Michele Bachmann Correct: ObamaCare the Central Issue of 2012

A few weeks back there was a beer summit of  The San Diego Local Order of Bloggers. I was the sole blogger to back Michele Bachmann over all the other candidates. At that time, Sarah Palin and Chris Christie were viable options and Herman Cain, who I run http://www.yes-we-can.com in support of, had not yet found his footing. My reasoning was that she has proven herself a warrior in addition to being a politician.

Economic freedom is the basis of individual freedom, but I must remind everyone that ObamaCare is the central issue of 2012. Wavers and executive orders are not sufficient to defeat it. It must be repealed and it will be a battle that only one person in the Republican field seems to understand.

Michele Bachmann is currently the only candidate to express the understanding and drive to repeal ObamaCare. If not repealed now, America will be changed forever. Private health insurance will soon go bankrupt and 114 million Americans then lose their coverage. These people will be left calling for government intervention. Government will then step in and grab control over every aspect of your body and life.

It is ObamaCare stupid. The overall economy is just a distraction compared to the threat of ObamaCare. The economy cannot be fixed until ObamaCare (and then other government overreach) is repealed.

If you understand the importance of the Repeal of ObamaCare, then consider support for Michele Bachmann.  We need her to lead this fight and other candidates need to pledge full support of her efforts. It is her job to bring this issue to the forefront for 2012, but it is our job to support her efforts.

I remind everyone to sign the WhiteHouse.gov petition to Repeal ObamaCare.

Petition to Repeal ObamaCare at WhiteHouse.Gov Nears 1500 Signatures

The petition (click here) has grown to 935 signatures in just a couple days. Five thousand signatures are needed and the web site is suddenly experiencing trouble registering email addresses other than gmail accounts. When this petition gets the required 5,000 signatures, "...the Obama Administration will review it, make sure it gets to the appropriate policy officials, and issue an official response" per the site's policy. The deadline is October 22, 2011.

Further, it sometimes takes several tries to get the petition to display in your browser. Keep trying to view the petition and it will eventually display.  It will be a significant statement if we can complete this petition process before the Obama administration shuts it down.

Please share this information and help repeal ObamaCare.  Since passage of ObamaCare at least 1 million more people have lost their insurance coverage and America's poverty rate has surged. Rates of insurance for unemployed adults under 26 years of age have fallen, but nearly double the number of people over 26 have lost their insurance.

"Between 2009 and 2010, the percentage of people covered by private health insurance declined from 64.5 percent to 64.0 percent, while the percentage covered by government health insurance increased from 30.6 percent to 31.0 percent. The percentage covered by employment-based health insurance declined from 56.1 percent to 55.3 percent." http://www.census.gov/newsroom/releases/archives/income_wealth/cb11-157.html

The Kaiser Family Foundation 2011 report shows, "The 9% increase for family premiums between 2010 and 2011 is significantly greater than the 3% family premium increase between 2009 and 2010."
