Obama Tax Pledge Up In Smoke: Tobacco Tax Increase Angers Smokers

AP: The largest increase in tobacco taxes took effect despite Obama's promise not to raise taxes of any kind on families earning under $250,000 or individuals under $200,000. This is one tax that disproportionately affects the poor, who are more likely to smoke than the rich.

THEY WILL HAVE ONE MORE CHANCE TO GET IT RIGHT FOR AMERICA…CALL/EMAIL RIGHT NOW!

DON’T WAIT…TODAY IS CRUCIAL!

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

GOD BLESS AMERICA THE LAND OF THE FREE AND THE HOME OF THE BRAVE…MAY OUR CHRISTIAN GOD IN OUR CHRISTIAN LAND CONTINUE TO BLESS OUR GREAT NATION AS WE STAND UP FOR FREEDOM, LIBERTY AND JUSTICE!

America…taxes are not the only bad things happening to us as Americans…there are other worse things!

============================
America…wake up! Wake up before you wake up one morning and do not recognize your country as many Europeans have already done!
.
Saul Alinsky Obama is looking to hire more Muslims in the White House.

Read it for yourself at: http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=93251

==========================================
I speak out against the radical “changes” being foisted upon our great nation by Saul Alinsky Obama and his henchmen because I do not want to see happening in our great nation what is happening in Europe as the Islamic Muslims have moved into their countries.

Because there are so many Islamic Muslims in England they have now granted them the rights within those communities there to practice the Islamic Sharia law…negating English law?

Do you know what Sharia Law is? It is the law that allows “honor” killings. Like the father who recently, in our country, just shot his two beautiful daughters in the back of his cab, because they were friends with American boys who are considered “infidels”?

How about the man who had the Islamic Muslim TV (again in our country) station to promote how “unthreatening” Muslims were…until his wife filed for divorce and he cut off her head?

That is Sharia Law…it is especially hard on women…and freedoms and liberties…there is no place for Sharia law in any democratic society.

I read that in Belgium there are so many Islamic Muslims there the Belgium people and police are even afraid to go within the Islamic Muslim communities that are in their dear Belgium because they fear for their lives?

Now Saul Alinsky Obama is recruiting Islamic Muslims into our White House?

I call being informed…being aware…I call that nipping it in the bud…I call it being cautious and trying to prevent the destruction of America from within.

I look at Europe and it is disintegrating at a rapid pace…due to the Islamic Muslims taking over their countries and imposing “their” laws on the citizens of those countries.

We are a proud people…we must look to Europe to see what we need to do to prevent the destruction of our country from “within”!

America…stand up and speak up…there is so much evil today in America seeking to destroy us from within.

Fight on…march…continue calling/emailing we will do as our founding fathers did…speaking up and fighting against oppression, tyranny and eventually our freedoms, liberties and sovereignty!

WAKE UP…KNOWLEDGE IS POWER AND WE ARE TAKING OUR POWER BACK FROM WASHINGTON!
=========================================
GOD BLESS AMERICA…THE LAND OF THE FREE AND THE HOME OF THE BRAVE…MAY OUR “CHRISTIAN” GOD CONTINUE TO BLESS OUR GREAT NATION AND PROTECT US AGAINST THE EVIL THAT SEEKS TO DESTROY US!

America…smoking taxes are small potatoes compared to what the NEW WORLD ORDER has in store for America and other countries around the world!

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

AMERICA YOU MUST WATCH THIS VIDEO>>>>>>>>>

IT IS ALMOST 2 HRS LONG, BUT YOU WILL GO AWAY WITH A NEW AWAKENING AT WHERE WE ARE IN OUR COUNTRY AND WHAT WE CAN DO TO STOP THE MADNESS!
PLEASE…PLEASE VIEW THIS VIDEO IN IT’S ENTIRETY…AND PRAY FOR AMERICA!

http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=7886780711843120756

=========================
A SUMMARY…
=========================

It details the reality of a secret group of very rich, very elite individuals around the world called the Bilderburg Society. Henry Kissinger, the Bushes, Rockefeller, etc are some of the members.

It proves how Obama was chosen to be their puppet and was elevated to the position he is in with their help. It uses actual news footage, investigations into the group, and commentary by several experts in the field, etc.

It tells their mission to take down the banks and bankrupt the economy in America. What they are planning for our military, etc.

You will be amazed at what is going on in America and the world. I believe it totally…and you will too after viewing it.

It is long…but extremely informative and worth your time.

Please watch it…and then if you think it is as valuable in information as I have found, share it with family and friends, as I have.

JUST ANOTHER SAD, SAD DAY IN THE “REIGN OF BARRY HUSSEIN” AND HIS PUPPET ROLE IN THE NEW WORLD ORDER…OUT TO DESTROY AMERICA FROM WITHIN!

What kind of Doctor is Mary Pat Jordon? Is she a PhD in Marxism? I think so because he hate for anyone she disagrees with is exactly what the Soviets show.
This tax is incredible.It will NEVER go to help children..Here in Taxachusetts they raised cigarette tax so many times claiming it “Was for the Children” It still isn’t going to any children…well..maybe children here illegally.
Next they will be raising tax on food like Steak…or any meat products…they tax these things because THEY don’t eat it or smoke it so they want to punish anyone who does.
Obama is a lying thief…as are Maxine Waters…Rangel…Barney Frank,Dodds,Kerry,Pelosi,Reid and all Dems.
Attend the nearest Tea Party Demonstration this April 15th…We MUST fight back.

Complain here:

Far lesser jack offs have been banned…

Eileen for Freedom/Liberty   April 2nd, 2009 - 10:50 am

Dear Mary…isn’t that just like a Democratzi…trying to take away another American’s freedom of speech!

That is what all you Democratzi would like…because unlike you…we say something of substance and value…while you just call names and ask for our thoughts to be removed because they are definitely in opposition to yours!

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

JUST ANOTHER SAD SOCIALIST DAY IN THE “REIGN OF BARRY HUSSEIN” AND HIS HENCHMEN IN AMERICA TRYING TO STOP FREE SPEECH!

a president smoker? this certainly doesn’t show that he cares about the “little” people now does it. He’s a farce, a commi, a socialist, and a DAMN LIAR. Anything to get elected and the dem fools fell for it. I can’t wait until it’s time to vote again in any and all elections…unless of course he bans voting next. I’m rolling my own cigs and he can take it shove it. I am so fed up..I am ready to flee this country that I grew up to love and respect. but, where do we go?

Now is the time!   April 2nd, 2009 - 2:56 pm

Hey, I got an idea. Why don’t you smoking goobers refuse to pay the new tax? You can start by quitting! That way you wouldn’t have to pay any new taxes and you would feel better, too. Try it!

Oh, Eileen, how is that Obama birth certificate thing of yours going? It looks like he is still President.

I thought america was to be the land of the free. It seems to me that may be as long as you don’t smoke. Smokers have our rights to, people that don’t smoke, don’t want to be in a place where people are smoking have the right not to enter that place. I don’t understand how a law can be made to ban smoking in a resturant where the owner pays their taxes, this should be their choice not the public or anyone else. This tax for schools is wrong people can pay for their own children if they can’t afford it they need not to have them. I am sorry if this sounds rude, but I am a smoker and I feel like we have no rights because of it. Smoking should have never been legal if it was so bad to others Thanks for listening
