<strong><em>&#8220;Be careful&#8230; My administration is the only thing between you and the pitchforks.”</em></strong><br />

<p>As the Senate conspires today to jam Obamacare down our throats, I call again to all able bodied men and women that we need to up the grassroots ante now!</p>
<p>Tea Parties got us together and woke us up.<br />
Town Hall Protests got our voices heard. (and they didn&#8217;t listen)</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s use Obama&#8217;s own words and break out the pitchforks!</p>
<p>Now at all Town meetings and all protests we show up with pitchforks! ( Even in Chicago, NY, D.C., CA and Detroit, they are legal.)</p>
<p>The pitchfork visual will provide the necessary prodding (pun fully intended) that we are not messing around.</p>
<p>Home Depot, Ace Hardware, and other garden and hardware stores carry this handy agricultural item. Get yours today.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[<p>In response to Saturday night&#8217;s arrogant vote by our rogue government,<br />
I hear-by propose that we elevate the debate at Town Hall meetings across America.</p>
<p>Tea Parties got us together and woke us up.<br />
Town Hall Protests got our voices heard. (and they didn&#8217;t listen)</p>
<p>Now let&#8217;s show up with pitchforks. ( I believe that even in NY, D.C., CA and Detroit, agricultural pitchforks are still legal.)</p>
<p>Maybe the pitchfork visual will provide the necessary prodding (pun fully intended) that we are not messing around.</p>
<p>Upon hearing my proposal, some on our side still felt &#8216;pitchforks&#8217; were &#8220;too strong, and would send the red neck message&#8221;. I disagree, however if you want to start off with plastic lunch forks for a while it would be a start in the right direction.</p>
<p>One man with a pitchfork is a target. A townhall full of pitchforks is a guaranteed viral response to get noticed, front page news on even State run media.</p>
<p>Either we fight this or we don&#8217;t. It&#8217;s no longer a &#8220;tea party-pass the crumpets please.&#8221;</p>
<p>We need to step it up to the next notch. This time peacefully up the ante and go for the pitchfork. It will be visual, laden with symbolic historic meaning and one step toward a last step constitution option we&#8217;d rather not get to. The visual will get the media to go viral. Some senators might get the hint, enough to come short of the 60 votes..</p>
<p>What have we got to lose? Oh yeah&#8230;. our country and our consititution!</p>

		<description><![CDATA[<p>With no judgement on content, here is Nancy Pelosi&#8217;s 1,990 page Healthcare opus, side by side with other famous works:</p>
<p>
<b>The Bill of Rights:</b><br />
1 handwritten page. A total of 482 words.</p>
<p>
<b>The United States Constitution:</b><br />
4 handwritten pages.</p>
<p><b>Mao Tse Tung&#8217;s &#8220;Little Red Book&#8221;:</b> 312 Pages</p>
<p>
<b>The Koran:</b> 467 Pages.</p>
<p>
<b>The Holy Bible:</b> 608 Pages</p>
<p>
<b>Adolph Hitler&#8217;s Mein Kampf:</b> 720 Pages</p>
<p>
<b>The Russian Provisional Revolutionary Government, 1917: Documents. 3 volumes:</b> 1,841 pages.</p>
<p>
<b>Obama Healthcare Bill:</b> 1,990 Pages.<br />
Author: Nancy Pelosi,( with special thanks to Harry Reid, Obama and the Democrats of the 111th Congress)</p>
<p>
On a private  note, my own healthcare insurer (Emblem Health) sends me a booklet describing my healthcare plan every year. The complete benefits manual, detailing all my benefits, costs, deductibles, co-pays, prescriptions and legal fine print: 50 pages.<br />
Author: Emblem Health (evil private insurance company whose plan I use and love!)</p>
<p>So as inquiring minds ask questions, I&#8217;d like to understand, why does it take Congress 1,990 pages to do describe a healthcare plan, when my insurance company can describe my plan in 50 pages? Or put differently, If a healthcare plan can be detailed in 50 pages, what is lurking in the remaining 1,910 pages of this bill?</p>
<p>Until Congress can come up with a Healthcare proposal that can be described in 50 pages or less, I will hold on to and hone my First and Second Amendment rights in particular, and demand that our unruly servants <i>keep their laws off my body</i>.<br />
You may want to speak up and do the same.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[<p><strong>As  Obama and the Democrat Gone Wild Congress are determined at all costs and against all public opposition, to forcibly impose National Healthcare on every American, the nation’s Capitol has been writing legislation at a prolific pace.</p>
<p>A few days ago, Harry Reid’s Senate Healthcare wonder bill, came in at a weighty 1,500 pages.</p>
<p>Not to be outdone, Nancy Pelosi felt she could craft a better product.  So after some refinements she managed to squeak out several hundred more pages to finally inspire the hapless American masses into mandatory health coverage. And just in case any stubborn Americans need a little coaxing to go along with the plan, the bill is fully equipped to dole out legal punishment to any and all conscientious healthcare objectors.</p>
<p>The glorious speaker of the House did not disappoint. Coming in at a record 1,990 pages, Nancy Pelosi’s Nationlized Healthcare reform opus, is undoubtably her legislation masterpiece achievement.</p>
<p>But as we all know that we should never “judge a ‘book” by it’s cover.  However we can compare famous works by their length and their impact on countless individuals throughout history.<br />
So for the sake of putting literary achievements in context, I submit to you the following:</p>
<p><strong>The Bill of Rights:</strong><br />
1 Page. A total of 482 words. </p>
<p><strong>The United States Constitution:</strong><br />

