Recruiting - June 2010
by James F. Fitzgerald, Director of Field Activities
Last month, we reviewed some of the serious problems inherent in the recently passed healthcare bill. What is not evident in this huge piece of legislation are some of the details such as the various regulatory bodies it calls for. Over 150 regulatory agencies will be drafting standards that will filter down to homes, schools and businesses. This bill will affect the lives of all Americans.
Many will remember when OSHA was created by Congress. It was sold as an agency that would enact safety standards to protect workers and improve conditions in the workplace. But it imposes nightmarish regulations that are virtually impossible to understand, let alone implement. Where OSHA was primarily aimed at the workplace, ObamaCare will impact all Americans, even in their homes. Does anyone really think this healthcare measure is really about improving the health of Americans? It is really a people-control mechanism in the guise of a healthcare measure.
JBS members have a dual roll in working to repeal this legislation. First, we must confirm for our fellow citizens that this law is actually a dangerous intrusion into their lives. Secondly, we must solicit their help in informing others so that the law will be repealed by Congress or nullified by the states. Those willing to help are good prospects for JBS membership.
In addition to the May10 issue of The New American that contains extensive coverage about this healthcare measure, we have an excellent new DVD: ObamaCare 101. A flyer that can be used to publicize public showings of this extremely important DVD program is now available at JBS.org.
Four separate newspaper advertisements and the text for several radio ads will be available on JBS.org mid-June for anyone to download for wide use. They will offer a free copy of TNA, along with the ObamaCare 101 DVD. All who respond to these print and audio advertisements will be excellent prospects for membership.
For those who wish to conduct mailing programs with TNA or the DVD, or both at one time, a cover letter will also be available at JBS.org mid-June.
Because of the many hidden features in the healthcare bill, future articles in The New American will continue to provide commentary about its various phases. Posting on both JBS.org and TheNewAmerican.com will keep all up to date on this critical issue.
The targeted audiences mentioned in the May Bulletin will continue to represent the best places and the most important individuals to receive the healthcare issue of TNA and/or the DVD ObamaCare 101.
ACTION SUMMARY
- Distribute TNA to doctors, financial planners, independent healthcare providers, businessmen/women, and others who will be immediately impacted by socialized medicine. Ask for referrals and suggest there are solutions they can participate in.
- A special letter designed to accompany sending or delivering the magazine and DVD can be found on JBS.org.
- Hold town hall meetings using libraries, church halls, VFW, and American Legion facilities to show our DVD. Plan to use the special flyer available on JBS.org to advertise the program.
- Offer solutions for repeal such as having Congress repeal ObamaCare outright or withhold appropriations to implement ObamaCare, and having states use their opt-out power leading to nullification. Undertake visits to state legislators to press for state intervention. Contact the local congressional office to express displeasure and ask for one or more of the above actions.
