Peter Ferrara: New Study: Obama Health Plan: Rationing, Higher Taxes, and Lower Quality Care

By |2009-08-07T13:53:46-04:00August 7th, 2009|

Posted this morning at Heartland.org is my new comprehensive study: The Obama Health Plan: Rationing, Higher Taxes, and Lower Quality Care. The study explains in full detail, based on the pending Congressional legislation, exactly how the Obama Health Plan would impose government rationing that will deny you health care, severely restrict your freedom of choice and control over your health care, raise, not lower, health costs, impose sharp tax increases that would leave America uncompetitive in the world economy, and increase federal spending, deficits and debt.

Peter Ferrara: The Great Socialist Takeover

By |2009-08-05T22:34:23-04:00August 5th, 2009|

Forthcoming this week from the Heartland Institute will be my comprehensive study on the Obama/Democrat government takeover of health care. That study presents my thorough analysis of the health care overhaul bills supported by President Obama now working their way through Congress.

Free Enterprise Fund v. Public Company Accounting Oversight Board

By |2009-08-03T22:31:28-04:00August 3rd, 2009|

Congress created the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) to enforce the Sarbanes Oxley law. But Congress provided for the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), not the President, to appoint the members of the PCAOB. The President also has no powers of oversight or removal regarding the board members. Yet the PCAOB has the power to establish standards of criminal misconduct, and to decide on their prosecution and punishment. It also has the power to impose taxes on publicly traded companies, and to set its own budget, again independent of the President.

The Free Enterprise Fund brought suit challenging the constitutionality of this arrangement, arguing that […]

Citizens United v. FEC

By |2009-08-02T09:56:34-04:00August 2nd, 2009|

The American Civil Rights Union filed an amicus curiae brief on July 31 with the United States Supreme Court in the case of Citizens United v. Federal Elections Commission, urging the Court to overrule Austin v. Michigan Chamber of Commerce, and the relevant portions of McConnell v. FEC, which upheld the McCain-Feingold campaign finance law. Citizens United involves a feature length, documentary film produced in 2007 by Citizens United, an ideological conservative non-profit, named Hillary: The Movie. Because the movie was about a candidate for President, the Federal Elections Commission ruled that it was subject to federal campaign finance laws. Consequently, the movie was […]

ACLU Supports ACORN, Voter Fraud

By |2009-07-27T13:07:47-04:00July 27th, 2009|

The ACLU has filed suit in Pennsylvania in defense of ACORN for a declaration that a law there is unconstitutional for preventing the kind of voter fraud which is a hallmark of ACORN efforts nationally. In short, the ACLU claims that ACORN has a constitutional right to engage in its chosen form of voter fraud.

Some of the facts for this article, but not the legal conclusions, come from a press release by the ACLU itself. The release concerns the filing of a case by the ACLU in Pennsylvania to defend one aspect of ACORNs frequently fraudulent efforts to register non-existent people, aliens, and real people […]

Ken Blackwell: Obama's "Government Option"–Alligator or Anaconda?

By |2009-07-26T17:17:15-04:00July 26th, 2009|

A key element of President Obama's plan for a government takeover of health care is to create what he calls "the government option." He wants his government option to compete with private insurers. Congressman Mike Pence (R-Ind.) says that this government option will compete with private insurers the way an alligator "competes" with ducks. It's a pretty safe bet that the ducks always lose.

Ken Klukowski: President Blames Doctors for Health Care Costs

By |2009-07-26T16:58:45-04:00July 26th, 2009|

There were too many falsehoods in President Obama's healthcare press conference to cram into one column. But three of them show just how far this president is willing to ignore the truth to push his political agenda. And people are starting to catch on.

CBS Helps the ACLU Lie about American War Efforts

By |2009-07-21T15:18:44-04:00July 21st, 2009|

CBS News has assisted the ACLU in lying about a Bush Administration program to intercept in international spaces, phone calls to and from terrorist-associated phone numbers captured on the battlefields of Iraq and Afghanistan. This particular set of lies focuses on John Yoo, now Professor of Law, formerly an Administration legal advisor.

Most of the facts for this article, but none of the legal conclusions, come from an article published in the Opinion section of CBS’ website on 21 July about an ACLU lawsuit concerning John Yoo, formerly a legal advisor to the Bush Administration, now a Professor of Law.

The opinion article is written […]

Ken Blackwell and Ken Klukowski: Sotomayor, Civil Rights, and Guns

By |2020-04-23T21:54:07-04:00July 15th, 2009|

Over the next two weeks, one of the critical issues will be your civil rights on guns. Senators could benefit from context to understand the importance of this civil right to protect families, especially racial minorities. Given Judge Sotomayor's long record, her confirmation must be more than "transparent," it must be penetrating and the Senators must dig deep.

Another ACLU Effort to Protect Alien Workers in the US

By |2009-07-14T11:24:59-04:00July 14th, 2009|

In the name of protecting the jobs of American workers, the ACLU and its allies are attacking the E-Verify system that was set up to keep American jobs for Americans. E-Verify was created at Social Security so any prospective employer can find out immediately if any employee has legitimate Social Security records. Some of the allies going down the primrose path with the ACLU are eye-opening.

Most of the facts for this article, but not the legal conclusions, come from an article published on the website of CivilRights.org on 13 July. The article is another attack on E-Verify, the process set up by Social Security to […]
