Congressman Asks for ‘Moment of Silence’ for Those Who Will Lose Jobs to Cap-and-Trade

"Madam Speaker, it's been estimated with great accuracy that between 2.3 million and 2.7 million jobs will be lost each year with this bill. I would ask unanimous consent that the House rise for a moment of silence to recognize those who will lose their jobs because of this bill."

5:40 pm (est) America…there is still time to put a stop to this bill.

Right now call your Reps and tell them no to this bill that will raise our utility bills through the roof…we can afford no more!

Tell them you have a great memory and will not forget their vote if they do not go with the people of their area.

1. usa.gov
2. At top click on “site index”
3. On left click on “federal government”
4. In middle of page click on “reps on the web”
5. You should then have a map…but do not click on the map…instead go to the left and click on “house directory”
6. Put in your state and get the number of your rep and call them

I just called mine and told them no way and that “we” would not forget their vote on this matter!

DO IT NOW AMERICA…IT IS TOO IMPORTANT NOT TO DO SO!

Sorry Eileen,

America tell your Reps nothing. Go home, plan to go into suvival mode.

All liberals must go! We don’t have time to figure out which 2% voted the right way. So, you all must go!

No more talk… let’s ROCK!

As the GOP vanishes, I hope we do not see those few far nuts left turn into an alarmist domestic terror organizers. But I guess we must keep on eye on them for that…

Eileen for Freedom/Liberty,I am still trying to keep you current on the birther conspiracy theories.

This one is from Plains Radio Network – Voice of the People

Private ping: The “other” forged birth certificate
From Polarik | 06/25/2009 11:33:30 AM PDT new

Keep this under your hats until I spring it on people

I was doing research today on the eligibility and birth certificate controversy that PRECEDED Obama.

Namely, the one on John McCain. It appears that:

1. Not only was there a forged birth certificate for McCain, he didn’t produce it. SHADES OF RATHERGATE! Someone named Don Lamb in Panama forged a Panamanian BC showing that McCain was born there in 1936.
Not only is the typeface on it from a Selectric IBM, it has the same Rattan background pattern as is on the Hawaiian COLB! (but in black and white). No one ever challenged it. McCain did not want to publicly release his BC, but he did show it to Newsbusters and the Washintton Post, as well as the Senate.

McCain did not want to publicly release his BC, but he did show it to Newsbusters and the Washintton Post, as well as the Senate.

2. The mainstream media was all over it, including CBS, NY Times {twice}, Washington Post {twice}, Dallas Morning News, Newsbusters {twice}, and HuffingtonPost. The first time that the Washington Post published a story about McCain’s eligibility was in 1998!

3. The Hollander v. McCain lawsuit was, without a doubt, the weakest, lamest lawsuit ever brought on the NBC issue.

4. After that lawsuit was thrown out because of “lack of standing,” a term already very familiar in the legal community long before Hollander brought his suit, and obviously long before Berg brought a similar suit, but one much stronger.

5. In July 11, the NYT ran their second article on McCain’s eligibility issue AFTER the Hollander suit was tossed, AFTER the Senate resolution of April 30 proclaiming that McCain was an NBC, and AFTER Obama’s own NBC status was questioned. The NYT argued that the Senate resolution was nonbinding, and they also included an analysis by U. of Arizona law professor, Gabriel Chin who focused on a 1937 law that conferred citizenship on children of American parents born in the Canal Zone after 1904, but after McCain’s birthday to make him a natural-born citizen.

So, all of this crap happened six months before Factcheck did their “Born in the USA” article that was supposed to be “the final chapter.” The Libtards were all over McCain’s azz all that time, right up until the heat was turned on Obama.

Then, suddenly WE were the wingnuts with the tinfoil hats.

I know this has nothing to with the news thread,but I try to help you wingnuts out as much as I can

Bill Airs   June 26th, 2009 - 7:51 pm

Eileen for Freedom/Liberty,I tried to give you an update on the latest birther conspiracy theory.
I must have really ticked the right wing whackos and breitbarf off. They now put all my comments in awaiting moderation.
I guess I will have to go WND or some of the other birther sites and aggravate the right wing whackos there.

But I will give you a clue it is on Plains Radio.Voice of the people.

I have a dream! Not like MLK’s I have a scheme!

To meet L(arse), girk, mark, the good DR. and all the other liberals in a very dark, murky ally.

Wolf- you are one crazy ba$tard. The sad fact is… you are starting to make sense.

Time for you to go little (L)Arsehole here’s hoping you lose your job soon and you get to live under a bridge even sooner than that rock you crawled under..

You and Bill Airs can bugger each other once Obama gets thrown out of office after 7/13/09. If he tries to stay the military WILL escort his chicken hearted butt out of the White House…. LOL!!! Morons both!

SuperSarge229, saying buh bye, bone heads!   June 26th, 2009 - 11:15 pm

All Ya’ll,

I’m waiting for the Senate’s vote, but I really have lost all confidence in this Nation, it’s government, and most of all, it’s people. America, as it stands today, will vote for whomever promises it the most free stuff from the public tax revenue.

This all started after the first Republican president, Abraham Lincoln, freed the slaves. The Democrats swore they would never allow the blacks to vote. After African-American’s were given the right to vote, the Democrats set out to insure that their vote would be controlled by Democrats, for Democrats. They would accomplish this by keeping them poor, giving them crumbs, and promising them the moon. And black America has fallen for it like children being lied to by a baby sitter! That is truly a shame, because some of the best people this nation has ever known, very patriotic, very devoted, very hard working, reliable people, also happen to be black. (If that sounded condescending, please forgive me. It was truly not meant that way. Race is not my problem with this administration, it is its politics and the direction it is leading this nation!)

