Here’s hoping that Freepers in VA might make it to DC tomorrow. A large crowd will bring media coverage.
You are absolutely correct. We need to come up with specifics to counter their assertion that the sheeple “want health care reform”. The devil is in the details. Get them on the record. Ask them a few of these questions, get the answers in writing or on tape.
The Senate Bill provides for an Independent Medicare Advisory Board, given the task of ensuring Medicare expenditures meet budget goals. Should Medicare growth rates exceed these goals, the Board is REQUIRED to act to reduce the shortfall. How is this not rationing? Where was Sarah Palin wrong in describing this as a Death Panel?
Section 3209 allows the Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services (CMS) to bar senior citizens from purchasing private fee-for-service Medicare Advantage plans, except if you live in Florida. Why was Florida exempted? How does this not violate the Equal Protection Clause? Why can I not spend my own money on treatment that I deem necessary? Why are doctors fined if they accept fee for service payment from individuals?
Why is Congress exempt from this fiasco?
The Senate Bill also states that the Department of Health and Human Services would contract with an entity that is to develop and identify consensus-based standards to evaluate patient decision aids for preference sensitive care. Grants and contracts would be awarded to develop these patient decision aids. Does this mean that the Sec. of HHS is going to spend tax dollars to develop propaganda material to convince us that we should opt to die for the betterment of society?
What are the 118 new agencies that are specifically created by this legislation? What is the purpose of each new agency? What are their annual operating budgets? How does the creation of such a bureaucracy rein in costs?
How are states already in dire financial condition going to be able to fund the unfunded expanded Medicaid mandate?
If this legislation is SO IMPORTANT, why do the benefits not start for years?
If this legislation is so good, why was the IRS given such draconian powers?
Why have you not been honest about the double counting of the Medicare cuts as “cost savings”?
I have a great Rep and one Senator who is adamantly opposed to this bill. The other Senator drank the kool-aide and is beyond hope.
I know how you feel. Wish I could be there too, but can’t make it there in time from here in Florida! Making another ping to Freeper friends in Maryland. Maybe some of them will be able to get to DC tomorrow since they live closer.
Here’s hoping folks can spread the word to all they know who live in the DC area.
Thank you.
You have saved me a lot of work. I shall be using your letter as my starting template for letters I am sending to my two disgraceful senators, Webb and Warner.

Madame Wicked-Witch-of-the-West is sky-writing "Surrender Dorothy" with the fumes from her smelly broom, and her Flying Monkeys are arm-twisting dozens of queasy Democritters from coast to coast. DON'T GIVE UP. The wretched Pelosi doesn't have the votes, and we can make double-dog sure it stays that way
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. Dont have Fax? www.faxzero.com allows 2 free Faxes per day, available to anyone with internet.
I strongly urge you to phone, fax, and if at all possible, personally visit a District Office. This makes a maximum impression.
Thank you for your kind words and prayers.
This is all about individual action for the most part.
Every individual conservative patriotic citizen who loves this great country and the Constitutional Republic that it was created to be needs to look up their hired public officials' (Senate and Rep) offices and call, fax and write letters.
And on Tuesday go to the local offices in person and tell the staff there what you and millions of others want, and that is no health care bill rushed through upon our backs.
A plan with no action until 4 years of taxes is only one of the foolish insane aspects of this bill.
Become as informed as possible and Good luck!
PS, you can go to your State profile page here at Free Republic and post something there to see if anyone else in your area is doing something that you can become a part of.
Weather to be warm and sunny.
Thanks Syrcro, for this thread, and thanks for the reminder, trooprally!
Look, the Dem’s know we’re mad as Hell and we’re not going to take it anymore, they don’t care. The Dems know we will bury them in November, they don’t care. The Dems know the Tea Party patriots will work night and day on their opponents campaigns, they don’t care. The Dems will have to kick the Constitution to the curb to get this bloated ugly bitch passed, they don’t care. The massive rallies against Obamacare have continued to grow, they don’t care. What they want and do care about is to bring their heel down hard on 1/6th of the economy and have the producers of this country by the short hair. The Tea Party movement needs to get serious about our reaction to this egregious ongoing effort to whip us into submission to the Nanny State. If we’re mad as Hell and we’re not going to take it anymore, then we shouldn’t take it anymore. This includes signed pledges we will ignore health care bill mandates, refuse to pay taxes associated with the bill, go to jail, start legal defense funds for in inevitable Federal charges, ferociously pursue states rights initiatives including opt out of the program, start serious discussions about secession or rebellion. It means we will have to risk our jobs put our families’ well being at risk and possibly cost us our lives. The Republicans have demonstrated repeatedly they do not have the balls to repeal government teat programs. So are you ready to do what it takes to “not take it anymore”?
I agree with you in prayer to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Please hear our prayer.
Thanks for the BUMP Trooprally!
Trooprally and DC Freepers:
I am so sorry I could not advance my calendar and get there in time...just too short a notice to change my 800 mile trip that extends to the Tax Day Rally April 15.
I will make it before the Saturday event at Arlington, as previously planned. I look forward to joining old friends at Walter Reed Hospital and I am planning for August 28 and to stay for a 9-11 event too.
Syncro:
Bump to you ...see you in DC! I might even drive up to Buffalo or Syracuse to meet the bus.
There's no way of predicting how many people will be there in DC, but we hope a lot will show up and see their congress critters.
Or at least their lackeys, they will probably be hiding under their desks.
They have a way of not being available when their bosses (that's us) want to set them straight.
Also there will be gobs of people hitting the local offices around the country also
I've asked the mods to put the number of this post in the headline of the thread.
Good idea!
RE Jefferson; Given today’s modern destructive military technology at the Emperor’s disposal, most of that “manuring” will probably be coming from the veins of Patriots, if it ever comes to that. Even when the despots have wrung out the last drop of sacrifice, their gore-stained axe may still be brought to the roots of our sacred “tree”.
We’d better pray that it does not come to that, even as it appears ever more imminent that it will.
We the People are running out of options, and the tree is withering fast.
Unless there is a miraculous, divine intervention, the powers of evil arrayed before us not likely be deterred with the resources available to us mere “Subjects”.
Who will come to our aid when the sword comes upon our houses? Where will we flee to escape? Israel?
Good luck; the whole damned World is currently laying siege to her in preparation for the fulfillment of Ezekiel 38 & 39.
If you don’t know what that’s about, I suggest that you give it a read.
Let us enjoy what we have and love those we love as much as we can.... while we still can. And try to believe, and in Faith, Hope.
We live in interesting times.
Re #50 -
Wowzah!; Folks are posting stuff in here now that would have gotten us permanently ZOTTED a mere 4 years ago.
Cool.
We will be praying for all of you to have a safe journey to DC and to hear you all speak LOUD while the rest of us HONK OUR HORNS AT NOON!!!!! I would assume that is Noon Eastern time, right????????????????????????????
Don’t worry. No one will be discouraged by someone else’s voice. It is their own voice and the voice of all the others that will spur people on to do what they know is right for this country.
Keep up the good work and dont’ forget to honk those horns at noon tomorrow.
