Three Republican Senators Bring Socialism
HumanEvents.com ^ | 2/9/2009 | Connie Hair

Posted on 02/09/2009 6:53:23 AM PST by 2nd amendment mama

America’s future in freedom hangs in the balance as three RINO senators on Friday announced they will join Democrats in their scheme to move this country irretrievably down the path to socialism. Senators Arlen Specter (R-Pa.), Susan Collins (R-Maine) and Olympia Snowe (R-Maine) have indicated they will vote for the $1.3 trillion “stimulus” spending bill that purposes none other than precisely that outcome. The non-partisan Congressional Budget Office ruled that less than 20 percent of the bill could in any way be considered stimulative.

The vote for cloture in the Senate is scheduled for 5:30 pm today. If cloture is invoked, debate would end on the 778-page bill that was not released to the Senate until 11:00 pm Saturday.

At noon on Tuesday the bill will be subject to another 60 vote hurdle by either waiving a budget point of order or achieving 60 votes on final passage. This bill that will ground this country in socialism will have passed the “greatest deliberative body in the world” with only one small window of debate on the bill as actually written on Monday afternoon.

These three Republican senators should forever be held accountable for bringing unfettered socialism to bear on the American people. Remember their names -- Specter, Collins, Snowe -- and let this forever be their legacy.

On the Senate floor Friday, Specter and Collins tried to justify their move by suggesting they were able to cut some spending out of the bill. It should be noted here that none were able to see their way through to cut the $4.2 billion slated for ACORN and like groups for “community stabilization.” An amendment offered by David Vitter (R-La.) that would bar ACORN from eligibility for these funds was voted down 51-45. ACORN, the group that once employed President Obama as a community organizer, is under federal investigation by the FBI for organized voter registration fraud, among other things.

The $820 billion (pre-debt service total) House version of the bill that so outraged Americans would have actually cost $7 billion less than this Senate “compromise” bill being touted by the three Republican sellouts. Democrats are already indicating that the $827 billion was an optimistic number on this “compromise,” yet once the servicing of the debt is added in at $827 billion, the cost is already over $1.3 trillion dollars.

Sen. Carl Levin (D-Mich.) told reporters last week when the bill goes to conference to be reconciled with the House version, he wanted expenditures cut from the Senate “compromise” bill put back in during the leadership huddle with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Ca.).

Sen. Ben Nelson (D-Neb.), co-author of this so-called compromise, released staggering numbers in a chart giving subtotals of each category of spending (The numbers at the link are in thousands. I adjusted the figures below to include all actual zeroes in these massive numbers -- keep in mind this is in addition to the omnibus appropriations bill coming to Congress in the next week or two):

Agriculture: $5,109,430,000 Commerce: $21,513,000,000 Defense: $3,746,000,000 Energy & Water: $53,843,000,000 Financial & Gen. Govt: $10,762,000,000 Homeland Security: $5,076,700,000 Interior: $11,643,600,000 Labor, HHS, Education: $169,184,000,000 Military & VA: $7,428,295,000 THUD: $60,580,500,000 Appropriations: $365,629,525,000

Notice Democrats did not break out the over $365 billion labeled “appropriations” for scrutiny when they released these preliminary numbers on Friday. By far, the largest expenditures in the remainder of these slightly more categorized numbers show hundreds of billions of dollars in payoffs to decades-long Democrat constituencies: the left-wingnut global warming loons, government takeover of healthcare, subsidized housing, payoffs to teachers’ unions and building contractors. One can only at this point imagine the hundreds of billions allotted to their pet constituencies in the “appropriations” portion of the bill.

