You probably know someone who needs to hear about this

| Hi, Maybe you know this story because it's yours, too. Seven years ago when I got my start in grassroots organizing, I quickly learned how to talk about why this work is so important -- and I went right out and started having conversations. That's still at the heart of what I do every day: talk to people, tell them why this movement is so important to me, and why I'm involved. What helped hook me was that getting started was so simple -- the resources were right there for me. The final push for health care enrollment couldn't be more important. You couldn't find a more meaningful way to make a difference in your community. Say you'll do your part in this all-hands-on-deck push -- and we'll make sure you have the resources you need to get started in talking to friends and family members about getting covered. As organizers, we have a lot to be proud of. Health care reform, and the millions of Americans who can get the peace of mind that comes with being covered, is something that wouldn't have happened without people like us. But this work isn't over. There are still millions of people who need to get covered -- and I bet there are a few people you know and care about. Add your name to say you'll help out -- there's just one week left: http://my.barackobama.com/Do-Your-Part-Today-For-Obamacare Thanks, Jennifer Jennifer Warner National Organizing Director Organizing for Action | |

RLC Rescinds Endorsement of Rep Bruce Poliquin of Maine

| Dear , The National Board of the Republican Liberty Caucus (RLC) voted Thursday to rescind its endorsement of Representative Bruce Poliquin, R-Maine 2nd CD, after he voted against the repeal of Obamacare. Poliquin was one of only three Republicans to vote against the repeal because, he claimed, "more than 60,000 Mainers have invested their time and energy in choosing health care plans that work for their families." Poliquin said he would only vote to repeal Obamacare if Republicans had a replacement bill ready to vote on at the same time. "We were both stunned and disappointed by Rep. Poliquin's vote," said Matt Nye, National Chair of the Republican Liberty Caucus. "Obamacare is an abomination that is steadily destroying the best health care system in the world every day it is in existence, and it will ultimately result in a complete government takeover of health care and a lower standard of care for all Americans. While it is true that health care in the United States had issues prior to Obamacare, Americans were definitely better off before Obamacare was passed." Nye said RLC took its position because, "For our organization it is a litmus test issue, and there is simply no excuse for a 'No' vote to repeal it." Nye said Poliquin's justification about replacing Obamacare with a free market alternative, which included a statement that "if Congress fully repeals Obamacare it just be fully prepared to replace it with a free market alternative" fell on deaf ears with the RLC Board. "The notion that the free market requires Congress to pass a bill in order for it to function is absurd on its face," Nye said. "Free market economics does not need the hand of government to give its imprimatur to what is acceptable and what it not. Consumers should be free to make their own personal choices and providers should supply plans which the market can accept. If they cannot, consumers will vote with their purchasing decisions without government collusion." "Poliquin's reasoning is analogous to cutting off your arm at work and saying you're not going to stanch the bleeding until you've worked out a new safety policy with management," said Nye. The Republican Liberty Caucus Board took its position against Poliquin because he applied voluntarily to seek the RLC endorsement and signed The Liberty Compact which reads, "I pledge to the citizens of this state, and to the American people, that as their elected representative I will work to: restore liberty, not restrict it; shrink government, not expand it; reduce taxes, not raise them; abolish programs, not create them; promote the freedom and independence of citizens, not the interference of government in their lives; and observe the limited, enumerated powers of the Constitution, not ignore them." Nye said Poliquin either does not believe in what he signed or he was duplicitous in asking for the RLC endorsement by claiming to be what he is not. "Either way, we can no longer stand by him nor include him in our honorable list of endorsed elected officials which includes Rand Paul, Ted Cruz, Mike Lee, Justin Amash and many others who still stand on principle in their votes," Nye said. In liberty, About the Republican Liberty Caucus The Republican Liberty Caucus is a 527 voluntary grassroots membership organization dedicated to working within the Republican Party to advance the principles of individual rights, limited government and free markets. Founded in 1991, it is the oldest continuously-operating organization within the Liberty Republican movement. |

All hands on deck - we need you
| |
| Hey -- quick question: If you don't make sure your friends and family get coverage before the February 15th deadline, who will? We need all hands on deck for the last week of enrollment -- say you'll do your part to spread the word before the deadline. It doesn't take a lot to make a difference. Just taking a minute or two to pass along some helpful tips and tools to someone you know who needs to get covered will go a long way. You don't get the chance every day to actually make a direct difference in someone's life, so you should get in on this. When you say you'll be part of this, we'll pass along some easy ways for you to do your part. Can we count on you? http://my.barackobama.com/Do-Your-Part-Today-For-Obamacare Thanks, Abby Abby Witt Managing Director Organizing for Action | |
