NJO: "Benjamin Wetmore: A mentor of mine; a genius",
said James O'Keefe in an interview in September 2009. So here's a look at some of the wisdom of this certifiably
mentorial influence on James' life.
Today, from September 2009, "Healthcare Independent Expenditure idea" (mirrored here and here):
(I wrote this up and sent it to a few
friends who I thought could tell me if it was a decent idea or not.
Only one responded, and even then without saying whether it was a good
idea or not. I'm getting the feeling that I'm either past my prime or
unable to get any political scheme funded or people interested anymore.
So, I'm posting it here in the resigned defeat of watching another
political idea die on the vine.)
Healthcare Independent Expenditure idea
1. Get a voice artist who sounds similar to President Obama
2. Identify and rent lists of elderly likely voters in key areas
a. Senate
Colorado – Bennett
Arkansas – Lincoln
North Dakota – Dorgan
b. House
South Dakota – Herseth
(other potentials)
c. Legal limitations
Check for states where the most favorable regulatory regime exists:

3. Record a short spot using the voice artist:
Sterile female voice:
Please hold for a fake message from the President Barack Obama
Obama voice artist:
Good afternoon seniors,
I
want to talk to you for a moment about healthcare reform. I know many
of you are concerned about losing Medicare and Medicaid benefits and
likely cuts to Social Security that will be necessary to pay for my
healthcare reforms. However, I want to ask you to end the divisiveness
on this issue and support me. I know what’s best for you and even if we
do take your benefits, tax your healthcare plan or increase taxes, it
will be worth it to provide healthcare to those who can’t afford it.
So, please stop opposing me and trust me.
Thank you.
