Barack Obama told reporters that he rode the same wave of public anger into office that brought Scott Brown into Ted Kennedy's Senate seat. Not quite. The wave of public anger that elected Scott Brown is focused on Barack Obama and the Congressional Democrats who are pushing his policies.
The public anger is more than justified. Both the President and Congress have turned a deaf ear to the expressed will of the people throughout the first year of the new administration. Even after the candidates Obama endorsed and campaigned for in Virginia, New Jersey, and Massachusetts all lost convincingly, Democrat strategists are advising the leadership to "show character" by fighting even harder to impose government-controlled health care.
They would, were it not for the inconvenient fact that every Representative and 33 Senators must face the "angry public" at the polls this year.
All across the country, local, state, and national organizations are preparing to choose a new future for America. The future America wants is controlled by neither Democrats nor Republicans, but by elected officials who honor their pledge to "...preserve, protect, and defend" the U.S. Constitution.
Instead of its eleventh annual national conference this year, one national grassroots organization is scheduling regional, state, and local conferences around the country, focusing on ways to elect only those representatives who will publicly sign a pledge that includes ideas such as these:
I will vote against any legislation that infringes the individual right to keep and bear arms.
I will vote for legislation that allows the use of domestic resources to achieve energy and food independence.
I will vote against any legislation that results in a federal takeover of any private corporation, institution, or entity.
I will vote against any legislation that authorizes the United Nations to impose a tax, levy, fee or royalty on the United States or any of its citizens.
These are basic Constitutional principles that the federal government has forgotten over the years. The current leadership routinely ignores the limitation of power imposed upon Congress by the Constitution. This is the source of much of the public anger that has become so visible.
Another national organization is organizing from the precinct level on up through the state party machinery. Their goal is essentially to take over the Republican Party by replacing RINO party official at the lower levels in order to send delegates to the state level who will oust RINO state officials. This strategy has worked quite well in Nevada and is currently being implemented in several other states.
These activities reflect the growth of last year's Tea Party movement. This year, in addition to planning a variety of public events, Tea Party activists are getting involved in local and state organizations that are working behind the scenes to elect a new crop of officials at every level of government.
Congressional incumbents are vulnerable, especially those who voted for the so-called stimulus bill, or the Cap-and-Trade bill, or the notorious health care bills. These bills blatantly ignore the Constitutional limitation of Congressional power and would go a long way toward fundamentally transforming the country into what would look like a socialist state.
Under socialist rule, the government decides how much payment an individual will receive for his labor, and what services the individual will receive from the government. Should Obama's agenda be enacted, the taxes required would, in effect, dictate how much payment an individual would be allowed to keep, while the government takes whatever portion it needs. The government would dictate how much energy a consumer might use, and the level of quality and quantity of health care a person might receive.
The vast majority of Americans want no part of socialist government control. The Tea Party movement is evidence of their resistance. Their organization into action groups is evidence of their strategy and their voting record in Virginia, New Jersey, and now in Massachusetts, is evidence of their effectiveness.
It's too late for the Democratic leadership to say "excuse me," and back up and pretend to be concerned about what the people want. They have already shown their true color and their true agenda. Americans who are grounded in the U.S. Constitution will have no part of it. The rebellion that began last year is mounting, getting better organized, and is taking aim at the November elections.
The November election, at best, is just a start at restoring the principles of freedom in the federal government. The campaign must continue through 2012, and beyond. Americans must never forget: freedom is not a destination; it is a hard, never-ending journey.

I pray this is true. I will be there to pull the level HARD!
My sister works in the Post Office. She tells me of these welfare Queens with 10 or 12 kids getting 60k a year. They do not work and have kids with several different men all unmarried. As soon as the females are old enough to bear children they get them pregnant and get even more money. All on our dime. IT SUCKS!
>>Sorry, but we need a revolution. Vote them all out in 2010.”<<

A total crew change in congress can only be an improvement.
I’m confused. Should I vote for a former congressman who has a long history of those listed ideals or should I say screw him and consider him an incumbent and let the marxist win?
“8 kids - that’s right 8; all illegal anchor babies and she had the nicest nails, cell phone, hand bag, clothing, etc. “She makes about $1,500 monthly for each”
Send her to Idaho, where she’ll get for 8 kids, let me see, carry the seven, oh, yes: nothing.
That happened in my state in 2006. I was depressed for months, not likely to ever forget it.
Fortunately my former congressman is leading the early polls by around 10 points and has picked up the endorsements of a couple of our current congressmen.
He wouldn’t be a former congressman if the NRCC hadn’t stripped him of funding two weeks before the last election. They called him a lost cause and he lost by a whopping 2% in this traditionally republican district.
War on ALL Dems and RINO’s. Kick them ALL out of office! Phoney Blue Dogs included!
It is time we put a stop to this and the above solution is the only one that will do it. Those TOM cats are out every night dropping their seed.
CAll it the "Name the Papa" bill, make them pay or go to jail.
Great post...I have a request:
Do we have a website (conservative, of course), that has a link to a table that was built with the latest primary and general election tracking and opinion poll tracking all in one place or all in one table?
We have a guy who tracks Obama’s daily approval ratings, and perhaps we can put that in this handy dandy table as well...does it exist???
Not “incumbents” per se, but those who are liberal and arrogant towards their constituents. Vitter, for example, is neither - although he’s an incumbent. He needs to be re-elected. He’s one of the most conservative Senators in Congress - and consistently so.
Juan McAmnesty is #1 on the list. The rest will fall like dominoes and resign.
Here’s a democrat turned RINO, turned independent that needs to be made into a trophy before he does any more damage. Democrats would likely vote for him because they don’t have a viable candidate for the governors chair this time around.

“She makes about $1,500 monthly for each”
This can’t be true. What are the facts here?
Support the best candidate between the two, incumbent, former, new guy ... whatever he is.
Just replacing people, however, will not fix the problem. The system is broken, and needs lots of repair. It is not in the best interest of incumbents (remember, after the new guy is elected, he becomes an incumbent) who want to get reelected to fix the system.
It is up to all of us to turn the heat up and keep it there.
Makes me wonder too!!!
Vote in the PRIMARIES to get rid of RINOs.
