September 12th, 2009: Will you be there?

I’m contently checking out websites for updated information, so I see a lot of junk during the day. So I must admit, when I watched the video below regarding the upcoming protest in Washington D.C., I didn’t need that second cup of coffee at 8 o’clock in the morning. If you are going to Washington on September 12th, wave your flag with a little more vigor for me. If your not going, send your Congressperson an email or give’em a call to let them know you are there in spirit.


Where are the Health Care Town Halls in Alabama?

Alabama State Sovereignty Bill Introduced

The government’s attempt to take over health care is on the forefront of everyone’s thoughts right now, but what else can we do besides attend town halls, email, and make telephone calls? Well, several states have been busy passing 10th Amendment legislation in order to stop the government from interfering with State’s Rights. The 10th Amendment states, “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.” During the last session, Alabama House Representative Mac Gipson of Prattville, introduced HJR 403 to address Alabama’s rights under the 10th Amendment. Since they are currently in a special session, Gipson reintroduced it, and its new number is HJR 10 (AL State Sovereignty Bill). In short, since Health Care is not stated in the Constitution, it is up to Alabama to determine whether we have a socialized health care plan. Read the bill on Dale Jackson’s Blog.

Contact Montgomery and let them know you what this voted on pronto.

Union Members Attack Conservatives at Town Halls

Lead by members of Services Employee International Union (SEIU), conservative voices were met with force at town halls in Tampa and St. Louis. This came days after deputy chief of staff Jim Messina told Democrats “If you get hit, we will punch back twice as hard,”. Watch the videos below, it’s disgusting.
