The following from: Atlas Shrugs

Obama Behind Beck Boycott

A mafia presidency - that's we have here, my friends.

Yesterday I advised Atlas readers and their many friends and family members to boycott GEICO because they caved to the leftpaths' call for an advertiser boycott and pulled their ads from Glenn Beck's show. Go here: Boycott GEICO

Apparently, Obama's Commie terrorist "Green" czar is behind it: Obama's "Green" Czar: Underground Terrorist and Communist

BREAKING: Obama Official Linked to Racially Charged Boycott of Glenn Beck Human Events

A racially charged activist group called “Color of Change” founded by Van Jones, a special advisor to the Obama Administration, is trying to silence popular radio and Fox News personality Glenn Beck by calling for a boycott of Beck’s TV advertisers.

On July 28th, Beck made a comment on the Fox & Friends morning show about Obama’s reaction to the arrest of Dr. Henry Louis Gates Jr. During the discussion of “Professor-Gate,” Beck connected the President’s past association with Rev. Jeremiah Wright to Obama’s comment that Cambridge police officer, Sgt. James Crowley, acted stupidly. Though Beck acknowledged most of the Obama administration is in fact white, he concluded that the President’s world experience made him a “racist.”

Now “Color of Change” has bullied at least five of Beck’s big advertisers -- SC Johnson, Progressive Insurance, Geico, Procter & Gamble and Nexus Lexis -- to pull their ads from Beck’s national cable program. Jones, the founder of “Color of Change,” was named Special Advisor for Green Jobs at the White House Council on Environmental Quality -- a key administrative post -- this past March.

But but but it was Obama who made the racist remark about Crowley. So let's boycott BHO and all of his legislation.

Seriously, folks, put your money where your mouth is. The left may have the media mouthpiece, but we have the masses. Do not forget that.

There's more...!

The Wimps at GEICO respond: BOYCOTT GEICO

Atlas reader Richard wrote to GEICO about their pulling their ads from the Glenn Beck show. Their pathetic excuse, "little benefit to us if a program gets so much attention that our message is drowned out". They will advertise on vile TV shows and such but real news offends them. Their unpatriotic stand against free speech shoudl offend YOU, please your business today.

Here is their cop out.

In reference to your inquiry about our advertising, we recently took action to move our marketing messages from the Glenn Beck show.

If the inflammatory nature of the comments on a program overshadows our message and causes GEICO to be drawn into a national debate, we are likely to reconsider where we place our marketing messages, which is what we did.

GEICO delivers very important messages through its major marketing campaigns: we’re saving customers’ dollars, we’re easy to do business with, we’re looking out for our policyholders. That’s what we hope the public hears and sees and focuses on.

As a company, we do not take positions on controversial issues.

As an advertiser, while a national debate on issues can be healthy and appropriate, we don’t see ourselves in the role of taking part in those debates. /span>

Our business is auto insurance. We want to bring people value and we attempt to reach large audiences with that message.

It is of little benefit to us if a program gets so much attention that our message is drowned out.

Sincerely,

Jason Garrett

Subject: Teenage Convert to Christianity Fears for Her Life

IS THIS WHAT WE CAN EXPECT UNDER OBAMA

Teenage Convert to Christianity Fears for Her Life

You may have heard the story of Rifqa Bary, the 17 year-old girl who fled her Muslim home in Ohio out of fear that her father would kill her for becoming a Christian.

ABC’s “Good Morning America” covered the story this morning. To view the two minute segment please click here.

Rifqa is now in the custody of Florida state authorities who are investigating the allegation. Not surprisingly, the father denies that he wants to kill his daughter. Is he telling the truth? Or is he practicing “taqiyya,” the Islamic doctrine of deception? How will state authorities know for sure?

The pastor who Rifqa sought out is convinced Rifqa is telling the truth. So is the attorney who is representing Rifqa. Rifqa is clearly very, very frightened.

Over the past two years we have seen at least three different “honor killings” perpetrated in either Canada or the United States. The most recent was this past February, when the founder of a Muslim outreach television network beheaded his wife, who was seeking a divorce from him.

Violence against women and against those who convert from Islam is not uncommon in most Muslim countries. For instance, in 2008 the Iranian Parliament voted overwhelmingly to institute the death penalty against those who convert from Islam.

