[Psycho_Bunny]

lol....My family owned Eureka Health Foods when it was right across the street from there.

[basil]

I didn’t realize that there were 50 Republicans in Eureka. Good for them!

[SoldierDad]

Hopefully they live on a fenced in and patrolled (armed) piece of property - Liberals up there can be dangerous.

[Chgogal]

Hey there! How you doing? : )

[devolve]

[Chgogal]

Well done! : )

[Typical_Whitey]

Someone please explain the difference between what the POTUS is doing to Taxpayers with Stimulus, Omnibus, Budget, taxNtrade and healtcare and what Bernie Madoff did to his clients?

[Typical_Whitey]

T - axed
E - nough
A - lready

Partys are awesome.

[fish hawk]

Eureka is only half lost. Arcata is a total disaster.

[umgud]

bump

[basil]

Unfortunately, I know Arcata, too. One of our daughters went to school out there. I’ve never before (or since) seen such a conglomerate of misfits in one tiny town.

[John123]

Hey! No fair jumping the gun... you should wait until July 4th like all the others...

[Bronzy]

Bernie Madoff = BM
Barack Obama = BO

BOTH STINK

[tubebender]

I got a eMail announcing the meeting this morning but I had to work for my son as he was at planning conference for Big Brothers Big Sisters here in Eureka. Does anyone know how Mike Thompson (D) First District voted yesterday. We will be at the protest next Saturday...

[fish hawk]

It's too bad because Humboldt University has a great Forestry, Oceanography, and Native American Studies programs but the place overall is a swill of Marxism.

[tubebender]

Have you seen Eureka Health Foods new store?

[Psycho_Bunny]

When we owned it, it was accross from the Post Office on H. The people we sold it to, moved it to a larger space on Broadway.

I left in 91 so if it's moved again, no I haven't seen it.

When it was ours, it was a really small store...it's cool to think it's still in business.

[anniegetyourgun]

So, the goal of this teaparty was to send a message to the R’s who voted for this monstrosity? Are they listening? Did they hear you? Do they regret their votes? Are they apologizing for screwing up?

[tubebender]

My wife and her mother shopped at your store across from the Post Office, then the Littlefield's moved to 4th at D for a number of years, then to a new store at Broadway at 15th and then they built the BIG store across 15th where it looks like a Whole Foods clone...

[tubebender]

Are you talking about the 6 RINOs that voted Ya?

[anniegetyourgun]

Sure, although every congress person should have known better than to cast a vote for something they didn’t even read. How many tea parties will we have? Will we still be having them after we have the single-payer healthcare plan they’re going to pass? After the secret union ballot is eliminate? Or maybe after wholesale immigration “reform?” Will we just continue making calls, sending e-mails, and having tea parties - as they continue to roll us?

[tubebender]

Just how would you handle all of this or are you just naysayer with no ideas of your own. This was just to let Mike Thompson D know we are not pleased...

[anniegetyourgun]

That's nice....hope he "got the message."

I've listed ideas here on FR before, but there's no readiness for them at this time. People are content to keep calling, emailing, and getting together for teaparties. I don't think we'll be ever be ready - not even after we have our universal healthcare, ENDA, FOCA, EFCA, hate crimes, immigration.....

[SierraWasp]

Don’t become Snidely Whiplash, now... (grin)

[anniegetyourgun]

I suppose you’re right, but sometimes it takes making people angry to get them to think differently.

[SouthTexas]

So you didn’t make the front page this time eh?

[SierraWasp]

You’re right! There is no source for motivation untils somebody becomes CONCERNED about something... ANYTHING!!!

[popdonnelly]

I think we need a third party. Maybe one can come out of the Tea Party protests.

[tubebender]

I received notice of this gathering at 7;30 this morning as I was headed out to "work". "Work" involves the Saturday morning Donut buy and then on to make the second pot of coffee at "work". It was a hostile labor force today as overtime has been curtailed by what ever means management spells out.

Here is todays Announcement regarding the rally...

[RightWingMama]

Good for Eureka, my home town. Graduated from Eureka High in ‘62. I didn’t think Eureka had any conservatives.

[Karliner]

Wow, I should come into town more, Eureka rocks!

[SouthTexas]

Sometimes work trumps. :(

[glock rocks]

Or, we could just play by their rules.

