Newsbusters: "[T]here are now questions about how many jobs Mr. Obama is promising to create," Ed Henry told viewers of the broadcast. Henry used three separate video clips of Obama talking about jobs to illustrate the way the President "seemed to move the goal post" for job creation.

This stimulus package and the jobs are a farce. America we can’t afford to do this. We need your help to defeat this fiasco now.

They said the “sky was falling” on the first bailout…it didn’t work and neither will this one in spite of the “catastrophic” predictions.

What difference does it make at this point in time…do nothing and see if the sky falls in or spend trillions of more money we don’t have and see if the sky falls!

It is a gamble anyway you look at it because the politicians don’t know what they are doing and especially this inexperienced President.

Better they should give us all a “tax holiday” for a few months where we bring home our gross salaries and spend it like we want to stimulate the economy…I trust the American people more than the politicians.

===================================
America…I contacted each and every Senator about the stimulus package and said…

NO MORE BAILOUTS—NO MORE STIMULUS—TIGHTEN YOUR BELTS WASHINGTON AND PAY OFF OUR BILLS WITHOUT ANY MORE SPENDING!

Most Senators can be reached via their web form at:

1. USA.gov
2. At top click on “site index”
3. On left click on “federal government”
4. In main section click on “legislative branch”
5. Listed are every Senator and right under their name it says “web form”
6. Click on their specific web form to do your message and then just keep arrowing back to get back to the Senatorial list to do the next one.

Listed below are those who have different options – you will need to contact them separately.

SENATORS “WITHOUT WEB FORMS” – you need to send separate emails

Senator_Mark_Udall@markudall.senate.gov

senator@shelby.senate.gov

senator_lugar@lugar.senate.gov

senator_leahy@leahy.senate.gov

Senator_Hagan@hagan.senate.gov

senator@dorgan.senate.gov

senator_bingaman@bingaman.senate.gov

senator_bennet@bennet.senate.gov

senator@begich.senate.gov

SENATORS “WITHOUT WEB FORMS & EMAIL” – need to call them

Burris 202/224-2854

Gillibrand 202/224-4451

Risch 202/224-2752

Shaheen 202/224-2841

AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST – THIS SENATOR WAS THE “ONLY” ONE THAT WOULD NOT TAKE AN EMAIL FROM SOMEONE NOT “HIS” CONSTITUENT!

Guess Ed Henry didn’t get “the memo” — new talking points: Obama’s stimulus is going to SAVE and create jobs! So he could CREATE one and maybe SAVE the next 500 million Nancy warns are being lost each month.

The stimulus is also going to PAYOFF unions, ACORN and non-paying taxpayers for votes cast and delivered!

Doing a great job Obama — looks like you’ll have a ONE TERM.

Come on people give the man a break. He has no idea what he is doing. If we all start pressuring him to live up to what he promised in the campaign he will have a tantrum. Just smile and nod and tell him everything is fine. Our portfolios can stay in the crapper as long he thinks he is perfect.

2/5/09

Germany’s biggest lender, Deutsche Bank, on Thursday posted its first annual loss since World War II after a terrible fourth quarter but said it would survive the global meltdown without state aid.

In addition, Drudge, is also reporting today that Russia will not bail out their own banks!

AMERICA WE ARE THE ONLY SANE ONES IN THE COUNTRY…THE PEOPLE IN WASHINGTON HAVE LOST THEIR MINDS.

THE REPUBLICANS FINALLY ACTING LIKE LEADERS!
========================

Just saw Senator Lindsay Graham being interviewed and he came down strong on the Democrats and the President for lack of leadership.

That the Democrats are crafting this bill on their own and not listening to the rest of the Congress.

America…the Republicans are getting it. There are also alot of Democrats that are getting it…we don’t want any more monies going out.

We need to stand together and call/email your Senators and get them to know what “you” want…do it now!

THEY ARE LISTENING…THE CALLS AND EMAILS ARE WORKING TO GET WASHINGTON TO LISTEN TO WHAT WE IN THE HEARTLAND WANT…NO MORE MONIES SPENT!

Just a little overview on how the government spent our first $750 billion taxpayer dollars.
===================================

REPORTED ON BREITBART TODAY…2/5/09

WASHINGTON (AP) – A government watchdog group says the federal government overpaid for stocks and other assets from financial institutions under its $700 billion rescue program.

The chairwoman of the Congressional Oversight Panel for the bailout funds told the Senate Banking committee Thursday that Treasury in 2008 paid $254 billion and received assets worth about $176 billion.

NOW DO YOU WANT THEM TO SPEND MORE OF OUR MONIES?…PLEASE CALL/EMAIL YOUR SENATORS AND THEM THEM ‘NO’!

IT IS GARBAGE…GOVERNMENT INTERVENTION…GARBAGE!

THE SOCIALIST DEMOCRATS ARE TRYING TO RAM THIS DOWN THE THROATS OF AMERICANS AND I FOR ONE AM NOT GOING TO STAND BY IDLY AND LET IT HAPPEN.

