Glenn Beck hires actual journalists to launch a new website -- The Blaze

The Blaze
August 30, 2010 - 22:19 ET


If you are like me, watching the news or reading the paper can be an exercise in exasperation. It's so hard to find a place that helps me make sense of the world I see.

Too many important stories are overlooked. And too many times we see mainstream media outlets distorting facts to fit rigid agendas. Not that you've ever heard me complain about the media before. Okay, maybe once or twice.

But there comes a time when you have to stop complaining and do something. And so we decided to hire some actual journalists to launch a new website -- The Blaze. And we moved fast. We built the team and the site in just two months.

We want this to be a place where you can find breaking news, original reporting, insightful opinions and engaging videos about the stories that matter most.

The Blaze will be about current news -- and more. It's not just politics and policy. It's looking for insight wherever we find it. We'll examine our culture, deal with matters of faith and family, and we won't be afraid of a history lesson.

The image of flame is a powerful. It has long stood for a burning truth. A truth that is not consumed. The Blaze will pursue truth. Of course we will make mistakes. Honest mistakes. And we'll be quick with corrections. We intend to earn your trust and keep it day in and day out with hard work and a lot of transparency.

And don't expect everything to be deadly serious. Boring is bad. We intend to have plenty of fun.

We've put together a solid team of writers and reporters. I intend to keep them busy by sending a zillion story ideas at all hours.

We're also counting on you. Your comments. Your feedback. Your tips! You will help us build and shape The Blaze.

Thank you in advance.

Obama breaks federal laws: Unlawful propaganda machine

Obama's illegal propaganda issues were exposed long ago but seemed to disappear from any accounting for it...like so many of Obama's transgressions.
Thankfully this month Rep. Darrell Issa (CA), who seems to make great efforts to keep illuminated Obama's questionable activities on the record, has asked for an accounting.

Perhaps Obama can see November from your House.

[from GOP.gov ]

Rep. Darrell Issa (CA), ranking Member of the House Oversight Committee, has published a report with some damaging information against the Obama Administration. The report covers how the Administration uses campaign-style PR and propaganda to push its policies -- using federal funds to promote a political agenda. The lengthy report is worth reading -- and will likely cause problems for Obama in the future. Here is an excerpt of the executive summary:


Since the beginning of the Obama Administration on January 20, 2009, ordinary Americans have financed and been exposed to an unprecedented number of public relations and propaganda efforts. Federal spending for public relations contracts rose to historically-high levels during the Bush Administration. Under one-party rule in 2009, the White House used the machinery of the Obama campaign to tout the President’s agenda through inappropriate and sometimes unlawful public relations and propaganda initiatives. Congress buoyed the Administration’s propaganda efforts by increasing federal spending on public relations for the first time since 2005.

The Obama Administration frequently used federal resources to promote the President’s agenda. In many cases, the Administration relied on the reach and resources of federal agencies and their personnel to promote certain of the President’s favorite programs. The White House also leveraged ties to the arts and entertainment community to embed propaganda in the content of television programming and artwork. These propaganda efforts violated appropriations riders and federal law prohibiting the use of appropriated funds for publicity or propaganda purposes.













and my Impeach Notes:

Obama's Impeachable Offenses Mount

Breaks Labor laws.. - documented or not

Obama Illegaly fires Inspector General (Gerald Walpin) who exposed community service fraud in Obama's pet Americorps growth project.

Obama Rules It's Legal For The FBI To Break The Law On Accessing Phone Records

Obama Broke Ethics Law as State Senator

Obama illegaly uses 23 million U.S. tax payer dollars to promote YES votes for sharia law in Kenya's new Constitution.
Obama violates the Siljander Amendment while Suppling same federal tax-payer dollars for Kenya's get out the VOTE YES abortion referemdum.


Obama violates the Logan Act:
1) Senator Obama in 2006 traveled to Kenya and campaigned for pro-communist candidate Luo Tribal Cousin Odinga who made a pak to rewrite the national constitution to install shariah as the law.
2) During campaign Obama secretly asked Iraqi officials not to negotiate with the Bush Administration to draw down troops from Iraq.

Obama's Justice Department endangers rule of law and violates civil rights and discrimination law as exposed by former Justice attorney J. Christian Adams.

Obama's Unconstitutional Mandates - gov controlled health - civil service to gov -

Congressional support holdouts bribed for the passage of Obama’s healthcare bill.

