Soros and the Tides Foundation fund
the Obamacare single payer Campaign
As the liberal mainstream media talks about the high stakes battle to own the healthcare industry in the United States (1/7th of the nation's Gross National Product) a growing cadre of rich liberals have joined the fray to convince the American people that a majority of the taxpayers want a single payer national healthcare system. Any march on Washington by the real advocates for Canadian or European-style government health care, it would be a short commute—from 1825 K Street in the nation's capitol most of the moneyed social progressive organizations in Washington have their offices. Around the corner and down the street from Congress and the White House.

Eighteen-twenty-five K St., NW, which is in the heart of "lobbyland," is known as "the other K Street" since that's where many of those who lobby against America's future hang their hats. Among those who hang their hats there from 9-to-5 are MoveOn.org, the social progressive Center for American Progress, the Campaign for America's Future, SEIU (Service Employees International Union), and the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees and several lesser known but equally far left organizations who are determined to convert free enterprise America into a soft totalitarian state-controlled economic dictatorship.

Contributions to naturalized socialist Hungarian-born George Soros- financed Move-On, or to the Center for American Progress or the Campaign for America's Future (meaning America's communist future) come from a variety of far left social progressives who will profit handsomely from the collapse of the free enterprise system. Among them are Sen. John Kerry and his wife and partial heir to the Heinz fortune, Theresa Heinz-Kerry, the Atlantic Philanthropies, a Bermuda-based charity fronted by Soros-acolyte Gara LaMarche, billionaire Progressive Insurance executive Peter Lewis, leftwing subprime mortgage brokers Herb and Marion Sandler, and the Kerrys' leftist head of the Tides Foundation, Drummond Pike. (Pike, by the way, is the guy who wrote the check to cover the million dollar embezzlement of ACORN funds by Dale Rathke (brother of ACORN founder Wade Rathke—who also, by the way, sits on the Board of Directors of the Tides Foundation.)

The Tides Foundation, a 501[c]3 charity funds some of the nation's most notorious radical activist groups including the communist-friendly United for Peace and Justice and the jihadist-friendly National Lawyers Guild and the Council on American-Islamic Relations. Pike and Soros appear to be the co-founders of Heath Care for America Now [HCAN], acknowledged by Resident Barack Hussein Obama (since the election in Iran, who is now proud to use his middle name). The core constituency of HCAN comes from varied leftwing groups beginning with ACORN (now Community Organizations International), Americans United for Change, Campaign for America's Future, Center for American Progress, Center for Community Change, MoveOn, SEIU, and Citizen Action (which has now reinvented itself as USAction). Citizen Act is the advocacy group founded by Saul Alinksy adherent, Heather Booth.

Richard Kirsh, the national campaign director for HCAN, wrote a piece for the Huffington Post on July 16, 2008 in which he raised the question of the single payer system, then answered those wondering why HCAN was not focusing on creating a single-payer health insurance system. Like any good socialist, Kirsh noted that the term "single payer system" scares people who envision the failed Canadian and European healthcare systems. On June 24, Congressman Tom Price [R-GA], Chairman of the House Republican Study Committee, questioned White House Economic Advisor Christine Romer about statements made by Obama and the Democratic leadership that the proposed plan would not be a single payer program and, in fact, they said, if the American people like the healthcare plan they currently have, they can keep it. Romer said that was correct. Price noted that under the Obama orchestrated healthcare reform act (which, as of June 19, did not have an official name) you can only keep that healthcare plan you like—but only for five years. At the end of five years, everyone in the country will have to be enrolled in whatever plan is enacted by Congress.

With all of the rhetoric about choice, there will only be one plan on the table. It will be a single payer plan that will initially cost at least $1.6 trillion per year—if the federal government leaves 30 million people uninsured. (But notice that no one is saying what 30 million will be excluded from coverage.) Obama's single payer program, if it covered everyone, would realistically cost about $3 trillion per year when all of the warts are exposed because the cost to administer this bureaucratic nightmare would exceed the cost allocated for medical services. And, that's why HCAN is fanning the myth that Obama does not favor a single payer plan.

