America…Caterpillar is an old, old company which has deep roots in our American economy.

I would think that when this bill DOES NOT PASS…they will be hiring back former employees.

Stand firm…don’t believe the hype…you’ll be hearing more of this desperation throughout the day and beyond.

Keep calling and emailing your House Representatives who are on the fence.

Several have been targeted by negative ads this morning…the Democrats have spent over $200,000 to do so…call/email them and tell them how “you” feel.

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!

The radio spot targets :

Senators

Voinovich of Ohio,
Ensign of Nevada
Murkowski of Alaska

Reps.

Shelley Moore Capito (WV).
Blaine Luetkemeyer (MO)
Jo Ann Emerson (MO),
Jim Gerlach (PA)
Charlie Dent (PA)
Fred Upton (MI)
Todd Platts (PA),
Mike Castle (DE)
Candice Miller (MI),
Michael Turner (OH)
Steve LaTourette (OH)
Patrick Tiberi (OH)
Eric Cantor (VA)
Dave Reichert (WA)
Bill Cassidy (LA)
John Fleming (LA)
Brett Guthrie KY)
Jim Cooper (TN).

Here is what I sent to them late last night:

It is my understanding that you are going to be the target of negative radio ads by the Democrats. I just want to encourage you to stay the course with us in voting “NO” on this bloated “pork” bill. We are proud of our Republicans in Washington as they are standing united against the biggest mistake in the history of our country.

On the other hand, we are disgusted by the (3) renegade Republicans that have joined the Democrats against their party and we, the American people.

This bill is not in the best interests of our country and our citizens. It will penalize and burden our children and grandchildren with a debt they can never, ever hope to repay.

We have heard about some of this “pork” in this bill and we are disgusted by doorbells, ACORN and management of our medical records. This is a special interest bill put together by the socialist Democrats and we are totally against it.

Stand firm…stand with us…we will defeat this together. Then and only then we can work on something that will work…like just concentrating on what got us into this mess in the first place…the housing crisis. One thing at a time…thank you for standing with us!

America…our economy will do just fine without burdening our children and grandchildren with trillions of dollars in debt…We will and can make it.

We should, however, concentrate on ‘only’ doing something about our housing crisis that got us into this mess in the first place.

You must…you must…call/email your House Representatives…we know how the Senators are going to vote…we need to tell the House Representatives who are on the edge how we feel. Tell them no to this bill……

NO DEAL——NO BILL——NO DEAL——NO BILL!

America…this President is going to put our country in the toilet before you know it if you don’t speak up and speak out!

This must stop today. America we are getting it…if we sit by and do nothing…we are letting the Marxists lead us onto the road to Socialism.

If we get it, why don’t our representatives? America…call/email today…today…now…be firm and tell them…

WE WANT NO BILL! DEFEAT IT NOW! DEFEAT IT THIS WEEK! DO IT OR GO HOME!

Go to http://www.house.gov…we need to concentrate on the House Representatives who are uncertain…we need to tell them how we feel.

PLEASE AMERICA——OUR DEMOCRACY IS AT STAKE.

ALREADY ON FRIDAY(2/6) THE NATION OF ISLAM’S MESSIAH IS TAKING THE CENSUS DEPARTMENT FROM UNDER THE CONTROL OF THE COMMERCE SECRETARY AND GIVING CONTROL TO RAHM EMANUEL.

THAT AMERICA WILL PUT THIS BUREAU IN THE POLITICAL ARENA THAT CONTROLS OUR ELECTORAL COLLEGE AND OUR VOTING. AMERICA WE NEED TO STOP THIS NOW!

Just heard about the great bi-partisanship on behalf of the socialist Democrats…today…in the House and Senate conference…no Republicans have been invited…not one…America…not one!

Call/email your representatives now…and tell them how you feel!

Pelosi and Reid will let no Republicans in on this conference…they are manipulating the bill again to their benefit!

AMERICA THIS MUST STOP…THE SOCIALIST DEMOCRATS ARE TAKING US ON THE MARCH TO SOCIALISM AND BECAUSE SO MANY OF YOU UNINFORMED, ILL INFORMED VOTERS PUT THESE DEMOCRATIC SLUGS INTO POWER IN THE CONGRESS WE ARE HAVING TO FIGHT…FIGHT…FIGHT!

AMERICA…CALL/EMAIL NOW…DON’T GIVE UP!

They are shutting out the Republicans…they are shutting down the American people…surely there are some good American Democrats left that will go against the takeover of their party by the socialists.

DO IT NOW!

Who cares what you say president goofy!
Every thing that comes out of your orifice is a lie anyway!

get off the campaign trail and go to work!

someone give this guy something for his case of diarrhea-of-the mouth that we are suffering from.

This headline is equivalent to one that says “Biden Says Peace Is At Hand If Obama ______________ (fill in the blank) Bill Is Passed!”

The Catepillar guy (don’t recall his name) has been a big Obama supporter and is now one of the 15 CEOs on Obama’s “special” Economic Advisory Team.”

