THE "ARTS" CALLED ON TO PROMOTE OBAMA AGENDA

The President is recruiting the art world to use their creative juices as propaganda for his agenda.  According to Patrick Ciurrielche, who wrote a critique concerning the "use of the art community as a tool of the state", the Administration wants to tap into the artistic culture to carry his voice through artistic medium.  Mr.Ciurrielche has been involved in the art world and with the NEA, therefore, was invited by the National Endowment of the Arts to participate in a conference call.  This call was run by the following: Buffy Wicks, the White House Office of Public Encouragement, along with top officials from NEA, United We Serve, Civic Engagement for Rock the Vote and Political Director for Russell Simmons.  Those targeted for the call would include "a group of artists, producers, promoters, organizers, influencers, marketers, taste-makers, leaders, or just plain cool people to join together to promote a more civically engaged America and celebrate how the arts can be used for a positive change"  The focus of this change included Health Care, Energy and Environment, and so forth. 

SO...The Government is recruiting the "artistic" community to use their talents to "PROMOTE" the President's agenda...as they did so well for his Presidential campaign, ie. the "Hope" poster and "Yes We Can" song.  Where does this end?  Will teachers be contacted next to explain the benefits of socialized health care to their students?  Is everyone to be manipulated?    

Can we not allow Americans to make up their own minds on issues without the strong hand of the President coercing specific groups to influence us, by the use of their talents?  Please read this full article to realize the depth and width this Administration is willing to go.  You will never hear this on ABC, NBC, or CBS.

TRIAGE FOR AMERICA!

Mr. President, you obviously knew our Country had serious problems when you campaigned for President.  It is much easier to make promises when there is no guarantee you will have to follow through on those promises.  SURPRISE!  Now you're in the hot seat, trying to pay off all those to whom you made promises.  First you surrounded yourself with your cronies, who would normally be charged with tax evasion, but an apology was accepted instead.  Then you begin implementing an ultra liberal agenda, as required by the deep pockets who financed your campaign.

Any competent leader would surround himself with people of character first, then assess the situation, and implement Triage.  You stop the bleeding, and go from there!  Do you really think Health Care Reform is more important than getting our Country financially stable again?  Instead you continually spend money with so many zeros, we the American people can hardly fathom.  You seem oblivious that the money you are spending is money we don't have...so you go begging China for money.  Did Rev. Wright ever mention in the Bible, it says the "lender is slave to the borrower"?  We are an independent nation, and don't want to ever wake up as "slaves" to anyone.

Any real leader would have focused like a laser on returning jobs to America, and putting Americans back to work.  IF people are working, then they are more likely to obtain health care.  Jobs have been leaving America for years, and it seems you would have tons of support from both sides of the aisle to find a way to reverse this export. 

Mr.President...we now know this Presidency is all about "you".....and I truly hope the American people will "amputate" at our next election.  We need extreme measures to survive this disease!

ENDURING A MISTAKE

Living with a mistake is difficult, because we made a choice and it is, and always will be a part of our history.  We learn from mistakes, which helps us to be wiser in the future.  Normally it may take awhile before we even realize it was a mistake, but years later we look back and see the folly of our immature self.  We need not focus on misjudgment, instead be self assured enough not to fall for the same ill advised logic that led us to the first mistake.

Having  declared a preamble, I maintain America made a dreadful mistake electing Obama as President.  In a few short months we can clearly see the embarrassment, especially when dealing in foreign affairs, and lack of experience abounding in all areas .  Even a novice can tell the Presidency is "ALL about HIM" and his fascination of being in front of the camera...with a dozen teleprompters, or so.  He has embarked upon a worldwide Carnival Cruise, via Air Force One.  This President is about Power and Control, and We The  People are the only obstacle in the way.

Right now we are enduring this mistake, and watching the consequences daily.  How did we get here?  Total  frustration with the status quo drove some rational thinkers to abandon logic for fantasy.  A strategy of "change" was enough to convince us to buy an untested product, not proven safe for consumption...but we were so starved for a fresh taste...we gobbled every morsel, and asked for more.  After digesting, we realized it didn't taste so good going down, but the temptation was unsurmountable.  Now we are left with the acid reflux, bloating, constipation, and variety of unfortunate side effects.  What to do next???? 

