Tom Coburn was on Washington Journal earlier this week. He’s one of the most conservative people in the Senate and his plan wasn’t just saying “NO” I guess when you back liars and thieves and you’re part of the food chain of a corrupt party you have to lie to people. Sucks to be them.

America…don’t be discouraged…we have lost a battle not the war…fight on!

Continue calling and emailing your representatives…the vote won’t take place for a day or so.

The White House knew these ads were going out…in fact it was posted on the internet late last night…but they chose to sit by and let them go on with the smearing of these Senators/House Reps.

The following is a list of the Senators and House Reps being targeted by the Democrats in radio ads in their area because they voted “no”. They are trying to “shame” them into voting “yes”!

Call/email and encourage them to stay the course and vote for the good of the American taxpayer…please do it tonight.

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 the email I sent 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!

Lying sacks of turtle poop!

The stinking, corrupt unions are one of the major reasons manufacturing in the USA is in the toilet. $27.50 per hour (plus benefits) for gluing on a mirror- that’s real skill.

Now that they’ve sucked the economy dry and nearly destroyed GM and other formerly great American companies, the greedy ba$tards want to blame the Republicans, and cry to be saved by the Obama nanny state.

I hope the UAW, the NEA, AFT and Teamsters choke on this phony, socialist porkulous bill.

rachel   February 11th, 2009 - 9:18 pm

What a disingenuous crap sandwich that ad is….just like everything that comes out of the corrupt Democrat party. Liars, cheats and crooks. No hope or change. This is ALL going to blow up in their face, as the stimulus BULL makes things worse and last longer. Idiots.

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!

ilimoku   February 11th, 2009 - 10:03 pm

I’m so tired of this line about failed economic ideas and policies. Socialism is a proven failure and it’s the libs that got us into this mess. Democrats fingerprints are all over Freddi and Fannie preventing Republicans from reforming them numerous times in the last 8 years. It makes me sick. This “crisis” is being used as an excuse to force a liberal agenda down everyone’s throat. Libs are unbelievably corrupt and dishonest. We are screwed. Obama has already failed. Worst Messiah ever!

Larse   February 12th, 2009 - 12:57 am

“copy and past” :D

RETARDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank our good God that fools like ‘you’ are no longer in control of our great country America!!!!

larse, who’s the fool, your libtard leaders think saving a bunch of mice are more important than you. sure hope you get to utilize that waterpark, what the hell, who needs a job

Sean R.   February 12th, 2009 - 10:40 am

Actually Larse, your the one who’s the “loser” here, all you do in your post is type ignorant and moronic statements, larse, you make my skin crawl you vermin, so just go back underneath the hole you originally came from, and leave the discussions to us mature, smart adults!

Liberalism is a Mental Disorder!!!!

Eileen for Freedom/Liberty   February 12th, 2009 - 1:18 pm

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

MORE ADS BEING SENT OUT…BUT AGAINST THE MESSIAH!

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 that also…President Lincoln would have been proud of what you are doing to stop the injustice that is taking place in our country 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…that too is similar to what President Lincoln would have said…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!

Jamesb   February 12th, 2009 - 1:19 pm

Larse is a farse and an arse.

Eileen for Freedom/Liberty   February 12th, 2009 - 3:13 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!

Really, Really   February 12th, 2009 - 4:02 pm

Of course the unions are for the stimulus package…President Obama ‘quietly’ signed his 4th piece of pro-union regulation. Government construction jobs will now go to union workers…no bidding for the best price, no equal chance at getting one of those jobs…they WILL go to a union worker.

Azul Del Fuego   February 12th, 2009 - 5:58 pm

Thanks for the phone number. I just called the GOP and said “No is the only option”. That’s what you union thugs and goons wanted, right?

Eileen for Freedom/Liberty   February 13th, 2009 - 9:47 am

AMERICA…WATCH THE DEBATE ON THE STIMULUS BILL THIS MORNING…FRIDAY…2/13…AT 10:00 AM EST. DON’T DEPEND ON THE MEDIA, THESE BLOGS AND/OR ANYONE ELSE TO TELL YOU WHAT IS GOING ON…HEAR IT FOR YOURSELF!
=======================================================

America…late last night the Democrats finally presented to the Senate and House Members a copy of the 700+ page “stimulus” bill that was agreed to by the House/Senate Conference. Each and every member is expected to read this bill and understand it in it’s entirety in order to VOTE ON IT TODAY!

It is a bill that is complex and written like a legal document. Have you ever tried to read a legal document? How about 700+ pages in just a few hours and then be expected to make an “informed” decision to saddle your children and grandchildren with a debt so high it can never hope to be repaid.

A debt that will come about because we have to “borrow” that money from “another” country…we don’t even have the money we are spending. A debt that, again, puts us at the mercy of another “country”!

Add to that the little we do know about this bill….$300 million for “green” golf like cars, millions for food stamps, the tax credit for buying an auto…scrapped, aid to NASA for climate research, funds for disadvantaged children at Head Start, and electronic tracking of our medical care by the government….America what is any of this doing for business that needs to create the jobs the Democrats promised?

