The Name Of The Game Is 'Betray-The-American-People' And RINOs In Congress Are Playing For Blood.
John Boehner finally listened to the American people. He drew a line in
the sand and held firm on ObamaCare, even after Barack Obama and Harry
Reid refused to negotiate and shut down the government.
Then the RINOs - 20 at last count - made their move and
started
to spontaneously declare, for the record, that Boehner
should snatch defeat from the jaws of victory... betray the American
people... and surrender unconditionally to Barack Obama on ObamaCare.
Their rallying cry? ... Forget the fact that we finally have the political advantage...
give
Barack Obama everything he wants before we're forced to keep the
promises we made to the American people and derail the ObamaCare train
wreck.
And without missing a beat, Mr. I-Will-Not-Negotiate, Barack Obama, called John Boehner and Mitch McConnell to the White House to demand their surrender.
As we write this appeal, Republican leaders are standing their ground but
we're
not going to stand for this betrayal... we're going to nip it in the
bud and we're going to give these self-proclaimed GOP leaders and these
RINO betrayers a piece of our mind.

OBAMACARE, IN ENTIRERTY, IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL NO MATTER WHAT SCOTUS SAYS!

The Truth About the
Health Care Bills
–
Michael Connelly, Ret. Constitutional Attorney
Well,
I have done it! I have read the entire text of proposed House Bill
3200: The Affordable Health Care
Choices Act of 2009.
I
studied it with particular emphasis from my area of expertise,
constitutional law. I was frankly concerned that parts of the proposed
law that were being discussed might be unconstitutional. What I found
was far worse than what I had heard or expected.
To
begin with, much of what has been said about the law and its
implications is in fact true, despite what the Democrats and the media
are saying. The law does provide for rationing of health care,
particularly where senior citizens and other classes of citizens are
involved, free health care for illegal immigrants, free abortion
services, and probably forced participation in abortions by
members of the medical profession.
The
Bill will also eventually force private insurance companies out of
business, and put everyone into a government run system. All decisions
about personal health care will ultimately be made by federal
bureaucrats, and most of them will not be health care professionals.
Hospital admissions, payments to physicians, and allocations of
necessary medical devices will be strictly controlled by the
government.

100 Unintended Consequences of Obamacare
Companies, workers, retirees, students, and spouses all suffer from the law’s inflexible mandates.
By Andrew Johnson
Today,
Obamacare’s October 1 launch date finally arrived. Ever since its
passage, supporters of the law have made countless attempts to convince
the American people of its viability, dismissing predictions of lost
jobs, decreased hours, and rising costs, among others.
Yet from major corporations to
local mom-and-pop shops, from entire states to tiny school districts, a
wide range of companies and institutions have seen Obamacare’s negative
impact on their workers, budgets, and production. Here are 100 examples
of how Obamacare is falling short of what was promised.

Administrators of 150 Obamacare Plans Can’t Say Which Fund

Under the Affordable Care Act, on October 1 state health-insurance exchanges opened for consumers to research plan options and enroll in a plan of their choice. The options include the new multi-state plans (MSPs) that are administered by the federal Office of Personnel Management. They are available in select states during this first year of a four-year phase-in process.

On the first day the exchanges

site and its initial list of more than 150 MSPs in an attempt to ascertain
which plans cover elective abortion and whether the Obama administration
has complied with the law’s requirement that at least one MSP in
each exchange exclude such coverage.

D.C. REFUSES TO SHUT DOWN
Washington, D.C. is a very
strange place. The Constitution grants Congress considerable power over
the District, including having final say over its annual budget. This
has long irked local DC politicians. What happens if the federal
government shuts down? Much of D.C. government would, too, except for
essential
personnel. Sensing an opportunity to get a bit of publicity, D.C. 's
very liberal Mayor, Vincent Gray, decided last week that all city employees were essential, and he would not send a single
one of them home if Congress fails to adopt a new spending plan. Gray hoped he would be arrested
for his trouble - it's against federal law
for him to spend money without Congress having first appropriated it.
But as putting Gray in handcuffs would require Eric Holder to do
something
constructive with his time, the Mayor, instead, found a pot of money he
and the city council can use to keep the city's trash pick-up, libraries
and
parks going strong.

