You Don't Know What You've Got Till Its Gone

The more I read about Ronald Reagan, the more I realize that this was a man that understood how precious and singularly unique the United States of America is, or should be. He understood very well what we have and and the responsibility we as Americans share to keep liberties fought and died for, for our our children and their children.

With the events of the past week, I have to ask; are Americans today made of the "what have you done for me lately crowd", or are we smart enough not to let Paradise Be Paved Over for a parking lot? One has to wonder.

I had the opportunity to live in Boston for a few years back in the roaring 90's and found the history there utterly amazing. Everywhere you looked the history of our country was right in front of your eyes. If you have never spent a 4th of July in Boston, you have not experienced a true July 4th celebration.

In Boston, you can tour Old Iron Side, retrace the march from Lexington to Concord where the "Shot Heard Around The World" was fired, stand in the very spot where the Boston Tea Party, or Boston Massacre unfolded. Boston is truly the cradle of our country. Every American should take the time to visit Boston.

Like most places though, people that live there seem to take all the history around them for granted. I bet you would be amazed at how many people born and raised in Boston have never walked the red line tour and seen where Paul Revere lived, or toured Old Iron Side, or retraced the march from Lexington to Concord. Why, because they grew up with it and take it for granted. Just like you and I take for granted the very liberty our forefathers that fought and died for in Boston during the birth of our country.

The brave men and women of our countries founding fought against tyranny, for a liberty they knew was endowed by our creator. They gave their lives to create a country where the government answers to the people. Our founders framed a Constitution to put limits on government to protect the people from the inevitable abuse of power that stems from those in control of government. Obama Care is a direct assault to those principles.

Now is the time to stand up, look around, take inventory of all those precious liberties you may have taken for granted for your entire life. Not in an effort to mourn them when they are gone, but to protect them for yourself and those that you love. Obama Care should not serve as the end of our liberty , but rather, it should serve as the resurrection of those traits that make each one of us uniquely American. Some may call it pride, some may call it selfishness. I call it a sense of liberty and individualism that is bred into each and every one of us. It is what makes us uniquely American. I don't know about you but I am mad as hell and I am not going to take this lying down. I can only hope that each of you feel the same way.

We can protest, we can march, we can write letters, we can call into talk radio shows, or we can whine about what progressive liberals bestowed upon us this past weekend. All of that is fine. What we really must do is vote every single Democrat out of office in November and repeal the Obama Health Care Bill. The power is in our hands. We just have to use it. I don't know about you, but I kind of like the America I grew up in and I want it back!

It's The Vote That Counts

Literally thousands of "Tea Parties" held all around the country, hundreds of thousands march on Washington DC, virtually every legitimate poll illustrated a plurality of Americans opposed Obama Care. This was a grass roots effort like never before, but to what avail?

Democrats in Washington DC. ignore their constituents and pass legislation that every American that holds our Constitutional liberties dear believe is a move that mere words can not describe.

So was this effort a gigantic waste of time? I don't think so and neither should you. There is no doubt that we will hear those that question the Tea Parties ability to stay focused until November, that the grass roots movement we witnessed in 2009 will lose intensity, that like the liberties swiped away with the passage of Obama Care, we will let ourselves be tread upon like Progressive Liberals tread upon the Constitution. If Tea Parties fade this summer without another gigantic march on Washington, we will be presumed D.O.A.

The only march that counts now is the march to the polls in November. If you want to coordinate a march, want to get folks riled up to take action, do it for the November Elections because it is the Vote That Counts.

There are 253 Democrats in the United States House Of Representatives, 219 voted for Obama Care. If you want to stage a protest that makes a difference, protest in November by voting every single Democrat that Voted for Obama Care out of office! There are 59 Democrats in the United States Senate, 18 are up for Election in November; replace every single one with a Republican! The right to protest through voting is one right Progressive Liberals have not taken away...yet. Make sure they don't.

Its my personal opinion is that the talking heads on TV and Radio continually underestimate the American People. All I heard on the Monday after Obama Care was passed was that repeal of the bill would be virtually impossible, that the best chance to override it would be through the courts. Why, because analysts don't believe we can take back enough seats in Congress to override a Presidential Veto. If the courts overrule Obama Care, great, if not don't give up. The power still resides with the people, we just have to use it in November.

What Now?

Now that Democrats have actually passed the Health Care Takeover Bill; what do we do now? If this bill survives all the legal challenges it will surely receive, Clearly we have to repeal the bill!

Today there are 253 Democrats and 178 Republicans in the United States House of Representatives. Conservatives need a super majority of 290 members to overrule a Presidential Veto. So, we need a minimum net gain of 112 seats in the House in the 2010 elections to do what needs to be done. Actually all 217 Democrats that voted for this abomination of a bill should be voted out of office this November!

The Senate is a different story, there are 18 Republican and 18 Democratic Senators up for reelection in 2010, why not gain all 18 seats? Now that would only give Republicans 59 seats when we need 67 to override a Presidential Veto, but can you imagine the state of mind of Democrats if they lost in excess of 112 seats in the House and all 18 seats at risk in the Senate? I believe it would be much easier to convince 8 Senators to vote to repeal than the 219 Democrats in the House that voted for this unbelievable health care take over!

Americans must not let this bill stand!!!!

Why We Need A "Reagan Republican" For President

Well, this is just one reason. Check out this Ronald Reagan Quote from October 27, 1964:

"Are you willing to spend time studying the issues, making yourself aware, and then conveying that information to family and friends? Will you resist the temptation to get a government handout for your community? Realize that the doctor's fight against socialized medicine is your fight. We can't socialize the doctors without socializing the patients. Recognize that government invasion of public power is eventually an assault upon your own business. If some among you fear taking a stand because you are afraid of reprisals from customers, clients, or even government, recognize that you are just feeding the crocodile hoping he'll eat you last.”

In 1964 Ronald Reagan was able to articulate the dangers of Socialized Medicine much better than most can today. For those that believe health care insurance rates should be between the insured and the insurer, and that the government's involvement should be limited to and directed towards creating an environment where the laws of supply and demand coupled with a healthy dose of competition reign should look back and study Ronald Reagan.

Obama, Pelosi, Reid Are You Listening.

"Ours was the first revolution in the history of mankind that truly reversed the course of government, and with three little words: 'We the people.' 'We the people' tell the government what to do, it doesn't tell us. 'We the people' are the driver, the government is the car. And we decide where it should go, and by what route, and how fast. Almost all the world's constitutions are documents in which governments tell the people what their privileges are. Our Constitution is a document in which 'We the people' tell the government what it is allowed to do. 'We the people' are free. This belief has been the underlying basis for everything I've tried to do these past eight years".

Ronald Reagan.

Enough Said.

Join The Tax Revolt

I just wanted to speak to you about something from the Internal
Revenue Code. It is the last sentence of section 509A of the code
and it reads: 'For purposes of paragraph 3, an organization described
in paragraph 2 shall be deemed to include an organization described
in section 501C-4, 5, or 6, which would be described in paragraph 2
if it were an organization described in section 501C-3.' And that's
just one sentence out of those fifty-seven feet of books.

Ronald Reagan.

President Ronald Reagan Got it, on so many levels, especially when it came to Taxes. He understood that taxes were governments way of retaining power over "We The People".