HCAN "marched" on Capitol Hill last week to demand universal healthcare. Like I said, it was a short "march." From K Street, around the corner, down Pennsylvania Avenue past the White House, and into the waiting arms of the social progressive in the House and Senate who are preparing the legislation to give the people of America a cornucopia of Big Brother gifts in exchange for the Bill of Rights—which is already being merged with the UN Covenant on Human Rights by leftwing federal justices appointed to the bench by the far-left controlled US Senate. Folks, we really need to open our eyes. We are in deep trouble here. The American taxpayers are rolling up their pantlegs, thinking they can wade through the hard times. What they really need is scuba gear and a snorkel because the political quagmire we are in is already over our heads.

La Raza demands healthcare for illegals
The National Council of La Raza, an open borders advocacy group that fights for rights for illegal aliens issued a statement paralleling a note sent to the White House and to Congressional leaders in Washington demanding that Congress ensure that illegal aliens are given the same health benefits as US citizens as Congress debates healthcare reform.

In the June 15 press release, La Raza president and CEO Janet Murguia said "...I strongly urge...Obama and Congress to make every effort to ensure that health care reform reaches all communities..." in the United States. She continued, saying that "...one out of every three uninsured persons, roughly 40% of all uninsured children here are Latino...[and that] health care reform that makes coverage affordable and accessible to everyone—all families and all children."

The Pew Foundation's April 14, 2009 Pew Hispanic Center's recent report, "A Portrait of Unauthorized Immigrants in the United States" found that 59% of illegal aliens in the United States had no form of health insurance in 2007. It also found that only about 25% of the anchor-children of illegals (those born in the United States with claim to citizenship rights) are covered by some form of State or federal insurance. The Pew Report noted that there was significant disparity between the volume of uninsured illegal aliens and the volume of US citizens and other legal residents. The Pew data dovetails with a survey done by the Bush-43 Department of Homeland Security and the US Census Bureau in 2007 that 33.2% of the foreign-born population in the United States, or about 10 million people, lacked any type of health insurance.

To which I must ask: "so what?" It is not, nor ever should be, the responsibility of the taxpayers of the United States to foot the bill for the healthcare costs of illegal aliens—nor even those who are in this country legally but are not citizens of this nation. This is not the Promised Land. This is the Land-Formerly-Known-As-The-Greatest-Nation-On-Earth. Today, it is the world's worst debtor nation. Our borders are like giant-sized eyes of the needle that drain jobs at an even faster rate than our porous borders admit job-seekers (or those who were told America is the land of perpetual government handouts), or pregnant women coming to give birth hoping their anchor babies will allow them to stay. They pass each other in the dead-of-night at the Rio Grande and other border crossings, some going north, some going south. The social progressives in Washington, DC are now telling the American people—who have already been economically gang-raped by the social progressives on both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue—that it's our responsibility to dig into empty pockets to feed and clothe them and now, provide them with healthcare benefits as well.

Adding insult to injury, the New York Times reported 0n April 8, 2009 that the Obama Administration planned to push a new amnesty bill through Congress that would grant citizenship to some 12 million illegals. The announcement in April was made by Obama's new White House Director of Intergovernmental Affairs, Cecilia Munoz. Munoz, who should never have been named for this position, nor confirmed, previously lobbied the Bush-43 for amnesty for illegals as the Senior Vice President of the National Council of La Raza.

Some of the nation's leading economists said it would be a mistake for Obama to push such an amnesty bill with unemployment levels at a 25-year high. When the amnesty plans were announced by the White House, Congressman Lamar Smith [R-TX] said that roughly "...seven million illegals are holding jobs rightfully belonging to out-of-work citizens and legal residents," and that "...no nation should force its citizens and legal workers to compete with illegal immigrants for jobs." Resident Obama apparently agrees. That's why he intends to make the illegals the newest citizens of the United States. That way, out-of-work Americans will be competing with newly-sworn in citizens for jobs they will never get unless they are willing to work for far less money with far fewer benefits.

Aren't you glad you voted for change in 2008?

US Attorney asks for a second extension
to decide who is representing whom in the
matter of Kerchner et al v. Obama et al
On April 13, 2009 Assistant US Attorney Elizabeth A. Pascal asked federal magistrate Joel Schneider of the US District Court for the District of New Jersey, Camden Vicinage for an extension until May 5, 2009. Appearing in the courtroom on behalf of her client, Barack Hussein Obama, Pascal told the judge that she had just been appraised of the fact that defendant Richard Cheney, the former Vice President of the United States had also requested that the Department of Justice represent him in the matter of Kerchner et al v. Obama et al, too.

