The Tea Party Movement Goes to Capitol Hill

Donate

We are on our way to making history as the largest march on Washington in favor of lower taxes, less government, and more freedom. But we need your help! Organizing such a ground-breaking event poses its own set of challenges (from the permitting process right down to the the costs associated with stage and sound equipment for the rally). Your tax-deductible contribution will not only help us offset these necessary burdens, but grow the event and allow us to offer scholarships to participants who otherwise cannot afford to take part.

  1. Can I send you a check for a donation?
    If so, please give me the address to send it to and what organization to make the check out to.
    Thank-you

  2. You people are nuts. I wouldn’t support you if it is the last thing I do.

    • Sniff. Sniff. Yes, that’s fear I smell!

      • ..typical lefty resorting to ridicule..what you are smelling, Pink, is your own odor- try bathing..

        • Nice response there. Maybe your afraid to support them too?

          • Yeah, it definitely is of the Liberal way to resort to such dirty and hurtful tactics. A wise saying goes “Sticks and stones may break our bones, but words can never hurt.” Also for RHSchumann, if you don’t support our vision of a free nation, you aren’t welcome here.

        • I’m with you the PINK color shows signs of spoiled material(what ever KIND) Change the color MAYBE WILL WORK- MAYBE “RED” It will go with your THINKING!!!

    • OK- then send your money to Castro Mr. Socialist

      • You people don’t have any idea the dangerous we are confronting in the USA these days. WAKE UP AMERICA!!! DON CONJONES and his MAFIA are trying to impose the SOCIALIST to
        AMERICAN,and you are sleeping! Good speaker doesn’t make a LEADER OF GREAT COUNTRY. It takes a LOT to PRESIDE A NATION that OUR FATHERS & THE CONSTITUTION
        and GOD have given “US” TODAY IS THE DAY THE LORD HAS MADE<LET REJOICE TOGETHER AND PROTECT OUR RIGHTS AND OUR COUNTRY!!! AMEN

    • Good. We don’t need the support of moonbats like you. Send your bucks to the Che Guevara Memorial Fund for the elimination of Cuban dissidents.

      • I hope your comments weren’t direct to me! .I’m not a Cuban dissident , as you put it. And the money that you refering to ,is to help those there taking their time an effort to protect our freedom from the Liberals,that are trying to take over. So YES we need all the help we can get to uncover those that are against liberty in this Country. A FREE Country that open their doors to ALL looking for PEACE and FREEDOM! Words are easy to come to critize and insult others without a trace or acknowlege of their situation.This is the BIG problem in the World ,to judge Nations and their people for their origen.By the way the ONLY PURE AMERICANS were the INDIANS.Everything after them came from faraway places,from Europe to Asia and every continent in the hemisfere,SIR!!!!! Maybe if you want to send money to Castro o Che memorial you may call them they will give you a free ticket to Havana!!!!!!

  3. Sorry i am living in Pakistan but My best Wishes are with you.

  4. What I find ironic is that *your* party created far more “big government” than Obama et al. are proposing. Having government create a social safety net at a 10 year cost of $1 trillion hardly seems a problem when you consider that the war-of-choice in Iraq is pushing the $3 trillion mark already. Add to that the USA-PATRIOT act, the FISA expansion, the Military Tribunals act, and turning a blind eye to the illegal actions of the Bush admin and I think *your* big government is FAR more dangerous—and far greater imperative to fix.

    How about you start with that. As for health care, a good Christian could turn to Matthew 25:31-46 or Acts 2:42-47 for their inspiration on universal health care.

    • So true! And what were these conservative commentators, like Glenn Beck, saying when this was going on? Defending every single step made by the govt. and denouncing any opposition as traitors, fake americans, terrorist sympathizers…

      I bet these Ditto heads were nodding in agreement with them.

      I beet they were nodding in agreement with Beck when his guest was saying that another terror attack (nuclear) was needd on US soil to get everyone to fall abck iin line.

      I bet they were clapping and hooting when Beck said joked about poisoning nancy pelosi.