Illegal order to place the U.S. Census under the control of the White House.
Obama Sides with Foreign Powers instead of Our States and peoples.
State Department travels world (Hillary) promoting “spread the wealth” propaganda.
Obama Refuses duty to secure border and holds Nation hostage to immigration deal.
Obama administration’s falsified insertion of a document that experts had agreed with their plan for a 6 month Gulf Coast drilling moratorium.
Ignores 2 court orders and pushes a third time to shut down gulf oil production.
Obama bypasses Congress and has EPA implement carbon tax.
Ignores stem cell Law.
Obama replaces GM and Chrysler Creditors and Bondholders rights and rewards Unions interests first in direct violation of bankruptcy laws.
Willfully Subjects the US to condemnation and redicule by the UN.
Offers 'jobs' BRIBE to lawmakers- not to run for office/s.

(will ad to this investigatory violations list as I remember them)

Restoring Honor Rally - Who is against it? Part II

Update: The rally was wonderful! The speakers- songs - and celebrations to ALL hero's was so great for our country and spirit.

The divisionist Media of course missed the uniting message and concentrated on a race card angle instead...as if celebrating MLK's dreams of all peoples uniting belonged only to the Al Sharpton's - who's comments have been -"...there is no way in the world that I am going to allow him (Beck) to have more people there than us. I hope every Black person in the country will help us to challenge this."

Challenge WHAT- AL? Honoring MLK??

The people gathered at Mr. Beck's rally celebrated Martin Luther King and his dream of 'content of character' while Sharpton and media worried over numbers and skin color.

It seems to be a big deal to the information speculation-sphere that it appeared to many that Glenn Beck was wearing a bulletproof vest...while Most worried for him, others mocked him for being careful.
None of the media that I have heard so far have produced WHY such a vest was necessary- IF he had one on.

For the nojournalist inciters - who look for SIGNS such as our LSPravda media does- they seem to have ignored reporting any of the the lefts signs popping up on the net where real communication gathers.
In fact the media comments that the people showed up without signs- so it was difficult to figure out what the rally was all about...

While the pledge and anthem and prayer and people being honored was being shown I kept track of what some people against Honor were saying on twitter @ (#glennbeck)...


KABOBfest Dr. Alveda King speaking now. How much was she paid?

streetmagix Where is a tactical nuke when you need one

RippDemUp Today is probably the only day that you wished that the DC Sniper was still alive and free.

lannedp @missbanshee Is it wrong that I spend my thinking there has got to be some crazy on the side of decency willing to take him out? #glennbeck

ofinfinitejest I'm kind of hoping Glenn Beck inspires a riot today so he can be imprisoned as a terrorist or treasonist or some shit.

ronaldjackson Glenn Beck's Messiah Complex: He Wants to Be a "Messiah?"— Cool, Make Him A Martyr!!

koolgiy You know those white semi-racist crazy christians people normally make fun of? Yeah, they're all in Washington today

danr RT @WadetoBlack Between #GlennBeck rally & Natl Read Comics Day, there's gonna be a shortage of white people inside their homes today.

SAWHEAT1 Well hello there ! Has that pink pig started speaking in tongues yet?

hbeeinc it sounds like #glennbeck is just begging to be assassinated. and if it happens, it will be well staged

soniafaleiro Fingers crossed #glennbeck will topple over while doing the Nazi salute.

cryptonomicon2 #GlennBeck does remind us of the Civil Rights Era -- that is, the people who hated Martin Luther King

tsytsma People are descending on the national mall like flies on shit for #GlennBeck 's #828 Restoring Honor Rally

hbeeinc ooops! #glennbeck forgot to put an asian into his multicultural choir




These are the type of representatives of people who celebrate the lefts hate, do not represent truth, and feel so threatened by values being restored.

These are the kind of people the media represents in silence and Obama instructs to go out and get in your face.

It doesn't surprise me that Mr. Beck may have been wearing protection when you read what these kind of jack-wagons had to say.

8/28 Restoring Honor to America: Who's Against it?

MLK surely would not be...yet the left media sure seems to be.
The liberals sure seem to be.
The progressives sure seem to be.
The race-baiters sure seem to be.

Without any foundation whatsoever the folks who gather this week-end at the Restoring Honor to America rally, on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington DC, are being labeled maliciously and even threatened with violence and disturbance.

This is not a 'tea party rally' that has been so falsely maligned in the media. But still it is being attacked.
Why?

