Obama to Blue Dogs, "'YOU'RE GOING TO DESTROY MY PRESIDENCY"
National Journal/The Lid ^ | 7/22/09 | The Lid

Posted on 07/22/2009 9:21:45 AM PDT by Shellybenoit

The other day, the President bashed Senator DeMint for making the Obamacare battle personal:

one Republican senator said — and I'm quoting him now — "If we are able to stop Obama on this, it will be his Waterloo. It will break him."Think about that. This is not about me. This is not about politics. It is a health care system that is breaking America's families.

Many of the Democratic/liberal groups like MoveOn and the DNC are using the DeMint statement for fund raising.

Here's the little secret the Democrats don't want you to know, The President Agrees with DeMint. In a meeting with Blue Dogs last week he complained, 'You're going to destroy my presidency. "

No kidding, if the Blue Dogs help to stop this mess I will find the nearest one and treat them to dinner.

The mileage on DU alone would be worth it..

I would not count on them in the house either but there might just be enough support in the senate for a filibuster...

That poster is great.

Went to an indoor range last night and their poster at the door was a picture of Zero and the words "Salesman of the Year".

The Blue Dog Democrats (self-described as fiscal conservatives, and some are somewhat socially conservative as well) are beginning to jump ship on Obama’s monster health scheme. Let’s give them every possible encouragement.

Here's the official list of Blue Dog Democrats. The links will take you to their EMail Communication Form pages. (I’ll get the rest soon: I’m workin’ on it.)

Keep in mind that they rightly make a priority of responding to people in their own districts. If you have any pretext for using an address in their particular state (e.g. your mama lives in their district) please do so: you’ll get a higher level of attention.

Following this list is a sample letter I offer for your consideration.

Now go get ‘em!

SAMPLE LETTER

Dear Representative,

I urge you to vote AGAINST the so-called Health Care Reform which would

Any solution must increase, not decrease, vigorous competition among private insurance and healthcare providers. Only competition provides effective pressure for greater efficiencies. Only competition ensures that services will be provided in the way, the amount, and the manner that we, the people (the "health consumers") actually want. The proposed health-care “public insurance option” is a major threat to every family's ability to make decisions about health and disability, life and death.

But --- government health care?

With all the efficiency of FEMA and all the compassion of the IRS?

Please. Just Say No.

I cannot speak for all of these characters but I can tell you that Loretta Sanchez (the person who defeated B-1 Bob Dornan) is a big time liberal across the board.

I agree. But work on her, because some of the Blue Dogs are clearly defecting. And we need every dog we can get.

Politics isn't always the art of the likely: more often, it's the art of the "barely possible."

___________________________________________

Tune into Plains tonight, July 22. Ken Dunbar will have as his guest, renouned Canada Free Press writer, J B Williams. Mr. Williams is the author of the article, ‘Are YOU afraid of Obama?’.
He will discuss the bc issue and predictions of ‘civil war’.

http://www.plainsradio.com/radio.html

From Williams’ article in Canadian Free Press:

http://canadafreepress.com/index.php/article/12999
(snip)
Every member of the Supreme Court, every member of congress, every member of the Joint Chiefs, most members of the DOD, CIA, FBI, Secret Service and state run media, ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, PBS, NPR, MSNBC, Fox and print news, knows that Barack Hussein Obama does NOT meet Article II – Section I constitutional requirements for the office he holds. By his own biography, there is NO way he can pass the test. The hard evidence is so far beyond overwhelming, it is ridiculous.
(snip)
But not ONE member of America’s most powerful people will dare confront Obama and his anti-American cabal on the subject. The Constitution does NOT stand.
(snip)
If Americans won’t let leftists have their country, the left will burn it and leave it in ruins. There is no peaceful way out of the corner leftists have placed Americans in… Congress, the courts, even the military brass and law enforcement, will do nothing to save this country. The state run media complex is running interference. The American people are on their own here…
(snip)
Half of the people you expect to stop this insanity are quiet co-conspirators in the silent coup. The other half is paralyzed by fear, motivated only by political self-preservation.
(Snip)
Americans keep asking what they can do because they see that none of their leaders are doing anything to stop the demise of their beloved country. It’s the right question, because those leaders are NOT going to stop this thing.
(Snip)
Who will save Freedom?
A brave few… This is how it was in the beginning, how it has always been and how it will be.
(Snip)
Orly Taitz, Phil Berg and Gary Kreep, all of whom have made defending the Constitution and the American way of life a personal ambition, in the absence of any constitutional leadership.
(Snip)
A precious few, but they exist… and the walls are indeed closing in on Obama and his evil cabal. If the American people fail to get behind these brave few who are seeking peaceful redress, all peaceful options will evaporate as if they never existed. We will return to a pre-1776 America overnight

thank you for this,
I am working my way though this list and have had to make some calls to DC.
The rep in FL was very good as he heard my accent(British accent) and asked how the UK health care was.
I told him how it does not work, how the waiting list is awful and how the money /cost is

So far half way

I hope all the others on here are doing the same as you can bet the move on, KOS, huff post are pressuring them too.

no problem I am doing everything I can to defeat this.
NO use coming on here moaning about bozo and the lefts agenda and then never doing anything.
You took the time out to get these names, others have given their life to protecting this country and letting us have a free country.
The least we can do is make a call or 30 and send mail in.

Seniors need to know that their medicare will be cut too as my dopey mother in law in MA(figures) thinks no cuts will be made to her medicare
AARGGHH

For the others making calls and mailing
make sure you have an address in some cases
for instance the FL rep never asked but the one in the NY area asked for an address and zip code

map quest is on overdrive right now for these addresses and zip’s