    • New International Version (NIV)
      Copyright © 1973, 1978, 1984 by Biblica
      Matthew 25:31-46 (New International Version)

      The Sheep and the Goats
      31″When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his throne in heavenly glory. 32All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.
      34″Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. 35For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’

      37″Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? 39When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’

      40″The King will reply, ‘I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.’

      41″Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. 42For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, 43I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.’

      44″They also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?’

      45″He will reply, ‘I tell you the truth, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’

      46″Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life.”

    • Christ taught individual charity, not “band together, form a government, and force people to pay for what they have decided is right.” We will be judged as individuals, not as a group of taxpayers. And we will be judged by God, not by you or me or Dick Armey or Obama or even Pelosi, who clearly thinks she is God’s equal.

    • Interesting Bible verses, but I missed the part where any of these verses say “forma government and give it power to make you be charitable though the law.” In fact Jesus often spoke out against old law in that it was made to satify the desires of man and not the desires of God. I always find it comical when liberals try to use the Bible (usually, out of context) to justify their liberal socialism.

      • You didn’t read the passage from Acts, did you? The one where the early Church gathered all their assets together and held them in common to do their good works—i.e. the early Church formed a communist governing system for its followers.

        • That’s much like how the Mormon church works now isn’t it? You have to give 10% of your pay to the church and if you ever fall on really hard times they will take care of you and help you get back on yoru feet. It’s a pretty impressive system. They are one of the richest religions in the world and own several corporations too. My sister in law is a very conservative Mormon and a nurse. Even she likes the public option idea. Then again she works so long hours so she doesn’t have time to be brainwashed by Glenn Beck.

          Interestingly, if you research deep enough you can find several proofs that point to Mormonism being modelled partially off of the Freemason system. Which makes sense; It was started by a disgraced Freemason who wanted more money and power.

          • As a tithe-paying Mormon, let me correct Straight Talk Express on a small but important point: choosing to pay 10% to the Mormon church is the same as paying 10% to any other church–it is VOLUNTARY choice on the part of the giver. Nobody takes it from me, it is a free-will offering.

            The same goes for the early Christian church: nobody (and no government) forced them to have all things in common–it was a CHOICE. Those living in China or Cuba don’t get to opt-out.

            Liberty-loving Americans know that the virtue in giving is in CHOOSING to give, not having someone (or some government) rob you, then give it to others. Sorry, but the message that it’s good for government to grab your money, then “give” on your behalf was tried by Hitler, Mussolini, Lenin, Chavez, Castro, and too many US politicians past & present. It’s not new, it’s not change. It’s tyranny. Again.

    • What you folks don’t understand is that these “fear filled ” folks aren’t against health care for those that need it. They are just informed enough to know that anything the government does never works as they state yet once they start it it never ends. They all want health care and insurance changes but they want it through the free market. At least with the private sector you might have some kind of recourse if you have a complaint but with government they will not care what you have to say and they have no one they have to answer to so we will all be getting the cold shoulder. My wife and I had government health care (military) and they made her mop the floor around her bed right after our daughter was born. I have two teeth that are at a 45 degree angle because a military dentist pulled one of my teeth and never mentioned I needed a bridge to support the teeth on either side of the space left by the pulled tooth. Thirty years later I had it taken care of in the private sector. Fearful? You bet. All this plan will do is benefit those putting it together. Strange the folks planning it don’t want anything to do with it for themselves. They are denying things are in that bill that are there. For God’s sake read it and don’t take a politicians words as truth.
      What does the Bible state about abortion? It is in the bill and Obama himself supports the worse kind of abortion, partial birth. Read the bill and then say you support it. They are lying in order to get this through.

  5. In history classes we learned about the concept of “no taxation without representation.” If this is still true today, and our generation’s children and grandchildren will end up having to pay ever higher taxes to pay for all of the expenditures enacted by Congress and the current administration, whether it be for “Stimulus” packages, “Cash for Clunkers”, or “ObamaCare”, then young children should have the right to vote, and also the right to vote for their own peer group to serve as members of Congress for it is obvious that they are currently not represented in Congress. If young children were able to serve in Congress do you think they would vote to pass bills that would eventually tax them into oblivion? Current members of Congress seem to have lost all sense of reasonableness and are acting totally irresponsibly with little or no concern for the well being of future generations.

