THEPATRIOTJOURNAL.COM: The Revolution Is Only Beginning
The Revolution Is Only Beginning
The time has come my fellow Patriotic Americans. The democrats are going to try to ram government health care down our throats on Tuesday or Wednesday of next week. Since we do not have the Conservative votes to stop it, we must again put on the full court press to all those democrats and or republicans who might have the stupid idea that they are going to get away with passing this bill and surviving politically. We have all suffered too much and worked to hard to stop this in the last 6 months to let up now. The leftists are relentless but we are more relentless. They expect us to tire of the fight. They don't know us very well then, because we are never going to let them destroy our country and get away with it. They do not realize the depth of our anger, or the strength of our resolve. I dare them to pass it, no I double dare them to pass it. I want a Conservative Congress next year and a Conservative President in 2012. After that we can work on an amendment to the Constitution that will de-federalize our country once and for all.
This week I implore you to contact your local Representative in the House of Representatives and your two Senators in the Senate and tell them that they will not get your vote if they vote this health care bill into law. Tell them that you will campaign fervently for their opponents regardless of party. They need to know again that we mean business and that they "represent" use they do not "rule" us. Remind them that we pay the light bill in the Capitol not them. We can stop this if we make them think twice at the moment of truth. Whip it up this week and get everyone on the phone to the Capitol switch board and to their local offices. We need to burn the lines to the Capitol like we did this summer. Do not let them lull us now. Remember if they hadn't had any doubts before, this the bill would have already passed months ago. Scare them all and let them know that they are going to be coming back to the public sector next year if they pass this.
Let's not let this revolution stop, win or lose. Our goal ultimately is to de-federalize our country back to what the founders allowed in the Constitution. The leftists have had us on the run and we are not running anymore. We are turning around and we are going to kick them back to before the Federal Reserve was created. Everyone I know is sick to death with government dictating our lives. We are going to return this country back to having a government of the people and for the people, and not for the politically connected or the screaming lobby groups. If you don't like the United States of America as presented in the Declaration of Independence and governed by the Constitution, move to another country. Love it or leave it! I am sick of the anti-Americanism that exists here in our wonderful homeland. It is what fuels the fools that we have elected to Congress. Hopefully all of America is awake to what is going on and heed my words to conquer this communist takeover from within. Rome fell in the 5th century, Communism in America will fall in the 21st century.
The telephone number for the Capitol switchboard is (202) 224-3121
Call the number then ask for your Representative and/or Senators then leave a message with their staff or leave a voicemail message for them. They will know you called trust me. A phone call can make all the difference!
Here is a link to the telephone numbers and fax numbers etc. for nearly every politician from the state level up. Call, fax and e-mail these people. Let them know how you feel!

Eleven years ago, I remember sitting behind my computer and typing out an email to then President Bill Clinton concerning the sustainability of Social Security. Word out of the White House was that SS was running into funding problems as the boomers retire. I've heard noone talking about this in quite some time. With Ntl. Healthcare ready to be rammed into existance, I think it's an angle we should be talking about. Seniors are scared enough about their healthcare. If they stand a chance of loosing SS, may be what is needed to curtail any tailwinds. Art Reply to this

Michael, Great post. One thing that I was thinking about was an email I sent to then President Bill Clinton about 11 years ago. The debate at the time was concerning the sustainability of Social Security. I haven't heard much said about it's solvency since. With Ntnl Healthcare getting ready to be rammed down everybody's throat, why have we not been bringing up this issue since the government is about to tax our kid's futures with a trillion dollar program? You know as well as I do that there is no way 400 million dollars will be cut from Medicare and still give seniors the care they've enjoyed for so long. Couple that with the chance of loosing Social Security, I don't think any senior would want to put that burden on their kids. Reply to this
Government programs are designed to rock you to sleep so the government can then take your freedoms. Now the government under Obama is trying to make a huge leap and are going to leave casualties in the wake including seniors and medicare. Social Security is criminal, in fact I could do an entire article on the evils of Social Security. We all need to educate people that government control of any part of your life means less choice and freedoms and more cost for you. I am afraid that the left is going to cause a civil war by trying to control everyone via government. To prevent a complete catastrophe we need to pass an amendment closing every loophole in the Constitution the left has used to expand government.

Michael, This is the best entry so far. I called D.Feinstien in DC the other day. Talked to one of her aids. I was telling him why do they have the most radical people in the white house? He could not answer that but went on to say concerning the water in California the other side meaning the greenies have such a loud loud voice. We as patrotic americans HAVE to be loud and shout and scream. We HAVE to support the VOTERS WITH CHANGE and were going to HAVE to be involved. You have said it so well my friend. Wish you could be on every front page newspaper in America. Tell everyone to resend or repost this article to everyone they know. Keep Well God Bless m montgomery Reply to this

Thank you for the kind words. You are right, we all need to shout as loud as we can by ringing their phones off the hook. Jamming their fax machines, and clogging their e-mail addresses. They need to know that a huge grassroots movement is going to hunt them down and vote them out if they pass this. We are more determined than they are and they are all going to lose this in the end. If they vote it in we vote them out then with a new Congress we demand they repeal it with the same intensity. Reply to this

The following four-step scenario describes a rare parliamentary procedure that liberals plan to use to get Obamacare through the Senate:
Step 1: The Senate Finance Committee must first approve the marked-up version of Sen. Max Baucus’ (D.-Mont.) conceptual framework. Then Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D.-Nev.) can say that two Senate Committees have passed a health care bill, which will allow him to take extraordinary steps to get the bill on the Senate floor.
Step 2: Sen. Reid will take the final product of the Senate Finance Committee and merge it with the product of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) Committee, which passed on a party-line vote in July.
Usually, a bill is voted out of committee, and then the Senate takes up the final product of the committee so that all 100 senators can have a hand in the process.
Step 3: Now, Obamacare will be ready to hitch a ride on an unrelated bill from the House. Sen. Reid will move to proceed to H.R. 1586, a bill to impose a tax on bonuses received by certain TARP recipients. This bill was passed by the House in the wake of the AIG bonus controversy and is currently sitting on the Senate Legislative Calendar. This bill has absolutely nothing to do with healthcare, not one mention!
The move to proceed needs 60 votes to start debate. After the motion is approved, Sen. Reid will offer Obamacare as a complete substitute to the unrelated House-passed bill. This means that the entire healthcare reform effort will be included as an amendment to a TARP bill that has been collecting dust in the Senate for months.
Step 4: For this strategy to work, the proponents would need to hold together the caucus of 58 Democrats and the two Independent senators (Joe Lieberman and Bernie Sanders). These members will have to all hold hands and vote against any filibuster. Once the Senate takes up the bill, only a simple majority of members will be needed for passage. It’s possible one of the endangered moderate Democrats, such as Sen. Blanche Lincoln (Ark.), could vote to stop a filibuster then vote against Obamacare because by then his vote will not be needed.
Once the Senate passes a bill and sends it to the House, all the House would have to do is pass the bill without changes and President Obama will be presented with his health care reform measure.
Folks, this is a flat out attempt by the liberals to circumvent the Constitution! They can’t get what they want by conventional means so they are willing make up the rules to get this thing passed. This is flat out tyranny and needs to be exposed for what it is. Most Americans will have no idea how this happened and we will have been duped into National healthcare that we do not want and wouldn’t get passed if the entire Senate and House were to vote on it. It would seem to me that extra attention should be paid to Joe Lieberman, Bernie Sanders, and Blanche Lincoln when you are calling in your disgust. Reply to this