I heard that Harry Reid, dropped in at the last moment, $8 billion to build a railroad from California to Las Vegas (his home state) . Doesn’t that sound like an “earmark” project“…something the President says is not in this bill?

In addition, we won’t see most of any benefit for the rest of the year. If there is some relief, it won’t be felt in the job segment until 2 or 3 years down the road.

America…this bill is being pushed down the throats by a President who should know how things work in the Congress. Should know, but we have to remember that most times while “he” was a Senator he voted “present” not even getting involved in the process or the vote.

Each “one” of the items in this bill (if they could be understood in just a couple of hours), should be read in it’s entirety, understood in it’s entirety, and then discussed in it’s entirety and streamlined and polished before any one of item should come up for a vote. That is the responsible way that Congress should do a bill.

This is an unconscionable and irresponsible act foisted upon the American people and our descendants by the Democrats and the President.

We need to tell each and every one of them in the Senate, in the House and the President that we, the American people, WILL HOLD THEM PERSONALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ADDITIONAL FINANCIAL BURDEN THEY ARE PUTTING UPON US….THAT WE WILL NOT FORGET WHAT THEY HAVE DONE AND ARE DOING TO OUR COUNTRY AND OUR ECONOMY.

America….Sec of the Treasury Paulson told us before the bailout…if we didn’t allow them to have over $750 billion dollars…our economy would fail.

The government, and the Congress, gave them the money and it didn’t work…and this one won’t work either.

FOOL ME ONCE…SHAME ON YOU!

FOOL ME TWICE…SHAME ON ME!

America…members of all parties are voting on this bill.

There are members of all parties that are showing complete irresponsibility by voting for this bill against the wishes of the American people who have called/emailed their offices and voiced their opinions on not voting for this bill.

Then there are true American politicians (in all parties) who are listening to the American people and will vote “no” on the passage of this “earmarked – pork” bill because it is bad for America.

AMERICA…CALL/EMAIL YOUR REPRESENTATIVES AND THE WHITE HOUSE AND TELL THEM HOW YOU FEEL AGAIN. WE WANT A “NO” VOTE ON THIS BILL. WE WANT THEM TO FOCUS ON WHAT GOT US INTO THIS MESS IN THE FIRST PLACE…HOUSING AND BANKING.

WE WANT THEM TO GO BACK TO THE TABLE AND START OVER. PREPARE A BILL THAT WILL DEAL WITH OUR HOUSING AND BANKING.CRISIS.

CONGRESS PASSED LEGISLATION TO PROVIDE LOW INTEREST LOANS —- “BECAUSE EVERYONE IN AMERICA SHOULD HAVE A HOUSE EVEN THOUGH THEY DID NOT HAVE THE MEANS TO PAY FOR IT“! THEY DID NOT HAVE TO HAVE A “DOWN PAYMENT” – IT WAS FREE FOR NOTHING!

THAT “NOTHING” AMERICA HAS COST US ALL DEARLY AND THE POLITICIANS NEED TO KNOW WE KNOW WHO IS TO BLAME HERE AND WE KNOW WHO NEEDS TO FIX IT AND HOW.

WE WANT THEM TO FOCUS ON CORRECTING THE MISTAKES THEY MADE IN THE PAST ON THE HOUSING AND BANKING.

THAT IS SOMETHING THEY CAN WORK ON. THAT IS SOMETHING THEY CAN FOCUS ON…DEBATE…POLISH AND THEN VOTE ON A HOUSING/BANKING BILL….NOT THIS GARBAGE!

THE POSSIBLE BENEFITS OF THIS “STIMULUS” BILL WILL NOT EVEN BE SEEN FOR AT LEAST A YEAR, IF THEN.

SO WHY THE HURRY? WHY NOT SCRAP IT AND START NEXT WEEK ON A “BI-PARTISAN” HOUSING/BANKING BILL THAT WE CAN LIVE WITH?

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

AMERICA WE ARE THE BOSS OF THE GOVERNMENT. WE ELECTED THEM TO REPRESENT US AND OUR VIEWS ON WHAT SHOULD BE DONE.

WE KNOW WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE ,AND IT DOES NOT AGREE WITH WHAT THEY ARE DOING.

TELL THEM AGAIN…DON’T GIVE UP…DON’T STOP…THEY NEED TO HEAR IT UNTIL THEY GET IT!

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

WE ARE THE NECK THAT TURNS THAT HEAD AND WE NEED THAT HEAD TURNED IN OUR DIRECTION NOT TOWARDS BIGGER GOVERNMENT AND INTERVENTION IN OUR LIVES!

Eileen for Freedom/Liberty   February 13th, 2009 - 12:36 pm

AMERICA…WATCH THE DEBATE…..RIGHT NOW…..ON THE STIMULUS BILL THIS MORNING ON CSPAN2…FRIDAY…2/13…AT 12:23 PM EST.

DON’T DEPEND ON THE MEDIA, THESE BLOGS AND/OR ANYONE ELSE TO TELL YOU WHAT IS GOING ON…HEAR IT FOR YOURSELF!
=================================