    • I keep hearing this, “no taxation without representation” stuff. The fact is–citizens get to vote for leaders in this Republic. That means the majority gets to decide, and the losers do not get to make policy. The representation is there, but the winners supposedly have more power.

      For example Bush did things many Americans did not like: he gave big tax cuts which mostly favored the wealthiest few while starting two wars at the same time.
      Likewise, many of us were not happy to hear witnesses swear under oath that the White House was warned about 9/11.

      However, some who did not vote for Bill Clinton could not wait for the next election. They proceded to start campaiging early. They were happy to distract President Clinton with small-time civil suits (In the past such things had to wait until the Commander was out of office).
      Also, many of us saw trouble coming when President Clinton and the whole world heard, “wag the dog-wag the dog”) when he tried to do his job and keep us safe. For example he was criticized for reminding Saddam about the no fly zone. Likewise it was considered terrible when he took a shot at Osama Ben Forgotten. All of this, despite the fact that Bill Clinton had actually won the election.

      I wondered; what ever happened to the chicken hawks? Do they want power so badly as to turn into pacifists until President Clinton leaves office?

      No, many of us did not like many of the things Bush–Chaney–Rove and their power-mad supporters did, but they were in office so we had to suffer, and watch our country go straight to hell in every way.

      Actually; I doubt that many of these Anarchists even make enough to pay much in taxes. Furthermore, it is a fact that these tea-bag-suckers are being duped by the powerful interests. The insurance companies, oil companies and other freeloading corporations pay big money to public relations firms and law makers. (Anyone who tries to reform this situation gets called a Socialist–as if the suckers even know what such theories are about). These bag–suckers think that they are, “grass roots organizations.”–not hardly.
      Do Dick Armey and his hood friends work for cheap? Not likely.

      Furthermore, the stereotyping of people who are not wing-nuts as wimpy anti-gun perverts is badly mistaken. Let me assure you of this; the bag-suckers and their simple-minded, perverted, hypocritical bosses should think twice about trying to dominate the majority by being bad-ass. They may just bite more bag than they can chew.

      So in closing I say this; these simple unpatriotic jokers can insert their intimation into each other’s one body orifice into which solar radiation never penetrates.

      • Since you are satified that the majority should rule, I suppose you will also be happy that, when the Conservatives retake power after the liberals have dug us into a hole, all of Obama’s big spending policies such as government run healthcare and free handouts to ACORN are all repealed? The proposed health care plans that are in congress REQUIRE everyone to buy healthcare insurance, this is unconstitutional and will be repealed, only when sanity returns to D.C.

      • Ok Dr True,

        So many words with so little thought. This is America…People have a right to protest..after all if it wasn’t for the protest that I personally took part in back in the 60’s—A Black President wouldn’t even be considered! So talk, and make all these rude remarks all you want…but, I’ve been there before with people not liking my marches, or standing up for what was right. Back then they called us a lot worse than Bag-Suckers. And from reading your comments I have the impression that you are a member of the New Black Panthers…an organization that even Dr. Martin L. King disliked!! So when you go spouting history…think about this truth Dr.True!!

      • Truthseeker,

        The only single payer I want to see is Taxes! We want to Health cost,..start with the Lawyers going before a board before bringing their suits. Move insurances nation wide and uniformly, so insurances can cross state lines…leveling the playing field. But let’s face it…your not interested in seeking the truth about this Health Care deal….you’ve already made your mind up…so no matter what truth is put before you won’t make a bit of difference. If it did, you would be protesting with us to stop this mess!!

        • Doug, you hit it right on the head. All of this could be solved in the private sector if they would change the situations that you stated above. Non union contractors have been trying to get insurance available across state lines for years and years with no results. That is where the answers are. How come Congress wants no part of this healthcare program?

