We are calling everyone that is able to come to Washington, DC on March 16th, 2010 for one last push against Obamacare. We will meet at the Cannon building at 9am and speak with as many representatives as possible, encouraging them to vote NO on this version of health care reform.
This could be interesting... imagine thousands of people showing up to "storm" the Cannon building and other House buildings on the morning of March 16th...
I hope 2012 reveals a MASS PURGING of these so-called Washington DC leaders.
Customers will pay big for health fix: insurers
The WSJ Guide to ObamaCare. A comprehensive collection of our editorials. "
Not to be a buzzkill but it happened last November. The Capitol Police closed off the buildings and allowed access only after a thorough security check thus slowing the onslaught of patriots to a trickle. Canon was locked down to only one entrance IIRC. Thousands of people outside - dozens of people inside. Kinda' like a big townhall.
I learned about this event from Michelle Malkin... she briefly mentioned it last night on Hannity's Fox News TV show.
WE. MUST. STOP. OBAMACARE!!!
Wish I could be there too.
Here's a related thread with some more information:
Critical Action Alert to stop the March Madness! [Update # 9]
Friends:We have stopped this government takeover of health care so far. We are now in overtime and our opponent has the ball on the goal line ready to score! Are you going to walk away now or are you going to stand strong and defend your position so we can win this game? It is our game to win, but it is going to take all of us standing shoulder to shoulder. The time is now or never! We will never have this opportunity again. Next Tuesday, on March 16th, the people of this country will once again flood...
I learned about this event from Michelle Malkin... she briefly mentioned it last night on Hannity's Fox News TV show.
WE. MUST. STOP. OBAMACARE!!!
and not a single reporter from the MSM will be there to tell the lemmings about it...
We must also organize and send these Fascists packing in November.
Pointless? B/S!
The Tea Party and Townhall protests are the only reason they haven’t already passed this Democrat/Marxist boondoggle. The Democrats fear the wrath of the people! Keep the pressure on!!
When the people fear the government we have tyranny.
When the politicians fear the people we have Liberty!!
Resistance to tyranny is obedience to God!!
Rebellion is brewing!!
Diogenesis, I might have found a new article for your list:
Obama’s cousin (a doctor) savages ObamaCare:
http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2010/mar/11/obama-family-health-care-fracas/
Dr. Milton R. Wolf is a radiologist in Kansas. He is Barack Obama’s second cousin once removed. President Obama’s great-great grandfather, Thomas Creekmore McCurry, is Dr. Wolf’s great-grandfather. Dr. Wolf’s mother, Anna Margaret McCurry, was five years older than Mr. Obama’s mother, Stanley Ann Dunham. The two were childhood friends until the Dunhams moved from Kansas to Seattle in 1955.
“See the FreedomWorks website for more information.”
On March 21 SEIU is calling for thousands to do the same in D.C. Only they will be asking for ObamaCare AND Amnesty for illegal aliens.
Unfortunately FreedomWorks can’t do the same...they are PRO-AMNESTY!
“The key word is “storm”. If you are not willing to do that, it is pointless. The only way to stop the action is to stop the congress. “
I ABSOLUTELY agree with you! But I see at least they FINALLY got a little more serious and actually picked a WEEKDAY!
Critical Action Alert to stop the March Madness! [Update # 9]
And why do you think the Democrats have not already passed this B/S with their congressional majority? It’s because of the pressure we’re putting on. They fear the wrath of the people!!
DAMN THE NATTERING NABOBS OF NEGATIVITY!! KEEP THE PRESSURE ON!!
GO FREEPERS!!
GO FREEPERS!!
AMEN, Jim!!!

Oops, I mean THIRD! LOL

Code Red - House Target List on Health Care
The National Republican Congressional Committee has published a target list on health care. In addition to continuing to contact the five Tennessee Democrat Congressmen, you can go http://www.votervoice.net/link/clickthrough/ext/94697.aspx to contact some of these targets. Much of the talk following Obamas announcement has focused on how to defeat this second bill through reconciliation, but that is misleading because the first step to defeating Obamacare is not by concentrating on defeating the fixer bill but by defeating the Senate bill in the House when it goes to the floor for an up-or-down vote on Thursday, March 18th.

