TO Obama- True individual freedom cannot exist without economic security and independence. People who are hungry and out of a job are the stuff of which dictatorships are made.
Obama said how many times that abortion would not be covered by tax dollars then had Emanuel, Pelosi and Reed write the HCR bill with abortion in it at least 17 times! He knowingly lied when he said it; congress overwhelmingly passed an amendment to remove it and now as it has always been Obama wants abortions covered. Why? Not just his views but all the money given to him by pro-abortion groups and all the promises he made to those groups. While abortion was covered in HCR Planned Parent Hood was touting the HCR bill was a wonderful piece of legislation now that it is out they are saying it is a terrible piece of legislation! Why? Money, Money and more Money to the abortion industry; they could care less about women’s health it's nothing but money to them! Obama could care less about your health as well. This is the first step he wants to take control of us socialy the next is through cap and trade where he wants to control us financially. He will control our health and our finances!
