Dear Senator Boutin,

I have been hearing from a number of our constituents, all of whom are asking us not to pass in any form, this expanded medicaid program that is being debated during this special session.

As of tonight, I have seen no public statements, or emails showing that you are opposed to the passage of this faulty legislation. Therefore, I assume that you are working to pass this. I have attempted to contact you several times through both phone calls to your cell phone as well as to your state house office. To date I have not heard back from you in person.

Therefore:

1. Please vote NO on any form of expanded medicaid, vote NO on the adoption of any amendment, vote NO on any house bill that makes it over during this special session.

On May 19 of this year, Francois Gissy claimed a new land speed world record by reaching 263 km/h (163 mph) on a rocket-powered bicycle. Now the flying Frenchman has gone even faster, hitting a peak speed of 285 km/h (177 mph) in just 6.7 seconds, making it the fastest anyone has ever ridden a bicycle.   The 285 km/h run took place at Interlaken, Switzerland, on October 7 on just 790 m (2,590 ft) worth of usable track. The acceleration phase of the Hublot-sponsored run took 350 m (1,148 ft), with the remainder of the track required for braking.

This should be done in a SNAP (oh wait, that’s “Food Stamps”).  We have been told, over and over, that PROGRESSIVE Govt (activist govt that runs everything and everybody for our own good) is best!  Run by all kinds of experts and technocrats that know how to make things run perfectly in perfectly non-partisan fashions.  Of COURSE, we software folks all know that it is ALWAYS the front end of a project that takes the 3.5 years to write (/sarcasm).  We were led to believe by Progressive Obama, Progressive Sebelius, and all of the Progressive underlings that Healthcare.gov “was almost all done – just tweaking now”!  Functional by Nov 30 by 80% of American citizens (even though the Experts promised an Oct. 1 complete date).

Sure it works (/more sarcasm) – but nobody can pay for the plan that they might be able to see as long as their personal data doesn’t get hijacked and the right subsidies are presented for the correct pricing (er, that still isn’t working either?).  But not to fear, PROGRESSIVES reason d’etre is government by Experts – in all areas.  Including, I guess, lying by commission (er, Obama and that whole “keeping” schtick) and lying by omission:

Henry Chao, the deputy chief information officer for Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, told a House subcommittee that the administration still needs to construct the payment systems and other “back office” functions, which constitute 60 to 70 percent of the system.

Anyone who was not up to their eye-balls in the Blue Kool Aid already knew this was true while it was happening.

The Census employee caught faking the results is Julius Buckmon, according to confidential Census documents obtained by The Post. Buckmon told me in an interview this past weekend that he was told to make up information by higher-ups at Census.

Census currently has six regions from which surveys are conducted. The New York and Philadelphia regions, I’m told, had been coming up short of the 90 percent.

Philadelphia filled the gap with fake interviews.

“It was a phone conversation — I forget the exact words — but it was, ‘Go ahead and fabricate it’ to make it what it was,” Buckmon told me.

Career bureaucrats making sure the “King” looks good and no one in the watchdog media, if ever they suspected a thing, was the least bit interested in it.

We have heard from all the special interests.  It’s unanimous, the organizations that would receive more of the money that hardworking Americans pay in taxes want Medicaid Expansion.  Is that a legitimate reason for Medicaid Expansion?  No.

If someone doesn’t have health insurance, is that a reason why taxpayers should have to pay for that person’s insurance?  No.  However, we find it reasonable to provide Medicaid for certain poor people who cannot provide for themselves: children, disabled, blind, pregnant women, and low income families.

One question is, what percent of the population should be considered “poor” enough to burden taxpayers?  5%?  (One in twenty)  10%? (One in ten)  33 1/3%? (One in three)

More than one out of every ten New Hampshire residents is already covered by Medicaid, paid for by their fellow citizens.  With Medicaid Expansion, about one of every seven NH residents would be covered…that would be very excessive.

A better question is, why add more people to Medicaid when Obamacare subsidizes low income people who buy their own insurance?  Private insurance is more widely accepted than Medicaid and patients get better medical results.

The best question is why are we talking about Medicaid Expansion when we should be talking about JOBS?

Medicaid Expansion – why are Republicans hellbent on participating in Obamacare’s Medicaid Expansion here in NH?  The Supreme Court deemed it unconstitutional for the Obama Administration to force it upon NH (and any other State).  Yet, we see NH Republicans pushing to enact it. For years, we have argued that Republicans should be following the Platform – it can’t get any plainer or clearer on this than this:

• Oppose the implementation of Obamacare in New Hampshire
• Increase the use of market forces to improve health care and lower costs
• Allow free market driven health care plans and “ala carte” insurance plans free from government mandates. Allow purchase of insurance plans across state lines

Simple: no part of Obamacare should the Republicans help.  Yet, what are they doing instead?  Yeah, arguing over the terms of appeasement – the Jr. Partners with the Democrats in expanding the Welfare State. I just can’t dream up words that could cover this over.  All I get is hostility and “stop attacking Republicans” – but when they act completely 180 to the Platform, they bring this upon themselves.  Well, activists and the Base have had it – now there is pushback.  I received this news:

Former Rep. Fred Leonard is trying to gather the names of 50 state committee members in order to call a meeting of the party to protest the Medicaid expansion bill.  I’ve signed on and am contacting every state committee member I know to do the same.