Why is a gathering showing pride in America so threatening to these who threaten?
Why are people coming together to speak of the positives of our history so negatively met by these revisionists?
Why is speaking of the greatness of our country met so angrily by apologists?
Why is a return to faithful foundations so feared by the changers?
Why are people who gather to celebrate honor, integrity, honesty, equality, and the pursuit of such, being labeled with untruths?
Why are people who cast aside apathy and travel hundreds and thousands of miles in belief of true change - spruned for their hope?
Why are Americans who are assembled together to honor our heroes and warriors, who secure our freedoms, being ridiculed and marginalized?

How is it even possible for the left to portray Americans - who come together to Honor America, and to restoring America's awareness of foundation, principles, charity and heroes - as 'extremists' and racists?

Why are these left of center people so afraid of Restoring Honor, value, virtue, history and truth that they can't even repeat the Title and must instead...freeze it...then rename it?

We'll have to see who is against it - and what tactics are used to obscure the message by ridiculing the messengers.

Speaking of messages and messengers:
Remember Obama's Czar- Cass Sunstein - Suggested that the Tea party assemblies could be infiltrated to cause chaos. That of course received no press from the state run media outlets. From PravdaPlanet ObamaNews Organizations such regressive divisional tactics are served daily without regard to consequence or conscience.

I don't recall the exact threat - but my recall is the 'kill the white babies' mouthpiece of the New and improved Black Panthers Party said he'd see Glenn Beck on 8.28...we are still waiting to see if this type of threat violates the new and Improved Department of Unequal Justice's protection policies.

To those going to the rally:
Glenn Beck asks you NOT to bring signs to this rally- this is not to be a "political rally".
He asks you not to be intimidated by those sent to cause trouble.
Do not give the bleeds it leads outlets the satisfaction they seek by being drawn into any confrontations.

To all you who support America and Honor her - have a great and safe week-end!




8/28/ watch the Rally Live on Cspan at 10 Eastern - 7 Pacific -

Some say Obama seems to be disconnected from Americans - IMO, he was never connected at all...


He has not only divided American people beyond political party but has shunned our friends and hugged unfriendlies.
He'll bow to Kings and offer to sit down for tea with Ahmadinejad but Netanyahu gets a drive thru menu and England gets Churchill sent back in a box.
He takes literature from Hugo Chaves but won't except an envelope from Texas Governor Rick Perry.

While the Dalai Lama is shown the back door the Taliban is shown the exit plans.

Obama apologizes to the world for America - and he now tells the UN that the US discriminates against it's citizens.
As he relinquishes our sovereign individualism to UN and foreign governments approvals and collective condemnations he has his own discriminatory Justice Department sue a state of our own Union.

The community agitator, Obama, has never been a Uniter.

I think Obama has already decided he will be a One termer and can simply ignore what ever America, with all it's flaws, wants or needs.

The Sunstein Nudging has been over for quite some time.
If you can not be bribed you will be sued.
Obama instructed - if your neighbors won't Submit to change then get in their face.
If your friends or neighbors complain or disagree report them to our fishy government website.
If you know someone who redistributes what the Obama CHANGE really means than attack, polarize and freeze them as E Pluribus Unum 'extremists'.

It is obvious Obama does not care what the polls say or what the people say or want.
And why should he?

He has all the corrupt financing already in place thanks to the Stimulus Shill to sustain the collapse and control he has set in motion.
He has infiltrated every bureau of government and installed Communists, socialists, Maoists, anti-capitalists, anti-Americans, and they in turn have installed their own radical followers.
He has gotten away with usurping his authority by bypassing Congress on numerous issues. When he can't get what he wants he simply goes around Congress and has his agencies push his agenda 'into law'. The EPA greenhouse gas regulations for instance.

Obama has broken laws in redistribution schemes and trampled the Constitution.
He has his agencies deciding which laws they will and will not enforce.

What he has done for unbiased redress, common sense, and standing in his Socialist Supreme Court appointments will make the 9th Circuit look conservative.

He has been instrumental in organizing the corruption of the voting process for decades.
He has gangsterized the caucus and moves to change the electoral college.
He has taught that Corporations and Capitalists are the evil problem and a 2200 page socialized controlled financial market coup is the answer.

