Tell Us What You Think About Obamacare! by Mike Shields

Catherine, The Democrats have desperately tried everything in their power to change America’s opinion of Obamacare. From spending millions of dollars to give the law a PR makeover, to delaying implementation in an attempt to protect themselves from retribution at the polls — we are sick of the Democrats’ trying to pull the wool over our eyes. For four years we have heard President Obama and his liberal allies tell us that Obamacare will shrink health care costs and create jobs. Today we know the opposite to be true, and we are tired of the lies. Tell us what you think. Take our Obamacare survey and tell the Democrats how you really feel about this disastrous law!  It is time we made our voices heard. Thanks, Mike Shields RNC Chief of Staff

REPLY: I have never seen such a biased and unscientific poll in my life! This is ridiculous. 

And bravo! By advertising this poll via your Republican mailing list, you are guaranteed to have a majority of people say that they agree with you, thus making your results even MORE incorrect. No, I will not contribute any of my money to your campaign. 

The UNaffordable Care Act by Kris Anderson

Catherine, Obamacare was supposed to make health care more affordable for most Americans, but it is doing the opposite. The more we learn about the costs associated with this law, the more we see how detrimental it will be for our country. In short, the “Affordable Care Act” isn’t so affordable after all. This is why we need your help. Contribute $25, $50, $100, or whatever you can today to help us repeal this disastrous law.  Thanks, Kris Anderson RNC Research Director P.S. Share this infographic with your friends and show them just how bad Obamacare is for Americans!

Reply: Your first two "By the Numbers" are opinions only. They are not based on any fact except what the people polled THINK will happen. As the program has yet to be implemented, actual effects are as yet unknown.

$255 increase in household premiums every month. WHY? Convince me that insurance companies aren't artificially increasing rates because they can blame it on the law. 

Why will 7 million people lose their employer based health insurance? What changes are being made BY THE LAW which makes employers who could afford to offer insurance suddenly not? Or, again, are employers dropping coverage simply because they can blame it on the law rather than because they expect it to cost them more?

How about providing some different numbers? Such as the total amount spent on health care last year alone? How much of that was out of individuals pockets? How much by insurance companies? How much by the government? How much are health care costs expected to rise in the next few years? What are THOSE projected increases in premiums?

Which costs more in the long run: an insured person or an uninsured person?

Take A Stand by Sharon Day

Catherine, Two weeks ago, White House officials announced a one-year delay in implementation of key Obamacare initiatives. Obamacare was supposed to make healthcare more affordable for most Americans, but it is doing the opposite. And instead of trying to fix the problem, Democrats are pushing back implementation to save their electoral chances in 2014. Take a stand. Join us in holding the Democrats accountable for this train wreck. Contribute $5 today to receive your “Obama Doesn’t Care” bumper sticker! Thanks, Sharon Day RNC Co-Chair

REPLY: Once again, please EXPLAIN exactly how Obamacare will be more expensive for MOST of Americans? Are they the ones currently freeloading who will now be expected to pay a modest sum? Are they the employers who take home millions every year in salary while the lowest of their employees are FORCED INTO welfare because they cannot afford the basic costs of living? Or are you full of it and making stuff up to get votes? 

49% of Americans admit to not understanding the health care bill. Mightn't it be in EVERYONE'S best interest for you to help us understand? By using ALL it's passages as evidence to your claims? Or are you confusing us more by your loaded questions meant to cause "reasonable doubt"? 

Obamacare Train Wreck by Mike Shields

Catherine, Last week, the Obama administration made a unilateral decision to delay Obamacare’s employer mandate until after the midterm elections, leaving the individual mandate intact. But it’s not fair that only businesses get a delay. All Americans deserve a permanent delay of this unworkable, increasingly disastrous law. Obamacare is as unpopular as ever. Healthcare costs are rising, millennials will see higher premiums, and employers are cutting hours to avoid costly regulations – now the Democrats are worried it will be detrimental to their electoral chances. Contribute $25, $50, $100 or whatever you can today to help us hold the Democrats accountable for this train wreck. Thanks, Mike Shields RNC Chief of Staff

Umm...who is paying for those who don't have insurance? Leprechauns? Or tax dollars?

Catherine, do they finally get it? by Reince Priebus

Catherine, Last week, White House officials announced a one-year delay in implementation of key Obamacare initiatives. This is another setback for President Obama's signature legislation. Democrats are finally starting to realize that as more information on this law gets out, it will cause them to lose the Senate, and there will be no chance of retaking the House. This is why they are taking a big step back, putting key components on hold until after the 2014 midterm elections. We have always known that Obamacare is a bad law that will be detrimental for our country— now the Democrats are worried it will be detrimental to their electoral chances. Sign the petition to hold President Obama and the Democrats accountable! Sincerely, Reince Priebus Chairman, Republican National Committee

REPLY: Have you or have you not been pestering the Obama Administration to push back the implementation of this law?

The only concession I'll give you is that there's been too much confusion about what is or isn't in the law...which Republicans are equally guilty of propagating. But then when the Obama Administration tries to educate the public against the misinformation that Republicans are spreading (I saw the commercial recently full of loaded questions and zero answers which is an obvious ploy to spread fear), they're once again getting censured.

A year ago today by Mike Shields

Catherine, A year ago today, the Supreme Court ruled Obamacare constitutional. Obamacare is still bad policy, and bad medicine. It was, and will always be a disaster. We are continuing the fight to protect Americans from this terrible law. Contribute $5 today to receive your “Obama Doesn’t Care” bumper sticker today!  Sincerely, Mike Shields RNC Chief of Staff

REPLY:

So...no dissertation on why exactly Obamacare is a bad law. And constitutionality apparently doesn't mean that a law is good. And yet Republicans support many laws that are obviously unconstitutional. And declare that if something isn't in the constitution it can't happen period. Lovely.