CALL/EMAIL YOUR SENATORS NOW…RIGHT NOW…AND LOAD UP THEIR OFFICES WITH “YOUR” VOTE…THEY ARE FEAR MONGERING AND THREATENING AMERICAN CITIZENS TO LIE DOWN AND LET THE FREEDOM OF YOUR VOICE DIE…DON’T LET IT HAPPEN…DO IT NOW!

Justin Bailey   February 5th, 2009 - 7:16 pm

I have to be honest, I thought Obama’s presidency was over about the time he was inaugerated. I could never see myself voting for this ‘choice of a new generation’ canidate whose syrupy sweet demeanor canabalizes MLK and Kennedy and tries to make it run like a new electric sports car that runs on hype. The Pepsi canidate lost his vibe and his lack of experience showed in the first week. It never felt like history, just a big event where ‘everything is alright’ even though it’s not, it’s not alright at all. He’ll get this things passed, destroy the United States businesses, and release all our suspected (or even convicted terrorists) and keep right on with his ‘Change’. His prescidency is practically over because he can’t accomplish anywhere near where he promised, he offered everything to get his 53%. Normal canidates are more realistic and it’s only going to get worse.

When’s the next presidential election? It can’t come soon enough.

Eileen for Freedom/Liberty   February 5th, 2009 - 10:13 pm

Apparently, Ole Harry Reid doesn’t know what it means to “burn the midnight oil”!

He misled us…said they’d work through the night…not!

He went home! Hope he reads his emails and gets the number of calls that came into his office today!

KEEP IT UP AMERICA…KEEP CALLING…KEEP EMAILING…IT ISN’T OVER YET! LET’S SHOW THEM WHOSE BOSS AND WHAT WE WANT…NO STIMULUS NOW OR IN THE FUTURE!

WE NEED YOU…REPUBLICANS…DEMOCRATS…INDEPENDENTS…LIBERTARIANS…IF YOU CALLED…EMAIL…IF YOU EMAILED…CALL…ONLY WE CAN DO THIS…THE DEMOCRATS IN WASHINGTON DON’T KNOW HOW AND HAVE PROVED ON THE LAST BAILOUT THAT THEY DON’T KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING!

Eileen for Freedom/Liberty   February 6th, 2009 - 8:09 pm

CSPAN-2 ON NOW (8:00 pm est 2/6) watch the politicians speak…on the stimulus…watch it and be informed!
================================

America they need 60 votes to pass this monster of a bill.

Two Republicans are voting with the Democrats. They are Arlen Spector of PA and Collins of ME…call…email them and tell them they must stand united with the rest of their party.

This bill must not pass…it will not help our economy…it will destroy it!

In addition, to calling/emailing Collins and Spector…and if you haven’t done so already…call/email your Senators to say “no”!

They will not vote tonight, but it may be Sunday. You still have the weekend to get your voices heard.

The bailout did not help like they said…and this one won’t either.

These politicians are crazy…there is no way…no way…they can police this kind of money.

They lost millions of our taxpayer dollars in the bailout…don’t even know where it went…and we are to trust them again?

Let them give us a “tax holiday” where we pay no taxes out of our salaries…let US decide where it goes…we can keep track of that amount in our own pay.

Call/email…America…we need everyone to do it…I heard that the phones in Washington were inundated with calls…if the lines are busy keep calling til you get through.

AMERICA WE ARE THE NECK THAT TURNS THE HEAD…IT IS TIME WE TURNED THE HEAD TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE NOT TOWARDS A GOVERNMENT HANDOUT!

CBO: Obama stimulus harmful over long haul
Wednesday, February 4, 2009
http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2009/feb/04/cbo-obama-stimulus-harmful-over-long-haul/

President Obama’s economic recovery package will actually hurt the economy more in the long run than if he were to do nothing, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office said Wednesday.

CBO, the official scorekeepers for legislation, said the House and Senate bills will help in the short term but result in so much government debt that within a few years they would crowd out private investment, actually leading to a lower Gross Domestic Product over the next 10 years than if the government had done nothing.

CBO estimates that by 2019 the Senate legislation would reduce GDP by 0.1 percent to 0.3 percent on net. [The House bill] would have similar long-run effects, CBO said in a letter to Sen. Judd Gregg, New Hampshire Republican, who was tapped by Mr. Obama on Tuesday to be Commerce Secretary.

DeMint Fights Against Religious Discrimination in Stimulus Bill

If you watched any of the Congressional discussions on CSPAN last night you heard the following:
==========================================
A GOOD AMENDMENT THAT DID “NOT” PASS…

Last night around midnight 2/6…an amendment was introduced that would have taken the “entire” stimulus package of over $800 billion and given it to American taxpayers who file taxes. It amounted to about $10,000 per couple and about $5,000 per individual .

Ten Thousand dollars could be used to buy a needed car, a down payment on a small house, pay off on a credit card… thereby getting directly into the system to stimulate our economy.

