The ad begins with footage of Shaheen on the Senate floor echoing President Obama by saying, "if you like your insurance you can keep it." An overlay graphic points out that Obama was given the "Lie of the Year" award from a fact-checking group for that whopper.
The ad then shifts to a local focus: It notes 20,000 people in New Hampshire have lost their insurance to date and that Obamacare exchanges offer only a single provider on the state's individual market. That's the whole point!
The ad ends with a zinger sign-off: "Next November, if you like your senator, you can keep her. If not, you know what to do."

O-Care is a great issue. It's the sort of thing that will motivate independents and low-info voters. It's the kind of thing that can really motivate the base. Really the only way to lose on this is to run the man who invented it at the top of your ticket...

"President Obama's approval rating is down to 39 percent. And Toronto Mayor Rob Ford, who admitted to smoking crack cocaine, went up to 49 percent. How does this make Obama feel? He'd be better off smoking crack than passing Obamacare." Jay Leno
Wait a minute, didn't he already do the cocaine thing?
[BREITBART] Eight Democrats have proposed a bill that would take the death penalty off the table for a variety of serious federal crimes, including espionage, treason and assassinating federal politicians.
The Federal Death Penalty Abolition Act. (HR 3741) would "end the death penalty for liquidation or kidnapping that results in the death of the president or vice president, and also ends it for the murder of a member of Congress."
The list goes on: "using a weapon of mass destruction, or murder done via torture, child abuse, war crimes, aircraft hijackings, sexual abuse, bank robberies or the willful wrecking of a train."
And there is even more like "using chemical or biological materials to kill could also no longer result in the death penalty, nor could deaths related to treason or espionage. The death or injury of an unborn child could not result in the death penalty either."
Sponsors of the bill include Rep. Donna Edwards (D-MD), Elijah Cummings ...Representative-for-life from Maryland, representing half of Baltimore City, which makes his district ultra-safe, and most of Howard County, which is out-populated by the city. Cummings' politix are so liberal they're tedious... (D-MN), Barbara Lee (D-CA) Hank Johnson (D-GA), John Lewis (D-GA), Jan Schakowsky (D-IL) and José Serrano (D-N.Y.).

IOW, the families of 3000 killed on 9-11 will not see justice done evar! in the name of the lost.
The above may not only never know the truth of 9-11 + whomdunnit, but even iff they did the perpetrators will NOT be punished like they should be.

These sponsors all appear to have something in common besides their workplace and political affiliation. If it's alright with everyone here, I'll just call this bulshi*t what it actually is, 'communist incrementalism.'
Suspension of the death penalty is simply step one. Amnesty for all "political prisoners" is the ultimate goal.

Preemptive preparation for a Republican admin & congress.
Once the camoflage is lifted on this regime treason & espionage trials will be commonplace and the soon to be defendents want to change the laws before they have to face them.

They want to do away with the death penalty? Are there any Federal crimes where the death penalty still applies? We will probably find after he is out of office that Obama was really born in Kenya and that he is as phony as that deaf interpreter at Mandela's funeral.
[DALLASNEWS] Four Texas congressmen took aim Monday at the federally paid navigators who are helping Texans access insurance coverage through the Affordable Care Act.
Their criticism came during an unusual "field hearing" by the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.
The hearing focused on required navigator training and the lack of background checks and fingerprinting for those on the job.
"There are many problems with the Affordable Care Act, but I don't think we ever expected it would be this bad," said committee chairman Darrell Issa, R-Calif.
The committee's other member at the hearing, Rep. Blake Farenthold, R-Corpus Christi, called North Texas "ground zero" for navigator problems.
He and Issa were joined by three noncommittee members, all Republicans, who spoke against President Barack Obama Republicans can come along for the ride, but they've got to sit in the back... 's signature law.
"This is one of a series of field hearings by Congressman Issa investigating the shortcomings of Obamacare," Rep. Pete Sessions, R-Dallas, told nearly 200 people at the Eisemann Center.
Rep. Randy Neugebauer, R-Lubbock, and Rep. Michael Burgess, R-Lewisville, were the other two Texans speaking against the new law.
Rep. Marc Veasey, D-Fort Worth, another noncommittee member, spoke in favor of the law. He urged the gathering to focus on the Texans who remain uncovered because state leaders decided not to expand Medicaid.
But the hearing focused on navigators and an undercover video that purported to show several North Texas women urging an insurance applicant to lie. They were training as navigators in Irving.
As proof, the committee played a video clip from a Fox News report. It showed two women telling an applicant that he should hide his extra income and the fact that he was a smoker. Such lies would lower his insurance premiums, they said.
Dr. Randy Farris, regional administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, testified that his agency took the video seriously. The agency oversees the new law's rollout.
"CMS took immediate action to decertify the navigators and issue a detailed corrective-action plan," he said.
The employees were subsequently suspended. Farris declined to specify whether they were fired.
The Urban League of Greater Dallas employed the two women. The group beefed up navigator training to assure they follow the law, Farris said. His agency promised to make unannounced visits to observe the agency's work.
The Republican congressmen did not sound appeased. They described wider potential for problems, given the number of agencies providing navigators.
The federal government is paying nearly $11 million to eight community organizations that supervise navigators, said Farris. The agencies have good standing and no reason to flout the law, he said.
Issa said the potential for navigator abuse was so great that Texas insurance regulators should take further action. He urged the state to move forward with rules that would prevent identity theft and other criminal behavior.

Positions for guides and mentors in a program which will ultimately control one sixth of the nation's economy go to the Urban League? Ok, I believe I've got it now. :-(

Nonsense, Iblis.RICO is used to persecute enemies of the stare, not agents and favored cronies.

Got my first call (actually, I've ignored several previous calls from same phone #) today asking how they could help me enroll in Medicare (I'm a lot younger than retirement age). Weird thing was the phone # was based in Deerfield Beach, FL, whereas I live in metro ATL, GA.

I understand that it takes far less time to become a navigator than to sign up for ObamaCare.
[The Guardian] CIA director John Brennan, who was a senior CIA official during the years scrutinized by the committee, is resisting release of the report. The arrogance of the DOJ, Brennan and the Klingons is fully illustrated here. It is instructive to note that Kraus "worked alongside Brennan at the White House" during the attack on US Gov't facilities in Benghazi.
[DENVER.CBSLOCAL] The Denver City Council has made a move to try and make sure minors who are caught with pot aren't punished too harshly.
A law voters passed last year decriminalized marijuana possession for adults but it didn't consider the legal repercussions for a minor.
People under 21 with pot were left open to criminal charges that would stay on their permanent record.
Denver city councilors want it to become a civil charge still enforced by a petty fine but with no lasting legal consequences.
"We do not want this age group to be to have their legs cut off before they get started in life," said City Council Member Albus Brooks. Next step, I think, will be to make the stuff mandatory.
Brooks sponsored the city's newest marijuana regulation, calling it in the spirit of the new law. You'll probably have to take a blood test to make sure you have the required level of cannabis in your blood stream.
The city council is also considering a law banning the marijuana industry businesses within 1,000 feet of a school. Except for dealers, of course.
It is the latest in a series of marijuana laws to go on the books before the new year when the legal sale of marijuana goes into effect.
"All of the priorities that we've had have taken a backseat because we are the first city in the world to put this regulatory framework the way we're doing it," said Brooks.