OBAMA LIES AND THE MSM SWEARS TO HIS LIES! THERE IS NO END TO THE RECESSION!
Dear Conservatives,
"Today, five years after the start of that great recession, America has fought its way back."
These words were spoken by President Obama this summer at yet another warmed-over version of the same economic policy speech that he has given for the past five years. Too bad the economic facts don't support the president's assertion:

- The Labor Force Participation Rate is at the lowest rate since 1979, with more than 90 million Americans not in the labor force.
- Gas costs remain high with a national average of $3.58 per gallon.
- America's GDP is limping along at an average growth rate of only 1.2 percent over the last three quarters.

Americans
know that Obamacare is a law that is hurting people. They have already
seen the President's unequal application of the law, the delays, the
carve-outs, the special favors, the insults to our values. They have
seen the lost jobs, the reductions in hours, and less money in each
paycheck because of rising premiums. They worry that they and their
families will have worse health care and more uncertainty than they had
before. The American people are demanding an end to this terrible law.

Christians in the Middle East and Africa are being slaughtered,
tortured, raped, kidnapped, beheaded, and forced to flee the birthplace
of Christianity. One would think this horror might be consuming the
pulpits and pews of American churches. Not so. The silence has been
nearly deafening.
As Egypt’s Copts have battled the worst attacks on the Christian minority since the 14th century, the bad news for Christians in the region keeps coming. On Sunday,Taliban suicide bombers killed at least 85 worshippers at All Saints’ church, which has stood since 1883 in the city of Peshawar, Pakistan.

Shutdown Obamacare, Not the Government Protests
Patriots,
Tomorrow at 12pm noon local time we are asking Tea Party Patriots across the country to show up at their Senator's or Congressman's local offices. The media, the President, the Senate Democrats, the Ruling Elite is Washington, DC, and now MoveOn.org are trying to blame this shutdown on the Tea Party. The timeline of events over the last few weeks (seen below) shows that Harry Reid's refusal to compromise is what led us to this shutdown.
We can't let these people clog the airwaves with this rhetoric. The American people have consistently, poll after poll, said that they want Obamacare repealed and the House of Representatives (the legislative body that is supposed to most closely reflect the will of the American people) is doing just that.
Please go to http://www.teapartypatriots.org now to find the office closest to you and RSVP.

Park Service employees. Where did they come from?
The "shutdown" is a show.
All
of a sudden, these Park Service employees have appeared—with gates and
police tape—to prohibit access, in the name of blaming congressional
Republicans and causing inconvenience to tourists. Our media go along
with the façade.
This
is even more of a show than "Propaganda Village," a fake "town" built
by the North Koreans in the North's half of the Korean Demilitarized

from afar. It was designed to entice South Koreans to defect to the
north. It looks real, but nobody lives there.

THE LAST GREAT GOP VOTER
REGISTRATION PROGRAM
For
all the talk about Republican voter registration efforts in Nevada and all the
money being spent on third-party and independent voter registration programs,
there’s only been one truly successful voter registration program in Nevada
over the last 20 years…thank you very much.
In
October 1994 – the year John Ensign
defeated Rep. Jim Bilbray and was
elected to Congress - Democrats outnumbered Republicans in Nevada by 11,520
voters.
In
January 1995, I was elected chairman of the Clark County Republican Party. And using funds raised by Ensign and under
the direction of GOP uber-consultant Benay
Stout, we launched an innovative, never-been-done-before voter registration
program that then-Clark County Registrar of Voters Katherine Ferguson threatened to sue us over to stop.
In
October 1995 – just before the Nevada GOP hosted the Western States Republican
Leadership Conference at the new MGM Grand, and after I moved up to executive
director of the Nevada GOP under then-Chairman John Mason - Nevada became a Republican-majority state for the
first time since Reconstruction.
In
March of 1996, Dan Burdish took my
job as executive director of the Nevada Republican Party and continued the
program with money raised by then-Nevada GOP Finance Chairman George Harris. By October of that year, Republicans
outnumbered Democrats by 4,211 voters for the ’96 election…a lead it maintained
for the duration of the 90s before Burdish, Harris and I all moved on from
party politics.
How’d
we do it?