  6. Glad to see that Dick was appropriately name when he was born.

  7. We therefore the Representatives of the People

    We the People in order to form a more perfect States of the Union in Philadelphia Divine Providence

    Vs

    To all to them to whom they say Columbia Canadian Confederation Babylonia Codes of Hammurabi.

  8. Dick Armey is your leader?
    Is that a joke?
    Why don’t you pathetic hate-obsessed people gather up all your lemming-like ditto-head followers and get the hell out of the USA…maybe you can find a time wrap and travel back to Nazi Germany where you will can goose-step your way to hell.

    • No, you are the joke.

    • Maybe Matt, you could try to educate yourself. People like you that want things for nothing, or think you are getting it for nothing, are the reason this country is going bankrupt. Your probably one of those bug eyed folks hugging your tv thinking the Savior has arrived. By educating yourself and reading this bill you would know that your Savior is pulling the wool over your eyes.

      • HEY MATT…He is not the Messiah,but another frustrated big ” B” like Fidel Castro,that hated the country and the people with decent home and family.Those kind of people only are inspire by hate and evil dreams of power and revenge. We have to work to deserve what we have for our families.NOTHING IS FREE! Get off your but ! Read and educate yourself instead of sitting in front of the TV critizen those that are taking their time to defend the Constitution and the Freedom for us.

  9. What is this nonsense? Americans do not want to pay taxes, but they most certainly like receiving federal benefits. How to pay for everything? Borrow, of course.

    If the United States were a business, it would be bankrupt.

    • I do not like paying taxes, nor do I like taking anything I have not earned. I take unemployent when I am out of work, but if I were not taxed at such a high rate, I would have put that tax money in the bank with my other savings and I would not need “unemployment”. I ask nothing for free from the government, but I do demand that when I pay taxes, I get value for my money.

      • John, you actually do pay into unemployment, so do not feel bad. They thing is to work.
        Some people feel so entitled and just stay on welfare. It really grips me too. I have witnessed a lot of fraud in that government program, fraud in SS and we think the government can run a health care program. Health care insurance is not right to have. Everyone thinks it is a right to have something. We work hard and earn it.

  10. lol the only hate I see out here is from Matt and his fellow comrades! Remember Matt it is the DNC that is following the path you claim others are. It is the DNC that is nationalizing the free market in this country and that my fellow american is what socialist/facists and dictator do. Americans fought Nazi Germany and won freedom for Europe, we also fought Stalin and many other dictators in the name of freedom. So fighting the DNC and their march to goosestep America into tryanny will be a piece of cake! Veterans did not serve this great nation and fght for freedom for over 200 years to let the DNC take this country hostage. We would not let the RNC either so put that in your pipe and smoke it!

    JH America is already bankrupt we had to borrow money for the stimulus and the other pork bill they signed this year. We will have to borrow forever to pull off this massive take over of healthcare.

  11. I want nothing to do with the hate group. I am a good God Fearing Democrat and want nothing to do with your vile hate organization.

  12. Considering that most of what Washington DC taxes us for is illegal, I see nothing wrong with dialing down our theives in D.C. It is very unfortunate that voters on both sides are not well versed in the actual facts contained in the Constitution and that so many in elected office Obama included are either uneducated in the facts of the Constitution or are willfully violating it. I have made a 30 year study of the U.S. Constittution and it’s supporting documents and this study shows me that most of the “so called” leaders of the nation do not follow the Constitution and merely make up rules to suit themselves and enrich their own accounts. It is indeed sad that the people of this country are so willfully uneducated in the Constitution and it’s history.

    • I think most of us have studied the Constitution and it is interesting that there are many differing opinions as to its interpretation. It is most important to understand the vision of the founding fathers in that they were smart enough to realize that the world in the future would not be the same as it was at the time of the drafting of the Constitution. Many disagree with that concept without understanding the role of the three branches. It is important to understand the role that congress is allowed to play under constitutional rule. If Congress who makes the laws is operating outside of the powers granted them in the Constitution then we have a problem.

