-Caveat Lector- Thanks to Ron Paul (R- TX), The Liberty Committee and many aware and concerned online activists, the implementation of the medical identifer has TEMPORARILY been blocked. ~ /\/\ -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Update: Success!

Because thousands of T.L.C. activists supported Representative Ron Paul's legislation, we stopped Big Brother for another year. Here's how you did it. Back on June 13, Ron Paul's amendment (H. Amdt. 787) to the Labor/H.H.S./Education appropriations bill (H.R. 4577) passed the House. Hurrah! That amendment blocks the creation of a "unique medical identifier" - the dreaded national medical identification number - that would be assigned to every man, woman, and child in the U.S. Not so fast...on October 13, the Paul amendment came in danger of being removed in a conference committee. Without that amendment, the federal government could implement the key provision of the infamous 1993 Clinton health-care proposal: the assignment of a specific number to every American so that your health-care history could be tracked and your personal medical records collected in a massive national medical database. Because of the response to our Liberty Alert sent in October, thousands of messages arrived on Capitol Hill supporting the Paul amendment. Those messages told our elected representatives two things: we are watching and we expect you to keep the Paul amendment in the appropriations bill! That's the key - stopping "business as usual" that goes on behind closed doors - that is what The Liberty Committee is here to do. The entire appropriations bill is expected to be signed into law by the president, but our amendment is only a one-year "fix." Next, we must gear up for an outright repeal of the entire provision of the 1996 Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (H.I.P.A.A.) that mandates the assignment of a unique medical identification number to every American. We are stronger now and we are a winning team We will build on this success and, with your help, work for repeal in the 107th Congress. Thank you to the thousands who helped in this critical effort! You are making a difference.
