Call to action! Washington DC: March 16th, 2010 - Stop Obamacare 2.0

FreedomWorks.org ^ | March 10, 2010 | FreedomWorks.org via Michelle Malkin

[nutmeg]

We are calling everyone that is able to come to Washington, DC on March 16th, 2010 for one last push against Obamacare. We will meet at the Cannon building at 9am and speak with as many representatives as possible, encouraging them to vote NO on this version of health care reform.

[nutmeg]

See the FreedomWorks website for more information.

This could be interesting... imagine thousands of people showing up to "storm" the Cannon building and other House buildings on the morning of March 16th...

[TheDailyChange]

I hope 2012 reveals a MASS PURGING of these so-called Washington DC leaders.

“Was Democrats’ Health Care Strategy Written In Federal Prison?
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.”

“CATO: OBAMACARE PRICE TAG IS 6 TRILLIONS
When we correct for both gimmicks, counting both on- and off-budget costs over the first 10 years of implementation, the total cost of ObamaCare reaches — I’m so sorry about this — $6.25 trillion.“

---

“The former CBO director, Douglas Holtz-Eakin, warns today on the effect ObamaCare
will have on our economy and health care. …This bill will lead to a huge middle class tax increase:
The bill creates a new health entitlement program that the Congressional Budget Office
(CBO) estimates will grow over the longer term at a rate of 8% annually, which is much
faster than the growth rate of the economy or tax revenues.“

---

”When Barack Obama ran for president, he promised that his health care plan would
"lower health-care costs by $2,500 for the typical family." Now, it turns out that new
legislation that he supports creating public-private "co-operatives" will increase the costs
of family health insurance by $4,000 by 2019.”

you die."

Two of every three practicing physicians oppose the medical overhaul plan under

The poll contradicts the claims of not only the White House, but also doctors' own lobby

PORTLAND, Ore. — Some terminally ill patients in Oregon who turned to their state for health care
were denied treatment and offered doctor-assisted suicide instead

"Obama Health-Care Would Drive Up Inflation and Health-Care Costs
ObamaCare would shrink the economy, drive up health-care costs and inflation,
and increase the deficit,
Overall, total federal expenditures will be 5.6 percent higher than otherwise by 2019, adding $285.6 billion to the federal deficit in 2019”

Anyone who can't go can contact their congress critters with toll free numbers to the capital switchboard. The numbers are below:

877-762-8762, 866-338-1015, 866-220-0044, 877-851-6437, 877-210-5351. Go get 'em!

[ProfoundMan]

imagine thousands of people showing up to "storm" the Cannon building and other House buildings

Not to be a buzzkill but it happened last November. The Capitol Police closed off the buildings and allowed access only after a thorough security check thus slowing the onslaught of patriots to a trickle. Canon was locked down to only one entrance IIRC. Thousands of people outside - dozens of people inside. Kinda' like a big townhall.

Call to Action ping!

I learned about this event from Michelle Malkin... she briefly mentioned it last night on Hannity's Fox News TV show.

WE. MUST. STOP. OBAMACARE!!!

Friends:We have stopped this government takeover of health care so far.  We are now in overtime and our opponent has the ball on the goal line ready to score!  Are you going to walk away now or are you going to stand strong and defend your position so we can win this game?  It is our game to win, but it is going to take all of us standing shoulder to shoulder.  The time is now or never!  We will never have this opportunity again.  Next Tuesday, on March 16th, the people of this country will once again flood...

One-time ping... Call to Action Alert!

I learned about this event from Michelle Malkin... she briefly mentioned it last night on Hannity's Fox News TV show.

WE. MUST. STOP. OBAMACARE!!!

[TV Dinners]

and not a single reporter from the MSM will be there to tell the lemmings about it...

[ExTexasRedhead]

We must also organize and send these Fascists packing in November.

[Misplaced Texan]

This could be interesting... imagine thousands of people showing up to "storm" the Cannon building and other House buildings on the morning of March 16th...

The key word is "storm". If you are not willing to do that, it is pointless. The only way to stop the action is to stop the congress.

They haven't listened to the people as of today, what difference will that make on March 16?

[Jim Robinson]

Pointless? B/S!

The Tea Party and Townhall protests are the only reason they haven’t already passed this Democrat/Marxist boondoggle. The Democrats fear the wrath of the people! Keep the pressure on!!

When the people fear the government we have tyranny.

When the politicians fear the people we have Liberty!!

Resistance to tyranny is obedience to God!!

Rebellion is brewing!!

[ConjunctionJunction]

Diogenesis, I might have found a new article for your list:

Obama’s cousin (a doctor) savages ObamaCare:

http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2010/mar/11/obama-family-health-care-fracas/

Dr. Milton R. Wolf is a radiologist in Kansas. He is Barack Obama’s second cousin once removed. President Obama’s great-great grandfather, Thomas Creekmore McCurry, is Dr. Wolf’s great-grandfather. Dr. Wolf’s mother, Anna Margaret McCurry, was five years older than Mr. Obama’s mother, Stanley Ann Dunham. The two were childhood friends until the Dunhams moved from Kansas to Seattle in 1955.

“See the FreedomWorks website for more information.”

On March 21 SEIU is calling for thousands to do the same in D.C. Only they will be asking for ObamaCare AND Amnesty for illegal aliens.

Unfortunately FreedomWorks can’t do the same...they are PRO-AMNESTY!

[Kimberly GG]

“The key word is “storm”. If you are not willing to do that, it is pointless. The only way to stop the action is to stop the congress. “

I ABSOLUTELY agree with you! But I see at least they FINALLY got a little more serious and actually picked a WEEKDAY!

Take the Town Halls to Washington!

[Jim Robinson]

And why do you think the Democrats have not already passed this B/S with their congressional majority? It’s because of the pressure we’re putting on. They fear the wrath of the people!!

DAMN THE NATTERING NABOBS OF NEGATIVITY!! KEEP THE PRESSURE ON!!

GO FREEPERS!!

Code Red” - House Target List on Health Care

The National Republican Congressional Committee has published a target list on health care. In addition to continuing to contact the five Tennessee Democrat Congressmen, you can go http://www.votervoice.net/link/clickthrough/ext/94697.aspx to contact some of these targets. Much of the talk following Obama’s announcement has focused on how to defeat this second bill through reconciliation, but that is misleading because the first step to defeating Obamacare is not by concentrating on defeating the “fixer” bill but by defeating the Senate bill in the House when it goes to the floor for an up-or-down vote on Thursday, March 18th.
