They are going to ram this through without letting the public see it at all.

Have they released the final conference report yet? Do we really know what's in the final version?

Is there anything lower than pond scum ‘cause that’s what they are. How many of them actually READ THE WHOLE THING!
And I’m not talking about the “cliff notes” their aides gave them.

Hitler should have had it so good. Euthanasia to kill off the elderly so the Social Security system is less burdened! And, Congress will never have to vote to kill them. It will be done by the HHS Secretary who is just following orders. The lives of America’s elderly will soon be worthless, just like their 401(k)s! BWAHAHAHAHAHA!

There is no longer any room for hope. If we wish to be free--if we mean to preserve inviolate those inestimable privileges for which we have been so long contending--if we mean not basely to abandon the noble struggle in which we have been so long engaged, and which we have pledged ourselves never to abandon until the glorious object of our contest shall be obtained--we must fight! I repeat it, sir, we must fight! An appeal to arms and to the God of hosts is all that is left us!

They tell us, sir, that we are weak; unable to cope with so formidable an adversary. But when shall we be stronger? Will it be the next week, or the next year? Will it be when we are totally disarmed, and when a British guard shall be stationed in every house? Shall we gather strength but irresolution and inaction? Shall we acquire the means of effectual resistance by lying supinely on our backs and hugging the delusive phantom of hope, until our enemies shall have bound us hand and foot?

Sir, we are not weak if we make a proper use of those means which the God of nature hath placed in our power. The millions of people, armed in the holy cause of liberty, and in such a country as that which we possess, are invincible by any force which our enemy can send against us.

Besides, sir, we shall not fight our battles alone. There is a just God who presides over the destinies of nations, and who will raise up friends to fight our battles for us. The battle, sir, is not to the strong alone; it is to the vigilant, the active, the brave.

Besides, sir, we have no election. If we were base enough to desire it, it is now too late to retire from the contest. There is no retreat but in submission and slavery!

- Patrick Henry, March 23, 1775

In a court of law documents have to be presented in a forthright manner. What makes the Democratic Congress and the Obama myth sitting in the Oval office above the law? How could anyone in good conscience vote for this bill when they have no idea what is in it and the scope of it is beyond anything that any court of law in this country has ever dealt with?
The vote tomorrow is a vote against the rule of law and a vote against our Constitution.

New definition of transperency - We will let you see what’s in the bill after it becomes law.

Our “friends” at Democratic Underground think this is quite funny. I’ve been banned there half a dozen times. The last time I made it to over 1,500 posts before they figured out that I was only there to expose their stupidity and treacherous intentions. I think it’s time to create a new DU identity. I miss fu**ing with those idiots.

This is a copy of a letter I sent to Ann Coulter. I sent a variation of this same email to other News networks and online news Editors and columnists. We need to get the word out.

Dear Ann,

I participated in a very informative conference call last tonight with Tim Phillips from “Americans for Prosperity” and Congressman Eric Cantor regarding the latest on the “Stimulus Bill.” There were over 10,000 American citizens on the phone listening in on the conference call. The Public needs to know something very important is happening today with this Stimulus Bill. It is a tragedy beyond words!!

As you are aware, a majority of the Senators and Congressmen have not received or read the revised Bill which will be voted on today. This is unacceptable to the American people. It will be a disaster if the House or Senate vote today for a revised Bill that no one has seen or read thoroughly not to mention had an opportunity to conference.

As mentioned in the media, Nancy Pelosi held a closed conference two nights ago where hundreds of pages were added (new mystery spending) and a majority of the Congress has not even been permitted to read this Bill. What was added in this SECRET MEETING? The Public deserves to know what Nancy Pelosi’s team is hiding. Are the House and Senate forced by law to vote today? The Democrats should at least be shamed by someone like you revealing publically the secret way they added pages of taxpayer spending to the bill last night, not releasing the revised bill, and then turning around today and forcing Congress to vote.

I wish you could help to alert the Public. People listen to you. This is a corrupt business practice that should never be permitted to occur in our Democratic government.

Now it looks like Nancy Pelosi can force Congress to vote on something they haven’t even read. Before we can even gasp or discuss the content of this new Bill, we have to shout to the Public what will happen today. This is intentional deception and manipulation. The American people are being deceived. Both the House and the Senate disrespect us entirely if they proceed to vote before they have had sufficient time to read and review this Bill or any Bill.

This Government feels like a Dictatorship as opposed to a Democracy. How is it that Nancy Pelosi can arbitrarily change the laws by which Congress functions? Her rules don’t seem Democratic. There should be a time to read and conference any changes made on this Bill at a minimum.

We need the Public to know what is going on. We all need to know what Pelosi’s team is doing. Thank you for listening. There are millions of Americans who want an open, honest and ethical Government and that is not what we have today. Please continue to help keep everyone honest.

Sincerely,

This monstrosity has grown to over 1500 pages. No one will be able to read it or comprehend it in 48 hours.

The people voting on this bill really don't know what is in there. They are compartmentalized. Anything could be in there.

Democraps LYIN’ ????? Say it ain’t so!

I’m always SHOCKED, but NEVER SURPRISED by what they say and do!

They TOTALLY SHUT OUT the GOP from the process, and they
keep the details of the bill from the public!

They pack this “so-called economic stimulus” with their
PORK cra* and then RUSH to cram it down our throats!

There is $$ BILLIONS for ACORN, and a provision that starts
NATIONALIZED HEALTH CARE in the U.S., and ZERO effective
tax cuts to stimulate the economy !!

What a crock!!

To: cc2k; All

I fired off an email to Sen McCaskill, The Dem from Missouri. On her home page she bragged about teaming up with McCain to introduce legislation to stop government waste. What a hypocrite!
Below is the text of my email..

Senator McCaskill,

How can you vote for the $800 billion stimulus bill when you can’t even read the final version of the bill before voting?? We were told there was going to be a 48 hour public review of the stimulus. How can anyone read through over 600 words per minute and thoroughly research the bill in less that 12 hours?

It is totally irresponsible to vote on something so important, but not thoroughly studied.

You have totally forgotten another headline on your home page about joining with McCain to stop wasteful spending. Here is the text...

“Washington, D.C. – As Congress gets to work in the New Year, U.S. Senator Claire McCaskill today reached across the aisle with Senator Russ Feingold (D-WI) to colleagues Senators John McCain (R-AZ), Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and Tom Coburn (R-OK) to introduce a major earmark reform bill that would cut down on wasteful government spending.”

You are a hypocrite Senator McCaskill!! Just like the rest of this so called Obama administration of “transparency and accountability”. If you can vote for the stimulus bill as it sits, knowing there are billions of dollars going to waste, and sleep good tonight, so be it.

We won’t forget next election. The master you serve is not the people you represent.

Defiantly,

o_zarkman44