I shall be watching to see just how many people are hired, and when. Most of Catepillar’s business comes from overseas. Except for some Phillipino war veterans, I’m not aware of any transfer payments in the porkulous bill for foreign countries.

I make my living with trends…this one i am sure of…the country is fearful of an Obama Dictatorship or socialism…i believe the left is misjudging the pent up anger of 45 years of white culture being forced to kiss lesser culture’s behinds.Meanwhile white culture has built America,fought and won two world wars, put a man on the moon, invented everything there is. I think the revolution is soon to come from the right and not the left.

Another outrageous piece of “pork” in the stimulus package…$300 million for “green” golf carts!

America…I would like to help my grandson go to college…I can’t.

Do you suppose they could put that in the bill? How about your kids and grandkids…do they need to go to college? Are they having a hard time doing so? Do you think the stimulus will pay for it?

No…but they can take “our” taxpayer money for “green” golf carts.

The Nation of Islam’s Messiah is a fraud…he is taking our country down the tubes and the socialist Democrats (3 turncoat Republicans) are helping him do it.

If you haven’t expressed yourself to your Senate/House reps please…please…do so and stop this madness!

AMERICA TWO OLD SAYINGS THAT STILL RING TRUE TODAY!

“HASTE MAKES WASTE” – haven’t we learned from the bailout?

“AN OUNCE OF PREVENTION IS WORTH A POUND OF CURE” – We need to do everything we can to prevent this bill from being law!

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

JUST ANOTHER DAY IN THE SOCIALIST “REIGN OF BARRY HUSSEIN” AND HIS SOCIALIST/COMMUNISTIC PROGRAMS AND POLICIES!

Eileen for Freedom/Liberty   February 12th, 2009 - 1:27 pm

AMERICA…RIGHT NOW ON CSPAN2 (12:51 PM EST THURS 2/12)…WATCH IT AND BE INFORMED!
====================================

AS INFO…

One of the Nation of Islam’s Messiah biggest supporters, Fred Tausch of New Hampshire, a Republican-leaning independent, has taken out ads against this stimulus bill. He is spending $100,000 of his own money to run newspaper and radio ads speaking against this “pork” bill.

Part of what it says…

“Amidst our rapidly deteriorating economic situation, President Barack Obama and members of Congress have an extraordinary responsibility–and opportunity–to revive our economy and bring meaning to the words “hope” and “change”.

To date they have failed in every measure.

Instead of leveraging enormous bipartisan goodwill and a genuine collective enthusiasm for reform, the politicians in Washington who crafted the American Recovery and Reinvestment Plan reverted to classic Beltway deal making and borrow-and-spend economics…”

America…it is appropriate that on the day that we honor the great REPUBLICAN President Abraham Lincoln.

President Lincoln was a great American, no one disputes that, but he was also an American not afraid to speak up against injustice in our country. We all knew his speaking up freed the slaves in our country.

America…we are doing just that…President Lincoln would have been proud of what you are doing to stop the injustice that is taking place in Washington under the Nation of Islam’s Messiah.

This bill is nothing but garbage…crafted solely by the socialist Democrats to disguise their agenda to socialize our nation and our economy.

Keep speaking up and speaking out….if you have already called/emailed your Senators/House Reps do it again.

We have lost a battle…we have not lost the war…President Lincoln would have said that…you keep saying it!

======================
AMERICA…WE “ARE” THE NECK THAT TURNS THE HEAD IN WASHINGTON…WE ARE THEIR BOSSES…THEY DON’T BOSS US AND TELL US WHAT THEY WANT US TO DO…WE TELL THEM WHAT TO DO…KEEP TELLING THEM…GET IT THROUGH THEIR THICK SKULLS…NO STIMULUS…NO “PORK”…LAY OFF OUR MONEY AND USE YOUR OWN!

Eileen for Freedom/Liberty   February 12th, 2009 - 3:08 pm

AMERICA…CSPAN2 RIGHT NOW (2:52 PM EST 2/12)…WATCH IT AND BE INFORMED…PLEASE!
=============================

America…old saying…”haste makes waste”….let us learn a lesson from the fiasco called the “bailout”!

We let the government fool us into thinking the economy would fail if it did not act on the bailout…they did and it didn’t!

FOOL ME ONCE…SHAME ON YOU!

FOOL ME TWICE…SHAME ON ME!

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

AMERICA…KEEP CALLING…KEEP EMAILING…IT IS NOT OVER…THE DEBATE GOES ON AND SHOULD.

THERE IS TOO MUCH IN THIS BILL THAT EVEN THE POLITICIANS DON’T KNOW ABOUT…HOW CAN THEY EFFECTIVELY MAKE A DECISION BASED ON…”NO” INFORMATION.

CALL THEM TO JUST SAY “NO” AND LET’S START OVER WITH THE SOCIALIST DEMOCRATS INVITING THE REPUBLICANS TO THE TABLE TO CRAFT A BILL THIS TIME…ONE THAT FOCUSES ON THE HOUSING CRISIS THAT GOT US INTO THIS IN THE FIRST PLACE!