		<description><![CDATA[<p>My fellow Americans,</p>
<p>I’d like to confess, that I’ve had a change of heart regarding President Obama.</p>
<p>I would like to thank Americans for electing Barack Hussein Obama, President of the United States and for now, even overlook his questionable constitutional eligibility.</p>
<p>I hope you will stand with me and support our President and his aggressive policies.</p>
<p>Mostly, I am grateful to President Obama for his radical fascist agenda and affinity for ignoring, usurping and actively working to destroy the United States of America and the Constitution upon which it was founded.</p>
<p>Had Barack Obama not come in to our lives and enlightened us all with his manifesto, we would still be too busy to pay much attention to the daily activities of our government.</p>
<p>Thanks to this President we have rediscovered America’s founding principles. We have rediscovered the Constitution. We have read it and even re-read it and given out pocket copies to our friends and neighbors.</p>
<p>It’s thanks to the talents of President Obama’s community organizing expertise, that we have discovered that we too can speak up and speak out. Protesting is now no longer the sole dominion of the radical left. We are no longer the silent disenfranchised majority.</p>
<p>Normal, usually too busy and generally silent, everyday Americans are now finding the time to go to Town Halls and speak their minds and discipline their public servants.</p>
<p>President Obama’s contribution to our new-found empowerment is still being written and will be immortalized someday for all, by historians.</p>
<p>But already in a mere 7 months in office, he has successfully brought us together through his desire for socialized healthcare. Town Halls are now more popular than ever. People are sharing their passion against Cap and Trade, deficit spending and high taxes!</p>
<p>And even in the height of the lazy, hazy days of August when nothing is news worthy nor gets done, the visionary Obama seized the moment to surprise us yet again, with the exciting celebration of China’s 60th anniversary of the Communist revolution. He will fly China’s commie flag over our White House on Sept 20th!</p>
<p>But just when you thought he couldn’t possibly outdo himself any further, he treats us to another incredible blessing:<br />
A special National Address to share his wisdom to our children as they head back to school. Not to worry, educators will be more than eager to explain any subtleties that may have escaped the kids.</p>
<p>How exciting and selfless it is indeed for this President to open the door for us to be able talk to our local school administrators!<br />
Thanks to our newly honed Town Hall community activism skills, our school principals will surely be greeted with all the spirited engagement we have already bestowed on our elected servants.</p>
<p>So, thank you Mr. President for making us stronger and teaching us to stand up for our selves.</p>
<p>You are indeed “the one we’ve been waiting for.”</p>
<p>Hope and Change is finally coming!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My fellow Americans,</p>
<p>I’d like to confess, that I’ve had a change of heart regarding President Obama.</p>
<p>I would like to thank Americans for electing Barack Hussein Obama, President of the United States and for now, even overlook his questionable constitutional eligibility.</p>
<p>I hope you will stand with me and support our President and his aggressive policies.</p>
<p>Mostly, I am grateful to President Obama for his radical fascist agenda and affinity for ignoring, usurping and actively working to destroy the United States of America and the Constitution upon which it was founded.</p>
<p>Had Barack Obama not come in to our lives and enlightened us all with his manifesto, we would still be too busy to pay much attention to the daily activities of our government.</p>
<p>Thanks to this President we have rediscovered America’s founding principles. We have rediscovered the Constitution. We have read it and even re-read it and given out pocket copies to our friends and neighbors.</p>
<p>It’s thanks to the talents of President Obama’s community organizing expertise, that we have discovered that we too can speak up and speak out. Protesting is now no longer the sole dominion of the radical left. We are no longer the silent disenfranchised majority.</p>
<p>Normal, usually too busy and generally silent, everyday Americans are now finding the time to go to Town Halls and speak their minds and discipline their public servants.</p>
<p>President Obama’s contribution to our new-found empowerment is still being written and will be immortalized someday for all, by historians.</p>
<p>But already in a mere 7 months in office, he has successfully brought us together through his desire for socialized healthcare. Town Halls are now more popular than ever. People are sharing their passion against Cap and Trade, deficit spending and high taxes!</p>
<p>And even in the height of the lazy, hazy days of August when nothing is news worthy nor gets done, the visionary Obama seized the moment to surprise us yet again, with the exciting celebration of China’s 60th anniversary of the Communist revolution. He will fly China’s commie flag over our White House on Sept 20th!</p>
<p>But just when you thought he couldn’t possibly outdo himself any further, he treats us to another incredible blessing:<br />
A special National Address to share his wisdom to our children as they head back to school. Not to worry, educators will be more than eager to explain any subtleties that may have escaped the kids.</p>
<p>How exciting and selfless it is indeed for this President to open the door for us to be able talk to our local school administrators!<br />
Thanks to our newly honed Town Hall community activism skills, our school principals will surely be greeted with all the spirited engagement we have already bestowed on our elected servants.</p>
<p>So, thank you Mr. President for making us stronger and teaching us to stand up for our selves.</p>
<p>You are indeed “the one we’ve been waiting for.”</p>
<p>Hope and Change is finally coming!</p>
<p>Jacques Ditte</p>

