Enough is enough. It's time for you and the rest of our so-called Republican leaders in Congress to grow some spines. The sheer audacity of Barack Obama proposing to spend an additional half trillion dollars of the American taxpayers' hard-earned money on a job destruction scam is only exceeded by the INSANITY of your apparent willingness to compromise with Obama on his job destruction scam.
When Obama announced his plan to destroy even more American jobs, according to press reports, Speaker of the House John Boehner actually said Obama's ideas "merit consideration" and that he hoped that Obama would give"serious consideration to [Republican] ideas as well."
Have you taken leave of your senses? That was the wrong response. The correct response was: "Hell no, Mr. Obama. Your job destruction bill will NEVER SEE THE LIGHT OF DAY," and that is precisely what the American people want you to tell Barack Obama... right now... starting today. There is no excuse to do otherwise; and please, do not even attempt to insult the intelligence of the American people by telling us that Republicans only hold the majority in one half of one third of the government.
The American people know that the Speaker of the House, barring a discharge petition signed by a majority of the members of the House of Representatives, has the SOLE AUTHORITY to prohibit legislation from reaching the floor of the House. If you say "no," Barack Obama's job destruction bill is dead on arrival... it's that simple.
Do not deceive yourselves; no amount of lipstick will make this pig of a bill attractive. No amount of tweaking or compromising will transform this job destruction bill into a job creation bill. Kill this job destruction scheme and kill it now! And please understand, if you persist in advancing the mythical and ludicrous notion that compromise is "the way things are done in Washington," know that voting spineless conservatives out of office is "the way things are done in the rest of this country."
That's the ACTUAL WORDING of the faxes that we're sending to Mr. Boehner and our so-called Republican leaders in Congress and if you agree, you can stand with us and send that message right here and right now.

I'm Going To Destroy This Country And Send You The Bill.
Even before Barack Obama unveiled his Job Destruction Scheme, we knew that the contention that it would create jobs was a bold-faced lie, but even we did not know, when he sanctimoniously wagged his finger and waived his bogus bill in our faces, that Obama would have the audacity to demand that we pay for his grand job destruction scheme.
That's right. He's demanding that you pay for this latest installment in his ongoing saga to destroy this great country. His job destruction scheme will carry a price tag of approximately 450 billion dollars... that's 1,500 dollars for every man, woman and child in the United States. He's going to destroy your way of life and send you a 1,500 dollar invoice for giving him the privilege.
But what is even more surreal is the lackluster response from our conservative leaders.
Their response should have been swift and decisive: No, Mr. Obama, your so-called job creation plan is, in reality, a job destruction plan, and we refuse to give it a moment of consideration. It's dead on arrival. It will never get a vote in Congress. Period. Have a nice day.
They didn't send that message but it's not too late for them to send that message and, truth be told, as Barack Obama criss-crosses the country selling his snake oil to standing room only crowds of hard-core leftists and useful idiots, it's a message that needs to be sent right now; and with your help, it's a message that we're going to send right now.

Don't Let Them Lie To You: Speaker Boehner Can Stop This Job Destruction Scheme With One Word.
The Constitution is very clear. In order for a bill to become law, it must be passed by both Houses of Congress. Moreover, Article 1 Section 7 of the US Constitution specifically reads: "All Bills for raising Revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives...."
And according to House rules, one person, and only one person, determines what bills come to the floor of the House of Representatives for a vote. That person is the Speaker of the House and the Speaker can only be overruled if a majority of the members of the House of Representatives sign a Discharge Petition to force a vote.
In plain English, that means that all John Boehner has to do is say "No, Mr. Obama, your job destruction bill will NEVER get a vote. I'm NOT bringing it to the floor," and since his political opponents do not have a majority in the House of Representatives, they have no hope of mustering the votes on a discharge petition to force Mr. Boehner to call a vote on Obama's job destruction bill.
If Boehner says "no," Obama's job destruction bill is dead on arrival. It really is that simple.
And just in case you are thinking that holding a bill at the Speaker's desk is some seldom used procedural maneuver, think again. Nancy Pelosi perpetually refused to bring Republican supported initiatives to the floor of the House when she held the Speaker's gavel. Boehner should do the same.
But Boehner isn't saying no. Far from it. According to Business Insider:"Boehner will outline a path for compromise between Obama's American Jobs Act, and the GOP's Plan for America's Jobs Creators." CSpan reports: "Boehner said the ideas in President Obama’s American Jobs Act 'merit consideration.' He also said he hopes the President 'gives serious consideration to our ideas as well.'"
Obama's job destruction schemes "merit consideration"? ... Boehner hopes that Obama will give "serious consideration" to his ideas"? Is the man stark raving mad? And there's that word again... "compromise."
Will Mr. Boehner and our Republican leaders ever learn? That's a good question and with your help, we're going to hold their feet to the fire and get some answers... right here and right now.

