Please ring some phones!!
Please remember that the current Obamacare legislation:
- Cuts Medicare for seniors by $500 billion.
- Will lead to doctors – and medical institutions – refusing to treat Medicare patients.
- Forces every American to buy health insurance under the penalty of a fine or jail.
- Establishes a Medicare Advisory Board of government bureaucrats empowered to ration health care for seniors, cut their benefits.
- Will not lead to a cost savings once the doc fix is added, and it will be.
There is so much more wrong with this bill. The fact is we may never have a better opportunity than now to stop the radical Obamacare.
It is urgent key members of Congress hear from you.
Here are Congressmen whose votes are not clearly decided. Please call them at both their Washington and district offices:

Tell your Congressman you OPPOSE the Obamacare Plan and that they must vote AGAINST it!
Tea Party Tomorrow!
We were THISCLOSE to packing some clothes and heading out at midnight last night to drive to DC.
That’s when we would need to leave to make it there. In the end, we discussed what responsibilities we had here at home, with an elderly mom and jobs and a mortgage to pay. We decided it would be difficult at best to make it there in time, and that it would make it next to impossible to pay our bills if we used the money on gas, food and hotel rooms for a trip to this rally.
Then it hit me. THIS is why the Tea Party movement is an incredible phenomenon in and of itself! Most conservatives, regardless of party affiliation, are RESPONSIBLE people who pay their own way and don’t expect handouts. Much too responsible to drop all the things they have to do for their families and their employers, or employees, to just run to a rally. No matter how important the protest.
I have been to several. We have given up lunches and rearranged schedules to dri
ve as many as 7 hours to attend them. It’s THAT important to us that this travesty called “health care reform” not be passed into law. The double counting, fuzzy math, backroom dealing, stealing from the elderly and flat out LYING in this bill…not to mention the fact that they are disregarding the directive of the American people AND the CONSTITUTION to do it!
There are are so many people that don’t see the whole picture. We do not have people dying in the streets for lack of health care. Doctors and hospitals aren’t turning people away for lack of insurance. I worked in health care for over 20 years. We saw people without insurance all the time. Medicare and Medicaid need to be fixed and expanded, if there really are people not covered. Absolutely. Do THAT first. And the insurance companies need to have some guidelines as to not being able to drop people when they get sick. That’s why we pay for insurance in the first place. Duh. Allow insurance sales across state lines. Make them work for our business. But this bill doesn’t do that and will end the health care we have now…the best health care in the world. Health care workers need to CALL THEIR REPS! Tell them to VOTE NO!
This makes me so sick. I just watched Pelosi…again…say she is assured of a victory “for the American people”. This health care travesty is NOT what MOST of us want and I am livid. They have no business issuing “rights” and the folks that elected them to office don’t either. I will be here tomorrow, calling whoever I can to beg them to vote no. Please do the same. Call them. E-mail them. Go to their office. Please ask them to vote no. This is not what we want.

Info from Gov Mike Huckabee:
VERY helpful info from the corner:
Thursday, March 18, 2010
If you want to make your voice heard on the health-care bill before the House votes on Sunday, you’d better do so quickly. To make things easier for you, here, organized in alphabetical order by state, are the 40 key Democratic members of Congress whom Jeff Anderson and Andy Wickersham identified in a Critical Condition post last week, together with their direct Capitol Hill office phone numbers. (I haven’t kept track of all the developments since then, but it would be useful to congratulate or berate your member, as you see fit, if he or she has firmly adopted a position.)
The “(S)” means that the member voted for the Stupak amendment last fall.
The full House phone directory is here.

Here’s the NRCC’s Code Red target list
Call to Rally in D.C.
The liberals are trying to push this vote through on a Sunday during Lent to keep us from being able to contact our Reps and voicing our opinions. So, Reps. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) and Steve King (R-IA) to try to organize a tea party rally at the Capitol on Saturday. If anyone is available at this short notice to go to DC, you can RSVP at the site below. If you want to support those going, check out the site anyhow. I will be praying for everyone who can make the trip and calling to see what else I can do to help.
Let’s not forget these are the same folks who have been screaming about a woman’s “RIGHT” to choose what to do with her own body regarding abortion…the killing of another person for your own convenience. And yet…they want to make it Federal law that the Government can tell EVERYONE what they can do with their bodies regarding healthcare!! As usual, they make no sense at all. Don’t sit back and let them vote this in to law!
People’s Saturday Surge on DC
Liar, Liar
I watched Obama during his farce of an “interview” with Bret Baier on FoxNews last night. It is so obvious that he doesn’t even care that we know he’s lying about everything he says. He doesn’t know what’s in the bill. He said so. BlahBlahBlah. It could have been any one of his recent speeches.
He refuses to tell us about all the “deals” that are in the bill. Because he has no idea. And yet he is STILL claiming “transparency” in his administration and in the process. Yeah. About as transparent as those doors they were hiding behind when they made those back room deals.
I will be very surprised if this thing doesn’t pass. God only knows what’s been promised in exchange for votes. And here’s the thing: Knowing how much the liberals have lied to the American people…how on earth do they trust each other to follow through on those promises?

