CODE RED RALLY Part 2

The arrogance and disdain our elected officials have for "We the People" astounds me.
When Tea Party Patriots national Coordinator Mark Meckler went to Senator Liebermans office yesterday he was threatened with arrest if he did not leave.


After the Rally, we went into the Russell building to visit Senators Webb and Warner. First stop was Senator Webbs office. The Senator was not there but they had a guest book to sign and leave a message, they also handed out an op ed he wrote in which he said he didn't know how he would vote! Good Grief! His staff did not tell us that there was a round table meeting on another floor with his chief of staff but I found video's of the meeting

Webb's Staff Face the "MOB"

Line outside Webb's office"


Senator Warners office was a different story. When we got to his office we were told the Senator was not there and they didn't know where he was. Someone next to me asked them if they checked under his desk. A little comic relief is always good! We were directed to another room on the third floor where his Chief of Staff was answering questions. It was an exercise in futility and frustration. We were late getting there and the atmosphere in the room was tense.



One woman who spoke said she escaped a communist country to come here and was screaming in frustration and anger that they were destroying this country that she loved and she wanted to know why. She was very moving and many people had tears in her eyes.
When Warners Chief of staff (I did not get his name) spoke he read off talking points. In other words he lied to our faces, denied the reality of the polls and tried to convince us that this was not a takeover of health care.At one point he actually said that this last election was a mandate! I spoke up and reminded him that neither Warner nor Obama ran with the promise of Socialized medicine.

The Senators who did not face their constituents today have NO GUTS

Who Does Allah give a B+ to?

Hint....
she (a) passed the stimulus bill, (b) passed a cap-and-trade bill that’s dead on arrival in the Senate, and (c) passed an ObamaCare bill that’s headed for the trash can once Reid passes something and demands that she ping-pong it, which she may not have the votes to do. During her downtime, she’s repeatedly impugned the patriotism of her opponents. Oh, and she also managed to become one of the most widely loathed politicians in America, to the point where the GOP’s planning to use her instead of Obama as its chief boogeyman in attack ads next fall.

U.S. public debt has risen from 41 to 53 percent of GDP

Over the past year alone, the public debt of the United States rose sharply from 41 to 53 percent of gross domestic product (GDP). Under reasonable assumptions, the debt is projected to grow steadily, reaching 85 percent of GDP by 2018, 100 percent by 2022, and 200 percent in 2038.However, before the debt reached such high levels, the United States would almost certainly experience a debt-driven crisis — something previously viewed as almost unfathomable in the world’s largest economy.

20 States Cut Funding For Mammograms!

Remember when Obama's task force released their recommendations for mammograms?
Well so do 20 states who just cut funding.

Don't hold your breath waiting for Hollywood leftists like Ellen DeGeneres, Christie Brinkley, Andie MacDowell, Christie Brinkley, Cynthia Nixon, Ellen DeGeneres, James Woods, Jennifer Tilly, Marcia Cross, Mimi Rogers and Neil Patrick Harris to be outraged.

Senator Joe Lieberman, American Hero

UPDATE!

What’s the difference between the Mafia and a Hollywood Leftist? …the Mafia doesn’t go after your family.

Taxes are only for the Private Sector!

Federal Employees Owe the IRS over 3 BILLION in UNPAID TAXES they failed to pay in 2008.

* Executive Office of the President (includes the White House): 50 employees owe $812,917;
* U.S. Senate: 231 employees owe $2,469,026;
* U.S. House of Representatives: 447 employees owe $5,809,631;
* U.S. Tax Court: 3 employees owe $39,752;
* Active Duty Military: 27,111 employees $102,474,672.

I've Had Enough of This Nonsense!

HOW ABOUT YOU?
Government Salaries Soar In Bad Times. “Hard times for folks outside of the federal establishment are also good times for Washington politicians with their never-ending thirst for finding new ways of grabbing tax dollars to benefit themselves, members of their families, present or former staff members, friends, or campaign donors. The $448 billion appropriations bill approved last week by the House contained more than 5,000 earmarks, many of which will ultimately benefit the favored few rather than the suffering many. It’s helpful to keep these realities about Washington bureaucrats and politicians in mind the next time one of them steps forward and proposes solving another crisis with billions more tax dollars.”
This recession has been such a boom time for the tax-supported bureaucracy that "federal employees making salaries of $100,000 or more jumped from 14% to 19% of civil servants during the recession's first 18 months -- and that's before overtime pay and bonuses are counted." USA Today was especially struck by the fact that there was only one career federal worker making an annual salary of $170,000 or more at the U.S. Department of Transportation when the current recession began. Today, 18 months later, there are more than 1,600 career employees making that much at Transportation. We can only hope that none of those additional 1,600-plus high-paid workers was responsible for the $2 billion Cash for Clunkers debacle run by the Transportation Department.

