WASHINGTON, April 1, 2011 /Standard Newswire/-- Let Freedom Ring and its many co-sponsors of the Where's MY Waiver? initiative launched their website yesterday at www.WheresMYWaiver.com, where every American has the opportunity to submit their own application to the Department of Health and Human Services seeking a waiver from provisions of ObamaCare that can harm them. Tens of thousands are expected to visit WheresMYWaiver.com.
Today, a Let Freedom Ring video featuring a mock interview between comedian, and political commentator, Steven Crowder and New York Congressman, Anthony Weiner, was posted on the website. The theme is Weiner's hypocrisy between his statement that "the bill and I are one" and his request for a waiver from the law.
The initiative challenges the Obama Administration to allow individuals to apply for waivers from damaging provisions of ObamaCare, just as businesses and states are allowed to do.
Let Freedom Ring asks why every American can't ask for the same freedom to opt out of a healthcare plan they don't believe in or ultimately trust.
At the core of the story is Congressman Anthony Weiner--one of ObamaCare's biggest supporters--who last week requested a waiver from the healthcare plan for New York City.
"It's ironic that the same folks who supported ObamaCare are now seeking to be exempt from it," said Let Freedom Ring President Colin Hanna. "That tells me that the plan is flawed and ultimately doomed. If those who supported the law are requesting and receiving waivers, the law's opponents should certainly be guaranteed waivers, too."
Hanna added that every American deserves to be protected from the Obama Administration's healthcare plan, not only a select few.
Thus far, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius has granted five states and 1,040 businesses waivers that exempt them from provisions of ObamaCare. And while union employees make up just 11.9 percent of American workers, 45.55 percent of workers benefiting from waivers are unionized, almost four times their share of the workforce.
"And interestingly," Hanna added, "those same unions receiving waivers also happened to have provided over $120 million in political support on behalf of Democratic candidates between 2008 and 2010. Two more interesting facts to ponder."
A partial list of co-sponsors of WheresMYWaiver.com includes Americans for Tax Reform, Heritage Action, 60 Plus Association, Family Research Council Action, College Republicans, Association of American Physicians and Surgeons, and Concerned Women for America Legislative Action Committee.
