I wrote earlier about the hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars that Obama is pouring into California to build a permanent one-party system. Looks like that includes a cadre of Obama Youth in the Los Angeles Unified School District. The Los Angeles Unified School District will use a state grant to train teens to promote ObamaCare to family members.

But the California legislature and the new Covered California health insurance exchange are conspiring to keep secret how they will dole out more than half a billion dollars in taxpayer dollars to contractors. The

ACORN part duex: ObamaCare opening the door for cronyism, graft and massive fraud [Darleen Click]
As goes California … State officials say they need 20,000 people for the job of signing up millions of Californians for health insurance in the coming months, but a battle is brewing over whether these workers should undergo background checks and fingerprinting.

If you operate a corporation, you give up your First Amendment rights [Darleen Click]
So argues Obama’s DOJ While presenting an oral argument in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia last fall, a lawyer for the U.S. Justice Department told a federal judge that the Obama administration believed it could force the judge’s own wife—a physician—to act against her religious faith in the conduct of her medical practice. The assertion came in the case of Tyndale House Publishers v. Sebelius, a

Dr. Benjamin Carson Addresses National Prayer Breakfast, Criticizes Obamacare [Darleen Click]
I’m thinking we start a pool on how long it takes the IRS or DOJ to start an investigation of this apostate. The first part is about the PC police, Tocqueville and his personal story. At about the 19:00 mark Dr. Carson starts criticizing the tax code: What about our taxation system? So complex! There is no one who can possibly comply with every jot and tittle of our tax

The Chicago Way: Insurance companies to pay protection fee for privilege of selling insurance in ObamaCare exchanges [Darleen Click]
Nice business ya got dere, too bad if anything were to happen to it … WASHINGTON — The Obama administration said Friday that it would charge insurance companies for the privilege of selling health insurance to millions of Americans in new online markets run by the federal government.
