Well, I just think that if the intention was to “impress” the media or the legislators, it would only have worked if their seats were actually at risk. But since there are enough Dems that Pelosi can “allow” several to be “released” as concealment, these things have little impact.

We don’t use common language here. We’re in this fight to the end of this health care bill. We must stick together, but with decency and toughness. Scuse me.

And in Texas we have just the Gov to do it too. He’s already spoken the word. I’ve read if we go, so does LA and OK.

Put it in one of their own envelopes and make them pay the postage.

We agree on that. But, as you know, I’ve been saying since last March that we’re past the point emails, calls, faxes...and even traveling to D.C. to stand on the lawn and patronize the merchants.

I don’t understand all this negativity man.
The whole healthcare program thingy is going to be paid for by Obama out of his stash anyway.

Unbelievable arrogance of the left puppet masters.

The revolution will occur at the ballot box in 2010 and 2012. Until then, our job is to stop ObamaCare and cap n tax.

I think simpler is better myself. Maybe the big plastic signs they use in presidential campaigns that read "STOP THE GOVERNMENT TAKEOVER OF YOUR HEALTHCARE".

Just an idea to start with, would love to see other ideas, Free Repubic's some of the best talent out there.

Or we could put

“Stop Government takeover of Healthcare”

“KILL THE BILL!”

Yes, he's spoken the word, but Governor Goodhair doesn't have all that stiff of a spine. From what I've seen, he's as liable to drift with one current, as another. The current with the tea parties just happened to be running very strong when he made the statements about secession and so-forth.

I really can't say where he'd stand if the SHTF.

Bill Owens campaigned on this; he was always for health care...no Scozzafava would not have voted for health care as she is a fiscal conservative. The reality is had the election proceeded without Hoffman and all the drama, health care might have been stopped...impossible to tell because some of the Dems who voted against it were allowed to after getting enough votes to pass it...sad day.

This take over of our country didn't just happen with this administration. It's been a work in progress for the last hundred years or so.

It got held up some with two world wars and a depression.the people had seen what had happened in Europe with Stalin and Hitler and where more alert .

They also had better morals, believed in God and the fact that we were founded a Christian nation.

Unfortunately some learned the power of propaganda and had seen how easy it was to take over a country even one based on freedom with a little patience and perseverance.

The main things in the way where the Constitution and the people's belief that their rights and moral guidance came from God and man's/ government could not be trusted.

This had to be changed.These were the areas that were attacked. We were told God was dead and His teachings intolerant. We were told our Constitution was just an old outdated document and that we should allow our government to take care of us and place our hope and trust in them and not worry about it, after all we were all Americans.

Most of us did and still do.

God's truth and right and wrong are unchangeable,eternal. Man's truth and right and wrong are flexible and convenient.

When a people or their leaders or both reject God gives them over to what He calls a reprobate [worthless]mind and this is what they become:

Rom 1:28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

Rom 1:29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,

Rom 1:30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

Rom 1:31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:

Rom 1:32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

the only thing I see is to return to God, pray for our country, seek forgiveness,quit accepting the propaganda of the lesser of two evils. We have to try to break the strangle hold these two parties republicrats have on our elected officials and the strangle hold that the bankers, wall street,oil,insurance,pharmaceutical,etc. companies have on them.

the end time government that is taken over by the anti- Christ is one based on trade and commerce in bed with and control of Western world politicians.

He knows where Texans stand..He is a Texan..not many have spines made of cooked noodles..maybe transplants, but most Texans I’ve met, including the women are pretty strong in their belief of America and What she is. We are free thinking, free talking, not afraid to work, but for a few, and not afraid to take a stand for OUR Freedom. We will not stand for socialist government, just as Alaska will not stand for a socialist government. (I’m both, Alaskan, first, Texan by choice)

STOP SOCIALISM IN IT’S TRACKS.

IN 1773 AMERICANS MADE A SUCESSFUL STAND FOR FREEDOM, LET’S DO IT IN 2009, 2010, 2012!

COMMUNISM, SOCIALISM, ISLOMISM IS NOT AMERICA’S BAG.

REPLACE DEMOCRATS(COMMUNISTS) WITH CONSERVATIVES(AMERICAN)

FREEDOM STOPS JUST BEFORE MY WORDS HIT YOUR NOSE.

I would also like to see some viral marketing of a simple, easy to read adn digest synopsis of the bribes that were paid by the stimulus money and MoveOn.org to AMA, AARP, pharmaceutical companies, others...

This needs to be in front of the CNN and NPR watchers as they’re the ones we need to go after. The Glen Beck and Rush crowd is already convinced.

Any thoughts?

I would say, find a way to start denying the Rats in the cities of heat this winter. They can’t have heat if they can’t afford the heating oil. I’d like to see a plan for spiking the price.

Won't work sufficiently. heating oil, yes, but not gas. Laws in place prevent the gas company from turning off the gas in winter.