According to a 1999 Amnesty International report, as many as 90% of Pakistani women are subjected to violent treatment by men.

This is the fruit of Islamic shariah law, in which women are treated as the property of men and “apostates” from the faith can be put to death.

And this “fruit” is becoming more and more commonplace in America. Unfortunately Rifqa’s story will likely not be the last.

What is REALLY in the Current Healthcare Bill

Friends,

As you know, President Obama has been pushing his "Universal healthcare" plan. There have been a lot of people saying many different things about this new healthcare plan. Therefore, I felt the need to do what our congressmen and women have not done and read all of the healthcare plans out there. Let me tell you, as you can imagine, it was not easy reading. I wanted to be able to give you the ammunition (facts) to reply to those that want to know why we oppose the plan.

First, let me state that I do believe that we need to make sure that every LEGAL American citizen has access to the best healthcare system in the world and that it is affordable for everyone. Let me also state that, after reading the bills that are being considered, if the healthcare plan was a good plan, I would let you know that. That being said, the proposals set forth in the house and in the senate are very bad for America for the following reasons:

We simply can not afford it. The Congressional Budget Office states that even with higher taxes on high income earners and penalties on employers who don't provide coverage, the plan will fall $239 billion short of covering its' cost of over $1 trillion. That is their best case scenario without the bill being completely scored.
It will not cover everyone. The Congressional Budget Office estimates that over 17 million people would remain uninsured AFTER this plan is implemented.
You will not be able to shop for or obtain private insurance if you do not have private insurance prior to the bill being passed. This is somewhat clearly stated on pgs. 16 and 17 in section 102(a)(1)(A).
After a 5 year grace period, all private insurers that are still in business will be required to offer a "qualified health benefits" plan based on government standards. The problem is whether or not the "government standards" will exclude private insurers. This on page 17, section 102(b)(1)(A).
No new policies will be allowed to be written by a private insurer after the public option becomes law. Also page 17.
Every five years, the elderly will have to attend a mandatory "advanced care planning consultation" for an "explanation by the practitioner of the continuum of end of life services." The consultation will be conducted more frequently if a significant change in health condition.including diagnosis of a chronic, progressive, life limiting disease, terminal diagnosis, life threatening injury or upon admission to a skilled nursing or long term care facility. In other words, if you are old, you will be consulted about what your options will be if you get sick, if healthcare would not be an option (see #7). This starts on page 425.
Page 501 of the bill starts a section that indicates that $1 billion will be spent on "comparative effectiveness research" which is how the government evaluates relative merits of various treatments. In other words, rationing. This is tantamount to the government determining whether or not you are worth getting a particular treatment depending on your prognosis or age.
This plan would allow for government funded abortions. Since this bill would cover all procedures, abortion is included. There is no exception for abortion.
Members of congress and unions would be exempt from this plan and not have to be a part of the healthcare plan. Recently, John Fleming, introduced H.R. 615 that stated that members that vote in favor of a government run healthcare must enroll under the public option. No democrat would sign on. If it is not good enough for congress, it is not good enough for us! This is section 3116.
$500 billion will be cut from senior healthcare to help pay for this bill. This will weaken Medicare, an organization already in trouble due to insufficient funds.
Hospitals and private healthcare facilities will not be able to collect money from the government plan unless they are "public" facilities.
Businesses will be fined over 8% of an employee's salary if they do not provide healthcare insurance for their employees.
Individuals that do not have health insurance will be fined an amount that will encourage them to purchase the government plan.
All "people", legal or not, will be covered under this plan and identification cards will be issued. These identification cards will not be based on social security numbers.

These are some of the proven reasons why I could never support a bill like this. These are irrefutable facts, things that our present government does not want our citizens to be aware of, which is why they are trying to pass this bill as quickly as possible. The more we find out about the bill, the worse it gets. As I stated above, we need to reform our healthcare system, but this is not the way. In this case, doing nothing is better than passing this bill. It will hurt seniors, businesses and families.

Congressman Wexler is one of the biggest supporters of this bill as well as, even worse, HR 676. Why should he care about our businesses, our seniors or our children in District 19 and Florida, he doesn't even live here. Please consider helping us defeat this bill and Robert Wexler by contributing to our campaign. It is only through your support and encouragement that we will be able to elect officials who will do what is best for us, finally.

Yours in service,

Edward