Miss me yet?
OMG, this is hilarious.
You know what? I do. And not for the reasons that you might think. Sure, I felt safer and less like we were headed into a Socialist situation. There was plenty of partisan bickering then, too, so that’s not new. But, dang, did we see Bush as much in 8 years as we’ve seen Obama in one? The press corps were complaining they hadn’t seen Obama in “awhile”. Really? Cuz I see him everywhere. Every day. Speeches and speeches worth.
Anyhow, the billboard. Could be Photoshopped, but it’s not. This is actually a real sign and it was paid for by a group of small business people in Wyoming, Minnesota who feel like Washington DC is against them. I feel like Washington DC is against Americans in general. Even those that voted for them. I still feel like both sides of the aisle think they were elected to royalty instead of public service. Especially the “Commander in Chief”. He basically said today that he will do what he wants, regardless of what is decided in Congress. Really? So, basically, he is the King and we lowly subjects do not have enough sense to know what we want.
He said today that the “public soured on process…contaminated how they viewed substance”. Really? Guess what? I think we were “soured” on the substance…the pork, the idiocy, the audacity. There are some really simple things to do that cost nothing. Let’s try those first! What is wrong with allowing insurance sales across state lines as a starter? It would cost NOTHING and it would spur competition and lower prices, better coverage, more customer service. What exactly is the problem with this? It could be done in a matter of weeks. It would NOT take 2900 pages of BULLSH!T to put in place. NO one would have to be paid off to vote for it. Even better…make it a stipulation that any company that sells health insurance may NOT drop a customer due to illness and they cannot deny policies to those with pre-existing conditions. There, done. You want to be in the health insurance business, you play by these rules. Doesn’t take 2900 pages.
I wonder how it is that Washington DC is rife with people who have NO common sense at all. Oh. Maybe it’s that the people who voted them into office had none. Sure sucks when your fellow Americans vote based on a false promise of transparency and lots of free goodies from the government. Oh, wait. The free goodies are NOT from Obama…they are from you & me, the TAXPAYERS.
Yeah, I miss Bush. I coulda lived without this particular change.
Do you think he cares about the Polls now?
Seemed like the polls drove a lot of Obama’s campaign, and the media’s frenzy. Now? We rarely hear about his approval ratings unless it’s on Fox News, or the internet.
At what point do we get to get real about this mess?
Maybe a sign of the times is that SNL has pulled their collective heads from their mostly liberal, Obama-loving arses:
I’m a Right Wing Nut
The liberals are nuts. Just plain and simple. And liars. Cuz there is NO way they read this bill and can still honestly still say it is what Americans “want”, let alone what we need. They are either communists…in which case this is about control, stupid…in which case they just don’t get it, or seriously deluded…which is the same as stupid, but more dangerous. In any case, they need to go. Away from Washington DC. Game over. They need to be fired. Come 2010, I believe we will send them away. Until then, we need to keep being vocal about what we really want.
We went to a Tea Party last week in Amarillo, TX. Long drive, but well worth it. There were hundreds of us, and? 5 protesters with signs opposing us.
Incredible
Incredible…incredibly sad. Incredibly stupid. Incredibly crazy. How can they believe we want this pack of lies as an excuse for a health care bill?
Please e-mail or call your Senators. This is not the change we need. This is NOT going to do what they promise. This bill steals money from medicare in order to cover many who don’t WANT health care and will ultimately force us all on a substandard version of health care.
Here’s a sample email — use it or your own words.
Subject: Vote NO on Pelosi Health Services bill or WE vote NO in 2010
WE THE PEOPLE are organized, engaged, and enthused.
We were able to organize sending over 20,000 people to Washington DC in less than 6 days even during a recession. Thousands of us across America worked the phone banks in NJ and Virginia to get the conservative wins and we were DEFINITELY sending you a message to stay out of our health care.
We WILL work to remove any politician from office in 2010 who does not listen to us. And if you vote yes to the unconstitutional power grabbing Pelosi Health Bill atrocity, your name will be at the top of the list.
This is a promise. VOTE NO ON THE PELOSI HEALTH BILL.

This says more than I could:
That’s all I have today. I have a cold. Probably NOT H1N1. Glad we work and have our own health insurance for the moment. Still praying the public option and now the proposed tax on employers who provide the best for their employees gets tossed from this travesty of a bill the liberals seem intent on having, regardless of the majority of the opinion in this country. Bah.This liberal idea of punishing those who do well is so crazy. CRAZY.
Maybe when I wake up there will be good news.