&#8220;What if Obama thought he was God and not one of us?&#8221; to paraphrase a popular song.<br />
I&#8217;m wondering how long it will be before people start talking about invoking the 25th Amendment?<br />
Is this man so delusional that he is becoming unfit to perform his duties as President?</p>

<p>America don’t be fooled. We must not let up the fight.</p>
<p>It’s time for Ted Kennedy’s life dream of socialized medicine to rest in peace once a for all.<br />
It is only fitting and respectful to give Kennedycare a proper funeral by driving it off the bridge at Chappaquiddick?.</p>
<p>And if the Dems live up to our expectations, they will help motivate us by shamelessly exploiting the tragic cancer death of Mr Kennedy for political gain just as they did at the Paul Wellstone memorial.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[<p>Watch this incredible video from CPSAN. Congressman Michelle Bachmnann explains how Obamacare will work. (warning may not be suitable  viewing for anyone over 50)<br />
<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/r4NYY5ytLos&#38;hl=en&#38;fs=1&#38;"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/r4NYY5ytLos&#38;hl=en&#38;fs=1&#38;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object></p>
<p>My letter to the editor printed this passed weak with bitting sarcasm appears should now be read to be the playbook for what is to come:<br />
When it comes to Government run healthcare we can all agree health care is expensive. And if the government runs the show, it will have to find ways of controlling the monumental costs involved.</p>
<p>Ever mindful of never spending two or three trillion dollars more than necessary, President Obama quickly recognized that there exists great untapped opportunities for the government to streamline wasteful spending on needless medical tests and procedures. In one example President Obama responding to a question about providing healthcare to the elderly, said “end of life care” is one area where we might be able to really save. Perhaps “it might be better to just give her the “pain medication than the costly procedure”.</p>
<p>The chosen one’s logic is undeniable. Currently seniors are the biggest burden to private healthcare providers as they are constantly going to the doctor for one problem or the other. If government were to foot the bill under Nationalize Healthcare then we would all have to bare the heavy burden for the mounting medical expenditures of these old unproductive retirees, (who by the way are sucking the social security system dry as they keep on living despite their usefulness having long ago expired.) Yes conceivably Gramps could help out in a pinch, babysitting the kids while you’re out organizing the current week’s Acorn meeting, but that doesn’t justify the cost of keeping the old clunker going! And I won’t even get into the issue of liability or that he is undermining the local BUWA, Babysitter Union Workers of America with his free services.</p>
<p>It would be indeed much more cost effective to provide healthcare to all Americans based on their usefulness to the greater good. The young, the healthy, the employed and productive middle aged citizens paying in to the system should be entitled the best health care government will allow, within reason, of course.</p>
<p>Workers in green jobs, or those help the downtrodden through community activism could get extra health credits for good social responsible behavior.</p>
<p>The wealthy should pay a surcharge so they can pay their fair share, while badge wearing official government “End of Life Counselors” as proposed by our great leader Obama, should help Gramps understand that he had a pretty good run, but it’s time to come to grips with the fact that he needs to let go, as he is going to eventually to die whether he gets the costly pacemaker or not. Another year or two of life at his age is not going really help him in the end, but performing a costly procedure on someone with such a limited lifespan is plainly a poor use of taxpayer money and yields a poor return on life-investment expenditures. Needless costly procedures for the elderly really put a heavy financial burden on the rest of us. So for the greater good, Gramps, take two morphine, and we’ll call the morgue in the morning.</p>
<p>Also there is great promise for rest of us with diminishing returns. Soon we may be able to &#8220;opt-in&#8221; (voluntarily of course) to an &#8220;early end of life incentive program&#8221; where the Government gets to give you a tax credit for choosing an early exit, sparing all us the expense of you becoming a future burden.</p>
<p>That’s the hope and change we’re all talking about, right?</p>

