Tea Parties Make a 'House Call' at the Hill
House Republicans and tea party protesters spent the summer and much of the fall in an awkward mating dance, with neither group too sure it wanted to embrace the other.
But they consummated the relationship over the weekend in New York’s 23rd Congressional District, and they’ll come together Thursday in Washington for a coordinated assault on the Democrats’ plans for health care reform.
The idea took flight last week, when Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) told Fox’s Sean Hannity that she hoped all of his viewers would join her for a press conference outside the Capitol on Thursday and then walk with her “through Cannon, Longworth, Rayburn,” where they would go “up and down through the halls, find members of Congress, look at the whites of their eyes and say, ‘Don’t take away my health care.’”

The healthcare reform plan being pushed by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and President Barack Obama and passed by the House on Saturday illustrates the Democrats' radical agenda, says former New York Lt. Gov. Betsy McCaughey.
In an op-ed article appearing Saturday on The Wall Street Journal's Web site, McCaughey reveals shocking details of the 1,990-page bill.
Some of the more alarming aspects of the bill, according to McCaughey:
“Sec. 224 (p. 118) provides that 18 months after the bill becomes law, the Secretary of Health and Human Services will decide what a "qualified plan" covers and how much you'll be legally required to pay for it. That's like a banker telling you to sign the loan agreement now, then filling in the interest rate and repayment terms 18 months later.”

3,500 - 4,000 people! Imagine how many would have shown up had President Obama asked for healthcare SUPPORTERS to show up on Capitol Hill? Then you would have seen the ACTUAL millions of people (not the ones counted by the University of Oh, I don't know.....)!==================================
So, they have to have a special invitation? Why? They could have marched on DC but didn't. That tells me a lot. Are they so smug they thought they didn't have to or too lazy? The tea partiers cared enough to personally object-wanting a face to face accounting-to what this administration wants to saddle them with that they don't want. Why should they be forced into this except that their money is wanted. That means this is not fully funded. It will take tax payer dollars. That is common sense.

The true enemy of the Congregational Democrat Party is: We the People. They are going for total control of the Unites States Citizens through Health care. What is so good for us according to them, is not so good for them.
*
For example: The health care benefit both Houses have cost them $500.00 per-year and includes specialist as needed. Right there in the house, (On Site.) If they need a specialist and one is not in-house, a specialist is flown in at no extra cost to the representative. In both houses. And this is a life time benefit, along with their salaries. Their explanation as stated: It’s a benefit for the Mission? What mission?
Folks it’s about Government control and Government power over us. I just don’t understand how these apologist on this site or any other site can be so wrong about a We the People, a Government by the people, (US) for the people, (US.)

America we must get it right! We must come together, we must get our words right. Let’s unite together. Just the constitutional facts. Lighten up on the mud slinging! Empower yourselves. Never ever forget. Many times America has a short attention span. And they are counting on us to forget come election time. How many of us have a copy of the Constitution, and read it? America and the World are watching.

From the coverage of this party, it was older white people with racist, cruel signs and the Republic leaders not condemning any of it. This will not be acceptable by the majority of Americans. And a party of mainly older white people cannot win the presidency.

The alternative to AARP
*
While everyone is worked up letting congress know what we think, take 10 minutes and call AARP. Tell them you will not be joining them because they have become shills for the liberal Democratic agenda. If you are a member, tear up your card and mail it to them in a letter letting them know not one more cent will go out of your pocket and into their budget to spend on liberal causes.
Consider changing your insurance if you have it from AARP. There are plenty of other groups that can get you a good deal. These guys stopped doing what's best for "retired" persons ages ago. They don't even represent "retired persons". Membership starts at 50. How many 50 year olds in today's world do you know that are retired? It's just another clearing house, like the unions, for libs to get donations.
Any real good they did, just like the unions, went by the wayside long ago. Directors decide where the money goes, not the membership. But unlike tolerating the unions and keeping a good paying job, people don't have to keep their AARP membership to survive. Time to start a conservative version.
