With Barack Obama re-elected to the White House for four more years, half the country is wondering what we can do to limit the damage.
I actually have an answer.
In January 2011, after Republicans took over the House, I launched a campaign that now appears to be our only hope of killing off Obamacare, making Obama’s lame-duck second term a nightmare (for him, that is) and actually moving Washington toward a return to limited, constitutional government.
And all it takes to do it is the cooperation of the House Republican majority.
After Republicans took control of the House in 2010, I began thinking about what a party with control of only one house could do to challenge the president and the other house of Congress. It turns out there’s something very profound that party can do – if it has the will.
That’s where the people come in – the 50 percent of the country that rejected Obama and understands what a danger his agenda represents to America’s future.
My plan has been around ever since. It’s called the “No More Red Ink” campaign – and it’s quite simple. There’s no point in writing to your congressman if he or she is a Democrat. You are not going to convince any Democrats to buck the Obama tide. That’s obvious. But, if the “other 50 percenters” were to join the “No More Red Ink” campaign in lobbying just House Republicans to disapprove of any hike in the debt limit, Obama and Senate Democrats would be hamstrung in implementing Obamacare. It would spell the end to many other outrageous spending programs. It would force $1 trillion cuts in Washington’s annual spending. It would eliminate Planned Parenthood funding, the Department of Education, the National Endowment for the Arts, PBS and NPR

What’s wrong with secession or moving to Texas?
That's about all I could come up with. LOL.
A while back (couple years) me and some friends started a "co-op". We trade goods and services based on talents and assets. Just a small group of friends "helping" each other. There is only a dozen of us but we are growing.
Don’t forget about your going Galt activities:

I cut my Comcast today (Comcast is a major Obama supporter); that’s roughly $1,700 per year less for Comcast. Imagine if a third or half of their subscriber base were to cut the cord, that’s a $15 billion hit to their bottom line.
NOT A THING! If Texas (and hopefully CA) starts getting serious about secession, I'll be using my daughter as an anchor baby and moving back there. She was born in Austin.
Start reading books on the French, German and Russian underground.
Oklahoma NOT CA. Sorry.
We should also start learning to speak Spanish and Manderin.
All well and good except that the spineless Repubs will cave yet again.
Right off the top I would suggest that FReepers man the hell up and lean on congress hard. One of the first orders of business is to get Johnny the Jellyfish out of there and put a conservative in the speaker’s position.
Too old to learn much. Teach them 308
¡Si, Se Puede!
Great article. Gimics for Cash from the Galactically Stupid are already abounding. Eventually, when we recover from our politically induced shock, we are going to realize God’s own Hand in this tragedy, and look to Him rather than ourselves and upon the affairs of men.
But, if you are devout, then moving to Texas and Oklahoma is not a bad idea.
Freepers used to be great for money bombs but I haven’t seen one in a while.
We have to take back this country one battle at a time. Could we do a money bomb for Allen West?
Two of my kids were born in Texas, and four in Oklahoma ;-). If the TX-OK-LA OilState gets going, we’ll be immigrants. My husband is a TechnoMage, and I speak Spanish!
Win super majorities in 2014 in the Senate and House I am so sick over this surely there is something we can do to stop the liberal agenda We need to write and call our Congressmen and Senators and let them know that we will hold them accountable for it if there is an onslaught of liberal bills being passed. We can protest and the number one thing and most important is prayer.
“One of the first orders of business is to get Johnny the Jellyfish out of there and put a conservative in the speaker’s position.”
I second that emotion. Never get anything our way with that sucker as Speaker. He’s too Chickensh—t!
I would like to see Eric Cantor as the Speaker of the House
Louisiana, Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Arizona to start.
