Candidates face ultimatum: Kill Obamacare, or else
WorldNetDaily.com ^ | December 29, 2009 | Chelsea Schilling

Tea-party leaders are delivering a bold ultimatum to all congressional candidates in 2010: Pledge to repeal the health-care reform bill in its entirety if it passes – or you will be booted from office.

FreedomWorks Press Secretary Adam Brandon told WND the message couldn't be any clearer. Asked whether he believes the tea party movement will seek to oust politicians who refuse to repeal the legislation, he emphatically declared, "Absolutely."

Max Pappas, vice president of FreedomWorks, echoed Brandon's statements in an interview with Gary Sargent, Washington blogger for the Plum Line, this week.

"This has an unusual ability to be repealed, and the public is on that side." he said. "The Republicans are going to have to prove that they are worthy of their votes."

Both Brandon and Pappas emphasized that Congress must try to repeal the whole bill if it passes.

"...these people ..."

YOU and every single true patriotic American ought to be one of "...these people ..."



“First they came for the communists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a communist;
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist;
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew;
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak out for me.”

Pastor Martin Niemöller



“From bondage to spiritual faith;
From spiritual faith to great courage;
From courage to liberty;
From liberty to abundance;
From abundance to complacency;
From complacency to apathy;
From apathy to dependence;
From dependence back into bondage."

Track down your congresscritter and scream in his/her face. They MUST understand the anger. There are 330 million of us and less than 700 of them. They need to be laying awake at night worrying about the 10.2% unemployment rate they have created! Might be tough finding a job out there, critter!

Dear ChildOfThe60s - I support your position 10000000%...

We can March on DC - March on the White House on April 15th., 2010 and no one can stop us...

We need three to four million people in the streets that day... ‘cause 3-4 million protesters cannot be moved if they do not want to be moved... notwithstanding thousands of DC police or even Federal Troops...

When members of the U.S. House and Senate are so disdainful of American Citizens that they TOTALLY IGNORE our stated wishes — then they must go...

We need to assemble in DC on April 15, 2010 and STAY THERE until the Congress and the Executive Branch capitulate.... stop the insanity and listen to the PEOPLE...

We did it with a million people on 9/12/09 in DC and WE can do it again in 2010... with even more...

They ignored us on 9/12/09 — a million strong - and they ignored us... NEVER AGAIN FOLKS — we must quadruple the turnout and SHUT DC DOWN...

Got this email today:

Start getting ready for the Nov 2010 elections. Remember the motto (unless you like being abused): If they're "IN;" they're "OUT."

The 2010 Election Day.... Your U.S. House & Senate have voted themselves $4,700 and $5,300 raises.

1. They voted to not give you a S.S. cost of living raise in 2010 and 2011.

2. Your Medicare premiums will go up $285.60 for the 2-years and you will not get the 3% COLA or $660/yr. Your total 2-yr loss and cost is $1,600 or $3,200 for husband and wife. Plain enough??????

3. Every member of Congress will get an added $10,000 which is putting them very close to $200,000 per year. Sounds like an elite class to me.

4. Do you feel SCREWED? They vote themselves a raise and better benefits. They only care about WE THE PEOPLE on Election Day, right? You never did anything about it in the past. The time for action is near!!!!

5. Do you really think that Nancy, Harry, Chris, Charlie, Barnie, et al, care about you? SEND THE MESSAGE-- You’re FIRED.

*** THIS IS NOT ABOUT POLITICAL PARTIES! IN 2010 YOU WILL HAVE A CHANCE TO GET RID OF THE ENTIRE SITTING CONGRESS, Up to 1/3 OF THE SENATE, AND 100% OF THE HOUSE. The election in 2010 will be a sea-change to the mindset of any member of Congress who may survive.

It is ok to forward this to your sphere of influence if you ARE finally tired of this abuse.

The government cannot give to anybody first take from somebody else


Never Re-Elect Anyone

"We’ve reached the point where our elected representatives vote however they damn please,..."

Actually we reached that point a long time ago.

Take the 13th and 16th Amendments, FDR's raw"New Deal", LBJ's "Great Society", and every single president (with the exception of Ronald Reagan) and so-called representative (with the exception of Ron Paul) in between.

Obamarx is not new, he's just more blatant about it.

It's not just Obamacare. If they pass any part or all of the current health care legislation, then they will vote for Cap and Trade, Card Check, Amnesty for illegals and Gun Control and forever produce a fundamental change in these United States. Is that the legacy we want to leave our Grandchildren?

I love it. Put them in a corner and produce or go home. It’s time we “the people” take a stand.

Assuming that the GOP seizes control of both the house and senate you still could not repeal this. Even then Obama would just veto any such bill. No way the GOP wins enough seats to overturn vetos. So you’d have to get rid of Obama in 2012 to repeal.

They could repeal them by adding amendments to "necessary" legislation and force the President to sign or veto it.

Assuming they would have the testicular fortitude.

If we really believed that power corrupts we would not re-elect anyone.

That would be the best option, and they might be able to cut some small parts out. But I believe that Obama would not hesitate to veto any full scale repeal of Obamacare. It is, after all, his signature accomplishment. He would just go on TV and explain why he was doing it, as Clinton did (successfully) when Newt tried the same type of things with him.

Will do...because it needs to be done. Congress is fully corrupt, and they need to be voted out next time around.

And then, as always, our “trust us, we’re Republican” representatives would cave.

Republicans, democrats, NO real difference any more.

Republicrats all.

In order to return to a constitutional representative republic once again, one must vote for the ONLY party that will do that.

Constitution Party

Constitution Party

Constitution Party

Constitution Party

Constitution Party

Constitution Party

Constitution Party

Anything else IS a wasted vote.

ACHIEVED THROUGH PUSHING LIBERALS INTO SECRETARY-OF-STATE POSITIONS

American Spectator: warns of Soros manipulation of 2010+ elections

The Secretary of State is the one who gives the Official vote count.... If you have a corrupt SS you have a Corrupted Election!!!

With a mere investment of $780,000 Soros and his allies were able to suborn free elections in the states of Montana, West Virginia, Missouri, Oregon, in 2008, and in Minnesota, Ohio, New Mexico, Nevada and Iowa, in 2006.

In each State the SoS job is entrusted with overseeing the protection of free and fair elections. Of those states where Soros & company succeeded installing liberals as Secretary of State, how many did Obama win in the primaries and in the general election? Count them…