He has shoved a tyrannical socialist medical system down our throats rather than having any real concern for "reforming" insurance companies practices.
I have yet, in nearly 6 decades, to receive a letter telling me to BUY our insurance, pay us a fine, or go to jail, son.
The health care Monopoly Manifesto was deliberately written to eliminate free market medicine and any possibility of your premiums lowering by taxing each industry right out of business - using the employers capitalist instincts to save in 'costs' this Marxist has manipulated the tiny step 'means' to produce his long term 'ends'.
Thus the "you can keep your plan" is a deliberate lie when your plan can not compete with involuntary government plans.

Obama's main transformations are nearly complete. As Pelosi has said - "If the gate is closed, we will go over the fence. If the fence is too high, we will pole vault in. If that doesn't work, we will parachute."
No matter what YOU want we will shove it down your neck because we represent the "Political CLASS" and not You.

Already knowing that they may lose power in November these progressives are reportedly engineering a Lame Duck session in December to use ousted Dems to push through the balance of the Obama regimes take over - such as 'necessarily skyrocketing' costs of Cap n Trade - (Have you ever wondered why it's 'necessary'?)
And it's said (before the elections hint-hint) they will slam through Immigration Amnesty before the borders are secured.
Now that is a plan that should keep a few million more from coming across in droves to qualify,eh?

Obama used 23 million taxpayer dollars to fund a foreign nations get out the VOTE YES in Kenya's Constitution transformation - whose constitutional change agenda was to take that country to pro-communist, pro abortion, and institute Sharia law.
The Obama funded spread the Yes vote won.

Obama's fathers communist dreams are being fulfilled.

Obama and the Dodd-Franks crew have continued policies to bankrupt our country and when the people fall to their knees they will turn to the government to save them...much like Stalin and the plucked chicken scenario...just as we beg for 2 years now for any deregulation and tax reliefs to enable businesses to be ABLE to function so we can get work - to pay for health care we still won't be able to afford.

Obama's individual salvation is a Marxist collective salvation whose destructive tentacles have spread it's mechanics and deposited radicalized minions to every branch of our Countries engine to insure such servitude, gratefulness and success. In their view we're plucked.

Ironic that the community organizer, who agitated poor peoples sores of discontent for power, and whose manufactured enemy was the government, is now itself the government who controls, censors, and labels with ridicule any agitated peoples grievances - from a golf course.

"Power is not a means, it is an end" - socialist George Orwell

In the Obama's "world as it should be" teleprompter - He's done his job.

The problem for Obama is that we are slowly but surely winning, and IMO, Obama is far to lazy to win his transformational War against Americans.

Those poll numbers, above, show that People of NO are Not alone in disagreement with Obama policy - if not ideology.

We must begin in November to put Representatives in place who reflect those principled poll views above for real change...Remove- Replace- Repeal- Restore.

It is Washington that needs to be transformed- Not America.

Bankrupting America: 3.2 MILLION for Turtle Tunnels - For the Literate amoung them

REAL or FAKE?


"Funded By: American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, Barack Obama, President."

Have our politicians gone insane or are they deliberately trying to bankrupt our country?
Two point six million dollars to train Chinese prostitutes, IN CHINA, to drink responsibly?

This stimulus Bill that was passed is just jam packed with frivolous bankrupting lunacy.

Cocaine Snorting Monkeys get 71k to a reported $144,541 bucks?
I read that Obama's people tell us that the chimps glutamate system - could teach us something about human addiction.
Dang if that shared teachable moment shouldn't at least create jobs in Obama's House of Addictive Disordered Spenders Caucus when hooked up to a PET scan.

We better hope the stimulated monkeys don't escape and tear down the forty-one $400,000 squirrel bridges to somewhere in Arizona!
Then there's $1.9 million to califurnyah to capture and photo ants in Southwest Indian Ocean Islands and east Africa-
Geeesh send someone over yonder a leftover chicken bone and you'll have all the ants and photos you need overnight. Two million bucks?

The list of waste just keeps getting bigger - 3.2 million for a Florida Turtle tunnel?

Your Tax Dollars at Work.

Someone in Washington needs to put a stop to the balance of the Stimulus Bill being wasted and reduce our deficit with the 340 billion not yet used & abused.

IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

Mr. PRICE of Georgia submitted the following resolution; which was referred
to the Committee on _________________

RESOLUTION


Pledging not to assemble on or between the dates of November 2, 2010 and January 3, 2011, except in the case
of an unforeseen, sudden emergency requiring immediate action from Congress.

