The Obama administration is pulling out all the stops in its continuing campaign on health care reform. Legions of well-paid staff both local and national (positions were posted on Craig’s List weeks ago) and volunteers are working constantly to reverse public opinion on this issue, and the White House isn’t giving up. To paraphrase a recent, unbelievable, comment by Obama, “There’s nothing that can stop us” from transforming the American system. Or did he say, “stop me?”

Anyway, last time I checked, despite being called “racist haters,” (the first tactic leftists used to stifle any opposition to the proposed legislation) Americans were against this reform and the Democrat’s efforts to re-shape our lives by taking over our health care and socializing our entire medical system. Fifty-six percent of us don’t want Big Gov-ernment in our private medical business, especially if we’re going to be taxed more or forced to give up the insurance we’re satisfied with. We don’t want rationing of care, or the cutting of Medicare. And we don’t want our parents to lose the Medicare Advantage they’re so pleased with, all possibilities under the Obama proposals, of which there are at least two atrocities I’ve read up on.

Under the Baucus plan, we could even go to prison if we don’t participate in the plan or pay the huge fine levied on us by the government for not opting in.

What person in their right mind, armed with the facts, could support this?

As a card-carrying member of Organizing for America (formerly named Organizing for Obama), I receive e-mails almost every day with some action urged on this issue. They make it sound so tempting, I’ve caught myself formulating letters to my own editor as I go about my daily activities. Today, at the behest of a California doctor, Alice Chen, who sent me an e-mail titled “Doctor’s Note,” I finally tried the OFA online “tool,” submitting my “own personal health care story” with just three clicks of my mouse. What could be easier? MDJ editorial page Editor Joe Kirby will probably wonder why I’m writing him.

I must admit, OFA’s campaign, which awaits me each time I open my mailbox, is quite effective. With a message that is well organized and urgent, they are using the same tactics they used to elect their Chosen One.

They urge us to go public with our health care horror stories. Surely we all have at least one. But how does that justify a complete government takeover of our system? It doesn’t, yet OFA is counting on Americans to fall for their bad plan, which will bankrupt the country.

Meanwhile, Republicans have proposed H.B. 3400, which puts forth ideas to reform certain parts of American health care without the takeover. Unfortunately, their campaign is virtually without a voice, a plan or an organiza-tion.

I just don’t see how they can catch up to Organizing for Obama/America on this issue. What do you think?
