If this doesn't rally, "WE THE PEOPLE" what will? Obamacare just got crammed down our throats! Is no one listening to "WE THE PEOPLE"? Are "WE THE PEOPLE" going to allow our precious freedoms to be slowly stripped away?
It is time to stand up and be counted! I AM MAD AS HELL AND YOU SHOULD BE TOO! I am going to make a list of all the SOB's and do my part in making sure they are voted out and NEVER hold public office again!!!
GET MAD! STAY MAD! VOTE THE BUMS OUT!
"......I know not what course others may take but as for me...GIVE ME LIBERTY OR GIVE ME DEATH..."

GET THE FOREIGNER OUT OF OUR WHITE HOUSE!!!!!
I got a call from a friend as the vote reached 216. He said "Welcome to the U.S.S.A.". I never thought this would happen in this country. I feel like Charlton Heston at the end of "Planet of the Apes", when he shouts, "YOU BLEW IT UP, DAMN YOU ALL TO HELL !" upon seeing the remains of the The Statue of Liberty. Al Sharpton said on Hannity afterwards, "America voted for socialism when they voted for Obama". Let's prove that son of a bitch wrong. Starting this moment, we take America back ! I'm going to bed now, we have a lot of work to do.
Please read my other post for my ideas on how we do just that...
Good Night & Good Luck.
As President Reagan said, "the bombing stats in five minutes"
(don't worry, I, like he before me, was joking. Seriously, we can do this without violence)
; )
I cannot believe my eyes and ears tonight. I feel like I am watching a movie and any moment Superman will reverse the rotation of the Earth and undo these almost unimaginably horrid events.
My father and Grandfather (separate sides) both fought in World War II. When they came home to the States, they thought The War was over. Our country soon found out that was not true.
Soon started the "Cold War". Generations lived under the threat of a Nuclear Holocaust, which was only helped along by the inexperienced JFK who, running contrary to popular lore, did more to cause the Cuban Missile Crisis in the first place by his inexperience (hint - sound familiar?) than he could possibly make up for by alleviating it.
Finally when I was still in high school the threat of communism seemed once and for all ended, as the wall came down, McDonald's opened in Russia and I clipped an article entitled "Hammer and Pickle" showing a picture of two soviets munching on Big Macs.
We thought it was over. Ronald Reagan has won the cold war for us.
My friends, it was NOT OVER.
We see now that communism and socialism didn't die with the USSR. They only went dormant, like some horrible bacteria hiding in our collective bone marrow. Now, as my young children prepare for a future in this once great country, they have re-emerged more dangerous and deadly to free will and open free markets than ever before.
I know not what tomorrow brings, but I fear it's either bloody revolution or unbearable oppression - forced to live a life as "life partners", driving in a Smart Car with our unsalted celery to eat on the way to our six hour wait to see state funded doctors who are busy murdering babies, careful not to let anyone see the lone plastic bottle we've hid from the environmental police on their latest patrol of our recycling cans.
The scary part is that paragraph should be almost comically paranoid but as of this writing I don't feel at all like it is.
The Who said it best. "And the men who spurred us on now sit in judgment of all wrong, while they decide the shotgun sings their song"
I go to bed tonight expecting to find the world a lot scarier and smaller in the morning. I only hope our baloon can make it across the alps. And hopefully we can fit in some singing.
I'm coming Julie. Wait up for me.
"The power under the Constitution will always be in the people.It is entrusted for certain defined purposes, & for a certain limited period, to representatives of their own choosing; & whenever it is executed contrary to their interest, or not agreeable to their wishes, their servants can, & undoubtedly will, be recalled." - George Washington.
Remember today. March 21, 2010. As I write this, it is 7:30 p.m., EST, & those in Washington are preparing to vote on the health care bill. Remember today. Remember how you feel at the moment you hear how the vote went. No matter the out come, our government has failed us. The political "ruling class" have forgotten for whom they work. If this bill is defeated, don't be satisfied... it never should have gotten this far. If, on the other hand, the Progressives (on BOTH sides) prevail... we must redouble our efforts.
Remember today. The pundits & talking heads will blather on about this & that... ignore them. The only hope for us to regain control of our own destiny, our own liberty, is to VOTE THEM ALL OUT ! The Democrats on the Left obviously have to be removed from office, but don't be fooled by the Republicans... It was their lack of character, dignity, & sense of decency that led us to the situation we find ourselves in now.
Remember today. That fire in your gut, that anger that you feel... use it. Just as the Socialists took control of the Democratic Party & the "Appeasers" took control of the Republican Party, so must we take control of BOTH parties. Don't think for an instant that it will be easy. The professional politicians will fight us, they don't want to lose power. At the same time, they will try to co-opt our movement. Don't let them. We must find people among our own ranks to challenge them in primary elections, in every level of government. From local school boards to State houses, vote them out & replace them with one of our own.
