TEA PARTY EXPRESS CONDEMNS HEALTHCARE VOTE BY CONGRESS

"Shame On Them" Says Tea Party Leaders

 

"We're Going to Vote Them Out of Office in 2010"

 

(ON THE ROAD FROM LAFAYETTE, LA)  -- The leadership of the Tea Party Express (website: http://www.TeaPartyExpress.org) tonight denounced the vote by the House of Representatives (220-215) to pass a healthcare bill that includes a government-run component.

 

"Shame on them!  Congress chose once again to defy the will of the people who have spoken out at tea parties and town halls against this big government plan, because the politicians cared more about growing the size, power and control of government than what the people wanted," said Mark Williams, Co-Chair of the Tea Party Express.

 

"The politicians forget that the Constitution begins with the words,  'We The People,' not 'We the Government.'  The people have made it clear they did not want this quasi-socialistic plan, and since they haven't gotten the message then in 2010 we're going to be handing out pink slips to these politicians.  Enjoy your final days in office, and start searching the want-ads for a new job, because we're going to vote you out of office," said Deborah Johns, Co-Chair of the Tea Party Express.

 

The Tea Party Express is currently conducting a national cross-country tour holding tea party rallies in 40-cities across the country to defeat the efforts to impose a government-run healthcare plan and other related issues.

 

On Sunday the Tea Party Express will hold rallies in Baton Rouge, LA and Jackson, MS, and will continue through the southeast.  On Tuesday, November 10th the Tea Party Express will hold a giant rally in Beaufort, SC headlined by Congressman Joe Wilson.

Last night Congress betrayed us.  Not only did the House of Representatives ignore our calls, emails, tea parties and town halls, but they did so in the process of pushing through the Pelosi-Obama socialistic, Big-Government healthcare fraud.

And friends, this is why we are on the road right now with the "Tea Party Express: Countdown to Judgment Day."  Our whole point has been to send the message that if Congress is going to defy "We the People" and defy the constitutional principles of what our government should do - and what it should NOT do - then "We the People" are going to vote these politicians out of office and take our country back.

So here's the deal - we've got 5 days left of this current "Tea Party Express" tour and we need to grow our crowds, and turn up the heat.  We've now got to stop the Senate from moving forward on the Obama-Pelosi bill.

Here's the update on where our grand finale stretch of rallies (including one featuring Congressman Joe Wilson).  Please do what you can to come out and join us for one of these events - here's our schedule: http://www.teapartyexpress.org/tour-schedule-2/

Great. But shouldn't we drag them out of office now?

Go Tea Party Expressers. You might just be our only earthly hope.

Crowds Turn Out To Protest Healthcare Vote

Rallies to Continue Today and Next 4 Days

 

 

(ON THE ROAD FROM BATON ROUGE, LA)  -- Thousands of people are turning out at rallies to protest last night's House vote for government-run healthcare.

 

The Tea Party Express (website: http://www.TeaPartyExpress.org) has seen an outpouring of support since the vote, and fired up crowds are turning out to denounce the actions by Congress in the middle of the night - while a nation was still grieving the loss of life from the recent mass shootings at Ft. Hood, TX and Orlando, FL.

Thanks invisible hand, we are doing all we can. I think it will be effective. Heck, it already is!

Someone gave us some bookmarks with the statement "Our Founding Fathers would have done something by now."

Unfortunately we can't "drag" them out of office, but the millions of people that won't let the leftists boil them slowly like frogs will get them out IMO.

LIConFem, nice try.

One issue individuals aren't effective usually.

If you want to only concentrate on defunding the Fed (a good idea) start a political PAC, raise some money, and do something effective. Set up a "Defund The Fed" tour.

The last Tea Party Exress helped bring 1.5 million peopld to DC to let our government know we ain't gonna take it anymore.

Of course Bill O'Reilly and the MSM said about 75,000 were there.

Is that where you get your "inaffectual bunch" comment from?

Widen your view and get out and do something!

The tea parties have failed. We are still stuck with the Communist agenda. No pint in even having a team party now. Cap and Tx and 0bama care are law. America is a hoplessly left country. The Conservative movement is defeated and dead.

Congrats to the leftist majority in this country. You wanted the hip and cool black President, you got him. You wanted cap and tax, you got it. You wanted government run business, you got it. You wanted 0bamacare, you got it.

