Don’t Allow the Dead to Harm the Living
Washington, DC – -(AmmoLand.com)- After four decades as a U.S. Senator, rabid anti-gun Ted Kennedy is dead.
In his time in the Senate, he sponsored or pushed to make law virtually every piece of anti-gun legislation introduced.
In fact, the current Kennedy/Obama government take over of health care initiative has become a back door for gun control and gun confiscation.
I will explain that in a moment using a lot of information from my my friend and mentor Larry Pratt of Gun Owners of America.
But the fact is that Ted Kennedy has not even been buried yet and anti-gun zealots are already seizing upon his death and demanding that the anti-gun Kennedy Health Care Rationing Bill be passed to “honor Ted Kennedy.”
I expect a major push as soon as Congress re-convenes in September.
That’s why I need you to contact your senators below and send a message that Ted Kennedy’s efforts to harm our 2nd Amendment rights not continue after his death.
Ted Kennedy unashamedly fought for what he believed in without compromise.
That is the ONLY thing I admired about Ted Kennedy.
We ought to learn from our political enemies.
RIGHT now you and I need to stand up and fight for our ideals by honoring the men and women who sacrificed their lives, fortunes and sacred honor to give us the 2nd Amendment.
So please contact your lawmakers at the links below and urge them NOT TO ALLOW THE DEAD TO HARM THE LIVING.
Don’t allow President Obama to reinvigorate his plan to control and ration health care by the passing the anti-gun Kennedy Health Care Bill. It is a 10,000 page bill that very few have even read.
Those of us who have realize what Kennedy wanted to foist upon America — it is deceptive and dangerous.
IT WILL DESTROY OUR GUN RIGHTS!
You see, at the center of the plan is what’s called a “universal mandate.” What this means is that you — and virtually everyone in the country — will have to buy as much health insurance as the government demands, and that insurance plan will actually have to be approved by the government.
If you work for a small business, the business will buy the insurance on your behalf. But you may be saddled with an enormous part of the cost. And, if the employer’s contribution is too large, you will be fired.
If you fail to buy health care insurance, as the government orders you to do, the IRS will fine you, garnish your wages, put a lien on your house, and, ultimately, put you in prison.
How much will you have to spend on your insurance? Mr. Obama is not saying.
The portion of your paycheck that will have to be forked over to Obama’s dangerous social experiment will be revealed ONLY AFTER THE MASSIVE HEALTH CARE BILL IS SIGNED INTO LAW.
This should set off alarm bells in your brain, because, for instance, the average family policy is currently $12,700.
If you’re a welfare mother, the government will pay for your rationed health care, and it would pay for it — the first time — by taxing employer-provided health benefits of working Americans. But if you a “working Joe” your subsidy will be a microscopic fraction of the cost of your mandated insurance policy.
Okay, all of this sounds ominous… but why is this a gun issue?
The answer is that government rationed health care will allow radical left Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius to determine all of the fine print in every policy — which you will be required to buy under penalty of imprisonment.
Currently, as a result of the stimulus bill and a whole lot of other factors, the government is rapidly moving in the direction of computerizing all of your most confidential medical records and putting them into a federal database.
So remember when your son was asked by his pediatrician about your gun collection? That would be in the federal database.
Or remember when your wife told her gynecologist that she had regularly smoked marijuana ten years ago — thereby potentially barring both her and you from ever owning a gun again? That would be in the database.
Or if a military veteran complains to his psychiatrist that he’s had emotional stress since coming back to the States, that would be in the database.
Or remember when gramps was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, thereby making him a “mental defective” who would have to relinquish his life-long gun collection? That’s in there too.
And, while we are dangerously close to allowing BATFE to troll all of that information, the Kennedy Heath Care Rationing bill would allow Sebelius to put EVERYONE’S private data in a database with a stroke of a pen.
When we say “everyone,” we don’t mean quite everyone.
Mr. Obama’s and Mr. Kennedy’s left wing radicals who wrote the bill conveniently excluded Washington bureaucrats from this new mandate.
Also, Obama and his friends in the media don’t want you to hear about the details until after the bill is passed. That’s why they tried to slam it through before anyone had a chance to read or debate it.
But the American people did not buy it and have stood up and said “NO”. That is why it is so critical that we don’t allow the death of Ted Kennedy to become an excuse to honor him in death with the passing of bill that was dangerous while he lived.
ACTION: Urge your two U.S. Senators to oppose Sen. Ted Kennedy’s mandate that will result in the registration of all your gun information.

Dear Senator:
Please don’t honor Teddy Kennedy by supporting his dangerous anti-gun health care rationing bill.
Please don’t allow the dead to harm the living.
At the center of the plan to ration health care is what’s called a “universal mandate.” What this means is that I — and virtually everyone in the country — will have to buy as much health insurance as the government demands, and that insurance plan will actually have to be approved by the government.
But this is not only an issue of individual freedom; it is a gun issue.
This is because the plan will allow radical left Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius to determine all of the fine print in every health care policy — which Americans will be required to buy under penalty of imprisonment.
Currently, as a result of the stimulus bill and a whole lot of other factors, the government is rapidly moving in the direction of computerizing all of our most confidential medical records and putting them into a federal database.
So if a kid is asked by his pediatrician about his dad’s gun collection, that would be in the federal database.
Or if a wife told her gynecologist that she had regularly smoked marijuana ten years ago — thereby potentially barring both her and her husband from ever owning a gun again, that would be in the database.
Or if a military veteran complains to his psychiatrist that he’s had emotional stress since coming back from Iraq or Afghanistan, that would be in the database.
Or when gramps was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, thereby making him a “mental defective” who would have to relinquish his life-long gun collection, that would be in there too.
And, while we are dangerously close to allowing BATFE to troll all of that information, Mr. Kennedy’s Health Care Rationing bill would allow Sebelius to put EVERYONE’S private data in a database with a stroke of a pen.
You cannot imagine how angry I, my family, and my neighbors are about this most recent fraud scheme to cheat me out of perhaps over $10,000 for government rationed health care — and to violate my privacy in the process.
I insist that you oppose a government take over of health care in any form. We need reform but we don’t need the government providing it. Just look at the government health care for our veterans or on Indian Reservations.
Please don’t honor Ted Kennedy by supporting the government take over of my health care and gun rights. Honor him by fighting for my rights the same way he fought for his misguided ideals.
Sincerely,
YOUR NAME HERE