[4Godsoloved..Hegave]

I think so too, all the RINO’s shall be excommunicated and sent to Third Party Bootcamp immediately.

[4Godsoloved..Hegave]

We keep doing what we need to do till the end. First step, support the ouster of 219 reps that voted for such an atrocity. In no ways should the 8 RINOS ever be able to keep the Republican name in any office they attempt to hole. Grassroots has to deweed these usurpers. Make sure these people never get elected again.

[tubebender]

OK...I forgive you for every bad thing I ever said about you...

[tubebender]

I hope you don’t live in Santa Cruz and post on the Times-Standard Topix discussion board. MY grand kids were 5th generation to graduate from EHS..

[A Navy Vet]

Until you're ready for "civil disobedience" and spend a night in jail for a misdameanor, your Tea Parties are just feel good stuff.

I was on the streets way before most of you now talking all this shit on FR even knew what a bullhorn was.

Make a REAL stand, or don't bother. The time for we-are-good-low-keyed-conservatives is over. TAKE A STAND. Until you do, I will watch the House pass obscene legislation like Cap&Tax as it did yesterday. And you will have your feel-good demonstrations that amount to squat. Next time, chain yourselves to the Capitol steps and make a real point!!!

Remember, a very small group of men back in the 1700's risked their lives (families included); their fortunes; and their sacred Honor to fight against Kind George's tyranny.

How close is this nation becoming to that extreme?

[anniegetyourgun]

Is a 50% turnover in the House the goal of the Tea parties?

[SouthTexas]

Who knows, it just might work. LOL

[tubebender]

I believe a 4 vote swing would have tanked this bill...

[anniegetyourgun]

Do we simply need 4 more conservatives in 2011? No, we need a majority in the House and Senate +8/4 on each side, in order to secure our outcomes. Even with that (which is an impossibility), it may be too late for this nation by then.

What will we do when we have single-payer healthcare, immigration "reform," EFCA, ENDA, hate crimes, elimination of "don't ask-don't tell, and FOCA? And, all of those are likely before we see the swearing in of the 112th Congress.

[4Godsoloved..Hegave]

Never heard that.

Tea Party Protestors are all for accountability and exposure of the truth. It is about time that the average American got their head out of the sand and held their reps. responsible for every vote that was not cast on behalf of the people the rep. represents. The Tea Parties emphasize the above.

[calex59]

Are you talking about the 6 RINOs that voted Ya?

6? Last time I counted there were 8 of the RINO pukes who voted for it.

[calex59]

I think 5 votes. 215 was the number needed for winning they claimed, so 5 votes and it would have been 214 and no deal with 216 on the No side.

[RightWingMama]

Nope. I live in Sacramento.

[wita]

...and remember the three, that didn’t vote, and the Speaker normally doesn’t, but in this case made an exception. That’s four, so only a couple of Rino’s or a couple of dems could have made the difference. It just astounds me for the second time in a month, we have an entire HoR (house of representatives) voting on nothing, zip, zero, nada, thin air, no bill, and above all not read other than what John B. read from the add on part delivered at three in the morning.

In my mind, to pass unread, legislation is worthy of the most severe punishment available. Two hundred and nineteen plus the three who did not vote should be run out of the House on a rail. No trial, the evidence is in. Every vote counts and in this case there is a name attached to each vote.

Worst of all they chose willingly to pass this unread nonstrocity, (sp on porpoise) right in plain view, to hell with the American people, and to Hell with the Constitution of the United States of America. The house challenges the American people to a government duel, for control of the country, and they win without a shot fired.

Estimates on how the calls from constituents were running, was ten to one against. If this figure is close, the mythical bill should have been a non starter. The fact their was no bill should have made it a non starter, the fact that in these financial times, we are going to raise taxes on energy, should have made it a non starter, the slap in the face to the largest and cheapest energy source on the planet and the 5 or 6 states that produce it, should have made it a non starter, the lack of logic, reason, and intelligence evidenced in the original premise, should have made it a not starter, the onerous nature of attempting to tax what is NOT a pollutant, should have made it a non starter, the anger and clamor of the American people should have made it a non starter, the humility honor and general statesmanship of our elected representatives should have made it a not starter. Oh, I think I may have just hit on something.

[SoldierDad]

Been a bit under the weather, but otherwise fine. Robert & Tiffany are expecting twins in February.