Kerchner, a retired military officer, together with several other military retirees, filed their original lawsuit on January 20, 2009, naming as co-defendants the United States Senate, the US House of Representatives and Speaker Nancy Pelosi (collectively referred to as "Congressional Defendants"), as well as Resident Barack Obama (a/k/a Barry Soetoro). In their suit, which was amended on January 21, 2009 and again on February 2, 2009, the plaintiffs assert that the defendants collectively violated their Constitutional rights by failing in their responsibility to conclusively prove that Obama is a natural born citizen and, therefore, may not be eligible to serve as President of the United States.

Summons were served on the US Attorney for the District of New Jersey on or about February 17, 2009 and on US Attorney General Eric Holder on or about February 23, 2009. Service on the House and Senate were served on the Attorney General. It is noteworthy that the Washington Post, which loudly proclaims itself to be the sole Guardian at the Gateway of Liberty, failed to note or report, that all of the leaders of the United States had collectively been sued for what should have been called malfeasance of office—an impeachable offense. The New York Times, which prides itself on printing all of the news that is fit to print was also mute.

Pascal was back in court on Monday, June 8 with a "Motion to Extend Time in which to Answer, Move or Otherwise Respond to Plaintiffs' Complaint" [Doc. No. 17] asking for 20 more days. Pascal noted she had initially been charged only with representing Mr. Obama, and then, in April, Mr. Cheney. To date, no attorney other than Pascal has been assigned to the task of defending this action. (I guess the White House thinks it only takes one lawyer to file a Motion to Dismiss.) However, this time around, it might not be that easy. Pascal noted that all of the legislative defendants have also asked for the Department of Justice to defend them. Pascal said that the DoJ was still processing the requests, but Holder does not appear ready to commit a team of lawyers to this case and make it appear to the public that Kerchner et al actually has a valid, constitutional argument—which they do. For Obama, here's the rub: in all of the past actions the plaintiffs' sued Obama and not the government agency constitutionally charged with the responsibility of vetting the credentials of candidates for the office of President of the United States. In each case, the court very plainly told the plaintiffs that it was not the job of the court—or the plaintiff—to vet the credentials of the candidates.

If it was not the courts' responsibility, whose job is it? That duty falls on the Congress of the United States, and in particular, the President of the Senate whose job it was to certify the election results. And, the members of Congress whose function it is to vet candidates when the qualifications to seek the office of President of the United States are called into question. The plaintiffs sued because when allegations that Obama might not be a natural born citizen of the United States as required by the US Constitution surfaced, Congress did nothing. The United States Congress was malfeasant by failing to address a 1st Amendment petition, and for refusing to investigate whether or not the allegations against a presidential candidate were valid.

Congress actually did investigate the allegations that GOP presidential candidate Sen. John McCain [R-AZ] may not be a natural born citizen since he was born in the Panama Canal Zone. The US Senate found, in Senate Res. 511, that because McCain was born of two native-born US citizen parents, he constitutionally qualified to be construed a natural born citizen. (The Senate noted that their authority to vet the qualifications of presidential candidates came from Section 3 of the 20th Amendment and from 3 USC 15, respectively, for the purpose of conclusively verifying that the President-elect is qualified under the terms of the Constitution, to serve as President of the United States.) Without making any effort—not even a feeble, phony-excuse of one—to investigate Obama, the Senate simply dismissed all allegations questioning Obama's citizenship as a detraction not worth investigating while it actually investigated McCain's as required by law.

The Kerchner lawsuit specifically asks the court, by way of Mandamus, to compel Congress to hold the appropriate open hearings under the 20th Amendment to ascertain, once and for all, whether defendant Obama was born in the United States of America and qualifies as a "natural born" citizen.

Plaintiffs are seeking remedies under the 1st, 5th, 9th and 10th Amendments. They are suing under the 1st Amendment because Congress denied them their right to address their grievances against the government by petition. Congress was simply too busy to be bothered. When that happens, we no longer have a representative government but an authoratarian government. Under the 5th Amendment, all of the defendants, individually and collectively, denied them procedural due process and, thus, denied them equal protection under the law. Under the 9th Amendment, government cannot disparage or deny the constitutional rights of the people, and under the 10th Amendment, if the courts feel its not the job of Congress, then it must construe that the right to vet the candidate belong to the people and the States, respectively.
