Obama Bumps Primetime Again

Tuesday, December 1, 2009
Obama has decided to read from his teleprompter during Primetime again.  Tonight he will be bumping "A Charlie Brown Christmas."  Instead of the time honored Christmas Classic, Americans and the world will be learning of our plans for the war in Afghanistan.  Why is Obama, the King of Secrets, broadcasting war strategy?  Is he so enamored with himself that he must always be on our televisions regardless of the cost to our troops?

Whatever he says, do not be distracted from the healthcare bill on the Senate floor.  Call your Senators, let them know that their job is not safe if they do not represent the people.  Make them realize that outside the Democrat controlled bubble of Washington D.C. there are real people out there who need to be heard.  This President has never listened to anyone but himself and these Senators need to be aware that their jobs can and will be sacrificed for his agenda.

So, the Senate is Going to Debate Universal Healthcare

Monday, November 23, 2009
The Senate has gotten their magical 60 votes and voted to go ahead and debate the giant socialist healthcare bill that they have created behind locked doors.  The bill has a public 'option' in it as well as federal funding for abortion.  The good news is that the Senate will also need sixty votes to close the debate and that may not come so easily.  Many Senators have indicated that they will not vote yes on the bill itself even though they voted to open debate, including Senators Landrieu and Lincoln.  If this bill passes it will become the giant sinkhole that other government programs have become and will be nearly impossible to reverse.  The next President won't be able to fix this giant Obama mistake.

Every Democratic incumbent voted yea to open the Health Care Bill for debate.  Return the favor by voting Nay for them in 2010.  Tell them of your plans by phone or email.  They need the wake up call.

Taking Our Country Back - VA Back to Red, NJ Red as Well

Tuesday, November 3, 2009
Virginia is Republican once again.  They elected a Republican governor by a landslide tonight, Congrats Governor Bob McDonnell.  Virginia tried going blue and they are back!  It didn't work out so well for them.  Guess this wasn't the kind of change they were looking for...now the GOP needs some Senate seats.


New Jersey has now been called for Chris Christie by the AP.  Congrats to Governor Christie.  Obama and Biden both pushed hard for Christie's opponent, incumbent Jon Corzine.  New Jersey pushed back.  People want something different.  I'm happy to see that people have stopped blindly following Obama.