Our bodies are remarkable, and able to "right itself", despite what we put it through...in most cases.  Unfortunately, swallowing hook, line, and sinker,  the promises of this President, was like happily acceping a ticket on board the Titanic.  We cannot complacently sit on deck and ignore potential icebergs in our path.  Health Care is the first major test of wills between this President, his cronies in Congress and the American People.  Now is the time to take over the ship and avoid the collision.   IF we don't take this stand, we will be plunged forever into the abyss of Socialism, where the Government will be "The Voice " of America, not the People. 

Attend Town Hall Meetings.  Respectfully engage and be informed on what the Government is proposing and how it will affect you.  Challenge the side stepped answers.  Write, fax, email and call your Representatives to tell them you want independence from Government run Health Care.  Health Care Reform is needed, but the Government is the Problem, Not the Solution.  Bring together all areas of the health arena to hammer out a more cost effective reform for Americans...without Government intervention. 

We don't have to Live with this mistake forever...a new diet is just around the corner!

IS THERE A LEADER IN THE WHITE HOUSE?

Hit the American people with the most polarizing issues first, put them in a tizzy...divide, confuse, wear them down, and conquer.  It's all about strategy for accomplishing the liberal agenda.  We are knee deep into Health Care, and after Town Hall meetings, etc, we know little more than we did before, but our Representatives know how we feel!  Is this the tactic of a true leader, or the bumbling of a greenhorn?

BRING IT ON!  Now Chuck Schumer will introduce Immigration Reform around Labor Day!  Eric Holder must be bored, or clamoring for his fifteen minutes of fame, since he wants to continue to delve into investigation tactics of terrorists.  What is he thinking???  Is he going to investigate Nancy Pelosi and her lack of knowledge about tactics being used????  How safe will we feel after he alienates the CIA??? 

IS there ANY leadership in the White House?  I'm thinking the new puppy could do as well as our present administration.  There is obviously no leader making decisions, just a community organizer trying to get his agenda accomplished, regardless on the effect it has on America.  Is there any voice of reason in this Administration? 

Can we stop this downhill spiral?  Does he have a clue?  Can he see one project through to completion?  Does he have any control over his appointees?  Do we need more issues to stir the pot right now?  Will the REAL leader of the United States Stand UP?

THE HIDDEN CODE WORDS IN HEALTH CARE BILL

Our President will insist "abortion" is not mentioned in the health care bill, but what he doesn't tell you is this health care proposal is written is generic code, which allows a wide rage of interpretation.  You also will not find in the wording the coverage for tonsillectomies, or other specific procedures, instead, you will find the phrase "essential services."  Now we all know this leaves the door open for everything from abortions to transgender surgery.  It is purposely written to manipulate the specifics at a later date, to ensure all the liberal goodies are included. 

Several amendments have been introduced to explicitly remove the coverage for abortions in this bill, but each time they are REJECTED.  Now why do members feel it necessary to inject wording in a bill to keep abortions from being paid with taxpayer dollars?  THEY KNOW THE CODE WORDS!!!!!  They are the "insiders" who know how this all works.  Manipulation is the name of the game.  The bill is incredibly difficult to understand because so much of it is based on previous bills, regulations, etc, etc....and you have to know what all has preceded to really understand what is meant.  We are reading a "draft", which may not even resemble the final bill because of the "fine tuning" later. 

We the people need to keep our Representatives accountable to what they say.  IF they say abortion is not covered by taxpayer dollars, then ask them why they reject the wording, which would specifically put it in black and white in the bill?  These Representatives have to know we are intelligent and investigating on our own.  Attend Town Meetings, call your Representatives and let them know you want answers and not vague generalities.  They know what they want, they also know it is not what the American people want.  This is AMERICA, make your voice be heard!

OBAMACARE+ABORTIONS=INCREASE BREAST CANCER!

