Taxes
In my e-mail. Too funny not to share:
They sent my tax return back AGAIN because of my response to the question: “List all dependents”
I replied -
“12 million illegal immigrants;
3 million crack heads;
42 million unemployed people on food stamps,
2 million criminals in over 243 prisons;
Half of Mexico; and
535 fools in the U.S. House and Senate.”
Apparently this was not an acceptable answer.
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.

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
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.
Note to Pelosi
Nancy. Madam Speaker. Princess. Whatever. You need to understand this, and I have finally figured out what it is that you don’t get.
YOU think we’re angry. YOU think we are having town hall “tantrums” like little children, because we didn’t get our way. That is absolutely wrong. What you are seeing at town halls and tea parties is not anger. Anger is mild compared to what we feel and our passion is not born of resentment or disappointment. Don’t get me wrong, we feel that too. Very strongly. Every time you speak, I feel that. But no, this is different.
What we feel is beyond anger, beyond disappointment. What we feel is outraged.
You and your cronies have been chiseling away at the backbone of this country for the few years you have been in the majority. Understand you are only in the majority in Washington. In less than a year, you and Obama have taken this country in a direction that I cannot imagine any true American would even joke about going. I can only believe you are all completely insane, and I would feel sorry for you if you weren’t endangering the country I love.
Earlier this week a woman called in to Rush Limbaugh’s show. Yes, I know how you hate Rush. Maybe it’s actually demon possession…don’t they go crazy at the sound of truth being spoken? But truth is what this woman spoke and I really wish you could listen to her. She is a fellow Californian, one of your people, if not a “constituent”, per se.
But you should listen. Because there are more of us every day. Every day, one more person…or a hundred, depending on what stupid, irresponsible, communistic thing you and your cronies have pulled that day…become outraged and join our ranks. So stop your bawling and crybaby act. YOU are doing this, Nancy. Obama is doing this. We were asleep…and you partied too loud and took too much advantage. Now we’re awake…and we’re beyond angry. WE ARE OUTRAGED.
Here is part one of Susan’s call on YouTube – there are three parts:
[Part Two] [Part Three]
Queen of the Hypocrites
Nancy Pelosi is such a hypocrite. Oh, yes, I can think of much stronger words, but apparently that would make her break down into a weepy, blubbery, sniveling, LYING mess. She is absolutely the queen of hypocrites. The very first sentence in this clip is what she should be saying into the mirror:
She claims that all this “rhetoric” is making her uncomfortable because it reminds her of the late 70′s and all the violence. What she’s referring to is the 1978 murders of Mayor George Moscone and city Supervisor Harvey Milk, a gay rights activist. Which was nothing close to what we are dealing with now. She is one of the ones who started the most recent name-calling in the first place.
“I wish that we would all, again, curb our enthusiasm in some of the statements that are made,” Pelosi said. Some of the people hearing the message “are not as balanced as the person making the statement might assume.” So, when she called is nazis and astroturf and Maxine Waters called us teabaggers and racists…exactly how balanced was that?
Mark Williams called Obama an “Indonesian Muslim turned Welfare thug,” and “Racist-in-Chief”. So what? And boo-freaking-hoo. People on the left called Bush way worse things and while many of us were offended, it didn’t lead to violence. How Pelosi can equate honest, albeit snarky, WORDS to violence while denying any responsibility for her own party’s name calling [nazi, racist, teabagger, astroturf, unAmerican, mobsters, extremists, and soooo many more] is absolutely TYPICAL of her insincere, selfish and completely false “rhetoric”…to use her favorite word.
Well guess what? I don’t intend to live under a dictator like Chavez or Ahmadinejad. I will say what I want about whomever I want and if they want to imprison or kill me for it, fine. Anyone who lives HERE in a FREE USA and wants that kind of government needs to MOVE TO Venezuela or Iran. Get the hell out. But leave the Freedom our forefathers fought for alone! Why do you think SOOOOO many people want to live here? Because they can say what they like about whatever they like and not be imprisoned or killed! If that is the government you want? MOVE! And take Obama with you. I don’t dislike him because of race and I am sure he’s a nice guy. BUT I abhor his policies and his attempt to advance the current state of victim mentality, making it a permanent condition.
