This short clip clearly demonstrates President Obama’s lack of understanding and concern for hard working Americans.

He is totally committed to the extreme environmental lobby, without concern for the effect on American business, workers, and taxpayers. We must keep up the pressure to block continued attempts to enact any form of Cap and Trade.

Senator Leahy made a motion to table the E-Verify amendment. The motion to table was successful – the count was 50-47, thereby killing the program.

No Republican Senator voted in favor of the motion to table, and there were seven Democrats that refused to follow the liberal line set by Leahy and Reid, and voted against the motion to table.

Please take time to thank your Senators that voted against tabling, and express your disappointment to any Senator that voted to table.

The E-Verify amendment did not make it to the Senate floor yesterday, and the authorization and funding has expired.
However, the Appropriations Bill was not passed and the debate will continue on Monday. This means that the amendment #604 by Jeff Sessions (R-AL) can still be brought to the floor if the Democrats allow. We must continue to contact our Senators to push for reauthorization of E-Verify.

Regarding my calls to Ohio Senators George Voinovich and Sherrod Brown:
Senator Sherrod Brown (D-OH) – I called his Washington number, 1-202-224-2315, and after a couple rings it forwarded to a recorded response stating that the Senator was receiving a large volume of calls and if I wanted to comment I should go to his website. There was no other option, and the call was disconnected. I DID leave a pleasant message on his website.

Urgent! E-Verify will expire today if the Senate does not take action.

E-Verify is a tool that allows businesses to quickly check the citizen and immigration status of potential workers. Harry Reid and other Democrats have been blocking this bill from reaching the floor. There is no legitimate reason to let E-Verify die. Without this system there is no practical way for employers to check employee status.

The Democrats do not want us to know who the illegal aliens are. Especially in these economic times, we do not want to make it easier for illegal aliens to take jobs away from American citizens.

We may have lost the ‘Stimulus’ battle, but now is not the time to surrender. Many conservatives woke up and fought hard to oppose the stimulus bill, just as we did with the immigration bill a couple years ago. We are fighting greater odds now, but that just means we need to fight harder. We will have constant challenges over the next two years, as the liberals know this is the best chance they have ever had to advance their extreme agenda. We must hold our ground until we can muster reinforcements in congress with the 2010 elections.

Back in August of 2008, during the campaign, candidate Obama pushed for a $50 billion economic stimulus plan .   At the time, that seemed like a huge amount of money, and to many it looked to be an overt transfer of wealth.   Well, we now understand that $50 billion was mere pocket change.

The Senate just approved their version of the economic ‘stimulus’ bill this afternoon.   The cost of the bill is currently estimated at around $850 billion dollars, and is nearly 800 pages long. That is slightly more than one billion dollars per page.   Sounds quite harmless, doesn’t it?   We have been so conditioned over the last few months to accepting these huge numbers that the real meaning doesn’t even register.   But how many of us can even comprehend the enormity of such figures.

What does $850 billion look like? How do we understand what these numbers mean?   If we write it out, it looks like this – $850,000,000,000.   A big number, but still meaningless.    So how do we understand how much money we are talking about? Let me give you an example.

First I must remind you that these are your hard earned tax dollars that we are talking about.

I have tried many ways to demonstrate the amount of our money in this ’stimulus’ bill and have settled on one that is easily visualized and allows you to get a real grasp on what $850 billion really looks like.

The Department of the Treasury sets the thickness of all United States currency (bills) at .0043 inches .   That means that there are 232.6 bills in a one inch stack (1/.0043).

Let’s assume those are all $20 bills,
meaning the one inch stack of bills would be worth $4,660 (233 x $20)

Now it is time for us to do a little experiment.   Knowing that the one inch stack of bills is worth roughly $4,660, and without trying to calculate or think too hard, how high would the stack be to equal $850 billion dollars?   After you have made your estimate, continue reading for the answer.

Regarding the story: Three RINOs Move Left to Support the Stimulus

I want to thank everyone that has stepped up and contacted these three RINOs, as well as their own senators.  I hope you are also relaying this message to all of your personal contacts, and telling everyone you know that they must let their voices be heard on this critical issue.  We must try to turn these three senators.  I know it appears that I have become stuck on one issue here, but how we react to this situation will greatly affect the direction of our Country going forward.

The Democrats are desperate to have this bill labeled as bipartisan because it will not work and they know it.  They realize that it is much more special interest and pork than stimulus.  They need to be able to call it bipartisan.  The Democrats realize that the bill they crafted is destined to pass, with or without Republican support.  When this bill eventually passes we will be forced to ’share the wealth,’ but we should not volunteer to ‘Share the Blame.’

Last night three ‘Republican’ senators broke with their colleagues to support the ’stimulus’ bill. They say they can now support the bill since it was trimmed from somewhere over $900 billion to around $800 billion.
Thanks for easing our pain!
What happened to that ban on torture?

It is very important that everyone contact these senators. This is now being touted as a ‘bipartisan’ bill, with a ‘consensus’ of the senators in support. Three ‘left of RINO’ senators does not equal bipartisan!