Do not let Congress fool you!  NO Democratic Congress will approve OBABACARE without overt, or covert coverage for abortions.  Knowing that...they don't mind killing babies, and undoubtedly, they don't mind placing women at an increased risk of having breast cancer.  Of all the "talk news" shows, and nightly news; you would think this information would be common knowledge to all women.  Come on OPRAH and THE VIEW...do you feel this tidbit of information is obviously not worthy of mentioning?  We are bombarded with warnings of obesity, birth control pills, high fat diets, etc. as factors increasing the chance of breast cancer.  Shouldn't young women be made aware of research that overwhelmingly presents this correlation?  You can read specific details at http:/www.bcpinstitute.org/Publications/Brind_NCBQ_5_1_1_%5D.2.pdf

I was also shocked to learn the Susan G. Komen Cancer Foundation awards grants to Planned Parenthood, the number one resource for abortions, knowing the abortion breast cancer link.  Eve Sanchez Silver, research analyst for SGK, resigned when the foundation refused to change positions.  "This is an appalling lack of concern for the womenthe Susan G. KomenCancer Foundation is suppose to be helping," she said.  She went on to explain the breasts doen't become fully mature until after thirty-two weeks of pregnancy.  An abortion before that time leaves breast cells exposed to estrogen, which is highly carcinogenic, as reported in The Caleb Report, Sept/Oct Edition 2004.  The body does not react the same way when a miscarriage occurs, as this is a natural occurance, not manufactured.

So, if I were a woman contemplating abortion, besides the fact a human life will be taken, I would seriously consider the increased chance of breast cancer, and the psychological effects later in life.  GIVE LIFE A CHANCE!  Allow one of the millions of want-to-be parents out there love your baby!  Memory never allows a "do-over"...the ending is always the same.  One more reason to dump OBAMACARE!

PERFECT EXAMPLES!

Even the President said Fed Ex and UPS were doing fine, but the Postal Service had problems, and just today the Wall Street Journal reports the 120 million swine flu vaccines promised will be only 45 million by mid October.  They always inflate the positive, and play down the negative...SO lesson learned: IF the Government says it can meet all your health care needs, you know they can't and if they quote a cost, it will be much higher!  Welfare, Medicare, and Medicaid are administered inefficiently and fraud is abundant.  Paying attention to other Government run projects is a picture of imperfection!  Half the time the Government right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing. 

Government housing isn't my idea of the ideal place to live, the Post Office can't make changes for all the bureaucracy inn Washington, D.C., AMTRACK hasn't improved over the years, and we can't even conduct a national election without fraud.  Why would anyone want to take health care out of the free market, and turn "life and death" decisions over to the Government????

The more the Government "Controls", the more they can take from your pocket.  To them your pockets have no seam!  The old saying, "The more you get, the more you want" applies to ALL!  Before is the time to act, not afterward!  Once they get a program in place, it is almost IMPOSSIBLE to delete it or make major changes.  Turn up the heat and don't let Congress squeeze a "public option" through the back door.  Expect the unexpected...we are use to that!

SOMEONE PULLED THE PLUG ON MY EMAIL ACCOUNT!

As of last Thursday I have been locked out of the email account that I exclusively use to contact members of a conservative group.  We have been sharing tons of health care emails, videos, etc.  There was no reason, no over capacity, no profanity, no invalid login or password...totally no reason to lock me out.  All my member email addresses are unattainable! 

I called the NYC and California offices of Mail.com, and completed several customer service forms, but still no response.  Now I have to reconstruct all the email addresses from sign in sheets, etc.  I also began a Facebook Page, so there is more than one way to skin a cat!  My voice will not be silenced, and our group will continue to meet and actively pursue conservative values in our Government!

Maybe flag@whitehouse.gov is working very very well!

IF IT SOUNDS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE....

Now we know!  Like the old saying, "If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is"!  After almost seven months as President, we can see for ourselves the truth in that statement.  The "Savior", who promised everything to everyone is encountering opposition.  Finally, I hope he sees it is about America, and not Him!  It doesn't matter if you are articulate (with a dozen teleprompters), or if you are slim and look nice in an expensive suite...it is about securing protection for our Nation, surrounding yourself with like-minded people, who will always do what is best for the United States of America.

I see this Administration as being totally self centered.  It is about being in "power" and grabbing and implementing as much of the liberal agenda as feasibly possible, before time runs out.  Many actions, once in place, are hard to reverse.  Margaret Thatcher tried for years to reverse Socialized medicine in England, but it was impossible to do.  History is available to teach us lessons, but as a stubborn child, our present Administration is bound and determined to do "it" his way.  He wants all obstacles removed so he can bulldoze forward with re-landscaping America according to Obama.

