http://www.highnoonforhealthcare.org/rsvp.php
December 15th, 2009 on Capitol Hill
The fight is on in the U.S. Senate over the future of your health care and the proper role of government. Senator Reid only needs 3 more VOTES to make government-run health care a reality in America.
If that happens, brace yourself for:
Roughly $500 billion in tax INCREASES
Mandates forcing you into government insurance
$464 billion in Medicare CUTS
Higher Insurance Premiums
A cost of $2.5 Trillion that just might break the Treasury.
We can’t let Washington come between you or your child and your doctor! YOU CAN HELP STOP HARRY REID. Join us in Washington DC on December 15 to tell Washington to keep their hands off our health care.
What: Senate Emergency Rally
When: December 15th, at 1:30pm ET
Where: Upper Senate Park, on Constitution Ave. between New Jersey and Delaware St. NE
We are adding more speakers every day. Our confirmed speakers are:
Senator Tom Coburn
Senator Jim DeMint
Laura Ingraham
Rick Scott, Chairman, Conservatives for Patients Rights
Following the Rally we will help you find your Senators office so you can tell Congress what you think.
You don’t need to register unless you would like to ride a bus sponsored by our coalition members. However, it would help helpful if you let us know you’re coming so we know to expect you. This is truly a grassroots effort so many of our busses are asking for an affordable transportation contribution.
Stand up for health care freedom in a way your senators will never forget. This may be our last stand against the Democrats misguided health care agenda.

Tea Party groups set town hall meeting Saturday [Starkville, Mississippi]
The Starkville Daily News ^ | December 16, 2009 | Paul Sims
Posted on December 16, 2009 2:42:24 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet
The Tea Party movement is working to put “America back on track” as a majority of elected officials are doing “great damage to this nation,” one organizer of a local group says.
The Starkville and Columbus Tea Party groups will gather Saturday in Starkville in a public town hall meeting at the Starkville Sportsplex from 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. The event is free.
In explaining the Tea Party movement, Robert J. Allen, who co-founded with Gary Chesser the Starkville Tea Party, said:
“We have happening in our country right now something that has never happened before, at least to the degree it is happening. A majority of our elected officials have literally turned against us and are using the positions we elected them to fill to do great damage to this nation to the point of even threatening our existence, economically and politically.” Allen said: “We have expressed concern and alarm and disagreement with what’s happening and these same elected officials have refused to stop what they’re doing.”
He listed such actions as:
• Raising taxes. • Borrowing money, “putting our country in greater and greater debt.” • Destroying businesses. • The “so-called fairness doctrine in which our freedom of speech is being taken from us.” • “Taking war criminals and treating them as respectable citizens and ultimately, they’re all going to be set free because of legal technicalities.”
Allen said: “That’s a short list of things we have been telling them ‘Stop doing that.’” He said: “This is all part of taxation without representation. We remind them that America is a government of the people, by the people and for the people, but in ignoring us they show us that they consider America to be of the politicians, by the politicians and for the politicians. We don’t accept that and we are doing what we can to put America back on track.”
Allen says: “They ignore our instructions to them. They work for us. They not only ignore us, they mock us.” He referred to a comment by U.S. Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif. – the House speaker – calling the Tea Party movement “Astroturf” instead of grass roots. Pelosi was recorded making the comment in an interview with KTVU-TV.
“We are the grass roots. Nancy Pelosi calls us ‘Astroturf’ which is fake grass,” Allen said. One element of the forum will focus on health care reform.
Allen says one provision in legislation to reform health care includes a “legal requirement that people of a certain age would be denied medical treatments and medicines because they don’t have enough lifetime left to justify the expense.”
Currently, “no one is denied care based on age,” Allen said.
The audience will hear from three speakers, including Dr. Phillip Ley, a surgical oncologist from Jackson. Ley will address such issues as the death provision and “other bad parts of the government health care push,” Allen said.
Those who attend will hear two other speakers. These are:
• Angela McGlowan, a FOX news analyst for several years and a native Mississippian. “We expect her to talk about the broad spectrum of issues,” Allen said. • Grant Sowell, with the Tupelo Tea Party, will be the last speaker. “We have asked him tie everything together and give people counsel on what they can do with this information that they just heard and how they can be more effective in standing up for our country,” Allen said.
Allen says there are are sworn affidavits from people in and close to the Obama family who swear that they know he was born in Kenya. “That makes him ineligible to be president of the United States,” Allen said, alleging officials “have covered for (Obama) all along.”
A Dec. 4 Associated Press story reported former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin said on a radio show to host Rusty Humphries on a that voters “rightfully” have questions about the legitimacy of Obama’s birth certificate. The so-called birther conspiracy around Obama’s U.S. citizenship has been widely discredited, and state health officials in Hawaii have repeatedly confirmed that the president was born there in 1961.
Palin later backed off the comment on her Facebook page, saying she had never questioned Obama’s citizenship but believes that voters and reporters had a right to ask candidates whatever questions they wish.
Allen said: “We’ve had crooked politicians all along but we’ve never had this many who are in your face doing these things against us.”
Organizers plan to reserve about a third of the program for questions and answers from the audience. “It’s another opportunity to get informed. We want this to be a service to the community. This is not a political party thing. We’re not promoting a party. We’re promoting America,” Allen said.