BUT WAIT! THERE'S MORE!

D.C. hands out $15M in bonuses despite recession, budget gaps

AND

Democrats plan to allow the government's debt to swell by nearly $2 trillionas part of a bill next week to pay for wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. The amount pretty much equals the total of a year-end spending spree by lawmakers and is big enough to ensure that Congress doesn't have to vote again on going further into debt until after the 2010 elections.

Another Nail in the Coffin of Obamacare


Oops! Turns out Obama's cost-cutting health plan won't save a dime; cheaper to do nothing


Analysts in the Obama administration's Health and Human Services Department reported Friday that the nation's $2.5-trillion annual healthcare tab will not shrink at all under the Democrats' legislative blueprint as being pushed by happy Harry Reid of Nevada, the Democratic leader in the Senate.

Instead, they said, the nation's medical costs will actually grow faster under the new bill than....

...they would if that chatty crowd of Washington spenders did absolutely nothing nada zippo about it. And even if they did pass the existing version for all that money, 24 million Americans would still remain uncovered.

"Although several provisions would help to reduce healthcare cost growth," the report said, "their impact would be more than offset through 2019 by the higher health expenditures resulting from the coverage expansions" to millions more Americans.

How to Defeat Obamacare

Erick Erickson nails it
The healthcare bill violates § 425(a)(2) of the Budget Act, which prohibits consideration of any legislation that contains an unfunded intergovernmental mandate in excess of $69 million per year. If the point of order is raised and sustained, a simple majority may vote to waive the point of order. But the waiver is debatable and thus would presumably require 60 votes to cloture the motion to waive. This would require them to produce 60 votes at a time when they do not have their deal wrapped up yet, once again burning up three days.

On every vote, including on constantly raised points of order, the Republicans should be objecting that the vote total is incomplete – the Democratic Chair will rule that it is complete and the Republicans then appeal and once again force a vote, delaying the process again and again.

The People Speak

Were your kids given an assignment or told to watch "The People Speak" on the History channel tonight? Well, if they were then you need to read this historians review...

Sunday, Dec. 13, the History Channel will air the Matt Damon and Josh Brolin documentary “The People Speak.” It is based on Marxist academic Howard Zinn’s capitalism-bashing, America-hating history textbook, “A People’s History of the United States.” As we all know, celebrities are experts on pretty much everything, and now we don’t have to wait until the Academy Awards speeches in order to know what to think anymore.

The production uses Hollywood celebrities to deliver a self-loathing view of the United States through selective speeches, letters and diaries. Appearing in the show are the usual Bush-bashers: Marisa Tomei, Kerry Washington, Viggo Mortensen, Matt Damon, Benjamin Bratt, Eddie Vedder, Bruce Springsteen, and Josh Brolin, who co-produced it along with Damon.

With the leftists in charge of academia now combining with the mental midgets of the entertainment industry, students will have even less actual knowledge of the United States and more loathing of it.

Hooray for Hollywood.


If your child was given a assignment or was forced to watch this crud, send their teacher a letter. This nonsense from the schools has got to stop.

Don't Get Sick in Obama's America

Harry Reid quietly inserted a loophole in the Senate health care bill that would let insurance companies put limits on medical care for folks struggling with costly illnesses — angering patient advocates, and in apparent violation of a promise made by Obama this fall.

The current bill would allow insurance companies to place annual limits on the dollar value of medical care — provided those limits are not “unreasonable,” a term the legislation doesn’t define.

Anti War Candidate who is now President, Says War is Sometimes Necessary

As he accepts the Nobel Peace Prize for agreeing with our enemies that the USA is bad.

On a side note, Russia shot a ballistic missile over Norway as Obama was getting ready to accept his peace prize and brag about his "successful" negotiations with Russia over missile defense. This is the thanks he gets for throwing Eastern Europe under the bus

Dems Vote to Keep Funding ACORN

Dems Vote to Allow Federal Funding for Corrupt ACORN
by Rep. John Boehner (R-OH)
Last night, Rep. Tom Latham (R-IA) offered an amendment during deliberations on the Democrats’ massive year-end appropriations bill to clarify the prohibition on federal funds going to ACORN or its subsidiaries. That amendment was shot down on a 5-9 party line vote as Republicans sided with taxpayers while Democrats stood with ACORN.