NOTE: Sorry, I'm not very articulate right now.

Goodbye American Jobs by Sharon Day

Catherine, President Obama just announced his climate change plan – effectively putting a target on the back of tens of thousands of American jobs. From the same team that brought you Obamacare, this is nothing more than the President appeasing the hard left wing of his party with more job killing regulations instead of focusing on solutions to put Americans back to work. The President knows his harmful policies would have no shot of passing through Congress, so he’s relying on an executive order to circumvent the legislative process. President Obama’s own climate advisor even went so far as to claim, “a war on coal is exactly what’s needed” in this county. This is not acceptable, we cannot sit idly by while our President forces his liberal agenda on the American people. This is why we need your help. Sign the petition to tell President Obama to stop hurting our economy to appease his base. Thanks, Sharon Day RNC Co-Chair

"tell President Obama to stop hurting our economy to appease his base."

So...there is no base pleasing being done when Republicans so ardently deny climate change?! Please address the claims made in the Frontline documentary, "Big Sky, Big Money" where EXTREMELY hardcore Republicans lost their congressional seats simply because they believe in man-made climate change. And while you're viewing that, lets discuss the obnoxious amount of money being spent IN congress and FOR congress. Why is it that it's okay to cut everything EXCEPT congressional salaries and benefits?! And I mean the actual "faces" of government, not the poor interns who do all the grunt work and yet face the ONLY cuts congress will allow. Stop by Representative Rigell's office for more information.

A single vote by Joe Biden

Friend -- We have huge battles coming down the pike. A single vote in Congress may determine the outcome of immigration reform. A single vote may very well determine the next Supreme Court Justice. A single vote could be the difference between whether we get to take a step forward on issues like preventing gun violence, protecting women's rights, or implementing Obamacare. My good friend Ed Markey, who's running to fill John Kerry's Senate seat in Massachusetts, could be that vote -- and if he is, I know he'll do the right thing. Chip in $5 or more to help us elect Democrats like Ed who will have Barack's back in the months and years to come. I know and trust Ed. I'm absolutely confident that no matter what the pressures are, he'll vote his conscience and have the courage of his convictions. We'd be lucky to have a person of his caliber in the Senate -- but we can't take any election for granted. Don't wake up wondering if you could have done more. Chip in $5 right now: https://my.democrats.org/Ed-Markey Thanks, Joe

Obamacare's Glitzy Makeover by Mike Shields

Catherine, The Democrats’ latest stunt to sell Obamacare to the American people is spending millions of your tax dollars on a PR campaign. Obamacare was supposed to make healthcare more affordable for Americans, but it is doing the opposite. And instead of trying to fix the problem, Democrats want to pull the wool over America's eyes. As the Obamacare trainwreck heads into the station, the bad news keeps coming - spending millions to give the law a glitzy makeover will not change that. Enough is enough, we are sick and tired of the Obama Administration deceiving the American people. This is why we need your help.

Arm-twisting businesses to fund Obamacare by Reince Priebus

Catherine, Today, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius testified before Congress about her latest (potentially unethical and illegal) stunt to fundraise for Obamacare. There are two major issues with this: First, she is going around Congress to solicit money for the law’s implementation. Second, contacting companies on behalf of Enroll America is a major conflict of interest. In other words, she was arm-twisting businesses into bankrolling a bad law. Congress asked Sebelius to disclose who was getting hustled for money. Instead, she ducked questions about the extent of the fundraising happening throughout the administration. So much for transparency and accountability. Once again, Americans are seeing the hazards of a poorly designed health care law. Lowering health care costs and protecting patients was the purported goal of Obamacare. But for many Americans, Obamacare is doing exactly the opposite. Enough is enough, we are sick and tired of the Obama Administration deceiving the American people. This is why we need your help. Contribute $25, $50, $100, or whatever you can to help us hold this Administration accountable. Thank you, Reince Priebus Chairman, Republican National Committee

So....what's Kathleen Sebelius actually job description? I don't mean what's written on her door, but what she's supposed to spend her days doing. That would be nice to know.

Also, it'd be nice to know what exactly she was saying on behalf of Enroll America...and what exactly Enroll American is doing. Then you can compare what her job description is to what she was saying and accurately show the American public that what she's been doing is unethical.

All I see here is the same hot air I'm sure Sebelius gave Congress.

Unanswered Questions by Mike Shields

Catherine, It has been over two weeks since the Internal Revenue Service admitted to targeting and harassing conservative nonprofit groups and we still have no answers. As we slowly learn more about this scandal, we are finding out that the Cincinnati IRS employees may have received outside direction in the targeting, and may be even more widespread than we originally thought. To make things worse, the White House says it is “satisfied” with the IRS response. It is outrageous that they are satisfied when the IRS still has not answered even basic questions: Why weren’t liberal groups targeted? Did IRS employees take cues from President Obama's rhetoric? And how can we now trust the IRS to enforce Obamacare? We need your help to hold them accountable— contribute $25, $50, $200, or whatever you can today! Thanks, Mike Shields RNC Chief of Staff

You're right! I am dissatisfied with the Obama Administration's response--they should be giving this SAME harsh treatment to ALL 501 c 4 organizations! No one should hide behind fancy names and logos as they spew mass misinformation that more and more often is deciding elections.

I propose that you tell all your Washington friends to put their specific candidates on each of their ads. If every ad that comes out is attached DIRECTLY to a candidate in question, then that's a sufficient way to defend against corruptive propaganda.