      I am in favor of intelligent debate of the current issues but all we are really hearing is noise from those that oppose the current administration’s agenda and it is not a majority that is in opposition. The pity of the matter is there is that a large percentage of those opposing who are doing so just because a black man is president of the United States. Yes, I played the race card and many of you on the Republican side know exactly what I am saying. Now that is not true for everyone but there is a bunch whose only purpose is to defeat the black man who occupies the office. When I saw some of the interviews a Palin rallies who just out right said that they had a problem with a black man being president. This was the republican base speaking.

      I do believe that many people are scared, mainly due to the mis-information that is being pass around. I read about and hear some of the right wing stuff and I can’t believe that this is who we are. The Bible does tell us that we will love to hear the stuff that we want to hear and not the truth. Also, Thou shall not bear false witness against thy neighbor (fellow man).

      I am trying to understand what is the problem with a government run health plan, ideally single payer? Why , when we try to down play some form of government plan do we use England and Canada if their plans are so bad? There are other Gov. run plans in the world that are successful. Are we so stupid that we knowing this would design our plan just like the ones that we think are so bad? Or would we start with what is good and build on that? What difference does it make where a man works — my point is that insurance companies have their say, why can’t the Gov.? Being that our government is for the people and by the people — then it looks like we are our own problem — because the government is us.

      • Wow! It only took you 2 paragraphs to pull the race card. It’a amazing how little regard a liberal will give to facts. Reading things authored by a liberal is always like writing a novel: If a fact gets in your way, ignore it. If you need a fact, make it up. Do a little research before you make a fool of yourself.

        I suggest a quick read of Bruce Catton’s “The Comming Fury”. Leading up to the Civil War it was the northern conservatives (the brand new REPUBLICAN party led by A. Lincoln) that led the fight against further spread of slavery, were willing to go to war over the issue, and eventually gave American Blacks emancipation, in the face of massive and eventually deadly opposition led by Southern (and many Northern) DEMOCRATS.

        The Civil Rights Acts of the 1960’s would never have seen the light of day without the REPUBLICAN party forcing the issue with the stubbornly racist southern and again, northern DEMOCRATS.

        Black voters en masse have been rewarding the DEMOCRAT party for this by their vote for decades, but as a demographic group the lag far behind in virtually every social and economic measure. Where has all this loyalty gotten you? And you want to accuse REPUBLICANS of being racist?

        You don’t have to like Republicans or their principles, but I resent your characterization.

        You writ like you are an intelligent person. Fill your mind with fact, not rhetoric.

      • Let’s see, Obama whines about how he doesn’t look like the other presidents, and 97% of blacks voted for him, yet you ignore that, and perversely claim that “racism” is driving this anti-tax, anti-totalitarian government protest.

        What happened to all that money that was spent for the Department of “Education”?

        Your multiple “names” don’t fool anyone.

      • “I am trying to understand what is the problem with a government run health plan, ideally single payer? Why , when we try to down play some form of government plan do we use England and Canada if their plans are so bad?”

        Excellent questions Truthseeker512. Why are we not asking Canada, UK, other countries what they would do differently, if they had it to do over again? Why are we not asking Massachusetts what they have learned from their health care experiments? Why not come up with a plan, then test it first on a small scale? Why jam through an enormous, economy-killing bill with no input whatsoever from non-Democrats? Why the rush?

        Disclosure: I don’t favor a single-payer system. This is because I prefer to have more health care choices, and I believe there are better ways to solve the problems with the current system, such as tort reform, insurance portability, and expanded access to catastrophic coverage.

        We may currently differ in our approach but I applaud your questions. Keep asking them!

      • Our Government is suppose to be WE THE PEOPLE, for the people and by the people, but it has not been for a while. Those people in Washington are so out of touch with the people, they have their own agenda and it is not us.

      • First off, allow me to say that I am a member of the Republican base. Secondly I have no issues with the skin color of the man presently occupying 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. My problem is with the ideology this man professes that those in government know more and are more intelligent than those people in the general populace. This portrays a deep sense of elitism on the parts (the old “I am better than you” syndrome). These folks do not want to listen to the people who put them in their current positions to begin with. It does not matter what party they come from; they all think the same. And until such time that term limits are enacted which will prevent the establishment of these political feifdoms, America will continue on it’s present, downward spiral. Just like Dr Martin Luther King said, I too judge people not by the color of their skin, but the character of their heart. So do not play the race card here. That’s just a bogus way making lame excuses to cover up the inadequacies of the current government in place in Washington. It’s time that our supposed leaders listen to the people and not the special interests.

