About Us

The American Principles Project is a 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to preserving and propagating the fundamental principles on which our country was founded - universal principles, embracing the notion that we are all, "created equal, endowed by our Creator with certain unalienable rights, and among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."

Through our efforts, we hope to return our nation to an understanding that governance via these timeless principles will only strengthen us as a country. Continue reading:

Facts: A few more reasons to oppose HR 3962

Posted by: Thomas Peters in APP Blog

Tagged in: health care , action item

Beyond the established fact that Pelosi's health care bill will subsidize abortions with federal dollars, and in addition to its outrageous price tag and corresponding tendency to ration care for the sick and elderly, HR 3962 (PDF) also includes some specific problems we have alluded to before, and others which are new to us (courtesy of Tom McClusky):

Section 305 allows for the "Commissioner" to contract with "appropriate entities" to engage in "outreach to specific vulnerable populations" about the new programs in the bill. The bill includes no prohibition on ACORN or Planned Parenthood receiving this funding, despite the mounting evidence of malfeasance from those organizations.

-and-

Section 571 attempts to rewrite current tax law and redefine the family by allowing domestic partners to be the equivalent of spouses. The text in the health care bill is almost identical to the text of a bill that Human Rights Campaign has been pushing, H.R. 2625.

The Illinois Review has also posted 26 things wrong with PelosiCare.

One of my favorites:

Section 330 specifically does not require Members of Congress to enroll in the government-run plan.

Otherwise, of course, they might have to pay the same fines that the rest of us are subject to.

Enough is enough, please visit our APIA page dedicated to health care and take action now!

I don't see a problem with this...?

What is wrong with that?