Never before in history has there been a $1.3 trillion dollar spending bill; supplemental, stimulus or otherwise. This isn’t yet the actual omnibus spending bill for fiscal year 2009 that was pulled off of last week’s House calendar by Pelosi lest it hurt the chances for passage of this spending orgy. That additional omnibus spending bill is expected to cost taxpayers another half-trillion dollars in borrowed money. None of these spending bills include the expansion of TARP, the coming ask for hundreds of billions of dollars in additional bank bailout funds expected by legislators in the coming week(s). Nor does this include the tens of billions for the Auto Workers’ Union disguised as a bailout for the Big Three auto industry.

Democrats over the weekend had the audacity to term this a “bi-partisan” bill. Make no mistake: of the 219 Republican members of both the House and the Senate, Democrats may manage to get a whopping three Republican traitors to vote for this transfer of wealth out of the private sector. That hardly qualifies as bi-partisan, especially given that 11 Democrats voted against it in the House.

Lest you believe that my opening statement “America’s future in freedom hangs in the balance,” to be hyperbole, I would remind you that last week we saw President Obama place a limit on how much money an entity who receives bailout money can pay their executives. That was quickly followed by Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.) proposing legislation that would restrict compensation to executives in all financial institutions and could encompass all U.S. companies. The legislation would give the Federal Reserve, an entity that is unelected and completely unaccountable to the American people, the authority to monitor systemic risk in the economy and, according to Barney Frank, shut down financial institutions that face too much exposure. What we are witnessing is a government takeover -- socialism on the march -- actually now at a full-blown sprint under Democrat leadership.

The American people in multiple polls overwhelmingly object to this disastrous spending bill by upwards of 63% on Friday. A grassroots effort has sprung up led by members of the website FreeRepublic.com calling on folks to lobby the three RINO senators in person. They’ve got folks flying in for the effort that begins at 10:00 am on Monday from as far away as California.

As Winston Churchill said in a speech in 1941 as he battled the takeover by force of England by National Socialists (Nazis), “Never give in, never give in, never, never, never, never-in nothing, great or small, large or petty -- never give in except to convictions of honor and good sense.”

The GOP/RNC has to come out and specifically state that they are against socialism, and that they will do everything within their power to reverse this trend. If they sit quietly and let this garbage happen, then it is time for a new party to replace them. Steele better have some steel in his spine, and he shouldn't be afraid to throw this trio under the bus if necessary.

This Stickittous Bill is not a done deal.

We can stop Obama and the other Devil Worshipin', Satanic Inspired, Communists from passing this.  And, when we do, we will sap Obama of any confidence in getting anything done.  If we don't he will be so pumped up that he will continue to pass, with the collusion of congress, more legislation and bills that will further erode your rights.

 

Take two (2) actions, today, that will have a powerful impact on defeating this bill that will Stick It To US.

 

Contact 10 Senators by phone today. 

 

That is, you need to get to a human being and make it clear that you DO NOT WANT this Stickittous Bill to pass.  

 

Tell the assistant to the Senator you are going to be brief and simply say "I am opposed to the so called Stimulus Bill and I urge the Senator to vote No.  Thank you and please urge the Senator to VOTE NO."

 

There is no need to go into some tirade and you have better things to anyway (like contact 9 more senators offices).  It will be enough to implore the senator to VOTE NO.

The Second powerful action you can take is go to 10 senators websites and make clear, once again, that you do not want this bill to pass and you strongly urge the senator to vote no.

 

The 3 senators you absolutely must contact are the RINO’s.  Make sure you call Senator Snowe of Maine.  She thinks she is a movie star and made the rounds on TV and other news organizations this weekend.  She looked very proud and had the biggest smile.   With enough calls you can get her to change her mind.

Snowe, Olympia J. - (R - ME)

(202) 224-5344

(202) 224-2523

Web Form: collins.senate.gov/public/continue.cfm?FuseAction=Contact...

Web Form: specter.senate.gov/public/index.cfm?FuseAction=Contact.Co...

 

And,

Absolutely, contact your two senators who represent the state you live in.