  13. here you go:

    National Day of Service and Remembrance

    Please take a moment now to post your personal plan to perform a good deed, volunteer or engage in another charitable activity in observance of the newly established September 11 National Day of Service and Remembrance. Help create a wonderful legacy that honors the victims and those who rose to service in response to the attacks on America.

    http://911dayofservice.org/

    guess cheney forgot to tell bush it was his job to set up a national day of remembrance.

  14. THIS COMMENT IS FROM AN ANTAGONIST PAID BY THE LEFT – PLEASE IGNORE….

  15. the organizer of your protest has a history of starting trouble:

    “Brendan Steinhauser was the Washington, D.C. chapter leader of the right-wing protest group, Protest Warrior. He led the counter-protest against the anti-war movement’s mobilization on September 24, 2005. The group’s confrontational and provocative methods have caused incidents at numerous peace rallies. Steinhauser also led an “infiltration” of a peace rally in San Diego in March of 2005, and protests of Michael Moore in Crawford, Texas and San Diego, California. He brags about making short films of his provocative “infiltrations” and distributes them to other activists. ”

  16. Sop it !!! No government group has done anything to make anyones life better Democrats or Republicans…you are all so unwilling to tell the truth about your parties. Before Obama we had the lovely George Bush leading oh! was he not your guy??? Now your on the right side???? Please get a life and stop fooling yourself. J

  17. Liberals are good at spending other people’s money for a good cause.
    Conservatives are good at giving their own money to a good cause.

    Thank you FreedomWorks Foundation. You have my FREE WILL donation. :)

    • Conservatives are also wonderful at spending poor and middle-class peoples money to enrich their friends and friends’ corporations (and thus their stock own portfolios). They are also good at spending the blood of the poor and middle-class on a senseless war for the same reasons.

  18. You people are a mindless cancer on the butt of society. I support Barack Obama 100% It is about time we had a president who sincerely wanted to help America and not just his buddies in big business.

    • Ok Stan, it’s nice to hear that you support Obama 100%. I am happy for you. But I have to take issue with the big business comment. It seems to me that Obama is doing an A-1 job of taking care of all the unions (AFL-CIO, SEIU, UAW, et. al) just like Bush, according to your logic took care of big business. So looking at it from that paradigm, whats the difference. Special interests are special interests. But while the political leeches pander to them, the average working American get screwed. You know, the guy who works hard 6 days a week, sacrifices his wants and desires to provide food, shelter, clothing and other care (including medical insurance) and never says a word. Never walks around with his hand out looking for a handout. Knows what he has to do and DOES IT. Day in and day out. And now he’s expected to pay for those who are financially irresponsible, who refuse to do whatever it takes to better themselves. You know them; the guy who bought the house he knew from day one that there was no way in Hades he could afford it. The guys who have to have the new car every year instead of keeping the 5 year old one. I could go on and on. If the Lord High Obama really wants to help America, he would inspire people to succeed through hard work and due diligence instead of running hat in hand to the government for a freebie. Like President John F. Kennedy said “Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.”. What he was saying is that YOU, the individual, are the master of your own destiny. You were not supposed to EXPECT that the government would supply your every need from cradle to grave. When one becomes dependent on any entity for their existence and survival, then they become a slave to the master.

  19. Our fore-fathers wrote “WE THE PEOPLE” not we the government into the constitution for a reason. The government started income tax as a temporary tax not life long event. The Democrats or Republicans have
    been running the show too long. It is time for some blood in Washington. If the politicans would stop
    stealing from the people we would have money. We need to put term limits on these positions. The middle class people can no longer support everyone. The rich need to pay also. These folks that are on these programs need to get off their ass and stop taking from others. We need to clean out washington and the supreme court and start over. We the people need to take our country back.