Christmas Tea Party Commemorating The First Philadelphia Tea Party December 27, 1773
IHTPA | December 19, 2009 | IHTPA
Posted on December 19, 2009 6:04:04 PM PST by TAdams8591
You’ve heard of the Boston Tea Party on December 16, 1773, but how many have heard of the Philadelphia Tea Party which soon followed? It was attended by 8,000 Philadelphians (one third the population of the city at that time)on December 27, 1773.
How many are aware the Tea Tax rebellion actually began in Philadelphia with the ratification of eight tax resolutions in October 1773 shortly thereafter adopted in early December by our then brothers and sisters in Boston?
Please join us for our CHRISTMAS TEA PARTY commemorating the 226th Anniversary of the First Philadelphia Tea Party, the first known commemoration of that historic event, and thus itself history in the making!
When: December 27, 2009, 2-3 PM
Where:Independence Mall (the site of the original Tea Party)
5th and Chestnut Streets, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Featuring: WPHT Radio Host Dom Giordano as Dr. Benjamin Rush, leader of the December 27, 1773 Philadelphia Tea Party, reciting the original Resolutions adopted by the Boston and Philadelphia Tea Parties; Fife and Drum Corps;Program Booklets; Hot Coco, Cider, Tea, and Cookies.
In Lieu of signs, please bring a small gift for our soldiers. Please see our website for the list of appropriate gifts.
Free and Open to the Public. Visit www.IHTPA.org.
Since April, the Association has sponsored many successful programs,including: The April 18 Philadelphia Tea Party II at Independence Hall (attendence 1800);the July 4 Independence Hall Tea Party III (attendance 2500); and the August Specter/Sibelius Town Hall Rally (IHTPA was the first group to call for the rally locally and nationally; wrote and sent out the press releases, got the rally permit, and publicized the event, which set the tone for Town Halls nationwide). Additionally, we sent 14 buses to the March on Washington, September 12; 8 buses to DC on November 4; and held an array of rallies at Congressional Offices and Town Halls.
Independence Hall Tea Party Association, a tri-state (PA, NJ, DE) regional organization, is a truly grassroots Tea Party group, which was founded independently of and works without, the direction or assistance of any National Organization (though we do collaborate), our first Tea party led and organized on February 27, by Chris Clemency. Chris’s research efforts uncovered the information about the first Tea Party on the site of Independence Hall. Nationally, we are allied with Nationwide Tea Party Coalition.

Nearly 2,000 Show Up For Rally To Press Nelson on Reform
1011now ^ | Dec 20, 2009 | Keller Russell
Posted on December 21, 2009 4:52:12 AM PST by george76
A group called Americans for Prosperity in Nebraska gathered a crowd for a rally in Omaha to press Sen. Nelson on the reform bill.
Anger over senator Ben Nelson’s support of health care reform.
Nearly 2,000 people rally in Omaha, hoping he’s listening.
The group’s message is two fold — reconsider your vote Senator Nelson and remember your decision when elections roll around.
With their signs in hand, Nebraskans filled Omaha’s Music Hall, rallying against the senate health care bill and Sen. Nelson’s support for it.
“I think that’s why we’re all here. To get him to listen to us,” said one rally attendee.
Nebraska State Auditor Mike Foley, State Treasurer Shane Osborn and a host of state senators also attended the rally.
“You cook up a deal in a back room that’s essentially sleazy in my view to allow one state to be held harmless for medicaid enrollees to get that vote and make the rest of us go home and have ‘em say “ Why couldn’t you in South Carolina and Georgia get that deal?” said Republican Sen. Lindsay Graham, of South Carolina