People are speaking out, and Democratic leaders are appalled at all the questions and passions being displayed!  Nancy Pelosi and Hillary Clinton are estatic, as seen  on tape, when people are crying out against the war, or some other issue they dislike.  What hypocrites they are to chastise the American people for voicing concerns over Health Care, when our President or Congress cannot tell us how this tremendous overhaul will be paid for, or why they leave out major cost producting provisions, like tort reform.  The President does not explain the role of Health Czars, who are not elected, but appointed by him.  IF you read about these people, and read what "they" write, you will be totally enlightened and SCARED!  Google "President's Czars" and see where his advice is coming from and what they are saying. 

Maybe NEXT time we elect a President, the American people will take into account the candidate's passed experience, or lack of...those he associates with and doctrines he has accepted, the promises made to everyone, his previous voting record, which establishes his core values.  Maybe we need to ask tuff questions and expect SPECIFIC answers instead of fluff and vagueness.  Let us not overlook this present history lesson when we are called on to vote for our next leader.  IF it sounds too good to be true...DIG DEEPER!

ACORN & COMPANY STEALING YOUR HEALTH CARE!

ACORN, an organized liberal group who registered voters and drove them directly to the polls to vote, is now showing up at Town Hall Meetings.  Along with Labor Union members, they show up early and congregate at the front, to offer a buffer between "real" constituents" and their Congressional Representative.   You can see them being bused in on cable TV, but don't count on "STATE" TV, ABC, NBC, or CBS to put that clip in their reports.  They don't want you to know how this Administration is calling out all his cronies to bully people at these Town Meetings...to keep you silenced! 

We cannot allow the Government, who is elected BY THE PEOPLE FOR THE PEOPLE to become a basic dictatorship!  They want CONTROL and POWER.  They have started calling the American people "evil-mongers", "un-American", and trying to claim we are NOT grassroots oriented.  THEY try to make you out to be stupid, because you can't possibly be smart enough to know what is best for you and your family!  We have to push back at this dictator-like action.  We are citizens and voters, so YOU have to make your voice heard.

NOW is the time to show your Government who has the power!  This is most important issue will separate you from quality health care for you and your family.  IF the Government takes over health care, you will be a cookie cutter patient, and doctors will have to use government protocol to treat you...nothing more, nothing less!  This is NOT what you want.

Get out the door to your Town Meeting, call your Representatives, call and make an appointment to see them, email them, fax them!  Let them know we will NOT allow our Government to control our health care, as it is the first step to Socialism and loss of personal freedoms!

TELL THE PEOPLE WHAT THEY WANT TO HEAR!

How does this President get his way????  He tells the Americans what they want to hear, and spins the rest.  If you don't want rationing of health care, then he says there will be no rationing or long lines, BUT the same socialized medicine is in England, Canada, and other European Countries.  They do experience long waits, to the point they come to the USA for treatment. 

Be Vague! The Bills are purposely vague, but the framework has been placed to allow the Congress to implement the real intent at a later date...for instance, if health care is not self sustaining, a provision is provided for Congress to raise taxes without being voted on.  Talk about "just below the surface", so much of the wording is broad based to encompass a general idea, but leaves wide open for specifics later.  It is like writing a blank check, in which the purpose and amount will be filled in later.

Rationing: Health Czars will, who are not elected, but appointed, will be making health decisions..("Google" Betsy McCoy and read).  Section 1233 of Waxman bill gives doctors an incentive to discuss "end of life" issues with patients. 

SPECIFICS are not evident in Health Care Reform, and Tort Reform was purposely left out.  This is about taking control! 
This Health Care Reform is NOT good for America!

TAKE A LOOK AT UN-AMERICAN, NANCY!

Nancy, you consider debate about action that will plunge our Country into Socialism, UN-AMERICAN?  A plan that has little to do with Health Care, and more about implementing the liberal agenda!  Maybe you should consider the following as UN-AMERICAN!

Democratic Congress denying and not acting on reform for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac during the Bush Administration, which led to the financial debacle...all documented on C-SPAN.

Allowing ACORN, who receives millions of tax payer dollars to register voters, drive them to the polls to vote the same day, telling them the entire way who to vote for...as documented by reporter on TV...that was sure interesting to watch!

Telling America you were not aware of "water boarding" and calling the CIA liars....gee I wonder who was telling the truth, but that was swept under the rug...FAST! 

Buying new expensive jets to carry Congress around, in a down economy, when Americans are struggling to make ends meet!