TRI CARE FOR LIFE This from a google search:
http://economicspolitics.blogspot.com/2009/05/tricare-for-life-is-obama-trying-to.html
This option would help reduce the costs of TFL, as well as costs for Medicare, by introducing minimum out-of pocket requirements for beneficiaries. Under this option, TFL would not cover any of the first $525 of an enrollees cost-sharing liabilities for calendar year 2011 and would limit coverage to 50 percent of the next $4,725 in Medicare cost sharing that the beneficiary incurred. (Because all further cost sharing would be covered by TFL, enrollees could not pay more than $2,888 in cost sharing in that year.) http://www.cbo.gov/ftpdocs/99xx/doc9925/12-18-HealthOptions.pdf

Congress plans to block Tricare fee increases
http://www.armytimes.com/news/2009/10/military_tricarefees_blocked_100709w
http://www.navytimes.com/news/2009/10/military_tricarefees_blocked_100709w/
By Rick Maze - Staff writer, Oct 7, 2009
Tricare fee increases imposed last week by the Defense Department will be repealed by a provision of the compromise 2010 defense authorization bill unveiled Wednesday by House and Senate negotiators.
The fee increases were announced on Sept. 30 and took effect on Oct. 1, but the defense bill, HR 2647, includes a provision barring any fee increases until the start of fiscal 2011.
Retired Army Maj. Gen. Bill Matz, president of the National Association for Uniformed Services, said the announcement of fee increases was shocking considering that the Obama administration promised earlier this year to hold off on any new fee Tricare fee increases until fiscal 2011.
President Obama and DoD assured NAUS and the entire military family earlier this year that there would rightly be no increases in any Tricare fees in fiscal 2010, Matz said. We took them at their word, and I cant believe that a co-pay increase like this was allowed to go forward, he added.

The Slaughter Solution is a plan by Rep. Louise Slaughter (D-NY), the Democratic chair of the powerful House Rules Committee and a key ally of Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), to get the health care legislation through the House without an actual vote on the Senate-passed health care bill.
You see, Democratic leaders currently lack the votes needed to pass the Senate health care bill through the House. Under Slaughters scheme, Democratic leaders will overcome this problem by simply deeming the Senate bill passed in the House without an actual vote by members of the House.

The twisted scheme by which Democratic leaders plan to bend the rules to ram President Obamas massive health care legislation through Congress now has a name: the Slaughter Solution.

Rush Limbaugh said about an hour ago that Pelosi came out of her "bat cave" and it appears (no confirmation yet) that the 'RATs are considering going the Slaughter Solution route.
FReepers, if THIS doesn't make you angry, nothing will! ObamaCare MUST BE STOPPED!
"Slaughter" - the name is almost biblical in it's perfect fit for the occasion.
Exactly!
We are going to have to file lawsuits to stop this, I am afraid.
Whatever it takes and ASAP... before US doctors leave their practices in droves, and we're all on waitlists for MRIs, cat scans, knee/hip replacements, etc.
God help us...
If they use unlawful methods to jam this crap down our throats, it will become a call to arms. We cannot show fear. We must resist and overturn this unconstitutional abuse of power. If they want it done in the streets, in the byways, in the hedgerows, in the forests or anywhere we choose, so be it.
Thanks, Man50D!

Tea Party Express Rally! Hyatt Regency Convention Center Santa Clara Sat Mar. 13th
:o)
Shut ‘em down and, as the left likes to say, get in their faces! Don’t let the DC police and the riff-raff on the left bully anyone there.
It really comes down to this: My conservative political philosophy does not threaten or affect the freedom of liberals. I dont ask them to sacrifice anything for me, but they DEMAND I sacrifice for them
They haven’t listened to our mass protests (9/12) or election results. They are opening the doors to anarchy. Can’t make it to DC but there is a rally outside my local congressman’s office I will be attending. Isn’t this Slaughter the same one with the story about the woman using her dead sister’s dentures? That such a mentally challenged individual could be making the rules for pushing thru Obamacare is unthinkable!!
One happy consequence--- if this country survives--- is that we will never again have to tolerate foolish feminists' claim that political arrangements rest most safely in the hands of the female sex, because women make decisions in the context of relationship and caring, and are, compared to men, less attracted to the raw exercise of power.

Here's the official Code Red List for the selected HOUSE DEMOCRATS THAT NEED TO BE PUSHED HARDEST.
The clickable links go to their online Message System. You can use the same City, State, Zip, and Area Codes as one of their local district offices (usually listed on the same page) with any street address you want --- you're using local information to get through their spam filter. For Zip+4, use any 4 digits added onto the selected Zip Code.
Write a brief, punchy letter in your Word Program, and cut-and-paste it to one congresscritter after another from the CODE RED LIST.
It is easy to do 15 or 20 of them in an hour.
Each Congressional website also has the phone, fax, and district office addresses for each Representative. I strongly urge you to phone, fax, and if at all possible, personally visit a District Office, This makes a maximum impression.
We can absolutely win this one.
Phone, e-mail and yell,
Whether doggies are Red, White or Blue,
Then we'll barge through the dooor,
And we'll sit on the floooor,
Till they join the Tea Party too!
Thanks for the ping!
Thanks for the ping!
I have the phone list, which will tell you who, then go to their web sites for email contact. Bayner (SP?) is doing a push call for campaign cash.
