Miracle Babies: Triplets Saved by Operation While They Were Still in the Womb

Dear Robert, Last November, the American people spoke loudly. They rose up and gave Republicans the largest majority in decades in Congress. Now, with control of both chambers in the Capitol, we have both a mandate and an obligation to lead. And we owe it to the people to do just that. Whether your priority is tax reform, regulatory reform, repealing Obamacare, stopping amnesty, protecting the rule of law, defending free speech and religious liberty, protecting innocent life, defending our Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms, protecting our Fourth and Fifth Amendment rights to privacy, or restoring our Constitution, we need your help once more. We must come out of the gates in 2015 with a bold, positive, optimistic agenda to turn this country around, and we need your help to do it. We're looking for 1,000 Americans who want a new direction for America to stand with us one last time in 2014 with a contribution today. I hope you'll join us. Your contribution before midnight will help hold politicians feet to the fire and ensure we do what you sent us to Washington to do. Because of you, we took back the Senate. Because of you, we retired Harry Reid as Majority Leader. And because of you, we will bring back jobs, growth, and opportunity to America once again. So, Robert, whether it’s $5, $50, or even $500, will you stand with us one last time in 2014 to help bring back morning in America? For Liberty, Ted Cruz P.S. With new leadership in Washington, we must stand together and make DC listen to the American people. Can we count on your support today?   Paid for by the Ted Cruz Victory Committee, a joint fundraising committee authorized by and composed of Ted Cruz for Senate and the Jobs, Growth, and Freedom Fund. www.tedcruz.org 815 A Brazos, PMB 550, Austin, TX 78701 | (512) 637-8777

Governor McAuliffe continues to ignore us

Bill Stanley for Senate View this email in your browser Fellow Virginians,   Governor McAuliffe continues to ignore us.   He is focusing his 2015 budget on Medicaid expansion under Obamacare. I still believe that Medicaid expansion is not the answer because we cannot afford it and it does not guarantee quality healthcare for those who have it. Virginia's existing Medicaid costs are 21% of the state budget (or over $18 billion every two years) and Medicaid grows at 8% per year (more than $1 billion every three years), before any Medicaid expansion under Obamacare is added in.   In order to meet the current budget and pay for the additional Medicaid expansion, Virginia must either take the money from our children's education and our public safety, and / or increase taxes by up to an additional $1 billion each year.   Virginia cannot afford Medicaid expansion under Governor McAuliffe's support for Obamacare.  We need Virginia solutions!   That is why I am asking for your help!   Doctors and hospitals are also being paid less under Medicaid reimbursements, they are forced to churn more patients through their system just so they don't lose money. That means patients are less likely to receive quality healthcare, even though they have health insurance, and that will affect all of a doctors' patients, regardless of their insurance. That is unreasonable.   That is why I have proposed options for the citizenry to consider. These legislative proposals have received bi-partisan support and seek to increase the efficiency of the delivery of quality healthcare for all of Virginia's citizens at a lower cost than Medicaid expansion.   The Governor, along with President Obama, seems to think that simply having a health insurance coverage card equates to receiving quality healthcare.  IT DOES NOT!   Will you help me continue to stand up to McAuliffe and his Washington allies and contribute $10, $25 before December 31st?     Having a Medicaid card does not guarantee quality healthcare. In fact, due to the increased burden Medicaid expansion will put on our healthcare system by forcing doctors to hurry patients through their examining rooms just so they can break even on Medicaid reimbursements, it is likely the quality of healthcare for all of us will diminish. The Governor also seems to be oblivious to the costs of Medicaid expansion.  We will be faced with a significant challenge paying for Medicaid in the next few years without Medicaid expansion; paying for Governor McAuliffe's Medicaid expansion under Obamacare will either 1) hurt other programs, like our children's education and fire and rescue personnel and programs, or 2) increase our taxes to unbearable levels.   We need Virginia solutions, not more of Obama and McAuliffe's policies.    Please consider contributing today $10, or $25 today   Warmest Regards,                                                    Facebook Twitter Website Contribute Copyright ©  All rights reserved.

What if there were no Tea Party?

Have Conservatives lost? Not if we have anything to say about it! Imagine, for just a minute, if there were no Tea Party. What if conservatives were completely defeated? What if people like Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and Elizabeth Warren were the only choices Americans were given during elections. If liberals had their way, that is exactly what would happen. There would be no more real elections. There would be no more real Americans. Our only choice would be the choices of the old Soviet Union. You can vote, but the only pool of people you can choose from are all communists. When Republicans run from their own base on Amnesty and Obamacare, that is exactly where we as a nation are headed. The only thing holding them back from being just another arm of the Democrat party is the Tea Party and groups like Tea Party Nation. You are instrumental in holding their feet to the fire. When corporate lobbyists try to ram through laws that benefit their bottom line at the expense of real Americans, it is the Tea Party who sounds the alarm. But what if there were no Tea Party?  It's a scary thought isn't it? Tea Party Nation is an independent voice. There are no big corporate donors or high-powered lobbyists telling us what to say. We are the voice of real Americans. We don't take big checks from CEO's or corporations or people like George Soros. We are solely funded by small contributions from our members. With just hours left before 2015, we are still short of our fundraising goals for the year. If you can't imagine a world without Tea Party Nation — if you love what Tea Party Nation stands for — please chip in to help keep us strong and fighting into the new year for real Americans. Thanks for all you do to keep this country strong and free. You are the hope of future generations. You are Tea Party Nation.