Whereas the 111th Congress has failed in its promise to be
the most open Congress in history, but has instead lost
the public’s trust by engaging in unprecedented political
procedures to advance a partisan agenda;

Whereas on January 18, 2006, House Minority Leader
Nancy Pelosi stated in prepared remarks, ‘‘Democrats
are leading the effort to turn the most closed, corrupt
Congress in history into the most open and honest Congress in history.’’;

Whereas on November 7, 2006, House Minority Leader
Nancy Pelosi stated, ‘‘The American people voted to restore integrity and honesty in Washington, D.C., and the
Democrats intend to lead the most honest, most open,
and most ethical Congress in history.’’;

Whereas on November 16, 2006, incoming House Speaker
Nancy Pelosi stated, ‘‘This leadership team will create
the most honest, most open, and most ethical Congress
in history.’’;

Whereas on December 6, 2006, incoming House Speaker
Nancy Pelosi stated, ‘‘We promised the American people
that we would have the most honest and open Government and we will.’’;

Whereas incoming Majority Whip Clyburn stated on December 8, 2006 that, ‘‘Democrats will exercise better leadership in the new Congress and work to raise the standard
of ethics in this body’’;

Whereas Speaker Pelosi spoke of individual Member’s ethics
on January 31, 2007 when she stated, ‘‘These strong
[ethics] rules are significant steps toward honest leadership; enforcing these rules is critical to ensuring every
Member of Congress lives up to the highest ethical standard’’;

Whereas on January 5, 2010, while at a press conference
during the health care debate, Speaker Pelosi stated,
‘‘There has never been a more open process for any legislation’’;

Whereas this statement was reiterated by the Speaker while
at a press conference on February 26, 2010, when a reporter prefaced a question about Rangel by noting that
Speaker Pelosi had promised to run the ‘‘most ethical
and honest Congress in history’’ she interrupted him to
say: ‘‘And we are.’’;

Whereas more bills were considered under closed rules, 64
total, in the 110th Congress under Democrat control,
than in the previous Congress, 49, under Republican control;

Whereas fewer bills were considered under open rules, 10
total, in the 110th Congress under Democrat control,
than in the previous Congress, 22, under Republican control;

Whereas zero bills have been considered so far in the 111th
Congress under an open rule;

Whereas 26 bills have been considered so far in the 111th
Congress under a closed rule, under Democrat control;

Whereas this Congress is the highest spending Congress in
United States history;

Whereas this Congress has presided over the two highest
budget deficits in United States history at a time when
the public debt is higher than at any other time in history;

Whereas this Congress began its mortgage of the Nation’s future with a ‘‘stimulus’’ package costing $1.1 trillion that
failed to lower unemployment, spur economic growth, or
actually address the needs of struggling American business and families;

Whereas this Congress continued its free-flowing spending
with an increase of $72.4 billion in nonemergency discretionary spending in fiscal year 2009 to reach a total
spending level of $1.01 trillion for the first time in
United States history;

Whereas this Congress approved a budget resolution in 2009
that proposed the six largest nominal deficits in American history and included tax increases of $423 billion
during a period of sustained high unemployment;

Whereas this Congress disregarded the needs and opinions of
everyday Americans by passing a national energy tax bill
that would increase costs on nearly every aspect of American lives by up to $3,000 per year, eliminate millions of
jobs, reduce workers’ income, and devastate economic
growth;

Whereas this Congress disregarded the needs and opinions of
everyday Americans by passing a massive Government
takeover of health care that will force millions of Americans from their health insurance plans, increase premiums and costs for individuals and employers, raise
taxes by $569.2 billion, and fund abortions—at a cost of
$2.64 trillion over the first ten years of full implementation;

Whereas this Congress nationalized the student loan industry
with a potential cost of 30,000 private sector jobs and
$50.1 billion over ten years;

Whereas this Congress passed the DISCLOSE Act in violation of the first amendment, hindering citizens associations’ and corporations’ free speech while leaving all
unions exempt from many of the new requirements, in
order to try and influence the outcome of 2010 elections;

Whereas in spite of House Budget Committee Chairman’s
2006 statement that ‘‘if you can’t budget, you can’t govern’’, the Democrat leadership has failed to introduce a
budget resolution in 2010 as mandated by law, but instead self-executed a ‘‘deeming resolution’’ that increases
nonemergency discretionary spending in fiscal year 2011
by $30 billion to $1.121 trillion, setting another new
record for the highest level in United States history;