 

The senators use websites with forms that enable them to organize the communication they receive logically.  It is a good thing but does require a little extras work on your part to make the message clear and unmistakable, VOTE NO

Here is what you do:

  1. Look for anything that says something like email me or contact me, click on it.
  2. A form will come up asking you to fill in your name, address, phone number, etc.
  3. under that will be a drop down form that says something like:
  • What is the topic of your message?

                                                            or

·         What is the general topic of your message?

 

Possible choices may show the Stimulus Bill or may not

 

If the Stimulus bill is not listed, copy/paste the following in the subject line:

"Stimulus Bill”  Vote No

 

In the body before you type your message and at the end copy/paste the following in the subject line:

"Stimulus Bill”  Vote No

 

Type your heart out and make clear you DO NOT WANT THIS?

 

Here is the list of every Senator Website.  Just click on the name or where it says "Web Form" and flame away.

Is there any way that we can get reports that show the balance of "Go" / "NO Go" calls are to the Senate offices?

Three un-wise men/women bringing our children's treasure to honor the false messiah.

Begging for a PhotoShop of Sens. Specter, Collins and Snowe with Obama-messiah in a manger. Add in “Animal Farm” characters for good measure. Sen. Reid and Speaker Palosi as poor excuses of Joesph and Mary round out the farce.

-- Collins is now mad at the Dems....Snowe follows Collins...call them both, call them now!!! Collins will vote first of the 3 on the roll call --

A couple points. Procedurally, Collins name comes up first in the roll call, but she doesn't have to vote the first time her name is called. I have never, not one time, seen the voting completed on the first time through the membership roll.

As for which of them will vote with the Democrats, they probably calculate which of them has least to lose, or is least likely to suffer the ultimate fate (lose an election) as a consequence of the vote. Collins just won re-election, and isn't up again until 2014, by which time memories will be long faded. As between her and Snowe, she's a natural to take the unpopular stand.

Finally, Collins and Snowe will take this vote both ways ... voting to limit debate to 30 hours takes a 60 vote supermajority of exactly 60 votes, but passage takes a simple majority of those voting (51 or fewer). Collins will vote to limit debate (where she could vote the other way, and effectively force serious negotiations), and claim that she voted against the bill, assuming she votes against it when the time comes for final passage.

Calling them is a waste of breath. The Senate and Congress would suffer great unease if the public gave them the silent treatment.

The 59 Dims don't give Obozo the cover of ‘bipartisanship’. The three Quislings do. And make it harder for the GOP to use the bailout's failure [and it will fail] as an issue they can hang solely on the Dims.

If all the Dems pick-off is 3 RINOs that means the GOP had 98.6% solidarity against Porkulus.

You can't expect better than that.

If that bill is too socialist for Voinovich then it scares the hell out of me.

“These three Republican senators should forever be held accountable for bringing unfettered socialism to bear on the American people. Remember their names — Specter, Collins, Snowe — and let this forever be their legacy.”
__________________________________________________________

THESE THREE MIGHT RESPOND TO A AVALANCHE OF NEGATIVE CALLS, MAIL, EMAIL, PHONEING REPEATEDLY. IT IS ONE THING TO MAKE FALSE BRAVO STATEMENTS AND ANOTHER TO ACTUALLY FACE THE DISPLEASURE OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.

Right up to the passing of this bill ... there is still the possibility of changing it ...

Let me be more clear. The bill got 58 or 59 Dim votes, whatever the final number was, because the Dims were under great pressure from their leadership and from the WH to vote yes.

First off, I have that tripe before. While it is true they are elected by their constituents to represent that state, they do in fact represent all of the United States and territories.

Every vote they make has real consequences for each and every American.

When they vote for this Stick it To US Bill they are taking money from every single American that pays Federal taxes to support this boondogle.

So it is a shallow statement that insults the intellect of those who see through this.

You can tell that senator that is BS! They are casting votes for the state represent but the outcome affects all of us.

Michael Steele should think up a significant punishment for these goons. It could be his first important task.