Eventually, the line between a Liberal and Conservative interpretation of the Constitution, (the ORIGINAL INTENTION of that reference!) became nothing more than an argument between Socialism and Capitalism. That is EXACTLY what the European Intelligentsia predicted it would! (What a shame, that THEY were right!)

Apparently now, a vote for a Democrat is equivalent to vote for Socialism, which is, of course, is a vote for Communism, and ultimately, exactly what Carl Marx said would come about. (How sad, for this nation, for us all! My father, my Grandfather, and my Great Grandmother all told me of the honor and dignity of the Democratic Party. How it was the ”Party of the People”. The ones for the little guy! I will never forgive them for their deceit!)

The common statement, “They think you are stupid!” is so very relative today! All that those who follow the left apparently know of our history is what is being used to degrade the United States! We can’t blame them for their ignorance! All that the Public School System will teach them is that the United States of America has been nothing but the Fist of Opression, sent by the European White Man to defeat the poor natives of a land of peaceful people! That the whole world is in such a state of repression because of a few White Men that American’s call their Founding Fathers! The beginnings of the FIRST GOVERNMENT of and for the people, is nothing more than what a bunch of white guys wanting to run a country of their own, managed to wrestle from England!

This is a nation that is so much greater than even it’s own people act like they know anymore! The truth is, no matter who may choose to adamantly deny it, INCLUDING IT’S CURRENT COMMANDER IN CHIEF, is that this nation, the one I love, is the shining path of peace, love and salvation, that is the best mankind can ever hope to muster! That which has been blessed by GOD! That which all mankind hopes for, prays for and fights for! That which so very many, not blessed to have been born here would gladly die for!! We are so very blessed in this nation, and we have taken it for granted and spat on those who founded it!

America, you are what you have chosen to become! And so am I.

I swore, many years ago, to defend the Constitution of the United States, against ALL enemies, Foreign AND Domestic. I will always remain faithful to that. I pray that Barrack Hussein Obama, will live up to what he has sworn before us and before God, to defend! I really believe that very few, who represent us in Washington, D.C., believe in anything, much less the honor of the nation they serve!

To all of you I’ve written to, against, about and argued with, I have enjoyed the engagement! It was real, and I thank all of you, including “wut,wut, Dr. Lame Jane, L’ameguy, rev hatchshit and the rest of you braindead idiots the left has produced, for your debate!

Freedom of Speech is a Gift from God and the public debate in this nation is truly wonderful, but it is past time for me to shut up and see what happens! Maybe it is my old age that is now blurring my view. I hope so.

I live with a deep understanding, that the instant focus, the sudden, life changing understanding, that I experienced one morning in September of 2001, is more real than I wish it were! I have studied both the King James Version of the Holy Bible and the Koran. I have studied the teachings of Buddha. I have studied Hinduism and read of Eightfold path. I even looked into L. Ron Hubbard’s silly B.S.! .I was, on 9/11/2001, a very devout and determined Pagan. I saw, that morning, what Christ and Paul had both warned us of! They both told of a deceiver, the things he would say, and things to come. Put the New Testament in one hand and the Holy Koran in the other for yourself! Enough of that! Religion is a personal thing! Good Luck!

As for me, I will sit at the end of this dirt road for the rest of my life, defending the United States of America’s Constitution, It’s Bill of Right’s, and especially it’s First and Second Amendment!

Love All, Ya’ll!
Goodbye!

American Republicans…once again…we have (8) Republican turncoats that voted “yes” for this cap & trade bill that will saddle the American taxpayer with larger utility bills and much more! They join the ranks of the Stimulus (3) turncoats…Spector, Collins & Snowe.

They not only took the bill over the top to get it passed…they added one extra vote that wasn’t even needed! What slugs…these (8) are!

Here are their names:
Mary Bono (California)
William Castle (Delaware)
Mark Kirk (Illinois)
Leonard Lance (New Jersey)
Frank LoBiondo (New Jersey)
John McHugh (New York)
David Reichert (Washington)
Chris Smith (New Jersey)

If you live in “their” district, and you contacted them to vote “no” to yet another stifling charge to your pocketbook, you need to call them again and tell them how you feel about how they voted. Let them know that when they come up for re-election…they are gone…like your money!

We can’t give up…the Senate vote is coming up next! We must do all we can to stop this from passing…but when you call them to express yourself…DO NOT USE THE GENERAL NUMBER OF THE SENATE…USE THEIR WASHINGTON OFFICE NUMBER INSTEAD.

This is part of the problem, news station and radio stations were giving out the “general” numbers of the House and with millions calling in…the lines were always busy!

SO REMEMBER…CALL YOUR SENATE REPS OFFICE…NOT THE GENERAL NUMBER WHEN THE TIME COMES!

1. usa.gov
2. At top click on ’site index’
3. On left click on ‘fed government’
4. In center page click on ‘legislative branch’
5. Click on ‘senators on the web’
5. You can look up your Senator and under their name is their telephone number and/or their web page

P.S you can do the same for the House with these directions

START TODAY…AMERICA…AND KEEP CALLING EVERYDAY UNTIL THEY GET THE PICTURE ABOUT HOW MAD WE ARE ABOUT WHAT “THEY” ARE DOING TO HELP DESTROY AMERICA FROM WITHIN!
