Liberal policies always result in the exact opposite of their intended result.

The campaign to demoralize Sarah Palin by character assassination and frivolous lawsuits before the next election

has instead resulted in Sarah Palin resigning as Governor and as the stationary target of choice of the Mainstream Media.

Now she has the independence to become the left's worst nightmare come true, a charismatic conservative who will be heard.

President Obama credits the $787 billion stimulus bill with saving 100,000 jobs.

 

 

That is $7.87 Million per job "saved".

 

 

President Obama, please send me a check for half that, and you won't need to save my job!

 


 

89 Year Old Liberal White House Reporter slams Obama administration for manipulating the media.


 

Have you Heard ...

 

That before the vote on Cap and Trade the Obama Administration suppressed

information about an EPA report that debunks the Global Warming Hoax?

 

It's true!  Read it here.

 

If the New York Times can publish secret documents about national security, we can publish secret documents about the statists in our government!

 

The Cap and Trade bill itself?  Here.

 


 

YOUR ACTIONS HAD A LARGER IMPACT THAN YOU REALIZE

 

The final vote was 219 - 212 in favor of the Cap & Trade bill.

 

  • 8 Republicans crossed over to vote in favor of Cap & Trade (if only 6 had, we would have won)
  • 2 Republicans did not vote
  • All Ohio Republican Congressman voted against Cap & Trade

 

  • 44 Democrats crossed over to vote against Cap & Trade (we only needed 39, if there were no RINO's)
  • 1 Democrat did not vote

 

Because a "Constitutional Majority" is necessary for passage of a bill in the U.S. House of Representatives, the Cap and Trade bill passed by only 2 votes.  A "Constitutional Majority of the 434 member House of Representatives is 50% +1 or 218.  Two Republicans and one Democrat did not vote.  That is why Speaker Pelosi had two Democrats who were away from Washington apprehended, and brought back to the capitol for the vote.

 

 

This legislation now moves to the Senate, where we have much better odds of defeating it. 

 

It is still important to educate the public on why this vote was important, and what their elected representatives did.  

 

Educating the public about Cap and Trade is the most effective thing you can do to ensure its defeat in the Senate. 

 


 

Thank you for all your phone calls, emails, faxes and personal visits to your Congressman. 

 

 

  • Please extend your compliments to Charlie Wilson, Ohio Democrat who voted against the bill

 

  • Please acknowledge Dennis Kucinich, Ohio Democrat who said he voted against the bill because it wasn't radical

              enough (?)

 

  • Please extend the opposite to Marcy Kaptur who leaned against the bill and then crumbled; as well as Boccieri,  

              Driehaus and Kilroy, first term Congresspersons who should be serving their last term

 

  • Please extend the opposite to Sutton and Space as well, obedient and loyal servants of Speaker Pelosi, not the 

              faithful representatives of the people in Ohio who elected them, or their best interests.

It Will Be Highly Susceptible to Fraud and Corruption
It Will Hurt Senior Citizens, the Poor, and the Unemployed the Worst
It Will Cost American Families Nearly $3,000 a Year

HELP STOP ACORN!

 

US Representative Michele Bachmann (R-Minnesota.) has introduced new legislation (The Taxpayer Protection and Anti-Fraud Act) that would prevent federal government funding of “community activist” groups (think ACORN) that have previous indictments.  Here’s more information on the legislation:

 

http://michellemalkin.com/2009/06/05/sign-the-acorn-petition/

 

And here’s the petition for you to sign (addressed to Speaker Nancy Pelosi) in order to show your support and get the legislation to the US House of Representatives for a vote.  PLEASE SIGN THE PETITION HERE:

 

http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/TaxDollars/

 

This doesn’t solve the ever encroaching socialism and collectivism that currently envelops Washington, but it’s a great start. 

PLEASE SUPPORT THIS INITIATIVE BY SIGNING THE PETITION.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


The battle is already won.  All that we have to do is claim victory and get back to our conservative roots.

Recent (6/15/2009) Gallup poll shows Americans identifying themselves as Conservative outnumber those identifying themselves as Liberal almost 2 to 1.

The percentages are 40% to 21% with 35% calling themselves moderate.

Hot Issues

 

Sonya Sotomayor's nomination for the Supreme Court - contact your Senator again and again.  Contact info here.

 

Nationalized Healthcare - rationing care for older people, doing for our health care system what Obama has done for GM

 

Energy Policy - Cap & Trade - HR2454 - Make GE filthy rich selling windmills, even they can keep MSNBC "nice" to Obama

 

Mandatory Union Membership - Card Check

 

Budget - Even Obama says it is "unsustainable" - Nearly every country in Europe as well as China agree with that assessment

 

FOCA - repeal of all existing regulations inhibiting abortion

 

HR 2749 - Food "Safety" Act - the White House wants to decide what you can eat

 

2nd Amendment infringement (HR45) - lacking co-sponsors

 

Why aren't these flying through the one-party Congress and White House?  Because politicians can count, even if GE's subsidiary, MSNBC won't.  They saw the Tea Party's.  They see the growing numbers of conservatives and conservative groups.  They get your phone calls, your emails, and your letters.  And they are beginning to worry more about you and your Friends And Neighbors, and less about what Obama, Pelosi, Reid and the mainstream media. 

 

Now go out and invite one more Friend or Neighbor to join you at a conservative event near you!  And keep on producing those  phone calls, emails and letters!
