"I have lived, sirs, a long time, and the longer I've lived, the more convincing proofs I have seen of this truth-that God governs in the affairs of men.  And if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without His notice, is it probable that an empire can rise without His aid?  We have been assured, sirs, in the Sacred Writings, that 'except the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that build it.'"
81 year old Benjamin Franklin at the Contitutional Convention.

An Opportunity for the Ohio House of Representatives to Dismantle ObamaCare      

 

On November 8, 2012 Ohio voters overwhelmingly approved a state constitutional amendment disapproving the ObamaCare federal mandate that will require most Americans to buy health insurance by 2014 or face fines. The Ohio referendum called Issue 3 won with a whopping 66% of the vote. In fact, Issue 3 passed in all 88 Ohio counties. Voters left no doubt what we think of ObamaCare.

HB 91 Health Care Freedom Act provides an opportunity for the Ohio House of Representatives Health & Aging Committee to dismantle ObamaCare in Ohio by passing the bill. Passage of the bill which would recognize the will of the majority of Ohio voters cannot happen until the bill moves out of the Health & Aging Committee and is put up for a vote. The Health & Aging Committee is made up of nineteen Members.

 

Twelve of the nineteen members are Republican Majority house members. Continuing to stall the bill in committee is a repudiation of the overwhelming will of Ohio voters.

 

Below is the contact information for the Republicans on the committee who can move the bill forward. Please call and email* each of their offices and ask them to move the bill out of committee and to a vote. Representative Ron Young, the sponsor of the bill, is of the opinion that bringing the bill to a vote now will result in the dismantling of ObamaCare in Ohio. 

*See next box for details

 

It is IMPERATIVE that you call or email these representatives.  YOU have the power to stop the implementation of ObamaCare in Ohio.

Please Committe to call these Represenatives... they need to hear from the grass roots and not just from the health care executives who stand to gain huge finacial windfalls.

Why Are Republicans Caving on Medicaid Expansion ... AGAIN!

May 31st 2013

 

Cleveland Right to Life has taken a strong stand against the expansion of the broken-on-arrival Medicaid Expansion plan by Gov. Kasich. Thanks to thousands of calls to our representatives we were able to defeat the first round of "keep the health care executives happy" legislation.  Now we learn from the Ohio Liberty Council that yet another attempt to ram this failed system through is in the works and we need you to pick up the phone, or hit the key boards, just as you did before, to stop this maneuver in its tracks!  Your children and grandchildren MUST NOT BE SADDLED with this shattering legacy!  Please act now and remind OUR representatives that they work for us and not for Gov. Kasich and the health care industry. 

 

The overwhelming majority of those who identify with the pro-life cause do not support ObamaCare and Medicaid expansion because this type of legislation will ultimately lead to an increase in anti-life actions such as abortion and euthanasia. Cleveland Right to Life has been working with several Right to Life and profamily organizatios around the state as well as recognized citizen leaders, who will be sending out or have already sent alerts to their members to encourage the passage of HB 91 such as Cincinnati Right to Life, North East Ohio Value Voters, Lake County Right to Life and Denver Sallee to name but a few!  

 

Please contact every State Representative and ask that they bring an end to this maneuvering.  Click here and scroll down to find a list of Majority State Representatives.