Using tax dollars to pay for illegal immigrants' health care, when they have broken our laws to enter our Country illegally.

Using tax dollars to pay for abortions, which would be covered in the House Health Care plan, when many Americans object based on their religious beliefs...BUT our Government bends over backwards to accommodate Muslim religious concerns here in America!

Attempting to bring a previous President or Administration to trial for "enhanced interrogation", when they were doing everything possible to keep Americans safe after being attacked!  Shame on you!  What a diversion tactic!

Continuing to spend billions of dollars in bailouts, cash for clunkers, when we are incredibly in debt!

Chicken Congressmen and women who will not openly discuss Health Care in their districts!

Asking Americans to SNITCH on each other and send their information to the White House, if they oppose Health Care reform.

Organized labor union members going to the few Town Hall Meetings, to keep local constituents out, if they oppose the Health Care Bill.

I could go on and on Nancy, but you get the point.  One last thing...I guess you would also consider the following UN-AMERICAN:

"GIVE ME LIBERTY, OR GIVE ME DEATH"....I imagine all our founding fathers would consider your actions UN-AMERICAN!

MR. PRESIDENT...WHY NO TORT REFORM?

Mr. President, you seem adamant for health care reform, and most Americans agree there needs to be reform.  Why is it you neglect the most obvious reason for high medical cost?  Since hot coffee burned a McDonald's customer, our Society seems obsessed with getting rich the easy way...law suites!  I admit some are legitimate, but many are totally unnecessary.  According to Philip K. Howard, writing in the Washington Post, "medical justice system spends nearly 60 cents of every dollar on lawyers' fees and administrative costs."  Tort reform should be an integral part of health care reform, but not a word addresses this obvious problem.

Doctors practice "Defensive medicine" to ward off litigation.  Even a lay person knows when there are extreme number of tests required before treatment.  OBGYN doctors pay an exorbitant amount of money for liability insurance, to the point some are dropping the "OB" part of their practice to lower cost.

Why do trial lawyers get a pass Mr. President?  Could it be the deep pockets make ample campaign contributions?  If you really want to help the American people with Health Care, why take not tackle the real problems, instead of trying to get our Nation's foot in the door of Socialism?  Be truthful, this isn't about Health Care, it is about power and taking more control.  Once you control our health, you control every aspect of our lives.  We see the writing on the wall...don't underestimate the American people!

CAN WE HAVE A "DO OVER"????

Don't you wish you could wake up tomorrow and it would be November 1, 2008????  IF we knew then what we know now...would you vote the same way?  I doubt it.  I have heard so many people talk about the frustration and anxiety over the present Administration.  They have the entire Nation is a tizzy, from elderly to young new voters.  We feel like pins at a bowling alley, and Obama & Congress are throwing strikes, one after another.  We pray for a gutter ball, so we have time to set up again. 

It's a nightmare with no hope of waking up to a different scenario...just like Ground Hog Day!  Thank GOD we have each other!  We the people are being heard, and our Government does not like it a little bit!  This is no time to just sit there and take a "strike"....it's time we bind together as a Country, and as servants,  our Representatives need to listen to US!  They make all those promises when campaigning, and now where are they....taking cover and hiding.  

Unfortunately, a "do over" is impossible, but we do have the NEXT ELECTIONS!  Let your Representatives know your concerns!  The President wants us to get out of the way so he can implement his agenda...someone should remind him we still have a say in our future..our Government is SUPPOSE to be FOR the People and By the People.

WHAT'S NEXT?...NUMBERS ON OUR WRIST?

The White House is now watching you...the average American who is speaking out against Obama Care!  What's Next?  How long before we get summoned to the White House for a "talk" that puts us in our place?  We are the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA not Chicago!  We have freedom of speech which allows American citizens to discuss the good, bad, and ugly of our Federal Government. 

Many dying Americans saw first hand what happened when Government obtained too much power in Germany.  We have a right to discuss how far we allow our Government to invade our private lives! There are repercussions to this type of invasion.  This is more about a POWER GRAB than Health Care...and we need to wake up to this fact.

The Greatest Generation fought and died to keep us free...let's not be sold a bill of goods, and wish later we had stood firm against more Government power.  Those with numbers embedded in their skin can tell you about Government power, and how it can literally take over your life...and take your life!  The White House wants to know about those speaking out against their agenda....what will they do next?

Scary...very Scary!
