusion that will bankrupt our nation, cripple job recovery, over-burden taxpayers, ration our health care and eliminate the innovation of life-saving technologies and treatments.

 

With your help today, and the help of... TCC members I am writing, we can take the teeth from ObamaCare by rallying enormous public pressure and media attention -- while re-election is on the minds of politicians -- on just how badly the American taxpayer wants to undo the path to Obama's socialized medicine...

 

As you know, we are uniquely qualified to take on and win this battle. For 40 years, TCC has been the leading grassroots citizen-action grassroots citizen-action group defending American liberty and constitutional principles.

 

And, thanks to support from everyday people like you across America, TCC has been one of the preeminent defenders of American freedom and independence in important battles such as:

 

·        Stopping Congress' effort in 2013 to pass legislation to legalize millions of illegal aliens that would devastate our economy and vastly expand the welfare state;

 

·        Fighting against encroachment by the anti-American UN and other globalist bureaucracies who want to redistribute America's wealth to 3rd world regimes;

 

·        Stopping dangerous proposals as the UN "Law of the Sea Treaty" that would globa1ize and redistribute the wealth from mining under the ocean floor;

 

·        Blocking the Clinton health care takeover;

 

·        And just in the last few months we've reached 6 million Americans to get them behind our battle to dismantle ObamaCare and have made it our #1 priority this year.

 

I want you to know our past successes like these in Washington were won by efforts just like this -- by rallying massive public pressure on Congress through letter-writing, survey and petition campaigns and getting major media attention.

 

But our fight to chip away at and dismantle ObamaCare may be the most hard-fought in TCC's long history. So we must depend upon the support of TCC members and friends like you all across the country to succeed. I hope you will do your part in this critical effort today.

 

Now even if you are undecided about some of your Straw Poll questions, please return it to me. We must have ample and accurate results from thousands of concerned voters to create a tremendous impact and make it clear that if our representatives don't work to dismantle ObamaCare -- they risk being voted out of office in the mid-term elections.

 

And as we all know, politicians are all about getting votes to keep their jobs. Especially in an election year.

 

I think you'll agree, because so many Members of Congress are especially sensitive to public opinion right now, this is our golden opportunity to really put the heat on them to dismantle ObamaCare by passing these key bills that would do so or there will be massive blowback in the mid-term elections.

 

We must keep up the pressure and hit Congress with both barrels from taxpayers like you and me to get Congress to whittle away at ObamaCare until it is completely dismantled and buried once and for all.

 

As you know, our country is at a serious crossroads. And the more people learn about ObamaCare, the more they realize it is crucial to "undo" it by every means possible if we are to protect our individual freedom and save our economy from this monstrous legislation that was shoved down our throats.

 

Clearly, ObamaCare is unlikely to be overturned in one fell swoop. But it must – and can – be dismantled piece-by-piece until it falls like a house of cards.

 

Can I count on your help to make that happen? I hope so. For us to succeed, we must get letters like this and Straw Polls into the hands of at least 1 million voters in a matter of weeks. And in the next new few months we need millions more as Congress debates the terrible consequences of ObamaCare.

 

It costs TCC about 58 cents in postage, printing and mailing costs to reach just one person, so I will initially need to raise $580,000. To take our message and national grassroots campaign to the airwaves and to launch a massive Internet campaign will cost hundreds of thousands more in the coming months.

 

Because TCC is a non-profit organization and works on a shoestring budget, we just don't have that kind of money. So when you return your 2014 Emergency U.S. Health Care Straw Poll, I hope you will consider sending a generous contribution to help us fund this critical effort.

 

Your contribution of $15 will help me reach 26 voters with letters and straw polls. If you send $25 I'd be able to reach 43 voters. If you are in a position to send $100 or more you'd help me reach at least another 172 voters!

 

But whatever you can afford, it will be put to use right away. Please be assured even a small contribution will make an enormous difference. Every gift will allow TCC to recruit more voters and supporters across the nation to help in this all-important national campaign.

 

I hope I can count on you to "pitch in" and help TCC again today. Like me, you're probably asked to give to many worthy causes these days. But frankly no one is taking charge like we are.

 

Our biggest danger is if too many people think their individual participation won't make a difference. I hope you don't feel that way.

 

TCC's 40-year history of fighting battles like this gives us the know-how and unique experience to succeed, but only if enough like-minded citizens do their part to help us. I hope you will.

 

There is so much at stake for you, your family and our nation's future. So please let me hear back from you today.

 

Yours to win the battle to dismantle ObamaCare,

Peter J. Thomas

Chairman

 

P.S. Remember, we have very little time to stop government from erasing our liberty, rationing our health care and to prevent the massive tax increases we'll all face -- dismantling the most dangerous provisions of it legislatively.

 

But it can be done. Already there are several bills pending in Congress that start dismantling the worst provisions of ObamaCare, including repeal of the Medicare Rationing Board and some of the tax increases. But we must keep pressure on our representative in Congress -- especially while re-election is on their minds -- to create enough pressure to get them passed. With help like yours, we can.

 

Make no mistake. ObamaCare poses the greatest threat to our personal choice, our freedom and our economic future in America's history.

 

So please – I hope you'll do your part by casting your vote in your 2014 Emergency U.S. Health Care Straw Poll [requested] enclosed in your specially registered document. Please return it -- today if possible -- along with your best contribution to help us fund this critical grassroots pressure campaign. Thank you (TCC, P.O. Box 1890, Merrifield, VA 22116-8090).
