Freepers, we need your help!Obama and his followers were spoofed in Saturday's NYC Village Halloween Parade -- and now you can see it on YouTube and help the video go viral! These "Zombies for Obama" marched in the rain up the Avenue of the Americas, following a demonic Obama and his giant pitcher of Kool-Aid. They did this in the heart of liberal Manhattan (the West Village) among the enemy. We were lucky to find a professional videographer to volunteer his services, and now that the video is on YouTube, it looks like it may go viral! After one day...

Over the last several months homosexual activist campaign workers from across the country have been traveling to Maine to campaign against the upcoming vote for traditional marriage. It's been largely paid for by national homosexual groups. But all along the Massachusetts homosexual lobby has been a major organizing and fundraising arm of the pro-gay marriage push in Maine.

One of the country's leading Tea Party organizations is calling for all Tea Party supporters to boycott the "Big 3" TV networks (ABC/CBS/NBC) from November 9 - 14, during middle of the Nielsen "sweeps" rating period. From the web site: TURN ’EM OFF Take a stand against the BIG 3 TV NETWORKS - CBS, ABC, and NBC/MSNBC - for their distorted, biased, and manipulative media coverage. BLOCK THEIR CHANNELS The network news blatantly promotes the most far left-wing agenda ever proposed in the history of the United States. They do not deserve our attention or our patronage - and certainly...

The group of intelligent patriots swelled to around 100 yesterday, Oct. 30th from 4-6 PM in Roanoke County VA at the intersection of westbound Brambleton Avenue (US221) and Northbound Electric Road (VA 419). In keeping with the upcoming Halloween holiday, one lady dressed as a doctor with a mask and stethoscope. Her sign, with a drawing of a hypodermic syringe, read “Congress Sticks it to America Again.” One gentleman’s sign showed a caldron and a caption of “Obamacare, a Real Witch’s Brew.” The reaction of those drivers passing by who expressed opinions was overwhelmingly positive by about 20 to 1,...

Michelle Bachmann has asked that as many as possible meet with her on Thursday to chase down congressmen and look them in the eye and tell them NO on the health care bill. It would really be great if lots and lots of people answered her call.

Since it appears that the judicial branch is intent on abandoning it's duty to uphold the Constitution, perhaps it's time for the states themselves to individually pass legislation that will protect their citizens from the actions of anyone who illegally occupies the Oval office. There is nothing to prevent a state from passing a law requiring that the President must file his PROOF of meeting eligibility requirements with the state and that such a filing is open to public challenge in court. Such a law could stipulate that any legislation signed by a President who refuses or is unable to...

You can participate in several ways: •March as a zombie follower of Obama •Blog about the event to increase publicity •Videotape...

They're back and feisty as ever. Protesters clutching anti-Barack Obama and pro-Constitution signs braved damp, chilly weather Thursday in Alba Park as they waited for the arrival of the Tea Party Express II. Two Express buses wound their way up from San Diego to Medford as part of a cross-country tour to spread the belief that the federal government has lost its way. Jeff Krump, of the Americans for Prosperity, took to the gazebo to address the 100 or so protesters.

Ben Nelson (D-Nb.), though, said Sunday that he's not committed to vote to kill a GOP filibuster. "I have made no promise," Nelson said on CNN's "State of the Union." I can't decide about the procedural vote until I see the underlying bill. It would be, I think, reckless to say I'll support the procedure without knowing what the underlying bill consists of. And it's not put together yet. It's a draft — it will be a draft bill some time next week, submitted the Congressional Budget Office for the review of the cost." Nelson also gave a thumbs-down...