Rep. Latham’s amendment is necessary to prevent taxpayer money from going to ACORN because the Obama Administration’s Department of Justice has taken advantage of a legal loophole to allow ACORN to continue to receive federal funds – despite the passage of the House GOP’s Defund ACORN Act in the fall.

The American people and the Congress have spoken loud and clear: ACORN should be denied any taxpayer funds. Period.

Obama threatens to Destroy US Economy

Pass the Bill I want or I will destroy US economy.

From the Heritage Foundation..
Yesterday, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) ignored our comments and declared carbon dioxide to be a dangerous pollutant under the Clean Air Act—granting itself authority for an enormous, unprecedented regulatory undertaking. Because 85 percent of the U.S. economy operates on fossil fuel, the EPA would essentially have the ability to regulate every aspect of life in America.
And the economic effects of carbon dioxide regulations are grave:
· cumulative gross domestic product (GDP) losses of $7 trillion by 2029,
· single-year GDP losses exceeding $600 billion in some years,
· energy cost increases of 30 percent or more,
· and annual job losses exceeding 800,000 for several years.
This EPA announcement comes on the heels of the Climategate scandal, in which a significant number of emails and other documents from scientists at the Climate Research Unit (CRU) at East Anglia University in the United Kingdom were publicly revealed to show a blatant disregard for the scientific process and at worst a falsification of data . Whether or not these emails and documents demonstrate a deliberate cover-up of scientific data is not yet certain, but it surely is a reason to be further concerned with the notion of scientific consensus on global warming.
But regardless of the science, there is one notion all economists agree on: a cap-and-trade system will hurt our economy. Experts from the liberal Brookings Institution to the independent Congressional Budget Office to the conservative National Association for Manufacturers agree with the Heritage Foundation that taxing American energy would result in fewer jobs and lower income - the only dispute is on just how many fewer jobs and how much less income.
Help us spread the word about the costs of a cap-and-trade system by going to NoEnergyTax.com. There you’ll be able to learn more about cap-and-trade and the EPA’s latest efforts at gaining greater control over our economy. And if you have a Facebook account you’ll be able to sign into our new Facebook application and earn points for the information you share.
Thank you for your continued support of the Heritage Foundation.
Sincerely,

Edwin J. Feulner, Ph.D.

Pakistan Detains Five D.C.-Area Muslims

on Suspicion of Terror
ISLAMABAD – Pakistani police said they arrested five U.S. citizens Wednesday in a raid in the east of the country, but declined to give a reason for the detentions.

December 8: Federal investigators are searching for a Howard University dental student and four other missing Muslim men reported missing from the Washington, D.C. area, the Investigative Project on Terrorism (IPT) has learned. There is concern they may have been sent abroad to train for jihad. The five were last seen November 29.
The identities of two of the missing men, Howard student Ramy Zamzam and Waqar Khan, have been mentioned in online postings, including a Facebook page that was set up Monday for friends to offer their support. Some of those pages, however, appear restricted to friends and associates.
It is not clear where the men are believed to have gone, but an informed source told the IPT that at least one left behind a farewell video.
According to the Facebook and Twitter postings, Zamzam is among the missing. He has been active in the Muslim Students Association, serving as president of the MSA DC Council. A Howard University spokeswoman has not responded to questions from the IPT.

UPDATE: ALL HAVE TIES TO AL QAEDA, all have Proudly admitted that they were in Pakistan for jihad.

HOPE

American voters give President Barack Obama a split 46 – 44 percent job approval, his lowest ever, and both the health care reform package that he wants Congress to pass and his personal rating on handling health care now win support from less than four in 10 Americans, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released today.
Voters disapprove 52 – 38 percent of the health care reform proposal under consideration in Congress, and they disapprove 56 – 38 percent of President Obama’s handling of health care, down from 53 – 41 percent in a November 19 survey by the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh- pe-ack) University. …
“It’s a good thing for those pushing the health care overhaul in Congress that the American people don’t get a vote. At this time, supporters are down 14 percentage points,” said Peter Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute.


The lower Obama's approval rating goes the less likely Democrats will put their political careers at risk by voting for Obama, Pelosi and Reids agenda.
Our fight is not over yet. The Senate is still trying to pass some form of ObamaCare. Please keep calling Webb and Warner.
