Campaign For Liberty - Know Your Czars

The Brainroom counts 32 czars in the Obama administration, based on media reports from reputable
sources that have identified the official in question as a czar. In addition, President Obama has said
that he will create the position of cyber czar, and there have been media reports that there could be
a health insurance czar and a copyright czar. When and if those positions are filled, that would bring
the total to 35. Since czar isn't an official job title, the number is somewhat in the eye of the beholder.

These unelected...unaccountable czars represent a serious threat to our democratic freedoms.
They are formulating government policies to transform the U.S, into a socialist, communist country.
To centralize power in Washington; To control free speech; To silence the news media; To nationalize
healthcare and a slew of other radical changes.

Contact your U.S. Senators and Representative, and tell them you object to socialist and Marxist
radicals serving in positions of power in the Obama administration, and urge them to make these
people accountable to the US congress. You can call your U.S. Senators at (202) 224-3121, and
your U.S. Representative at (202) 225-3121

Let your voice be heard. Get Involved...Stay Informed.
