I pledge I will fight Obama, tooth and nail, until the Usurper goes back to Chicago, or wherever.

He can’t do pressers. Taking questions from the “news” people is a no-no.

It would be better to ask the jerk directly, but no. He has to go on Leno and make a mockery of the presidency.

FReepers WE CAN HAVE FUN WITH THIS!
Go to the site and find events near your location, then RSVP. You will not need to put in much info, and you can put in fake stuff and it will take it. You will notice at the bottom how many the event is limited to. Fill er up!!!
I noticed that even in WI and in the Peoples Republic of Madison there were not many meetings and there were only several people signed up. I noticed one with 0 people so I filled it up to capacity. You can also leave comments. I would imagine they are going to serve refreshments and maybe food at these shindigs. Imagine them planning for 50 people and only 5 show up. Get to work Freepers, lets rain on their parade!

Ha!

Sorry, we could not find any events in your area.

You can expand your search area to 100 miles,
or you can create an event of your own.

Thanks closest to me 20 miles. Besides If one of them was smart enough to know what it stands for the Gadsden Flag may tell them it’s a bad door to knock on.
When TOTUS no longer wants these “volunteers” will there be a Night of the Long Knives so the elite can become his personal bodyguard.
Pray for America!!

I expect we’ll see a few whiz-bang parties in the lib big cities where the drunks will shoot each other tonight.

Obuma will learn you can’t turn mad dogs loose without serious adult supervision.

Another obuma failure.

Within 45 miles of my nearest town there is ONE meeting today in a park near a highway 3 miles from here. No names listed. It is listed as a *conversation*.

We are hosting a shooting party for 6 other people today.

I hope they decide to canvass. (G) However, it looks like no one is willing to list their name, volunteer their home or even that they have any real organization. In an underpopulated rural area, we all know each other, so I am pretty sure we will be ignored.

Here's a quote from the guide:

http://my.barackobama.com/page/content/pledgeprojectcanvassguide/

“A budget is more than simply numbers on a page. It is a measure of how well we are living up to our obligations to ourselves and one another. It is a test for our commitment to making America what it was always meant to be -- a place where all things are possible for all people. ” - President Barack Obama

What a load that is. The media will spend all day today trying to locate a meeting with more than 10 people at it and do a 2 minute story about how successful these “huge” events are ALL across the country. Count on it.

Obama wants you to pledge loyalty to him and he is sending his Zombies to your front door.

Classic use of peer pressure from neighbors and friends to put you in-line.....

.....If they do this well, they can create an "enemies" list by finding out who DID NOT SIGN.

Canvassing starts March 21, 09

This guy is going out of his way to make sure you feel his presence.

I don't like that.

And I thought it was so neat to have an electrical outlet by the front door.

Now TOTUS can plug itself in easier when it drops by to tell me how great 0bama is.

They might even have to outrun some bird shot.

Birdshot?

Oh, clever!

Of course!

What else would you use on chicken$hit socialists.

Amazing deep in the hearts of Miami /Ft. Lauderdale and there is next to nothing in the way of canvassers except for a smattering of gay related political action round tables during a gay pride event.

I might even have to feed my dog.

I will have my paper shredder by the front door. Hopefully they will give me their clipboard to sign with all the other signatures on it. I can’t wait to see their faces when all the effort they put in for the day was cut to shreds.

Of course I will give them their clipboard back along with their shredded bag of signatures.

He, he...I had a bit of fun today.

I was worried about getting into trouble, but instead there was a slew of interesting reactions.

I had to work, but didn't have a lunch. So I decided to stop at the grocery store on my way in to work. Sure enough...there they were in the parking lot. I parked to make sure I got approached.

Politely declined on the grounds I don't pledge to any man or any 0ne’s policies. I think they missed the pun, but I did offer them the opportunity to Pledge Allegiance to the Republic of the United States. The other person who had been filling out the form and asked what I was talking about. I simply restated that my pledge is the America as a whole country, not to just one man's policies. She took her sheet of the clipboard and tore it up and asked to sign mine as we walked away.

Sure enough as I got to work, there was someone there trying to get signatures. This time though it was a highschool student who volunteers their time to work with the injured animals brought in. I declined and explained where my true loyalties rested and went on inside to work. When I looked out the window, they were gone.

Coming home I needed to stop at the drugstore. Shoot, there was another group of them! I pulled my little Pledge of Allegiance sheet out and approached them. Again several people listening to what I simply stated as my reason for declining asked for their forms back and tore them up.

At the rate I've been going today I am thinking we should have had FReepers in the area or 912’ers. We could have successfully & peacefully countered these actions.

There is a group canvassing later this evening at the local faux mall. Might be just enough fun to have one more go at them.
