Officials in several Republican states that balked at participating in President Obama’s health-care initiative are now revisiting the issue, amid mounting panic over a possible Supreme Court decision that would revoke federal insurance subsidies for millions of Americans.

The discussions taking place in state capitals around the country are part of a flurry of planning and lobbying by officials, insurance and hospital executives, and health-care advocates to blunt the possible impact of a court ruling.

The justices hear arguments about the matter next week. And if the court sides with the plaintiffs, who argue that subsidies are not allowed in the 34 states that opted against setting up their own insurance marketplaces, the ruling could spark an immediate crisis. People could see their insurance bills skyrocket or be forced to abruptly cancel their insurance.

Problem: Your right-wing brother-in-law is plugged into the FOX-Limbaugh lie machine, and keeps sending you emails about “Obama spending” and “Obama deficits” and how the “stimulus” just made things worse.

Solution: Here are three “reality-based” charts to send to him.

Government spending increased dramatically under President Bush. It has not increased much under President Obama. This is just a fact.

At Least 9,900 People Have Died From Guns In The U.S. Since The Newtown Shooting: Slate

On Dec. 14, 2012, 20-year-old Adam Lanza — armed with his mother’s guns — stormed into Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., and murdered 20 children and six adult members of staff. As the nation mourned in the wake of that unthinkable tragedy, many citizens and lawmakers raised their voices to demand stricter gun control laws, President Obama vowed to use his power to curb gun violence. “We’re not doing enough,” he said at a December vigil. “And we will have to change.” Tragically, change has been slow in coming.

According to Slate’s gun deaths tally project, at least 9,901 gun-related deaths in the United States have been reported by the media since the Newtown shooting.

This number, says Slate, is a gross underestimate of the actual number of deaths caused by guns in the last 10 months.

The Cartoon That Captures Everything That’s Wrong With The Government Shutdown

As the government shutdown reaches its ninth day, Americans have been left with news of one meeting after another as it seems the budget deadlock will never end.

Although last week’s reports of no end in sight were dismal, this week a bipartisan meeting between House Speaker John Boehner and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi may shine a glimmer of hope towards a resolution.

This news is hopefully a step in the right direction after a series of failed attempts at negotiation between Boehner and President Obama. But who is being more unreasonable out of the two?

Cartoonist Kevin Eason thinks that title belongs to Boehner as the house speaker has repeatedly displayed resistance toward meeting any kind of agreement. And the American people agree. Although most of the country is unhappy with lawmakers in both parties, Republicans have borne the brunt of the blame for the government shutdown, according to a recent poll.

President Obama cracks whip on cybercrime

Having run out of patience for Congress to act on a cybersecurity bill, President Obama has decided to take matters into his own hands.

Obama signed an executive order on Tuesday addressing the country’s most basic cybersecurity needs and highlighted the effort in his State of the Union address.

 “We cannot look back years from now and wonder why we did nothing in the face of real threats to our security and our economy,” Obama said.

On the Matter of Same Sex Marriage

Leave a comment

The e-mailer writes: Good Evening Family, Friends, and Christians Everywhere.

.

In an interview Yesterday, President Obama said “I think same sex couples should be able to get married.” That statement has people all over the Country talking.
We even had a brief discussion during our Bible study at church today where I was compelled to make a point. My comment was this: ” We all need to remember that the President took an oath of office to defend the Constitution. He did not take an oath to defend everything that is written in the Bible.”
Later, I elaborated a bit more: We–Christians, especially the Black Church–need to be careful about being sucked in by groups whose only motive is to defeat this President. Nor should we lose sight of our own needs simply because we disagree with the President on a single issue.

Christ never said everyone had to follow him–he gave us free will. Elected government officials whose job it is to serve everybody–Christians and non-Christians–are not likely to do everything by Biblical scripture. On the other hand, Christians look to and expect our church leaders to follow the teachings of the Bible. This is what separates the “Church” and “State.” It is mandatory that we help to spread the word that Individuals and groups who are no friend to Black people and other people of color will use us to take down the President; and at the same time would take us back 50 years if they ever got the chance.

Regardless of how you feel about same-sex marriage or homosexuality, just remember that someone will be elected President (your President) in November. The question is simple: Do you think you would be better off with Romney? One other thing, not voting is not the answer either. It would be a tragedy if President Obama did not get re-elected because Black “Christians” got sidetracked by the manipulations of other “so-called” christians with a totally different agenda.

I hope that you will use every opportunity to pass this kind of message on to your friends and family.
