The Healthcare Bill is Unconstitutional

The Justice Foundation’s Mass Action Lawsuit

RE: Mass Litigation for Citizen Rights by The Justice Foundation

After being contacted by JoAnn Fleming, Executive Director of “Grassroots America — We the People,” discussing the need for litigation with supporters of the San Antonio Tea Party, spending time in prayer and fasting, and at the request of many other citizens, The Board of Trustees of The Justice Foundation has authorized the attorneys of The Justice Foundation to represent a group of at least 10,000 individual Citizen Plaintiffs to assert their constitutional rights as individuals to oppose the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and its companion Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 on the grounds that they:

• Exceed Congress’s constitutional legislative power, specifically the power to regulate interstate commerce (Article I, Section 8, clause 3) and the taxing power (Article I., Sections 2 and 9) of the Constitution;
• Violate individual liberties under the First Amendment, including the right of individuals to object to being forced to pay for abortions which they consider murder, thus violating the free exercise of their religion under the First Amendment;
• Violate the Ninth Amendment, economic and personal liberties and rights which are reserved to the people;
• Violate the Tenth Amendment of the Constitution which reserves rights to the individuals and the states;

The Citizen Plaintiffs seek to join initially with 10,000 others before the lawsuit is filed in an appropriate venue (probably in Texas). More Plaintiffs may be added in the future.

This litigation will be unique in several aspects:
• It will allow individual citizens to stand for the limitation of federal government power and assert the rights of the states (federalism) rather than only relying on State Attorney Generals;
• It will combine the structural federalism constitutional objections to this unprecedented expansion of government power and encroachment on the power of the states with a First Amendment religious liberty claim related to abortion which has already been shown to resonate at the U.S. Supreme Court;

The People themselves will be asserting the natural rights reserved directly to the People under the Constitution.

Any individual of any state who wishes to be represented by The Justice Foundation can sign up online via the Plaintiff Intake & Representation Agreement form. An enrollment fee of $100.00 will be required for individual plaintiffs. Plaintiffs may contribute greater amounts if they desire. Contributions in excess of $100.00 are tax-deductible, but the $100.00 fee to become a member of the Plaintiff group will not be tax-deductible since the value of legal services received will vastly exceed the $100.00 contribution. Payment plans are also available for individuals who need them. Post-abortive women who have testified concerning their abortion trauma in a manner admissible in court may request a waiver of the $100 fee, in recognition of the immense sacrifice they have already made to the Cause of Life.
