Keeping an Eye on "The One" Barack Obama
I saw this video today here at Frank’s Posterous. It is awesome. Freedom and liberty are still the things Americans are made of… it helps to be reminded every now and then though. Watch this video and then remind your senator and your representatives in the house to vote no on this crappy and unconstitutional health care takeover they’re considering. The month of August will be pivotal so use it to drive home your message. Let them know they will be voted out and sent home if they vote yes.
Cap and Tax… National Energy Tax… or my personal favorite… “a pile of sh#t” to quote Rep. John Boehnor. These are the names folks with common sense call The Ones Cap and Trade bill. You won’t get the administration to call it that though. They want to call it a global warming bill or a climate bill, or some other cute and fuzzy name. BS! This is a huge tax on the American people. That would be YOU and me. I already know it, but if you’re not paying attention to what’s happening in Washington you don’t.
Let me give you just a few things to think about, a few things to consider courtesy of The Heritage Foundation. Here’s just a taste of how The One is about to screw you if you don’t tell your senator to VOTE NO on this bill when it gets in front of them. Tell them it’s either no on cap and trade or they go home come election time.
HOW IT AFFECTS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY PERSONALLY
- Raises your electricity rates 90 percent after adjusting for inflation
example: $500/mo to $950/mo- Raises your inflation-adjusted gasoline prices by 58 percent
example: $2.50/gal to $3.95/gal- Raises your residential natural gas prices by 55 percent
example: $300/mo to $465/mo- Raises your average family’s annual energy bill by $1,241
HOW IT AFFECTS YOUR COUNTRY
- Reduce aggregate gross domestic product (GDP) by $9.4 trillion
USA will be $9.4 trillion poorer in ten years than without it- Destroy 1,145,000 jobs on average, with peak years seeing unemployment rise by over 2,479,000 jobs
Does not need explaining
The House voted on this monstrosity without even reading it. They don’t even know what’s in it. The Senate has voted on the last two monstrosities… the stimulus and the budget, without reading them. The amount of control over your life and liberty this bill takes away from you is breathtaking and they didn’t even have the decencey to read it. Look again at the the costs above and think how just these will affect your life and then realize that it’s being done for this:
“…a 90-year program that, as calculated by climatologists, will lower temperatures by only hundredths of a degree in 2050 and no more than two-tenths of a degree at the end of the century. …all for a change in world temperature that might not be noticeable.”
This is nuts and we have to stand up now and stop it. Contact your senator, do it now and do it often. Be a royal pain in their A#S. Be persistent but polite. Find a TeaParty in your area and GO. Get involved and we can still turn this thing around.
It’s been three months since my last post and I had hoped that the craziness would subside and reason or at least some semblance of it might just appear out of the blue or somethin’. Who was I kidding? The One, the Senate, and the House have gone from crazy to crazy dangerous. They’ve gone from being a nuisance to a nightmare. The difference being— all you have to do to get rid of a nightmare is wake up. Waking up’s only the first thing we’re gonna have to do.
So much has happened in such a short time. This statist administration is moving at breakneck speed to take as much liberty and freedom from us as possible. It’s not just democrats either, there were eight repubes today willing to sell out their constituents and their country for some kind of payoffs or earmarks. We don’t know what they received yet, but there’s no doubt they got something. We’ll know soon enough. Here are their names and numbers just in case you don’t know:
Bono Mack (CA) (202) 225-5330
Castle (DE) (202) 225-4165
Kirk (IL) (202) 225-4385 (And he’s seriously considering running for Senate!)
Lance (NJ) (202) 225-5361
LoBiondo (NJ) (202) 225-6572
McHugh (NY) (202) 225-4611
Reichert (WA) (202) 225-7761
Smith (NJ) (202) 225-3765
Those eight made the difference… the final vote on the Cap and Tax bill was 219 – 212. Without the eight statist repubes this bill does not pass. We can still make sure that the senate does not pass this disaster though. Do not let up.
It’s no longer a republican or democrat thing, it’s a freedom and liberty thing. These tools in the house, the senate, and the whitehouse want power… nothing else. There is no other way to explain their actions. Look, they passed a bill in the house tonight based on an assumption — man-made global warming — the rest of the world is coming to realize is crap. They also ignored the pitiful economy killing results of a country — Spain — who has already forced “greening the economy” on it’s people. Their results being a cost of $750,000 – $1.4 million per “green job” created and around 2 jobs lost for every one new “green job”‘ created. Spain is who The One used as his example for who we should emulate. I think someone put some crack in the cigarettes our Dear Leader has been smoking.
Knowing only these facts makes it impossible to believe they have America’s best interest in mind. It can only be their best interest that they’re thinking of. Screw them!!! They will continue unless we stop them by getting rid of their worthless butts next election. DO IT!!