  20. I would like to say that when Obama was making his speech on
    Healthcare, I was sitting here in my home saying exactly the same as
    the Senator that yelled it out in the chamber.
    Obama told lie after lie and it is time that he understands that we as
    Americans are tired of his lies about the care provided especially for
    seniors and illegal immigrants.
    Just yesterday I went to get my medication refilled, medication I have
    been on for over four years. I just went onto Medicare this year and
    therefore I dropped the very expensive private healthcare and went to
    Medicare and a supplement. I pay for both! So what happens when I
    get to the pharmacy to get my blood pressure medication filled, but a
    response from the pharmacist that Medicare recommends an alternate
    beta blocker, etc. Bottom line Medicare is telling me that I have to
    change the blood pressure medication that has proven to be effective
    and go to an alternative medication that has not been. I paid for the
    medication myself, full price, $104….why, because I needed the blood
    pressure medication then and not after a waiting period in which the
    insurance, Medicare would decide for my doctor what was the best
    medication for me!
    I praise God, not Obama or Medicare that I had the money to pay for
    the medication. Unfortunately, there are millions out there that
    would not have had the money and would have had to wait for their
    medication to be approved, on their timeline and if not approved, then
    have to be a guinea pig when experimenting with the drug of their
    choice! The patient could die or have a stroke!
    Telling me that Medicare works and that a public plan might be the
    best option simply tells me that you lie! I do not mean you, but
    anyone that would make that statement.
    So when the Senator yelled out “you lie”, I am sure it was due to the
    frustration with a man that would stand in front of the nation and
    lie, lie, lie.
    An ace is an ace and nothing more! Fact are facts and the fact is
    that people are sick and tired of a President that would believe that
    we, the average person walking the streets, is stupid, gullible or
    ignorant. This is an insult and it is time he kniew it!
    So call him what he is…..a liar and deceiver.
    He would have served the public and his country a great service if he
    had stood up and told the truth for a change. He does not know what
    this healthcare plan should be, he does not have any idea what it will
    cost and he will never represent our interest by ignoring what is
    written in the bill put before the Senate.

    • HI FLORENCE!!! We had two Florence…. You are the ONE with the true statement!! We all are getting the same esperience with the medications,no longer what the Doctor prescribe,but what the medicare decide!! The LIAR sis sitting confortable in the PEOPLES HOUSE! It is TIME to tell HIM ! IS OUR HOUSE!! WAKE UP!!!! We will no rest until all the CZARS and funnies are OUT of OUR HOUSE and the PEOPLE retain their right under the CONSTITUTION!!! THANK YOU FLORENCE…….

  21. Sorry I suport the president 100%. People are in need of medical care and can’t afford it, on the other hand I’m pretty sure you must have all the coverage you and your family need and probably working a good job or have good retirement. Everyone is not that forninate. But remember anyone could be only a pay check away. Too bad you didn’t have such great ideas when the previous presidant was taking us down.

    God Bless You

    • Hi Irma! Well my dear I don’t have a good JOB or a good retirement,jus t alittle check from Social Security,after working years after years,so my husband, and still trying to do work for extra income.We do pay for our insurance Medicare/copay which the money it is taking from our social security checks leaving our checks with less money to survive! And regarding the pass President, the problem in our country come from years before,during the spending by Clinton trying to convince the country that the economy was in a great shape,when in fact their were getting money from China to keep the economy looking great! It was like Robin Hood taking from the rich to give to the poor,but in this case the rich China still wants their money back with high interest(%) The past president was ddaily attack no only by the Liberal press but by a Liberal Congress that never acomplish anything ,but creating more division and controversy.And now WE the PEOPLE are paying for all the years of terrible administration.AH and don’t forget President “CARTER” How about HIM!!! IS TIME TO GET INVOLVE!!We are getting tire of all the Television appearence,HOW MUCH CAN YOU TALK!!!! about the same ,with the same speach (BORING) irretable. ARE WE ABLE TO TAKE 4 YEARS OF THESE? I HOPE “NO” And Irma before give your speach, think twice! We are working people no RICH!!!
