    Democrats Bury ‘Community Transformation’ Plans in Health Care Bill

    Thursday, June 18, 2009

    By Matt Cover THIS IS HOW THE DSA MAJORITY GOVERNMENT FUNNELS TAXPAYER $$ TO ACORN

    Senator Ted Kennedy (D-Mass.), lead sponsor of the Affordable Health Choices Act

    (CNSNews.com) - Senate Democrats inserted a wide-ranging provision for “Community Transformation Plans” in their half-completed health care bill, outlining the proposal on page 382 of the now-615 page bill, major sections of which have yet to be written.

    Some Republicans have criticized the provision as a means to funnel money to liberal activist groups under the canopy of “community organizations,” whereby they will use the funds to promote big government health care but also monitor people’s eating and exercise regimens in the name of “healthy lifestyles.”

    In the bill, the Affordable Health Choices Act, community transformation plans would be carried out using federal money and be overseen by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The CDC would distribute the money as well as coordinate the various state, local, and “community” entities responsible for carrying out the plans.

    According to the bill, both state and local governments are eligible for the grants, as are “national networks of community-based organizations,” a group which is not defined in the bill.

    Whichever type of group receives the funding, it must submit to the CDC director a plan for community transformation. As it states: “An eligible entity that receives a grant under this section shall submit to the [CDC] Director (for approval) a detailed plan that includes the policy, environmental, programmatic, and infrastructure changes needed to promote healthy living and reduce disparities.”(p. 383)

    The transformation plans must include “activities” for all ages, beginning in public schools, which focus on eating healthy food, adequate amounts of physical activity, the “promotion” of healthy lifestyles or “any other chronic disease priority area identified by the grantee.”

    The transformation plans must also take action to promote certain “healthy options” at privately owned restaurants as well as “prioritizing strategies” to “reduce racial and ethnic disparities,” although the bill does not explain how racial and ethnic disparities figure in to community transformation.

    The state, local, or community organization groups must also monitor the progress of their transformation plans among community members, measuring things such as weight loss, physical activity, and eating habits.

    Armed with these reports, community transformers must report back to the CDC, as well as share their findings with each other at national and regional meetings, which are designed to communicate “best practices” for community transformation.

    “An eligible entity shall annually submit to the Director a report containing an evaluation of activities carried out under the grant,” the legislation states.

    “A grantee under this section shall – (A) meet at least annually in regional or national meetings to discuss challenges, best practices, and lessons learned with respect to [community transformation] activities,” reads the legislation.

    The community transformation groups must then develop plans and training courses so that the government’s community transformation goals can be successfully implemented elsewhere.

    How much the federal government plans to spend on transforming the nation’s communities was among the many details not included in the draft text.

    While Democratic staffers told CNSNews.com that “community organizations” included things like the YMCA and Boys and Girls Club, Republican leaders said the proposal smelled like federal funding for ACORN, the controversial liberal activist group that has been dogged by allegations of election fraud.

    “Every time our friends on the other side start talking about community organizations, we usually think ACORN, and they do to,” Rep. Roy Blunt (R-Mo.) said at a press conference Wednesday outlining House Republicans’ alternative healthcare proposals.

    “We’re not for empowering a lot of activists on the other side to go out and ask people how they’re feeling,” said Blunt. “That won’t solve any problems, and it’s not too hard these days to find some bill that has something to enhance the finances of ‘community organizations.’” i.e. ACORN

    The Obama administration is on a swift boat! They want to rush everything through before the people realize what a calamity they're creating. They write huge proposals that no one has time to read in their entirety and there is usally some pork sandwiched in.

    Are we voting for"

    1) the "Democrats to pass financial overhaul quickly"?

    2) The democrats being a party to the treason

    3)not giving more power to the Fed

    I voted Yes for #2.

    But I hate ambiguous threads that are more than one idea, and whose title goes in the opposite direction of the body.

  6. Democracy:

    A government of the masses.

