Down to the Wire

We are racing towards the finish line with Obamacare. The Great One wants it passed by Easter break. Under no circumstances does he want senators and congressmen to go home to their districts and face the "angry mobs" with the bill un-passed.

If that should happen, one or maybe more might listen to us and decide political suicide is not an option they want to face.

I'm still emailing my senator and congressman. I'm still getting a form letter (Hagan) or no reply at all (Shuler) for my efforts. However, I'm sure some intern is reading our emails and counting the yeas and nays. I haven't tried calling their offices recently... I stopped after it became apparent that all calls were being directed to a full voice mailbox... a not so cute method of ignoring us, but it works.

I have been reading history books (not the biased ones they are using in our schools) and the Constitution during each and every free moment I can find. The more I learn about what the Founder's envisioned for our country and see how far off-track it has been driven; the angrier I become. We are so far left of what the Founder's meant for the United States to be that they would not recognise it.

We have almost lost our republic. I think more and more people are beginning to understand this on some level. I just hope we aren't too late.

Once again, I beg you, call, fax, email, or write a letter to your representatives. Tell them how you feel about this government takeover of our healthcare system. Keep up the pressure.

Let them know that they will be held accountable if they follow Obama's lead and pass the healthcare bill. Let them know that from this point forward they are being watched and watched closely. Let them know that the days of unchecked abuse of power are over.

We are and will continue watching them. We will exercise our right to vote and they will be the next Americans standing in line at the unemployment office

They Won’t Give Up

I've been surfing around this morning catching up on news and commentary. It seems like the president and his henchmen are bound and determined to shove government run health care down our throats. This article for instance:

Democratic congressional leaders hope President Barack Obama's unveiling of his final health care package Wednesday will help resuscitate an effort that seemed all but dead until recently… (snip)…

Now, Democrats are aiming toward a two-step approach. The House would approve a sweeping Senate-passed overhaul bill, then both chambers would make changes in it — like making subsidies more generous — by passing a separate measure.

Democrats would use a fast-track process — called reconciliation — for that second bill that would let them approve it with only a majority of Senate votes. Republicans say that process should not be used for such major legislation and accuse Democrats of subverting the rules, but White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel defended it Tuesday after meeting with top Democrats, calling it "a normal procedure."

What part of "no" don't they understand? We the People have told them over and over that we do not want their program.

I'm sure that the Founding Fathers are standing as close to the pearly gate as possible, shouting, yelling and waving their arms at us to wake up and stop this fiasco and the many other efforts to snatch our country and freedom out from under us.

Whether you like Glenn Beck or not, listen to him and learn what the Founders had in mind when they wrote our Constitution. It wasn't a nanny state, where everything goes to the government only to be doled out to us in tiny bits in return.

No, it was for us to have the freedom to work and work hard to accomplish great things in our individual lives….or to choose not to work hard and live at poverty level if that's all we aspired to! That's what we were given, and it looks like we aren't going to be able to keep it after all.

Every adult and child in this country should grap hold of a good American History book and a copy of the Constitution and the Federalist Papers. Read what those men were thinking and how they envisioned this nation. This, my friends, is not what they saw as our future.

It will require hard work, hardship, and sacrifice to turn our nation back to what She is meant to be. Look at the hardships and turmoil faced by our founders and those brave colonists who said, "We have had enough!" and fought for their freedom. Are we less able to do so than they? Or, are we so spoiled by the nanny state that we no longer have the will to stand up for what is right?

The GOP Should Be Very, Very Careful

After all the times the Democrats have loudly proclaimed that the GOP has no ideas on health care reform; now the Great One wants to have a televised meeting with them to discuss their ideas. Well, DUH.

Does anyone else besides me smell a trap here?

First of all, it needs to be explained to Obama and the dynamic duo (Reid and Pelosi) that we don't want their health care reform. We don't want one speck of the massive wolf-in-sheep's clothing bill intended to take over our lives and economy.

The Republican's have had ideas all along. Here is SC Senator Jim DeMint's plan.

Sens. Coburn and Burr and Reps. Ryan and Nunes have a plan.

And here is House GOP leader Boehner’s health care reform page.

I like Michelle Malkin's idea:

"Here’s an idea: Republicans can tell Obama they’ll participate in his health care summit after he provides transcripts of his backroom meetings with Big Labor/SEIU."

I hope the GOP doesn't get taken in by this obvious trickery. If they do, there may be no hope left.

Lies, Lies, and More Lies

What happened to the promise of televising the Health Care Negotiations on C-SPAN? Obama repeatedly said he would, and you can check these videos to count 8 instances of him doing so.

Even CBS News has taken notice of the issue.

During the campaign, though, candidate Obama regularly promised something different - to broadcast all such negotiations on C-SPAN, putting the entire process of pounding out health care reform out in the open. (That promise applied to the now-completed processing of forging House and Senate bills, too.)

Back when Republicans controlled Congress and George W. Bush was in the White House, it was Democrats who angrily complained about secret backroom deals.

Now the roles are reversed.

The mainstream media needs to play catch-up with the American people. We have known for sometime now that the President is a bald-faced liar. We know he, Pelosi, and Reid and the rest of the corruptocrats are going to pass whatever bills they want, when they want, and We the People can be damned.