Whereas this Congress has failed Main Street through passage of a financial system takeover that fails to end the
moral hazard of too-big-to-fail, does not address the
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac behemoths, and creates numerous new boards, councils, and positions with unconstitutionally broad authorities that will interfere with the
creation of wealth and jobs;

Whereas this Congress has wasted taxpayer funds on an unnecessary and unconstitutional auto industry bailout, a
‘‘cash for clunkers’’ program, a home remodification program (‘‘cash for caulkers’’), and countless other pork
barrel projects while allowing the public debt to reach its
highest level in United States history;

Whereas Democrats have recently insinuated that significant
legislative matters would deliberately not be addressed
during the 111th Congress until after the midterm elections in November 2010;

Whereas the New York Times reported on June 19, 2010
that, ‘‘For all the focus on the historic federal rescue of
the banking industry, it is the government’s decision to
seize Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac in September 2008
that is likely to cost taxpayers the most money. ... Republicans want to sever ties with Fannie and Freddie once
the crisis abates. The Obama administration and Congressional Democrats have insisted on postponing the argument until after the midterm elections.’’;

Whereas the Washington Times reported on June 22, 2010
that House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer stated, ‘‘a
budget, which sets out binding one-year targets and a
multiyear plan, is useless this year because Congress has
shunted key questions about deficits to the independent
debt commission created by President Obama, which is
due to report back at the end of this year.’’;

Whereas the Hill reported on June 24, 2010 that Senator
Tom Harkin, a Democrat from Iowa, suggested that
Democrats ‘‘might attempt to move ‘card-check’ legislation this year, perhaps during a lame-duck session. ... ‘A
lot of things can happen in a lame-duck session, too,’ he
said in reference to EFCA.’’;

Whereas the New York Times published an article on June
28, 2010 titled ‘‘Lame-Duck Session Emerges as Possibility for Climate Bill Conference’’ that declares ‘‘many
expect the final energy or climate bill to be worked out
during the lame-duck session between the November election and the start of the new Congress in January.’’;

Whereas the Hill reported on July 1, 2010 that ‘‘Democratic
leaders are likely to punt the task of renewing Bush-era
tax cuts until after the election. Voters in November’s
midterms will thus be left without a clear idea of their
future tax rates when they go to the polls.’’;

Whereas the Wall Street Journal reported on July 13, 2010
that, ‘‘there have been signs in recent weeks that party
leaders are planning an ambitious, lame-duck session to
muscle through bills in December they don’t want to defend before November. Retiring or defeated members of
Congress would then be able to vote for sweeping legislation without any fear of voter retaliation.’’;

Whereas the Hill reported on July 27, 2010 that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said, at the recent Netroots
Nation conference of liberal bloggers, in reference to
Democrats’ unfinished priorities, ‘‘We’re going to have to
have a lame duck session, so we’re not giving up.’’;

Whereas the Hill reported in the same piece on July 27,
2010 that the lame duck session will include priorities
such as ‘‘comprehensive immigration reform, climate
change legislation and a whole host of other issues’’;

Whereas the Declaration of Independence notes that governments ‘‘[derive] their just powers from the consent of the
governed’’;

Whereas the American people have expressed their loss of
confidence through self-organized and self-funded taxpayer marches on Washington, at countless ‘‘tea party’’
events, at town halls and speeches, and with numerous
letters, emails, and phone calls to their elected representatives;

Whereas a reconvening of Congress between the regularly
scheduled Federal election in November and the start of
the next session of Congress is known as a ‘‘lame-duck
session of Congress’’;

Whereas the Democrat majority has all-but-announced plans
to use any ‘‘lame-duck Congress’’ to advance currently
unattainable, partisan policies that are widely unpopular
with the American people or that further increase the national debt against the will of most Americans;

Whereas any such action would be a repudiation of the American people’s expressed will and would not comport with
the Democrats’ public statements promising transparency
and accountability; and

Whereas under the leadership of Speaker Pelosi and the
Democrat majority, and largely due to the current trends
of Government expansion and freedom retrenchment, the
American people have lost confidence with their elected
officials, and that faith must be restored: Now, therefore
be it
1 Resolved, That the House of Representatives—
2 (1) reaffirms the principle expressed in the
3 Declaration of Independence that governments ‘‘[de
4 rive] their just powers from the consent of the gov