Fool Me Once, Shame On You. Fool Me Twice, Shame On Me.
Let's play devil's advocate for a moment and take Mr. Obama at his word. Even"economists" who are friendly to Mr. Obama project that his so-called "job creation act" will create as many as two million new jobs (it won't). With a price tag of approximately 450 billion dollars, that comes to a quarter of a million dollars per job.
That's insane! But why go through the subterfuge of convincing everyone that the purpose of this legislation is to create jobs? Why not just confiscated the money and cut two million families a check for a quarter of a million dollars a piece?
The answer, of course, is that Obama's "job creation act" is not meant to bring about a net increase in jobs. It's a scheme to reward Obama's cronies under the guise of creating jobs and, unfortunately, it will cause jobs to be lost. We should let history be our guide. We already let Obama pour 800 billion dollars into a failed stimulus scheme and almost three years into the Obama Regime, we've achieved a net loss of 2.5 million jobs in the United States.
The only light at the end of this tunnel is the consideration that if 800 billion translates to a net loss of 2.5 million jobs, then another 450 billion of government waste and abuse will only translate to a net loss of about 1.4 million more jobs.
Susan Stamper Brown, writing for GOPUSA aptly writes: "Americans should think twice before hopping on the Democrats' bandwagon bound for bankruptcy...." She adds: "And, once again, we are expected to trust [Obama's] judgment and blindly march to cliff's edge as mindless lemmings."
Our answer isn't "no" ... it's "Hell No!" And it's time to demand that our Republican leaders in Congress get some backbone and put a stop to this insanity!

Obama Says We Must Pass This Bill Now. He Says "America Can't Wait."
Gary Bauer with American Values tells us: "There is nothing new in Obama’s legislative proposal that is likely to work any better than his other 'job creation' ideas. The legislation is a hodge-podge of... bail outs for state and local governments and public service unions..."
That's right... we're talking about handouts to Obama's cronies and allies, much like the half billion dollar handout to Solyndra, the solar company that just went belly-up and put approximately 1,100 more people on the unemployment line; and we can only wonder if the 50,000-100,000 dollars that Solyndra's George Kaiser bundled to the Obama campaign in 2008 played any part in this unfolding drama.
And now, Obama's going back to the well and he's expecting you to foot the bill yet again. Your fee will be higher taxes and personal economic hardship. According to HSACoalition.org: "[T]here is a new type of tax increase for you and yours. Any tax deduction you take, for your home mortgage, for your health insurance, or for your Health Savings Account, are all subject to being limited. It’s a universal tax break limitation on all tax breaks for those 'the One' defines as wealthy. It’s a tax. A tax to pay for a 'jobs' bill that won’t produce jobs, just like the trillion dollars 'the One' spent with no increase in jobs."
When your taxes go through the roof, consider it a small price to pay to ensure four more years of the Obama Regime, courtesy of "the One" himself and the so-called conservative leaders in Congress who have the power to stop the destruction of this great country and are, thus far, refusing to exercise that power. Perhaps that's why Susan Stamper Brown calls Obama's job destruction plan "a frightfully expensive gimmick" to bolster "Obama's re-election chances in 2012."
Obama says "America can't wait," but truth be told, America can't wait for our Republican leaders to grow a spine and put a stop this this insanity.... and America can't wait for Barack Obama to be gone... once and for all... for good.
