Obama on His Cap and Trade PlanPosted by: tmc32 in Legislation, Politics, President ObamaThis 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. As I have mentioned numerous times in previous posts, we need to become activists in order to counter attempts to move our country to the extreme left. In the next four years we will encounter many battles to protect the freedoms and beliefs that have made America such a great nation. We can no longer just sit back and expect that ‘everything will be OK.’ Those of us that have been active before must become more diligent, those that have been in the background must step forward. Our power is in numbers, and many more must wake up and accept their responsibility.
Look around at what we see on television, in commercials, movies, the Hollywood elite, the internet, the mainstream media, and from our ‘leaders’ in Washington. It is easy to feel that we are surrounded by a declining culture and government, and there is no escape. Glenn Beck has envisioned and organized a national movement he calls “We Surround Them.” The idea is to bring together people of similar values and beliefs to demonstrate the fact that each of us is actually surrounded by people of like values. The declining culture does not surround us, but ‘We Surround Them.’ This and other movements such as the ‘National Tea Party’ movement are emerging and catching fire all across the country. They are being organized and promoted by ordinary citizens that are beginning to realize what liberal interest groups have known for two generations. A large number of ordinary citizens joining together to express a common concern will have a noticeable impact on the media, politicians, and the general public perception. Attendance at these early events are important to the continued growth and influence of the new ‘Conservative Activism.’ Attend one of these early events and learn the pride and satisfaction of exercising your right and responsibility to have your voice heard in our Representative Republic. Your children will thank you! Tomorrow is the first national ‘We Surround Them’ event. Individual simultaneous events are planned all across the country. Remember that power is in numbers and your attendance at these events is important. Please use the links below to learn more about these efforts and to find an event near you. What is ‘We Surround Them’? 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.

Support the Tea Party MovementPosted by: tmc32 in Politics, President Obama, Take ActionWhy a New American Tea Party Movement?Nearly 47% of popular votes in 2008 went to McCain / Palin. Barack Obama did NOT receive a mandate to “remake” America! We must protect the Constitution and the America that the Founders envisioned. Too many Americans have sacrificed too much over the last 235 years for our generation to hand this country over to those that want to “remake” America! We need to unite and become activists to save America as we know it.
The Tea Party movement began with a February 19th ‘rant’ by CNBC’s Rick Santelli on the Stock Market floor. His remark urging modern tea parties has caught fire across America. Santelli’s Tea Party ‘Rant’ Please support and participate in any Tea Parties in your local area. If there are none scheduled, take the lead and organize one. There have already been several successful demonstrations in Chicago, Washington, St. Louis, Philadelphia, and other cities. There is a Tea Party planned for Sunday, March 15th at 3:00 pm on Cincinnati’s Fountain Square. Follow the links below to learn more about this ‘Tea Party’ demonstration. Looking forward to participating and seeing everyone on the 15th! This is just the beginning!
However, if you have worked hard enough to earn over $100,000 per year your portion of that bill will be closer to $16,000. And if you happen to earn in excess of $200,000 your ‘fair share’ of this Stimulus ‘Bill’ will likely be over $50,000. The tax data used here are taken from US Census records, and can be found at the following link: This bill is not about economic stimulus. It is about expanding government, special interests, and to pay back political favors. The root of this economic collapse was government meddling in the banking industry, mandating or encouraging unsustainable changes to lending rules to satisfy a political constituency. Now many of those same politicians that helped create the problem are ramming through the same types of ’solutions’ that got us here in the first place. There is much more ‘Bill’ here than there is Stimulus. Here is a link where you can find the full text of the ‘Stimulus’ Bill as it was sent to the Senate. I have posted the text and audio of President Obama’s Inauguration speech, but will offer only limited general comments at this time. Over the last eight years many on the left have refused to address President Bush by his rightful title, referring to him merely as “Bush” or in more derogatory terms. I will not disrespect the dignity of the office and will refer to our current president as President Obama. I hope and pray that he enacts policies that are consistent with the constitution and the principles of the founding fathers, and will support him when he does. However, my expectations are not high and I will strongly oppose him when he does not adhere to the oath that he took today to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States. I found many conflicts in his inaugural speech, and want to take some more time analyzing the text before commenting in detail. In my opinion the quality of this speech fell far short of what we have come to expect from Barack Obama. I am confident that he has not suddenly become a fan of President Reagan, and realize that we will once again have to closely parse the President’s words and rummage through the fluff and camouflage to try to determine the true thoughts behind the words. It will certainly be an interesting four years! Tags: inauguration, obama, president, Reagan, speechObama Inauguration SpeechMy fellow citizens, I stand here today humbled by the task before us, grateful for the trust you have bestowed, mindful of the sacrifices borne by our ancestors. I thank President Bush for his service to our nation, as well as the generosity and cooperation he has shown throughout this transition. Forty-four Americans have now taken the presidential oath. The words have been spoken during rising tides of prosperity and the still waters of peace. Yet, every so often the oath is taken amidst gathering clouds and raging storms. At these moments, America has carried on not simply because of the skill or vision of those in high office, but because We the People have remained faithful to the ideals of our forbearers, and true to our founding documents. So it has been. So it must be with this generation of Americans. |
