Texas Insider Report: AUSTIN Texas You need to know & understand the change in tactics liberal groups are taking to help save national healthcare. Last month Politico did an article on a change in the messaging from key White House allies for the new healthcare legislation. The article was overlooked by mainstream media and was picked up by only a handful of internet news sites.
A confidential conference call and PowerPoint briefing was conducted by
FamiliesUSA. Research and polling supporting the briefing
was conducted by The Herndon Alliance funded by Obamacare heavyweight supporters such as:
- AARP
- AFL-CIO
- SEIU
- Health Care for America Now
- MoveOn
- La Raza
- and others.
Overall this briefing was about the struggle to convince Americans that Obamacare is good and to derail the overwhelming public opinion to repeal it. Additionally the briefing admitted the White Houses sales pitch about lower costs has failed.
They know Obamacare will cost us trillions. The research they conducted prior to this briefing reveals that the new sales pitch must be personal
narratives and promises to change the legislation."
So basically the jigs up about Obamacare saving us money so they are now turning to tugging on heart strings to save this Obamination of socialized healthcare and promise to modify the legislation to make it better.
Liberals still dont get it. Mainstream America doesnt want socialized healthcare.
Its been proven globally country after country that it will cost us trillions and the quality and availability will go down.
Most Americans agree that we should help those in need and especially when they need medical attention. The solution to offer such help is where conservatives vehemently disagree with liberals.
In my opinion we should help our fellow Americans in need but it should be ones own decision to do so and not the governments decision. America has more charitable programs than any other country.
Is there more we could do? … yes. But it should be created at the local level by citizens church groups or other groups and NOT by the federal government.
Local programs run by local citizens are more effective more responsive and less costly.
Ultimately you need to be aware that liberals will not rest and will not stop until we have a working national healthcare system thats fully funded. They have recently
changed their tactics to sway public opinion and will continue to find other tactics if heart strings and promises wont work.
Conservatives must stand strong and continue to stand against it. We must not rest or sit back down.
I promise you liberals will not.