		<description><![CDATA[..be a Big brother or Big sister to Big government.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><span style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande';font-size: large">When it comes to the relationship between our ever expanding government and the people it is supposed to represent, the dynamics can  be simply summed up as:  The more ‘things’  stay the same (the people), the more things change (the government).</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande';font-size: large">We live in a representative democracy. Which simply means, we the people, vote and empower a selected bunch of mere mortals, to various elected offices who act on our behalf, hopefully in our best interests, so that we can go on living our daily lives until the next election.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande';font-size: large">Every four years, it’s even more special. We the people really get excited about the prospect of voting in the all important presidential election, So much so, that from coast to coast, a staggering one half of all eligible voters are determined enough to actually get off their couches to  show up at their local Vote Aqui polling center and cast their ballot. They are joined also by an ever growing contingent of sprouting ACORN voters: felons, illegal aliens and the dead, who similarly rise to the patriotic occasion and dutifully vote as often as time allows during the ‘early voting’ month leading up to election day.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande';font-size: large">Election night is really exciting, as across the country we watch the TV pundits pontificate, predict, and declare who won, who lost, and what we can therefore expect in the coming year. Just as during Super-bowl night, or the final game in the World Series, spectator emotions run high. Tears, jeers and cheers are heard. But soon the festivities are over and it’s time to finally turn off the TV and get bed, as tomorrow each one of us have a lot to do.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande';font-size: large">And so the cycle continues. Our quotidian demands and responsibilities fill up our days and we pay scant attention to our ‘governments’ until the next election. Meanwhile  the representatives we elected to act in our stead, shed their pupal campaign suits and molt into full grown legislative termites. With nary a sound, day in and day out, our freedoms are eaten away with robotic regularity, as ‘our’ government  imposes mountains of new laws, mandates new spending, and appropriates our hard earned money at will through it’s power of taxation.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande';font-size: large">So why is government so intrusive? Why are our taxes so high? Why can’t government just leave us alone? Because government is just doing what is was born to do.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande';font-size: large">Blaming government for it’s actions, is like blaming termites for eating wood.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande';font-size: large">By design, governments want to govern. And governments unchecked, will spread into every aspect of our lives.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande';font-size: large">The reality is we have nobody else but ourselves to blame. Each and every one of us is responsible for a government run amok. We can’t expect that showing up at the poles once a year to vote will keep government in check. Just like everything else in life it requires our regular attention. Our bills need to be paid monthly, our pantries need to be filled weekly and our families need our love and attention daily.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande';font-size: large">My Hope for Change this new year is that you will join me in being a Big brother or Big sister to a Big government official.  Through your active supervision, you can  foster a government official and make a difference. Through perseverance and reeducation you can restore the natural pecking order and chain of command. A government of the people, for the people, by the people means, they are the “public servants”, not us.</span></div>
<div><span><br />

		<description><![CDATA[<p>Lee Zeldin (R) an Army Iraq war vet is running an aggressive and effective grassroots campaign against three term incumbent Tim Bishop (D)  in Long Island NY&#8217;s 1st Congressional District. The district has approximately 50,000 more registered Republicans than Democrats.  Despite Bishop&#8217;s intimidating million dollar campaign war chest, Zeldin with limited funds has been undeterred and has relentlessly campaigned over the last year, managing to air no holds barred TV and radio commercials that have been getting noticed. I recommend you take a look at this upcoming star in the Republican party that could reclaim a seat on election day.  He has several  TV commercials you can see on youtube but here is his latest radio spot currently airing on several stations.<br />