6 (2) recognizes the fundamental importance of
7 trust existing between the American people and their
8 elected officials;
9 (3) confirms that adhering to the will of the
10 people is imperative to upholding public trust;
11 (4) states that the American people deserve to
12 know where their current elected officials stand on
13 key legislative issues before Election Day;
14 (5) states that delaying controversial, unpopular
15 votes until after the election gives false impressions
16 to voters and deliberately hides the true intentions
17 of the majority, while denying voters the ability to
18 make fully informed choices on Election Day; and

The Dem's and their Leaders have ignored the will of the majority of America for the last 18 months.
The "consent of the governed" has been rejected.
While some positioned themselves for sweetheart deals, others were bribed, and still others pretended to balk at moving to the left (when their blue-dog districts protested) so as not to upset their own chances of re-elections. Yet in the end they all folded to corruption and deceit while blaming the Republicans for obstruction. The time consuming positioning of their own self-interests and bartering with the Chicago machine came before the best interests of the Country.

Come November there is expected to be a reckoning removing the people who have traded our trust in for slavery to government, corralled freedoms, dwindling liberties, and personal abuse of power.
Already they speak of, and plan for, a Lame Duck Succession - ignoring those who remove their governing power in November - and in a last ditch effort to further shove progressive policy down our throats these post rejected Dem's are conspiring to cast votes in December to further the Obama's socialist goals after the November elections.

Senator Harry Reid(D) has already admitted this manipulation may be employed to bypass further the will of the peoples. "We're going to have to have a lame duck session, so we're not giving up."

Mr. Price's intentions with this Bill are great. But other than exposing what the Dem's have planned should they lose the House and/or Senate - I'd bet a 6 pak that they aren't going to make this pledge.

December looks to be as important as November for us.


On Tuesday, August 10, the U.S. House will vote on this legislation that would stop a Lame Duck session by prohibiting Congress from meeting between November 2 and January 3.

Pass IT to See what's in IT: Your New HEALTH CARE SYSTEM BEING REVEALED

A partial look at what NOW stands between you and your Doctor - don't say we didn't try to warn you.




[ Congressman Kevin Brady 8th district of Texas ]


AMERICA'S NEW HEALTH CARE SYSTEM REVEALED
UPDATED CHART SHOWS OBAMACARE'S BEWILDERING COMPLEXITY

Washington, D.C. - Four months after U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi famously declared "We have to pass the bill so you can find out what’s in it,"a congressional panel has released the first chart illustrating the 2,801 page health care law President Obama signed into law in March.

Developed by the Joint Economic Committee minority, led by U.S Senator Sam Brownback of Kansas and Rep. Kevin Brady of Texas, the detailed organization chart displays a bewildering array of new government agencies, regulations and mandates.

"For Americans, as well as Congressional Democrats who didn’t bother to read the bill, this first look at the final health care law confirms what many fear, that reform morphed into a monstrosity of new bureaucracies, mandates, taxes and rationing that will drive up health care costs, hurt seniors and force our most intimate health care choices into the hands of Washington bureaucrats,"said Brady, the committee’s senior House Republican. "If this is what passes for health care reform in America, then God help us all."

Brownback, the committee’s ranking member, added, "This updated chart illustrates the overwhelming expansion of government control over health choices and the bewildering complexity facing everyone affected by this law. It doesn’t take long to see how the recently signed health care bill causes a hugely expensive and explosive expansion of federal control over health care. Personal choices that should be between a doctor and a patient will quickly be strangled in a never ending web of bureaucracy."

Senate Steering Committee Chairman Jim DeMint (R-South Carolina) called Obamacare "a bureaucratic nightmare. The Democrats’ takeover of health care creates a byzantine network of 159 new federal programs and bureaucracies to make decisions that should be between just the patient and their doctor. It should concern everyone that at the center of this regulatory web is the new CMS chief, Donald Berwick, who has championed rationing and European socialized medicine. Americans were rightly outraged that this big government bill was rushed through Congress before anyone read or fully understood the bill’s consequences. Republicans will fight to repeal this reckless takeover and to ensure health care freedom to American families."

In addition to capturing the massive expansion of government and the overwhelming complexity of new regulations and taxes, the chart portrays:

$569 billion in higher taxes;
$529 billion in cuts to Medicare;
swelling of the ranks of Medicaid by 16 million;
17 major insurance mandates; and
the creation of two new bureaucracies with powers to impose future rationing: the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute and the Independent Payments Advisory Board.
Brady admits committee analysts could not fit the entire health care bill on one chart. "This portrays only about one-third of the complexity of the final bill. It’s actually worse than this."