However, the amendment was defeated for good reason….because it was money that would have to be “borrowed”.

That wasn’t why it was defeated…it was really defeated because the Democrats would rather use the money for golf courses and water parks, etc.

ANOTHER AMENDMENT THAT DID PASS…

Another Amendment that was introduced was to “NOT” pay any monies (that amounts to millions of dollars) whatsoever to ACORN.

ACORN you remember was being investigated for illegal voting procedures that eventually put the new President over the top in the election.

The Democratic members resoundingly defeated that proposal.
===========================================

America…you need to watch this debates to know exactly what this bill is all about and how it will impact you.

Today, Saturday 2/7, they will begin on CSPAN 2 again at 11:00 a.m. est.

They will debate until about 3:00 pm est.

They don’t know whether or not they will meet again on Sunday, but on Monday they will begin again around 11:00 am est. to debate and then, perhaps, do the “VOTE” on Monday night.

Once they have a vote on a bill….they will conference with the House to debate.
=============================================

AMERICA……YOU MUST GET INVOLVED….THIS IS YOUR MONEY….THIS WILL BE YOUR CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN’S DEBT.

THE PHONES AND EMAILS ARE GOING OFF THE HOOK IN WASHINGTON BECAUSE “YOU” ARE CALLING/EMAILING…BUT WE NEED THE REST OF YOU TO DO YOUR PART FOR YOUR FAMILY…CONTINUE TO CALL AND EMAIL AND TELL THEM NO>>>NO>>>NO STIMULUS PACKAGE WHATSOEVER.

IF THE SKY IS FALLING EITHER WAY, WHAT DOES IT MATTER?

WE BORROW TRILLIONS AND PUT OUR CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN IN DEBT AND TAKE A SHOT THAT IT WILL WORK – EVEN THOUGH THE BAILOUT DIDN’T

OR

WE CAN HANG TIGHT, TIGHTEN OUR BELTS AND WORK JUST ON HELPING THE HOUSING CRISIS THAT GOT US INTO THIS MESS IN THE FIRST PLACE AND TRUST THAT OUR SYSTEM WILL WEATHER THE STORM BUT WITHOUT ANY FURTHER DEBT!

==============================

AMERICA…WE ARE THE NECK THAT TURNS THE HEAD…IT IS HIGH TIME WE TURNED IT TOWARD THE AMERICAN TAXPAYER AND NOT A GOVERNMENT HANDOUT!

Eileen for Freedom/Liberty   February 7th, 2009 - 9:32 am

1. If you are a Republican

2. If you agree that this stimulus package, is garbage and needs to go the way of the dinosaur

3. If you think the Congress should concentrate on a stimulus bill that concentrates solely on the “housing” crisis that got us into this mess

4. If you are disgusted that (3) Republican Senators are voting with the Democrats to get this bill passed

Then call/email:

Collins of Maine
Snowe of Maine
Spector of Pennsylvania

And tell them to stop playing politics with our children and grandchildren’s future.

Tell them how you feel about possibly being the (3) votes that may give the Democrats the 60 votes they need to pass this garbage!

America…I for one…have had enough. I agree with bi-partisanshhip, but not in this case.

This bill is too big and too burdensome for the American taxpayer to take on.

I have already emailed them, and I also emailed the leader of the Republican National Committee (RNC.com) to express my displeasure…please do the same.

The Republicans have continually expressed in these debates that they feel the only stimulus we should have is for the “housing” industry…I agree.

The “housing” industry started this mess and that is what needs to be fixed….not water parks, ACORN and golf courses.

America…we need to get real in Washington…there is no change…there is only status quo.

THE PHONES AND EMAILS ARE GOING OFF THE HOOK IN WASHINGTON BECAUSE ‘YOU’ ARE CALLING/EMAILIN

BUT WE NEED THE REST OF YOU TO DO YOUR PART FOR YOUR FAMILY…CONTINUE TO CALL AND EMAIL AND TELL THEM NO>>>NO>>>NO STIMULUS PACKAGE WHATSOEVER.

IF THE SKY IS FALLING EITHER WAY, WHAT DOES IT MATTER?

WE BORROW TRILLIONS AND PUT OUR CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN IN DEBT AND TAKE A SHOT THAT IT WILL WORK – EVEN THOUGH THE BAILOUT DIDN’T

OR

WE CAN HANG TIGHT, TIGHTEN OUR BELTS AND WORK JUST ON HELPING THE HOUSING CRISIS THAT GOT US INTO THIS MESS IN THE FIRST PLACE AND TRUST THAT OUR SYSTEM WILL WEATHER THE STORM BUT WITHOUT ANY FURTHER DEBT!

==============================

AMERICA…WE ARE THE NECK THAT TURNS THE HEAD…IT IS HIGH TIME WE TURNED IT TOWARD THE AMERICAN TAXPAYER AND NOT A GOVERNMENT HANDOUT!
