Check it out and see who shows up.

I might if I can swing it. The two closest ones are in Ft. Collins and Longmont. Instead of confronting the DUmmies on health care I think I'd rather pass out some fliers describing that new bill that will destroy truck farming and small organic farms. I would give them to everybody except the 0bamunistas.

It isn't insane at all. It's communism. They know exactly what they are doing.

I'd only disagree a little bit. They know the *theory* of what they've studied and what they're trying to do but they have no real life experience so they are making big mistakes (at least recently.) It is this arrogant university-style marxism that is going to be their downfall. They are following rules from books they don't really understand and we are fighting back with a 200+ year history of actually accomplishing governance that is as fair for all as can be done.

Well, here's some “lies” for ya -
Page 16 defines “grandfathered” health insurance - basically it's insurance you already have and that does not changed (mine changed last year). If you are not “grandfathered”, private insurance can only be offered as an “Exchange-participating health benefits plan” (page 19). Got that? Now go to page 26: “Exchange-participating health benefits plan...is required under section 203 to provide specified levels of benefits...” In other words, private insurance must mutate to mimic the government option, without the taxpayer subsidy. And the government, using taxpayer money, gets to audit you to see how well you are doing. It is the end of private health insurance, period.

To: GOP Poet; everyone

**Can’t wait to attend a local event myself. That is if my congress critter is not too scared to have one.**

Call your senators and representative.

If they do not have currently scheduled townhalss, politely ask when and where they will have one and then post it on your state board on FR.

If they are ‘chicken’ then ask to meet in private with them — make an appointment — and take someone else with you.

Keep checking your state boards here on FR. Info about the townhalls should show up.

Also check the Senate and House of Representatives sites, because most of them have their scheduled townhalls listed.

Keep the faith and keep praying!

"Obama urges backers to fight 'lies' " I am doing exactly that by spreading the word about how Obama lied about being able to keep your current health insurance if you like it.

ObamaCare = Aktion T4

and remember that Zyklon B is now a generic pain pill (or gas) that can be used as a cost-efficient alternative to heart pacemakers.

There's an event scheduled at my local library this Sat. morning. I will be there with copies of Hugh Hewitt's “10 Questions” that I'll be handing out to everyone entering the event...

I edited it to fit the event.

Thanks for the headzup, Kabar!

Ok Kabar...I went to that website, entered my zip code and put in 25 mile radius and then clicked on what is happening in support of obama.

He has gathered his summer workers called Organizing for America (and supposedly the DNC pays for them but I WANT PROOF that it is not coming out of the stimulus etc like ACORN is.)

I called one of the organizers listed there who is doing a huge phone bank on Aug 8 and asking for people to do 2 hour stints.

I told her the two facts about the health care bill that she should know-about abortion funding that is forced and about the government having full access to everyone's medical and BANK ACCOUNTS if they are signed into the health program.

She asked me to email her the stuff....I can do that...but I told her I would BE at the phone bank informing the volunteers of exactly what they are doing and what could very well happen to their own parents and themselves as the age.

I hope to get some people to join me here in Indy.

Also...there are five or six other events in my zip code area....one is a door to door friday evening. Makes me SICK!

It is a well organized email organizing campaign....
conservatives are WAY BEHIND THE EIGHT BALL!

Why don’t we have such a site to organzize our people?

Meanwhile while we are attacking Obama’s organizing skills....I have NO website I can go to and find

1. where the latest political events/townhalls are?
2. who else in a 15 mile radius shares my desire to become politically active as a conservative?
3. Who else in my neighborhood I could contact that shares my views?

Instead of complaining about ‘community agitation” we should be getting our organizing in our communities going!
We should have an effective website that is interactive!

Instead of getting sick...ask yourself why YOU can’t find other conservatives in your area and where the latest events are to attend with a click of your computer mouse????

They are beating us at community organizing! What do you think grassroots politics is about? Once we leave a townhall meeting we all go home and that’s it!