    Authority derived through mass meeting or any other form of "direct" expression.

    Results in mobocracy.

    Attitude toward property is comunistic-negating property rights.

    Attitude toward law is that the will of the majority shall regulate. whether it be based upon deliberation or governed by passion, prejudice, and impulse, without restraint or regard to consequences.

    Results in demagogism license, agitation, discontent, anarchy.

    Democracy is the "direct" rule of the people and has been repeatedly tried without success.

    A certain Professor Alexander Fraser Tytler, nearly two centuries ago, had this to say about Democracy: " A Democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of Government. It can only exist until the voters discover they can vote themselves largess out of public treasury. From that moment on the majority always votes for the candidate promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that Democracy always collapses over a loose fiscal policy, always to be followed by a Dictatorship."

    A democracy is majority rule and is destructive of liberty because there is no law to prevent the majority from trampling on individual rights. Whatever the majority says goes! A lynch mob is an example of pure democracy in action. There is only one dissenting vote, and that is cast by the person at the end of the rope.

    Republic:

    Authority is derived through the election by the people of public officials best fitted to represent them.

    Attitude toward property is respect for laws and individual rights, and a sensible economic procedure.

    Attitude toward law is the administration of justice in accord with fixed principles and established evidence, with a strict regard to consequences.

    A greater number of citizens and extent of territory may be brought within its compass.

    Avoids the dangerous extreme of either tyranny or mobocracy. Results in statesmanship, liberty, reason, justice, contentment, and progress.

    Is the "standard form" of government throughout the world.

    A republic is a form of government under a constitution which provides for the election of:

    an executive and

    a legislative body, who working together in a representative capacity, have all the power of appointment, all power of legislation all power to raise revenue and appropriate expenditures, and are required to create

    a judiciary to pass upon the justice and legality of their governmental acts and to recognize

    certain inherent individual rights.

    Take away any one or more of those four elements and you are drifting into autocracy. Add one or more to those four elements and you are drifting into democracy.

    Our Constitutional fathers, familiar with the strength and weakness of both autocracy and democracy, with fixed principles definitely in mind, defined a representative republican form of government. They "made a very marked distinction between a republic and a democracy and said repeatedly and emphatically that they had founded a republic."

    A republic is a government of law under a Constitution. The Constitution holds the government in check and prevents the majority (acting through their government) from violating the rights of the individual. Under this system of government a lynch mob is illegal. The suspected criminal cannot be denied his right to a fair trial even if a majority of the citizenry demands otherwise.

    Difference between Democracy and Republic, in brief:

    Democracy:

    a: government by the people; especially : rule of the majority.

    b: a government in which the supreme power is vested in the people and exercised by them directly or indirectly through a system of representation usually involving periodically held free elections.

    Attitude toward law is that the will of the majority shall regulate, whether it be based upon deliberation or governed by passion, prejudice, and impulse, without restraint or regard to consequences

    Republic

    a: a government having a chief of state who is not a monarch and who in modern times is usually a president : a political unit (as a nation) having such a form of government.

    b: a government in which supreme power resides in a body of citizens entitled to vote and is exercised by elected officers and representatives responsible to them and governing according to law.

    Democracy and Republic are often taken as one of the same thing, but there is a fundamental difference. Whilst in both cases the government is elected by the people, in Democracy the majority rules according to their whims, whilst in the Republic the Government rule according to law. This law is framed in the Constitution to limit the power of Government and ensuring some rights and protection to Minorities and individuals.

    The difference between Republic and Righteous Republic is that in the Republic the Government rules according to the law set up by men, in the Righteous Republic the law is the Law of God. Only in the Righteous Republic it can truly be said "One nation under God" for it is governed under commandments of the only One True God and there is no pluralism of religions.

    Autocracy declares the divine right of kings; its authority can not be questioned; its powers are arbitrarily or unjustly administered.

    Mobocracy: 1. Political control by a mob. 2. The mass of common people as the source of political control.
