I am sure you have now heard about the President's latest attempt to vastly increase the size and cost of government. Obama calls it health care reform - we know it is one giant leap toward government-run health care.
Do we want government-run health care? Do we want to wait in days-long lines for urgent care? Do we want the government telling us what treatments we can and cannot have? Do we want to enter a DMV-style government office just to take a number and sit there while we bleed we waiting for treatment?
These questions should be answered. I believe we know how most Americans would answer them.
However, ABC News is planning an all-day long bonanza of coverage on Obama's health care plan next Wednesday, June 24 in Washington and they refused to include opposition voices.
That's right; a national television news network has told Republicans and conservatives that "you are not invited." To date, they have shut us out.
We must demand fairness in media coverage of this critical issue.
When you sign the petition we are also going to give you the direct phone number to ABC's New York offices so you phone in your concerns, if you wish, as well.
Their planned coverage of Obama is exhaustive.
As the DAILY NEWS from New York City reported today, on Wednesday, ABC will air an interview with President Obama and the First Lady on "Good Morning America." It will also have Charles Gibson anchor "World News" from the White House and will air a prime-time, hour-long town-hall-type special with the President fielding questions on health care from Gibson, Diane Sawyer and a panel of guests.
ABC News officials have said the special will be balanced, with opinions and pointed questions from all sides on the issue.
However they have refused to allow conservative voices to be heard.
President Obama has been so gracious in opening the doors of the White House to ABC. Why? We believe because they refused to allow conservatives or Republicans on the air.
It has been reported that ABC News has out right rejected requests to allow conservatives to be part of the debate. In fact there will be no debate as he will only answer questions that have been supposedly screened only by the executives of ABC News.
In response to requests that conservatives be part of their coverage, ABC issued a letter in essence saying no and adding, "ABC NEWS alone will select those who will be in the audience asking questions of the President."
We need to demand inclusion of conservative viewpoints. This issue is too big to surrender to the far-left political forces within the White House.
When you sign the petition we are also going to give you the phone number to ABC's New York offices to directly voice your concerns, if you wish, as well.
Yesterday, in response to ABC's refusal to allow Obama opponents to speak, the Republican National Committee took the step of offering free television studio and satellite time to any Republican Member of Congress who wanted to send a message back home about their concerns over his plans. To their credit they are at least trying to get the word out.
So while ABC News is giving free time to Obama to promote government run health care, his opposition is required to beg local stations to give them equal time.
A democracy where the people only hear from one side is a democracy that will not survive.
This may not be Iran where radio stations and cell phone towers are being shut down to stop dissent - but it is now becoming a nation where nationwide news organizations are shutting out dissent by denying access to our airways.
We have one week to change this decision. We must speak up. We need your help.
When you sign the petition we are also going to give you the phone number to ABC's New York offices so you phone in your concerns, if you wish, as well.
Estimates are that Obama-Care, his health care program, will cost us taxpayers up to, if not over, $1 trillion in government funds.
Who is going to pay that $1 trillion?
The simple answer is you and me.
However, it hasn't happened yet and now is the time to make sure the American people understand the costs and the poor benefits of a government run health care system.
The American people deserve to hear all sides of the story.
When you sign the petition we are also going to give you the phone number to ABC's New York offices so you can call them if you wish, as well.
Please join ACU and support our efforts to ensure conservative voices are heard.