In the end, talk is NOT violence and if you want to look at violent protests, look at the left. The 9/12 rally at the Capitol was not violent, and in fact, there was not a single arrest. Nancy Pelosi needs to step down. All she does is divide and polarize this country more ever time she opens her mouth. And didn’t her mother ever teach her the “sticks & stones” thing?
DC Tea Party
Saw a webcam as folks were walking to the rally…it was awesome. SOOOO many people.
Here’s a still shot:
And another:
I wish I was there. Actually, I wish Obama was there. It’s so cowardly and weak of him to NOT be there, in town and at least SEE how many of us don’t want this kind of CHANGE. Cowardly, weak and sooooooooo TYPICAL. I would have had so much more respect for him had he been man enough to stay and hear what the other half or better of the PEOPLE he works for think! But, once again, he has proven me right to distrust him and his lies and his Czars [Hey! You can be a Czar, too!] and his party [Democrat, Liberal, Socialist, Communist...take your pick] and his motives.
I would have loved to be here, but we are having a Tea Party on Twitter. Join us! Well done, people!!
Get Real…
GetReal.tv interview:
Yup…what he said. I completely agree. And a link to what he was wearing, and the sign he carried are below:
Tea Party Express
I have a lot of opinions. This much is obvious. But usually I spout them here, on FB or yell them at the TV. I hate confrontation, for the most part…a by product of a family who never got along, I guess.
So, I have been to exactly two political rallies in my whole life.
The first, was when we marched on Sacramento’s State Capitol to calmly, but loudly request the removal of Gray Davis as Governor of California.
The second…today…was a Tea Party in Dallas, TX. It was an awesome thing. Let me make clear: NO ONE paid me. NO ONE called me to ask me to be there. NO ONE told me what to say. I wore this:
…because I truly feel like I am not allowed to have an opinion in this country unless I am following the sheeple on the left. Of course, if I were a sheeple, maybe I would be given free lunch and paid about $10 an hour for my time on the bus, and to stand with my professionally printed signs and yell predetermined chants supporting something I really don’t even understand, because that’s how this administration wants it. “Close your eyes, and just walk forward…of course we’ll TELL you if you’re in any danger. We’re here to help you…trust us…truuuust us.”
But I am NOT a sheeple. I agree with some things the left is always screaming about. I recycle. I drive a hybrid. I use a water filter instead of bottled water. I want more responsible care for the earth. But you know what? WE don’t have control of that in the WHOLE world. We keep sending jobs overseas…where they don’t give a crap whether they can breathe the air or not, cuz they just wear a mask everywhere anyhow. The left wants to support every country BUT our own. Our textbooks all paint the people involved in US history as a horrible, native slaughtering, slave beating bunch of white men. And many parents don’t bother to read what their kids are being taught or teach them anything themselves, so of course, we have raised a whole generation or three of America hating liberal sheeple. But not me.
I spoke to lots of people today. Surprisingly, no one was being paid to be there. No one I spoke to had been called or asked to come to the party. They saw it was coming, felt a desire to show support and came…on their own. They waved flags…instead of burning them. They sang songs of patriotism and listened to speakers without any rioting, fighting or disruption…except maybe of traffic. There were a lot of people there. Old, young, male, female, many different political parties, veterans in wheelchairs and folks in work clothes, obviously taking time for the rally during a long lunch break. In many cases, like, my own, they parked 10-12 blocks away from the event and walked to the rally…then walked back afterwards. No buses for us. And that’s OK. There was very little to see in the way of opposition, so my friends’ fears of me getting into an altercation, get digits bitten off or end up in jail were all for naught. This time.
I’m not sure it will be safe to go the next time. The ‘communications czar’ [Diversity Czar for the FCC] is a big fan of the Chavez regime, and government takeover of all communications. Who knows what our right to gather will be taken away. But I will go anyway. Don’t get me wrong. I am truly afraid of this administration. This is not the usual day at the beach in the Clinton White House, and it sure as heck isn’t Jimmy Carter. It’s going to be a scary time, this next year or 3. But if we stick to the truth, if we can keep our eyes open and our antenna up for lies…we might be able to get past this and make things right again. Watch and pray, people.
And if you can, go find a Tea Party and express your disgust for this administration and your hope for common sense, positive change.
