It is not really that hard to do something. If you’re at the doctor’s office or getting an oil change or something and they have CNN on, just start making comments out loud. People will hear you. You might make someone think. You might embolden someone of like mind. It is not hard to just start saying things like “This is like the Soviet Union.” “What do they mean, dissent should be stifled. What happened to the first amendment?” Stuff like that.

Of course, union thugs or Acorn thugs might follow you out to the parking lot. That’s why you go everywhere armed.

PLEASE CHECK THIS OUT!! AUGUST 22, 2009

With so many cowarding out of Town Hall Meetings, here is an opportunity to take a Town Hall to them!! TeaPartiers are organizing to protest at local offices on August 22!!

August 22: Join the nationwide Recess Rally; Dems performing CPR on Obamacare

By Michelle Malkin

We have the momentum to kill Obamacare.

The congressional recess period is critical.

I’ve joined many grass-roots groups in a nationwide coalition holding a Recess Rally on August 22, 2009.

The Tea Party revolt and the grass-roots counterinsurgency against the health care takeover have taken congressional offices locally and Washington, D.C. by storm.

Now, more than ever: Crank it up, spread the truth, raise your voices, and tell Washington…

Hands Off Our Health Care.

Go to Recess Rally to get organized.”

Here is the link for Recess Rally...find your locale and join in on LOCAL teaparties against Obamacare!!!

http://recessrally.com/

Also, DIMs aren’t the ONLY congresscritters on RECESS!!
I hope that we can all encourage our local (R) leadership to hold Town Halls, like Vitter did, to get the TRUTH out to those uninformed and listening only to MSM.
DIMS should NOT be the only leadership out there trying to get their (lies) message out!!! LET’S GET THE TRUTH OUT!!!

“Community Organizing” is apparently un-American now that Obama and the Democrats are in control.

It is alarming that this woman is so close to the presidency. She might be able to fool San Franciscans in her district time and again, but it’s really hard to believe that her party’s other congress-critters want to be forced to toe the line for such an underperformer. I’ve seldom seen anyone so clearly incapable of thinking on her feet as Pelosi.

It’s got to drive intelligent Dem representatives nuts.

Dissent is only patriotic when you disagree with Republicans, I guess.

Of course not ... it’s always different when it’s something they support like their own pension plan instead of ss or their own healthcare plan instead of the one they want to shove down our throats.

President Obama’s top priority for Congress is health care reform. Insurance companies are spending over a million dollars a day lobbying against the reform, while feeding myths and fears to America. It will take the same grassroots energy that got Obama elected to see the change we voted for. Our work isn’t over.

Build support for health care reform with U.S. PIRG. Mobilize activists to cut the cost of health care, expand coverage, and stop sick from getting dropped by insurance companies. Go out in your community and make change happen. Make friends and money along the way.

Earn $400-$600 per week. To apply for a job, call Chris at 612-331-1434.

The Fund for the Public Interest has been working for over 25 years with organizations such as Sierra Club, Environment America, Human Rights Campaign, Progressive Future and U.S. PIRG to win concrete victories for the public interest. We are the nation’s premier nonprofit for raising money, building membership and winning grassroots campaigns.

* Location: Minneapolis
* Compensation: $400-$600 Per Week

Since when is exercising the freedom to speak your mind *unAmerican*?

Since when is not supporting an unConstitutional grab for power by the federal government *unAmerican*?

Healthcare is not a delegated responsibility of the federal government. Opposing it is certainly one of the most patriot, American things one can do.

PELOSI CALLS DISRUPTIONS UNAMERICAN

Hey, that's nothing! Baron Hill, D-Ind is calling them POLITICAL TERRORISTS.

Rep. Baron Hill is caught in crossfire on health care

Baron Hill won't be holding any town halls because he's trying to "control the events". He doesnt' want to give an opportunity to "POLITICAL TERRORISTS" to "BLOW UP" the event. Hill says "The War is On".

What’s unAmerican in the health care debate is Pelosi employing tradtional Democrat scare tactics to stifle free speech.

Had this ready to post to Nanzi, but I'm unable to get into the link....must be busy.

Regardless, we need to be reading, reciting this precious paragraph over and over.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. ”