Me, I am about to check out. I’d rather die than live under tyrany and Communist rule. Hopefully where ever I end up I get to watch all you the voted for this President and this congress suffer at their hands for a very long time.

So long America.

Voting them out after the fact won’t change the course. It might delay some of the more egregious aspects of this debacle, but it won’t alter the destination. I hope the Senate will wake up, but I doubt it.

It’s sad really. This nation has long forgotten the role of government as defined by the founding fathers and outlined in the federalist papers, which was the key to our success. We have become a bunch of wimpy, self-entitled whiners, eager to parrot the pseudo-compassionate, bleeding heart pablum that’s been force-fed since birth. The upcoming generation is illiterate and blind to the notions of integrity and self-reliance. I never, ever thought I would see this day 30 years ago. This false pride is going to be washed into the sewer with the rest of this once great nation if people don’t wake up and stand up for the ideals which once raised this country above all others.

Common sense ain’t so common anymore.

Your whole post is hypocritical and anti American

"Me, I am about to check out. I’d rather die than live under tyrany(sic) and Communist rule."
So you are going to quit.

That's ok, most of the people in this country were afraid to confront King George and wanted to give up.

A few Patriots fought for them to be free.

If you stick around, we will fight for your freedom too.

Then you can come out of hiding and live in our Constitutional Republic.

America won't die. The will have to pry freedom from our cold dead hands.

Ain't gonna happen.

Thanks for letting the world know where you stand.

I hear you Syncro, but nothing seems to be working. They fight with cannons, we fight with tea parties. It think it’s time we moved outside our comfort zone and try some stronger tactics. We must starve the beast, go Galt, and I mean really go Galt. STARVE THEM!

“Your whole post is hypocritical and anti American”

I disagree. I’ll admit it’s defeatist, but not hypocritical. Maybe it’s anti-America....anti CURRENT America. The America that is now a Coummunist country

“If you stick around, we will fight for your freedom too.”

We’ve tried fighting. We written our congress people. We’ve gone to tea parties. We’ve mached on Washington. They still passed everything we opposed. They either don’t care or their internal polling shows a majority of America wants these laws. Let’s face it, 0bama is still highly popular with a majority of Americans. He still enjoys approval ratings well above 50% in most polls and personal favorable ratins near 70%. I’ve just come to believe that America has just taken a hard shift left, that most people want all these things. They want to be cared for by their government. Maybe they don’t realize what it means to be wards of the state, but they are about to find out how miserable it is. By the time they do find out, it’s to late. The State controls everything. There is no going back.

If I’m wrong, then offer me some evidence that I am wrong. Give me some hope we can win. We said we’d stop the Bush/Paulson bailout. It didn’t happen. We said we’d stop the 0bama stimulus, it didn’t happen. We’d said we’d stop Cap and Tax. It didn’t happen. We’d said we’d stop 0bama/Pelosi Care. It didn’t happen. We have absolutely nothing to show for our efforts.

I’m tired. I’m beat. I’m run down. I’m tired of fighting the good fight when there is no hope of victory.

Sorry. Call me defeatist. Call me anti-American. Call me whatever you like. I’m done with this crap. I hate these people in charge, I hate everyone that voted for them and I hate everyone that supports them. May they all rot in the hell that is soon to be USSA, or 0bama Nation or whatever the new name of this country will be.

I’ll say it again—it’s not too late till you hear the sound of the the labor camp gates clanging shut.

Whatever you can think of to do, do it.

I'm doing this, and think it is doing some real good.

They will NOT take this country from us.

Constitutionally we can remove them. It clearly states that what they are doing can be stopped by changing the government.

Revolution is happening right now, and in their mistaken ego driven actions they will eventually cross the final line and be dealt with when they get in our faces with their final surge of oppression.

I've seen thousands (ok millions) of people that are ready to not sit on the sidelines anymore.

Because you lose at the ballot box, does not mean you get to resort to bullets.

We are a nation of law. This may become an issue of bullets but that time is not yet.

Yeah, we are a nation of laws, but not a nation of sheep. We have a right AND responsibilily to stand up for our Constitution and the Bill of Rights. To refuse to do is is cowardice, plain and simple.