Delaware's Christine O’Donnell: A Citizen's politician?



Running for the Delaware Senate seat against Cap & Trade Mike Castle (the liberal voting Republican) is Christine O’Donnell ( a reported common sense conservative.)


If you want someone who embraces what the Founding Fathers envisioned, a straight shooting, qualified citizen-politician to go to Washington and serve, then I hope to earn your support. -- Christine O’Donnell


We all know how a single politician (like a Snowe or a Collins) thousands of miles away can help shove down our throats unwanted 'changes' even when they do not represent us.

If we are to ever restore our country from insanity and dependence to common sense and independence then we must begin by paying more attention to who is being elected elsewhere also and helping to get people who represent our founding values elected.

People who are going to fight Obama's socialist machine and believe in Capital free markets. People who believe in limited Government. People who listen to the overwhelming will of the people. People who's 'individual freedom' isn't subject to collective salvation and ear marked entitlement poll numbers. People who won't burden, tax and regulate so excessively that you fall to your dependent knees begging to be saved and given relief.
People who believe in, and abide by, the Constitution and don't try every trick available to bypass it. People who not only represent what is best for their State but for the Country.

I don't know a lot about Christine O’Donnell yet - I am still reading and watching- but from what I have heard so far on camera she sounds to be just such a "people"...


Thanks Eric Odom - The Activist Traveler - for some heads up information on Christine.

Kagan Confirmed: The Usual Suspect Allies Come through for the Progressive Agenda

Once again it is Collins, Snowe, Graham, and self interest turn-coat Specter who aid and abet the Obama transformation of our republic.

In a vote of 63 Yea and 37 Nay - Elena Kagan was confirmed to The U.S. Supreme Court today.

Did you listen to Harry Reid's lil speech on Kagan and his vote of Yes?
(I'll have to wait to find a transcript) What I heard him say was how great Kagen will be for progressive advancement - 'the people vs Corporations'? - (more accuracy to be added when I get text) ... Reid actually revealed exactly who Kagen is and what they can expect of her (biased) voting future.

Kagan is anti- speech, anti- military, pro socialism and International & Shiria law, and this is the best Obama can come up with? Or mearly the best for his fundamental transformation...

This appointment is another "party within a party" Allied cog in fast tracking to a New Party ObamaLand reConstitution of "unequal distributive justice" and a major blockade to any Repeal Replace and Reform when the majority of American cases of resistance to unconstitutional mandates come before this activist - infiltrated - Supreme Court.

As seven million voters (why even vote??) in California have discovered a vote of ONE can, and has, overturned what the PEOPLE believe is best for them and their society. Again and Again these liberal federal judges, like the one in Arizona, ignore and override the will of the people, and even the Nation, and impose their own radical opinion.

Ironic that these progressives who fight so hard to change our republic into a 'democracy' - and work so hard to strip family and individualism into a societal collective of government controlled given liberties - ignore a collective individual majority vote when it suits their own agenda.

Thanks to some like Collins, Snowe, Graham, Lugar, Gregg, Specter, and consistently Lieberman, the Obama 'collective salvation' transformation has in place the radical Marxist management to proceed and the judges in place at every level to repel any obstruction of objection to this Obama "Dreams of my Father - and the Kenyan communist "change" manifesto of Papa O.

This support of the few is why Obama thinks he 'still has the keys' even if the Republicans get back on the pavement. The chess pieces are in place to check those who don't conform willingly.

Kagan should never have been confirmed; but her sober dreams of a rebirth of the 'left of liberalism' is on the way to our Supreme Court to make sure Obama's more-perfect historically failed-utopia is not threatened by American lawsuits.

Collins, Snowe, Graham, Specter, have consistently made it a much more difficult task to stop this Obama Regime no matter How Many of these politicians we replace in November.
And now this!
These transformational Newest Deal enablers - have not protected and preserved our Constitution nor defended we the people being removed from it.

They are still not listening - or caring.

Replace them we must. Repeal we must. Reform we must.
We must go on fighting for our individual freedoms of CHOICE (peacefully) and stopping Obama's usurpation of it.

We must get our VOTE back and make it count for something.

Stand up like they did in Missouri and tell 'em to stuff their seizure of our liberty and independence.
Do not let Missouri and Arizona and Virginia stand alone. Together we can take this country back from this socialist machine in pursuit of their transformation of America and restore the foundations of Old Glory back into the care of people who love America.