Remember today. The last thing any politician wants is for us, average, everyday citizens, to band together & rise up against them. They fear us awakening. They fear us learning how government works. They fear us learning & using The Constitution, that most sacred of documents. That is where our power resides. The brave men who wrote that document understood that unless "We the People" keep our elected officials under constant scrutiny, they will give in to their base desires for power. The Constitution provides us with all the power we need... SO USE IT.
No politician in office today should sleep easy. They should all understand, no matter what party they belong to... THEIR TIME IS UP !
Tomorrow, if you have not done so already, start getting involved on a local level. Find out what you need to do to make a primary challenge, and then do it. Don't trust some politician, YOU run for office. If you live somewhere that leans heavily toward one party or another, run as whatever will get you elected. Don't lie, don't hide your core beliefs, don't misrepresent yourself... that's what politicians do. Since both parties are to blame for this mess, both need to be remade. Only when we have cut out the cancer that is the Socialist Left & the Appeasers on the Right, will this Nation truly belong to every man, woman, & child again. Both parties were stolen from us, the Conservative, hard working men and women of America... it is time we take it back from the "Statist" Left and the "beholden to religion" Right. We must infiltrate the two party system. The system is set up that way, a third party will only keep the two established parties in power. We can do this.
REMEMBER TODAY !
Is it ObamaCare, PelosiCare or is it WhoCares?
Whatever you want to call what's happening in Washington, it's the beginning of the end of Democracy as we know it.
For years the govt. has told insurance companies not to stand between the patient and the doctor, and yet it's okay for them to tell Medicare recipients what they can and can't have. It's okay for THEM to make the rules that can make or break a patient. And now they're telling the insurance companies to pay for all kinds of things that they didn't before....but Medicare STILL won't be required to follow the same rules even though they are the insurance for seniors and those on disability.
Where's this going to end? Are they going to start their own Walmart too?
Several parts of the bill (which looks like it is certain to pass) will take effect almost immediately. Insurance companies will not be able to impose annual or lifetime caps on benefits. Also, insurances will be required to provide FREE preventive care visits.
Medicare IS an insurance for seniors and the disabled. Medicare HAS annual caps on convalescent care of up to 100 days, as well as hospital days.
Medicare only allows 1 preventive mammogram every two yrs, 1 pap smear every three yrs, and a prostate exam every two years. Other than that, there is NO preventive office visits.
If the govt. intends to play fair to private insurance companies Medicare MUST be forced to allow patients with UNLIMITED hospital and convalescent care, the same as it's imposing on them. In addition, ALL Medicare recipients should be allowed FREE annual visits. This means that Medicare must overlook their Part B deductible, and pay at 100%, and not the 80% would be paid for on covered services.
These changes, as well as others will unfortunately run Medicare out of business, but what's fair for the govt. to impose on the insurance companies is only fair if they too abide by them.
Also, insurance companies will be FORCED to accept everyone and anyone who applies. Medicare should also be forced to do so!!
I hope EVERYONE gets the word out that these changes will effect Medicare as well, and if the govt. hides behind the robe of "We don't have to..." then the Federal govt. should be sued over the matter.
So, PLEASE!! Help me and others get the word out that this Healthcare reform is going to be a bigger mess, legally to the govt than they anticipated.
Thanks
Bob
Many have called the in progress health care propose bill to be Socialism, while many are using this terminology, the Truth is, IT IS NOT SOCIALISM, this nation will never be and it does not have any even remote resemblance to be that.
I totally oppose to any government sponsor health care, it will be the biggest financial disaster after SS and Medicare, this are financial cows that are milked daily and the corporations are bucketing millions of dollars out of taxpayers and only the privileged few are enjoying life the way we all should be doing so.
The better way to deal with the high cost of health, is to reduce the profitability that insurance companies are offering to lure investors to be part of their portfolio, since deregulation insurance companies have "manèged" to keep the costs down, to give out bigger returns to those who invest in their corporations.
We have technology capable of detect what is wrong with our bodies, but unless you pay higher premiums than anybody else you will not be entitled to benefit from it, call me short brained, but wouldn't be a lot more effective if the technology is available to all, that way whatever is wrong can be fixed and the human person can go back to be productive?
One very good idea will be to remove the "INDUSTRY" label from health care, medicine is not an industry, it was not the intention of Hippocrates when he discovered, that doing certain procedures on the human body will makes us better, the last I have reason to believe it was his intention, not that some day in the future after he was gone a bunch of giant corporations will use it to put us in the position of; if you have no money or insurance you will not get the full benefit of the science of medicine.
I do believe that we are entitle to receive the same level of care, how do we achieve it? well somebody has to Run the country and tell the corporations how the people has to be treated, that is not socialism or communism or losing your freedom, that is PROTECTING the people from greedy creators of scam to bleed the population out of money, a Revolution took place in this country because of oppression from the existing government, it had made the people mad to the point they had had it and it paid off, a new Nation for the poor and hard laborer was created, that is till some groups decided that in this modern era, there are other ways to oppress people.
Congress is destroying this country, the foundation is crumbling, give me your tired your poor....those words mean nothing to those in Washington, they were replaced by contributions to their party by those who represent corporations called Lobbyists who work on behalf of the very same companies that are denying us to be care for.
