Was Democrats’ Health Care Strategy Written In Federal Prison?--
Big government breitbart ^ | Dec 7th 2009 | Joel B. Pollak

....The plot thickens.

Rep. Schakowsky’s husband, Robert Creamer, used to be the leader of Citizen Action/Illinois. He also founded its predecessor, Illinois Public Action, in which Ms. Schakowsky served as Program Director. He runs a political consulting firm, the Strategic Consulting Group, which lists ACORN and the SEIU among its clients and which made $541,000 working for disgraced former Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich.

Creamer resigned from Citizen Action/Illinois after the FBI began investigating him for bank fraud and tax evasion at Illinois Public Action. He was convicted in 2006 and sentenced to five months in federal prison in Terre Haute, Indiana, plus eleven months of house arrest.

While in prison—or “forced sabbatical,” he called it—Creamer wrote a lengthy political manual, Listen to Your Mother: Stand Up Straight! How Progressives Can Win (Seven Locks Press, 2007).

The book was endorsed by leading Democrats and their allies, including SEIU boss Andy Stern—the most frequent visitor thus far to the Obama White House—and chief Obama strategist David Axelrod, who noted that Creamer’s tome “provides a blueprint for future victories.”

In the book, Creamer draws lessons from decades of experience on the radical left, including the teachings of arch-radical Saul Alinsky, and several episodes from Rep. Schakowsky’s political career. He also lays out a “Progressive Agenda for Structural Change,” which includes a ten-point plan for foisting universal health care on the American people in 2009:

I seriously feel like we're all in the Twilight Zone.

Will these criminals NEVER be held accountable for who they are and what they've done?

In a sane world, this alone would kill Obamacare, his political life and the future of every democrat.

Would that we lived in a sane world again. Will it ever happen, or are we doomed to live the rest of our lives in this swirl of madness??

Is this even a news story in the lame stream media?

I rather doubt it.

By the times a majority of Americans hear about it, the democrats will have passed "healthcare" into law.

Only a conservative congress can repeal it under (ideally) President Palin.

Of course, IMO only, a conservative congress can impeach the TIC before 2012, so let's get about working toward that 2010 goal!

How do we replace that vile lamestream media with truthtellers?

How can they continue to get away with this refusal to print or announce anything that makes their god look bad?

Sometimes I feel so HELPLESS.

I am 61, an old 61, so if this nightmare doesn’t get turned around in 2010 and 2012, I will be so doomed. I wish you better fortune.

I don’t know. I think the news media are either in collusion to omit the news they do not want Americans to know or they’re all such Leftist that they ideologically fall into line without having to collude.

Either way, they’re smug, arrogant and gleeful.

We must stay vigilant and fight to keep the powers in charge from restraining free speech on the Internet and on talk radio.

Oh my ... the other bags not shown
in the photo had yet to be carted off
Hopefully, they’ll all fit in your carriage
house after the maid empties them and
irons my clothes.

And I know I’ll love being served tea
and pastries on your lovely china .. I
hear your cook is quite something .... ;)

I'm right behind you at 60, Gator.

I've had conversations with one of our sons about the destruction going on now, and told him that if this doesn't get turned around NOW, the country cannot and will not recover until after I'm gone. He knows.

It truly is a frightening prospect for those of us who love this country so dearly. We feel it slipping through our fingers and it seems half the country doesn't care.

Indeed. And you and I are both well aware that shutting down our free speech and silencing our voices is at the top of their agenda.

May God protect us from this onslaught, and may we be alert and courageous with what's happening to this dear Republic!

Did you ever meet a liberal that wasn’t a criminal at heart?

April 6, 2006---Robert Creamer, a top Democratic consultant----husband of U.S. Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-Ill)----was sentenced to 5 months in prison for using bad checks to prop up his struggling consumer group Illinois Public Action, and for tax evasion.

The lefty "altruists" stole using regulated bank money. One can only imagine what the lefty crooks are doing in Washington-----with trillions of tax dollars at their disposal. Let's have a look at good ol' Jan's Cong earmarks.

The convicted felon and his wife were at the infamous WH "crashers" event.

Saddest thing about this is nursing homes across America are filled with voters who think their lives will improve with BamaKennedy ‘care’. These people are first in line to be dealt with.