His email is fleonard@metrocast.net, his cell phone is 973-9158.

On WMUR’s CloseUp yesterday, Greg Moore of AFP/NH and Zandra Rice-Hawkins of Granite State Progress went tete-a-tete over the Medicaid Expansion here in NH.  I’ll be popping up some video about her attempting to make the equivalence that Obamacare is the same as the US Constitution (yes, she really did!) but she did make one claim that is an outright lie: that the American People WANT Obamacare.  Sure they do, Zandra – but only when your brain matter is drifting along in the Progressive Dystopia that you all are trying to foist upon our futures.

Since the time that Obamacare was written, legislated, and passed by a single Party (and that only after bribes were given, and all predicated on Obama and the Democrats lying to the American Public about its results), poll after poll after poll has shown a majority of Americans are against Obamacare.  Not even your best impersonation of King Canute can change it – and it is getting worse to boot.  Obamacare has caused LESS people to have healthcare insurance and not more:  First, Gallup is showing, more and more, the American People believe that it is NOT the responsibility of Government to ensure that people have healthcare coverage:

I know, this is a small ha-ha, right (reformatted, emphasis mine)?

Almost a week ago Executive Councilor Ray Burton died leaving what has become a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for others to seriously have a chance of winning his District 1 seat, covering half the state geographically.   On Tuesday, Gov. Maggie Hassan announced the candidate filing period will begin next week. She also announced that the primary election will be held on Jan. 21, and if necessary, a general election on March 11, which is town meeting day.

Predictions from insiders about this special election are all over the place: some believe there will be multiple candidates running from both parties, while others think there could be just one Republican and one Democrat. As candidates begin to line up, there is a big list of possible candidates. Some of them are privately playing out a run with friends and some are not, but could.

Go to the post for the Democrats Pindell is trying to put into play; for the Republicans?

Oh, this is gonna up the stock price of Bepto Bismol – and more than a few NH State Senate Republicans ought to start heading to the stores now – like Jeb Bradley, Chuck Morse, and Nancy Stiles.  All the best laid plans – upset by DC Republicans who actually think spending less is a good thing.  So, what will the reaction and the politics be of this?  Instability of “Federal Price Support” – is this threesome willing to have taxes rise on NH Citizens much sooner?  No kicking of the can three years downfield (heck, it could be THREE months downline – how’s that gonna play out?).  After all, it WAS supposed to be the Republican play to not help Obamacare along???  From National Journal (not exactly a conservative place) (emphasis mine, reformatting):

Republicans Push Plan to Renege on Medicaid Promise

During the nasty campaign for Virginia governor last month, House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan, R-Wis., tried to poke a hole in Democratic candidate Terry McAuliffe’s pledge to tap the full federal funding promised to states for expanding their Medicaid programs. “The notion that the federal government is going to keep matching Medicaid spending at this level is a notion that is just a faulty premise. It’s going to get cut,” Ryan said on a conference call with Republican gubernatorial candidate Ken Cuccinelli in late October.  Now Ryan’s right-hand man on the Budget Committee, Rep. Tom Price, and other House Republicans are pushing a plan that would ensure those federal dollars do not come through.

Price, a Georgia doctor, brought up the issue during a meeting of the budget conference committee on Wednesday, arguing that by forcing states to pay for at least a portion of their expanded Medicaid programs, Congress could mitigate some of the sequestration cuts—a key goal for Democrats on the committee.

After all, Democrats are famous for mandating spending – and then stiffing the States in the end.  Ask yourself, how well has NH done with Federal Special Ed Funding?  Get it started and then leave the States in a lurch like a cheap date.  Why am I getting that feeling again?  Oh yeah, listen to what some DC Republicans are proposing!

So what, who cares, big deal!

I hear this all the time from liberal Republicans and the run of the mill Democrat activist – oh and from NH election officials.

As long as someone only casts ONE vote, who cares where it is cast?

And now we have the 2013 Virginia Attorney General’s Office race in play.

Out of over 2 million votes cast, the difference is in the Democrat’s favor by 164 votes.

If Virginia had two million votes cast and the vote difference is only 164, where could some of those votes come from, New Hampshire maybe?

Democrats get all uppity whenever anyone shares a message that can be connected to anyone else with money.  If you happen to agree politically and that advances the interest of someone successful, or a particular segment of business or industry, you are their shill.  On the take.  In the pocket of some entity that is cheating people out of their money to line its own pockets and advance its own interests.

But their is no “business’ as big as government.  No business I know.
