Remember one thing ... this has happened before in less favorable circumstances

Let's face it FRiends, if the unconstitutional healthcare bill passes, the socialist coup d'etat will have advanced well beyond the point of no return!
There is nothing in the constitution that authorizes this illegal federal power-grab and plenty that forbids it. If the Obama/Reid/Pelosi Marxist attempted coup pulls this off without the people resisting to the hilt, then they'll have no restrictions whatsoever on implementing the rest of their Liberty killing Marxist agenda. America will be no more.
The whole idea of our constitution is to severely restrict the federal government to only its dozen and a half expressly listed enumerated powers and to guarantee and protect our unalienable individual rights as well as our sovereign states rights and republican form of government.
The constitution has not failed, the people have. When the government will not willingly restrain itself within its legal bounds, then its the duty of the people to enforce the constitution and restrain the government.
The constitution does not define our rights, it defines the limits on government. Our rights are granted by God not government, and government cannot take them away. Our government was established by and for us and was granted by us certain limited powers and only those limited powers. Our government serves at our pleasure to defend our nation and our rights. It does not RULE over us.
Obama is not a dictator. Reid, Pelosi, et al, are not our rulers. When they overstep their bounds to the degree they have, then they MUST be brought back down to reality.
It's time to jerk their constitutional chains taut!
It's time for US to enforce our Constitution and invoke our Bill of Rights!!
It's time to assemble for duty, for Liberty!!
Texas...Home of Jim Robinson. Has a good ring to it doesn it?
This Texan says HELL YEAH!!!!
My little suggestion for future tea parties is, instead of walking leisurely at a stroll, literally march! Push those feet down and make a noise - no talking, no laughing - MARCH! Make a march a real march.
Well there is once exception to overcoming death and I hear he has a birthday coming up. Don't forget to wish him a happy one!
It will only be overturned at the barrel of a gun.
20 million cannot fit in DC. Most can no doubt get there, but will not be able to get off the buses, much less march.
No way can those numbers even be counted accurately.
Besides, DC does not care.
THEY ARE NOT AFRAID OF US.
Self defense is not immoral. In fact, the incident on the bridge was 5 years after the Boston massacre.
The humanity of the oppressor is not as important as the unity of the protesters. We have not united, as yet.
If our highest voices — JimRob, Limbaugh, Levin, Beck, Hannity, Malkin, Palin, etc. MAF, the Tea Party groups, the Heritage Foundation, and all the CPAC leaders would shout out to the masses in one voice that this is NOT a DRILL, this is the REAL thing, and convey a UNIFIED sounding of the horns to conservatives, people would respond. It would be the highest call, to not go to work for a week, hop on a bus or train, carpool, just get yourself into DC for the second revolution.
We HAVE to do this. NOW. JimRob is ABSOLUTELY spot on!
Don't forget to keep the kids out of school as well.
This is another one of those occasions where I'm ashamed for America. There was one other time when I said this and I go excorated but this time I'm not backing down from this statment.
A country run by politicians whose votes are for sale is not a country not to be ashamed of. What we're seeing here is an absolute disgrace. What we have witnessed here are two political prostitues who have allowed themselves to be bought off and unfortunately we all are going to end up paying for it.
I have seen people take it to the streets in protests over things far less egregious than this. These clowns and goonies know full well that this is something the vast majority of Americans do not want but they don't give a damn. As far as they're concerned, this is not about serving the very people they're supposed to be serving. This is about creating a legacy for the messiah so they can say WE DID IT!!!!! THIS IS WHAT WE DID FOR YOU!!!!!!!!
There of course will be some clowns and goonies who will say that this is fine and dandy and that we need goverment take over of health care. Well, I have news for you. The Chicago way may be fine for some, but it's not fine with me and it sure as h*** ain't fine with the vast majority of Americans either.
I've been advocating travel boycotts in the past. I think I'm going to add Nebraska and Louisana to the list of places to boycott. If this is the best these states can do in terms of sending people to Washington for representation, than mabye it's times to put these states out of business.
In 2010 we need to remember this monstrosity when we go to the polls. We also need to watch very carefully for the clowns and goonies from ACORN and SIEU as they may try to fix these elections. I don't have much confidence in the elections system as it is with these clowns and goonies running things.
These sorry, lazy, miserable good for nothing bums need to be thown if not have their lives made miserable. This is an absolute disgrace.

All of these events are swell, but can’t we move a LOT faster? Woo hoo — another 4 months of damage and then what? That’ll show’em.
We are acting like invalids. The time to act is NOW!
Ha! And are we just supposed to send in our tax money to these thieves? I say, hail no.
Frankly, I’m convinced they contributed to the mess we’re in!"
Absolutely. Any Conservative or Republican who refused to vote for John McCain wanted to "prove a point". I understood that feeling of nausea, but what was on the other side is what we have now. It was far too risky to have denied a vote for McCain/Palin.
Just look at what we have now. The entire future of America is now in formidable jeopardy.
We must pray, and must vote with enormous power in 2010 to help right this ship.
excellent post, spot on
My family is foregoing the traditional Retail Christmas this year, just like we did last. We all have our jobs (thank God), but we are busy stocking up for when SHTF. So we will celebrate with a quiet dinner and a church service, but are not giving our money to retailers and paying that 8.25% retail tax to exchange gifts we don’t need. The only gift I would find useful this year would be something like a 6-gallon bucket of hard wheat to store in my garage.
Trying to get through to “advise” my US senators resulted in two answering machines with the voice-mailboxes full, so my petition could not be registered with my elective representatives.
I guess I’ll be trying the Capitol next, but prior experience tells me that only busy signals will prevail. I guess it is good news if the phone is already ringing off the hook.
>Have you EVER seen anything OVERTURNED? Do you see that as a possibility? Really?<
In major bills, no, with the exception of prohibition.
BUT, consider this. This Bill only passed by a vote of 5 in the congress. In the Senate they barley will have 60 in a senate where they could get much more and hardly any of these votes were republican.
The country is FIRMLY against health care at this point and when the reality of the damage it has caused is evident they will be stampeding their congressional offices.
Even the leftists have bitten off more than they can chew and hard core socialists like Olberman Matthews and “Ed” are calling for it to be killed.
I actually saw Olberman demand it go away for a correct reason - that it forces americans to do something that they may not want to do. The mandate.
So the left and zombies may not be any more happy with this than us in the end. It may even get people off their duffs from watching dancing with the stars and make a call to congress or *gasp* vote in 2010 - 2012.
What I have seen a lot of is “non- funding”. They may not overturn a bill, but when it comes to budgeting for it yearly, they simply don’t. They either vote to withhold the money to run the program or let it die in congress. That happens frequently and will probably end up being the legacy of this bill.
Obama Pelosi and Reid has vastly overreached their powers, the American people have become irate and believe that their popularity is waining day by day.
Evidence of this is here

Am I concerned? YES - VERY
Am I unhappy with this? YES
But I can not see these people having much power after this either. I think that they have created a vacuum where they have spent every political dime to pass this and over spent their clout. I think they have now become virtual lame ducks living in a glass bowl.
We shall see.
They are going to pass something and by 2020 the American people will be begging for a solution to the cluster-eff they’ve created. You know, something like Canada and France have now.
It’s all part of the plan — mess up the system so bad that people will be willing to go along.
I'm with you. At some point, my guess is it will be sometime this next year or year after, the drones who voted for Obama will become so disillusioned (not to mention jobless and starving in the streets) that civil unrest is guaranteed. There will be riots in the streets - most likely due to this whole Pelosi attitude of "The peasants have no bread? Let them eat cake!"