In a TV interview Obama made a statement that he did not want to run the banking industry or wall street, well my answer to that is; Do run the banks, wall street, the utility companies, every industry that is out to get US and while you are at it run the country, FDR did it that way.
Lets say you are a cab driver for a small local company, before that you had a great job where you lasted 22 years, that company right before Ronald Regan became president was offering all the employees 100% coverage BC-BS on 3 years labor contracts, deregulation came into place the so called HMO's were now the favorite of all companies because they were "managed care health companies" and there was going to be a saving for all of us, not so there all kinds of "untold" restrictions that were reveled on the need to know basis, well that same guy lost that good job and chose to be a cab driver, long hours to make a decent pay and have to a work ween of 7 days and not nine to five, that driver has a heart attack ends up in a hospital, the hospital has knowledge of the lack of insurance, helps the person fill out the necessary forms to obtain state sponsor insurance, a letter from the attending physician was attached to the forms, at the end a letter of denial was accompanied by a letter of appeal, sent to the residence of the patient, how do I know this I am the driver that had the heart attack, I now take five diferent prescriptions and not entitled to any help from the comapnies that make this meds Plavix and Lipitor are not life saving meds for the poor!!!
Why Study the Constitution? - - - An editorial by David Toy
The Apostle Paul tells us in Ephesians 6: 11 to: “Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes.” We can all agree; that is wonderful advice. Now, we must also put on the full armor of the United States Constitution because, sadly, our current crop of politicians do not agree with Barry Goldwater, who said: “I will not attempt to discover whether legislation is ‘needed’ before I have first determined whether it is constitutionally permissible.”
Do you remember who said: “I chopped down the cherry tree; — I cannot tell a lie.” Do you also remember who said: “If you have health insurance through your employer and this bill passes, his premiums will go down 3,000%; —he’ll be able to give you a raise.” George Washington could not tell a lie because he was an honorable man of strong moral fiber. Barack Hussein Obama cannot tell the truth because, if he did, the public would oppose his plans to fundamentally change the United States.
With the president and many members of congress willing to lie continually to advance their agenda and a news media eager to cover for them, we must know and understand everything that is in our constitution or it will soon become an insignificant piece of parchment. If we, the citizens of this great country, do not know and protect our rights, they will erode and disappear until we are mere serfs, fodder to fuel an all powerful, tyrannical government run amuck.
on Sunday, March 21 "The March For America" organised by WeMarchForAmerica dot org so "Thousands of working families will be coming to Washington, D.C. to show that the 'American People'(?) want a practical solution to the immigration problem. This will be a dramatic demonstration of support for fixing our 'broken' immigration system." Ali Noorani, Executive Director of the National Immigration Forum.
This March On Washington will show the illegal immigrants brazen disregard of the U.S. Immigration Laws by marching in force down Pennsylvania Avenue in our nation's capitol.

Wish I could be there with these great patriots but my mind and heart are with you. I am appalled at the arrogance of Congress. I am not suprised at Obama's arrogance because he showed this all during the campaign. I hope we can beat back this vote but if not let us not forget come November. I pray individual states can throw up roadblocks. I have not heard a lot about what we can do if it does pass. Everyone seems to have different ideas or thoughts. It will be interesting to see what states, individuals can do. Again thank you for going to DC and speaking out for us.
Jon Voight to join TEA Partiers in Washington DC this Saturday, March 20th at 12 noon EST. Pack an overnight bag and join him, along with Rep. Michele Bachmann to fight against the ACORN brass-knuckle bullies and a tyrannical administration.
Call To Arms: Join Jon Voight In DC Saturday 12 Noon EST To Stop ObamaCare
One solution to the Washington D.C. morass is to hold a Constitutional Convention and revise the United States of America Constitution to replace the House of Representatives with direct, secure bill presentation and voting by “we the people”. This revision will have several benefits including, but not limited to:
1. By spreading the votes to the people it will make lobbying by special interest groups of this many individuals virtually impossible.
2. Conservative direct cost savings estimated at $10 billion per year will be realized because each Representative now has a staff and salary that averages 10 million dollars per year and there are currently 431 representatives.
3. The revision will maintain a system of checks and balances that our founders originally intended.
4. Direct voting by the people will provide incentive for citizens to stay involved because they will have influence on legislative outcomes.
5. Direct voting will also redirect the enormous amount of money (not included in direct savings above) that each representative must spend for re-election or election every two years. How effective and efficient can a representative be when that person is virtually running for re-election every two years?
6. This change in our Constitution will eliminate a dysfunctional component of our Federal government who refuses to listen to their constituents.
It is apparent that details regarding this direct voting by “we the people” need to be worked out as our founders did during the first Constitution “convention”. For example, there may be a need to organize citizen committees to present new bills or rescind laws. Another example is how to maintain and make available secure voting online to all of the citizenry.
A call for a Constitutional convention requires approval by two thirds of the states.
