HOT AIR TOUR

AFP Takes Its Hot Air Balloon Tour Cross Country to Expose the Hidden Energy Tax Hike in Cap-and-Trade Legislation

AFP targets key senators in the cap-and-trade debate at grassroots rallies-

-Fourth leg of cross-country “Hot Air Tour” begins August 4th, travels to four states-

As debate on cap-and-trade legislation heats up in Congress, the free-market grassroots group Americans for Prosperity is launching the fourth leg of its 2009 Nationwide Hot Air Tour on August 4th, exposing the extreme economic costs of proposed cap-and-trade legislation to the American taxpayer.

The tour will bring its 70-foot-tall hot air balloon to Monroe, Louisiana, Jonesboro and El Dorado, Arkansas, Sikeston, Missouri and Evansville, Indiana from August 4-6.

“This cap-and-trade scheme is nothing more than a tax on energy- plain and simple,” said AFP President Tim Phillips. “We think American families need to know what these proposals will cost them – lost jobs, even higher energy prices, and less freedom.”

GREAT INSPIRATIONAL VIDEOS!

[mojitojoe]

Kennedy isn’t hiding, he’s trying to stay alive long enough to time his death at the most beneficial time. Probably around the time of the vote on Health care, the thing he most cared about his entire life. *snort*

[baba123]

Lincoln Diaz Balart is taking appointments for August 25 to meet with individuals or groups to talk about the Healthcare bill. His Miami office # is
305-470-8555.

[Dubya-M-DeesWent2SyriaStupid!]

The town halls start out as a senator/congresscritter reading a speech from a table and then when questions are opened up to the floor the senator/congresscritter cannot answer and it most likely turns into a chanting protest for answers.

Before the townhall meeting, alot protest. (See the videos I posted in my last post)
There are also protests at senators/congresscritters offices if they do not have a townhall.

Is there an organized version of that list? It’s not alphabetical by state or congressman, nor is it searchable.

[hoosiermama]

FYI (also FOX: Senator Dodd has been diagnosed with prostate cancer....How old is he? Will the treatment be worth it?)

[LucyT]

The house pulled a fast one and got the farm bill passed last night.... Also known as Scorched Earth bill - formally known as Monsanto bill....

All small farmers need to be aware of the consequence if it passed Senate in the form it is currently in....

(we will all be affected.... It took ten years to undo the ALaska fishing bill under CLinton in the mean time many fishing families lost their business.)

[Flint]

Howard Coble R-NC has “No Events” on his calendar. He has an office in Greensboro and several other towns in NC. I hope there is some organized effort to let him know what we think.

[Jeff Head]

Go to the TownHalls armed to the teeth with information about the Health Care bill.

Here is a link to the full House Democrat Health Care Plan in PDF. In Section 1233 E & F, pages 426-433, you find the part about mandatory end-of-life counseling for anyone over 65 years of age. Section 152 Page 50: All healthcare services will be provided without regard to "personal characteristcs" which is not defined within the document but is understood to include immigration status.

Section 224 b Page 125: The Secretary shall design and implement the payment mechanisms and policies under this section in a manner that — (1) seeks to (B) reduce health disparities (including racial, ethnic and other disparities).

A lot more provisions now being documented at that site.

Donwload it, read it, study it, then hammer your reps over it and pass it on to all you know asking them to do the same.

Also, here's a large image of the Democratic (Obama) Health Plan chart-another Obama empty promise. This is the one the House democrats are censuring. Email these links or the image to everyone you know.

Decmocrat (Obama) Health Plan

Obama and all those pushing his radical agenda are abject marxist ideologues. Their "fundamental; change" is nothing more than a destruction of the American free market and fundamental republican principle.

"Is there an organized version of that list? It’s not alphabetical by state or congressman, nor is it searchable."

No sorry. The list on the teaparty website is what I have so far.

Others are starting to post more Townhalls here on this thread as they call their Congressmen and check out their websites.

[KansasGirl]

Dennis Moore-KS (Pelosi’s House blue lap dog) has not scheduled an event. He is supporting HR 3200.

Check out all the lies on his website about the HR 3200.

I like this one especially:

Would members of Congress be exempt from the laws and requirements included in this bill, or others like it?

NO! Just as each American citizen will be entitled to keep their current coverage if they like it, members of Congress will be entitled to keep theirs. If a member of Congress would prefer to take advantage of the new public health option, then they are entitled to do that as well. This bill will not hold members of Congress to different standards.
