Obama health plans revive tea parties
Washington Times ^ | August 11, 2009 | Donald Lambro

Posted on 08/11/2009 12:20:05 PM PDT by libstripper

''Tea party" protesters are rallying their troops once again this summer and zeroing in on the Democrats' health care legislation after launching a grass-roots rebellion nationwide against big government and taxes earlier this year.

Protest leaders say health care has risen to the top of their battle plans not only because of the massive costs of such overhauls but because the "government-run" legislation working its way through Congress encroaches on the freedoms of all Americans, as the political debate on the issue intensified last week, fueled by angry crowds at ongoing town-hall meetings hosted by members of Congress across the country.

The leftist communist politicians and the rino liberals have joined together to destroy our nation and they do not intend to let the majority of Americans stand in the way of their obvious power grab.
The pols have no respects and know that the Obamination administration can count on most of the foolish in America to support their hostile take over of America.

It is not so much reviving it...because it is alive and well in any case...but it is adding great fuel to the fire, and deservedly so.

The health care debate has blown the lid off and fueled the anger and resntment of Americans everywhere at the actions of this administration. Iit's time to carry it through on this issue and every other similiar issue (like Cap & Trade, FOCA, etc.) that these wanna-be tyrants propose.

President Barack Hussein Obama said on August 7, 2009, that he expected the people who caused the financial and health care mess to be quiet, stand out of the way, and let it be fixed. Well, Mr. President, if you do not want the people who created this mess standing in the way of fixing it, then you, Mr. Obama...and Pelosi, Reid, Dodd, Frank, et all had best step out of the way yourselves. Because you not only helped engineer the problems that ensured the fiasco...you are now intent on making it immeasurably worse in your drive towards abject marxism.

In order to hide this, and in an effort to push their monstrosity Health Care, the liberal-left and Obama seem intent on turning the frustration and angst of the American people over his policies into something more akin to Iran over this issue, with their own Basij thugs sent out to silence us, and Obama supporters called on by the Whitehouse to report any dissent.

MY LETTER TO THE WHITEHOUSE AND OBAMA ABOUT FREE SPEECH

Despite all this, the American people are downloading the Dem Health Care Plan HERE and elsewhere and educating themselves.

They are also reading the cited quotes of the main architect of the plan and Chief Advisor to Obama on Health Care HERE and elsewhere, and seeing the context of the plan from the designer of it.

So, when Sarah Palin callis it evil, they know for themselves that she speaks the truth.

So they continue to take their feelings...and their own documentation...to their reps and gett in their faces about it.

Tea party was good enough for our forefathers and it’s good enough for me. But it is a nice alternative...

Last I heard, the nationwide local teaparty was scheduled for August 22nd.

You might go to the teaparty website to see what they have to say.

Hello all. I'd like to see some creative freepers and others start a national campaign to coincide with the opposition to socialized health care.

Why not have yard signs we can all purchase and put in our front yards???. I can see millions of yard signs across America....impacting our clueless neighbors!!!
I can do my own of course but would love to see this as part of the tea party express or other opposition groups.

I’ll tell you....in some cases you have to be quite a detective to find out WHERE AND WHEN these Town Halls are being held. Case in point, Sherrod Brown of Ohio... while his website says he will be traveling throughout the state this month, his office REFUSES to give out his schedule of town halls...first saying for “security” reasons, then they tell me to check the website, but I pointed out that the website gives only information on PAST events, nothing about future events, then they tell me they just don’t KNOW his schedule! Right. Staff for a Senator doesn’t know his schedule!!

I think you can add and include new and additional names but you can never change tea party. How would you do it? It’s like Baghdad Bob. After he got his name people thought of other and, perhaps better names for him. But Baghdad Bob was what caught on, and Baghdad Bob he stayed. He probably is STILL called that more than anything else.

How About “SCREW YOU” parties. Not you personally, the government, I mean.
