Harry Reid got
his 60 votes to initiate cloture on the Senate version of the health
care bill. Mary Landrieu, whose price for selling out the country was
100 million dollars, and Blanche Lincoln, who faces a tough re-election
fight next year, were both very careful to qualify and state that they
would not vote for any bill in its present form. This sentiment was
echoed by a handful of other ‘moderates’.
Dingy Harry has some problems down the pike and there can be no
greater indication of that than after the vote total. There was only a
sparse smattering of applause, almost none. Every Senator in that room
knew that it is a very far from done deal. They won’t be back to start
debate on it until November 30.
Next year is an election year and many Democrats in both the House
and the Senate will be facing serious challenges with a seriously peed
off electorate, which much to their dismay is far better informed than
in many previous years. There are some RINO Republicans that may get
their tickets out of town punched also. That’s what they’ll be thinking
about, as much or more than sticking their necks out for Reid, Pelosi
and that Great Grandstanding Empty Suit in the White House.
Once again, YOUR efforts at derailing this beast before it reached a vote were magnificent. THANK YOU!!
This is only the beginning of the fight however. Don’t feel as though
we lost anything, because we have enough of these politicians looking
over their shoulders and watching the calendar to make a real
difference.
Lawmakers will be heading home to their districts for the Thanksgiving
holiday…it’s the PERFECT time to reach them in their own district and
it doesn’t matter if it’s your district or your Senator or not. It’s
your country, it’s OUR Senate, and as much as they like to ignore the
fact they are on our payroll. Take the time to look up these Senators’
home district offices and start hammering them there. Email, write
letters, tell your friends and family and tell them to tell others.
Become an activist. Get mad but then GET BUSY!!
We can beat this bill and we can defeat the DeMarxists…and we can do it using their own playbook.
Activism, real get-down-and-get-dirty grassroots activism, is how we
are going to defeat the Marxio-Socialists at their game. Become active
at the local level as you continue to make your voice heard at the
national level. Start with your local PTA, City, County and Civic
Organizations…continue to call, write and email. Stay angry!! You’ve
every right to be. These cretins are trying to steal our GOD given
birthright.
BECOME INFORMED and don’t be afraid to tell others. I live in one of
the most Liberal dominated areas of the nation. I used to take a lot of
heat for my Conservative views. I’m not real smart about such things
and I’ve spoken my mind in places where perhaps a saner man would fear
to tread.
But there’s a change going on out there. Ten thousand Conservative
Patriots in the heart of San Francisco to let the Anointed One know
that we think his policies and his governance stink. I don’t take as
much heat any more and I’m finding that far more people are agreeing
with me.
Not on everything perhaps, but then we are AMERICANS and we don’t have
to walk in lockstep like the DeMarxist Unionotons or Acorn Community
Destabilizers. It’s enough that we agree in principle that we need to
step in, step up and save our country.
Another thing…don’t fall for the crap out there about ‘dissension in
the ranks of the Tea Party leadership’. The sources of these rumors are
pretty easy to identify…it’s bullroar as we used to say in the Corps.
Many Republican Senators will be holding town hall meetings over the
holiday break, seeking to illuminate and inform constituents and the
American public about what exactly is in Harry’s 2074 page monstrosity.
Take advantage of the opportunity if you can and let them know we stand
behind them.
Remember, they can’t stand against us when we stand together.
Semper Vigilans, Semper Fidelis