Texas Tea Party groups rally on Hutchison’s health care filibuster vote
The Dallas Morning News ^ | December 21, 2009 | TOM BENNING and TODD J. GILLMAN
Posted on December 21, 2009 10:30:06 AM PST by FTJM
Tea Party groups in Dallas, Austin and Houston are rallying today at the offices of Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison to protest her breaking ranks with a GOP filibuster aimed at stalling the Democrats’ health care bill.
“We want to let her know that we are not happy,” said Dallas Tea Party leader Phillip Dennis. “If we can’t trust her to fulfill her promises as a senator, how can we trust her as governor?”
Last week, Republican Senate leaders organized a filibuster of a defense spending bill, though that was not the real target. Hutchison said she supported the tactic, but once Democrats gathered the 60 votes needed, she joined Democrats – and two other Republicans – to force a vote on the defense bill. This move cleared the way for work to resume on health care.
A Hutchison aide said she voted as she did to show support for the troops and noted that the filibuster would have been broken with or without her vote.

“PICK UP THE PHONE BLANCHE [LINCOLN]”

Tell Blanche Lincoln to “Pick up the phone!”
Today or tomorrow, Arkansas Democrat Senator Blanche Lincoln plans to vote again to move Harry Reid’s Senate health care bill toward passage. This, in spite of the fact that 60% of her constituents oppose the bill.
With a vote looming on such important legislation, legislation that will impact every man, woman, and child in America, one would expect Senator Lincoln to want to hear her constituents’ opinions on the matter. But no!
She won’t even take their calls. Her office phone goes unanswered today. But just in case they’re reading the emails, please click here to email the link for the video below to Senator Lincoln today. If you’re from out of state, use Zip Code “72023“, and city “Cabot“, street address “112 S. First Street” to be sure the system let’s you through. (That’s the address of Democrat Representative Marion Berry’s Cabot office.)
Tell Lincoln to “Pick up the phone!” by copying and pasting the following link in your message: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Qh7bQ5cocE
You can also try to call her DC office at 202-224-4843, but good luck getting someone to pick up the phone.

WITH VIDEO: About 3,000 attend Tea Party event (Racine, WI Bonfire, 25°, burn your AARP Card)
journaltimes ^ | 11-16-10 | MICHAEL BURKE
Posted on January 17, 2010 3:24:57 PM PST by Indy Pendance
CALEDONIA - Education isn’t just for your children - it’s for you too, Samuel “Joe the Plumber” Wurzelbacher told a frozen but enthusiastic crowd Saturday. The setting for the latest Tea Party - this one dubbed the Tea Party Bonfire - was Wendell Anderson’s farm on Highway H. Despite cold, damp winter weather, organizers reported from the stage that they’d counted more than 3,000 heads.
Nancy Milholland, one of about 20 organizers, said the group had heard this was the first Tea Party of 2010. The name refers both the the Boston Tea Party and is an acronym for Taxed Enough Already.
A pile of wooden pallets provided the fuel for the bonfire that roared about 50 yards behind the stage. Speaker after speaker provided the verbal fuel, lobbing such topics as nationalized health care, climate change, taxation, immigration and gun rights. The first mention of “global warming” brought loud, derisive laughter from the crowd.
Wurzelbacher, the speaker with the widest name recognition, continued riding the wave of celebrity he has enjoyed since he questioned then-candidate Barack Obama during an Ohio campaign stop in 2008. His brief message to Saturday’s audience was that Americans should be regularly reading about their history and government. “Get busy for an hour or half-hour each night,” he said. “Take the responsibility of being American seriously - because if you don’t, another country will,” Wurzelbacher said.
Dave Westlake and Terrence Wall - all running against U.S. Sen. Russ Feingold this year. The mere mention of Feingold’s name drew loud boos from the crowd.
The last speaker was radio talk show host Vicky McKenna of WISN (1130 AM). Reinforcing an often-uttered message Saturday, she said: “Finally, everyone found out it’s all about you. The penalty for losing an election should not be losing our country.”
