Looks Like the “Fix” Is In, Action Alert NOW

Obamacare

At a place called Blair House, the President’s official guest quarters across the street from the White House, Barack Obama played host to a select small group of legislators to find “common ground” for passage of a healthcare reform bill. Well, that was the White House’s version, anyway.

As we now know, that’s not what happened.  In reality, the so-called “summit” was an elaborate magic show, complete with sleight of hand, illusion and elaborate misdirection,all designed to resuscitate the once-thought-dead ObamaCare bill. Did you really think they’d cave so “easily”? Certainly they will not. We’ve held the line this long, we can’t let them win now!

This political theater took place in the space of seven and a half hours.  The President had already destroyed the credibility of the meeting on Monday by publishing his Trillion Dollar plan that looks, coincidentally, a whole lot like the discredited Senate version of ObamaCare -including abortion funding!

We were expected to believe that legislators could deal with over two thousand pages of a bill that amounts to a government takeover of an estimated 16% of our economy in just a few hours! Unbelievable!

Of course, the President never had any intention of finding “common ground.”  In fact, the invitation to the summit came with a PS:  If you don’t go along with me, I have “reconciliation” ready in the wings!

In other words, “the fix was in.” And from what we can see, this eleventh-hour attempt to ram socialized medicine down the throats of the American people is more dangerous than
any that has gone before.

There was more to this “Hail Mary” than met the eye. There was an even more telling activity going on behind the scenes this week. Utilizing the same technologies and strategies that propelled him into office, Obama’s cohorts launched “One Million Voices for Healthcare Reform: A Virtual March on Washington.”

This scheme was almost as elaborate as its title. Here are statements from its organizers:

“The nation’s leading progressive [read, radical left] organizations are joining forces for A Virtual March on
Washington” to send Congress one million messages urging action on health care reform. This is designed to be the single largest action yet in the health care fight.”

“The Virtual March on Washington: A Million Voices for Change” campaign is bringing together some of the largest progressive organizations in the nation including, MoveOn.org Political Action, Progressive Congress Action Fund, Health Care for America Now (HCAN), and Service Employees International
Union (SEIU)….

President Obama, who has failed to effectively govern throughout his first year in office, has re-hired his
campaign staff to try to regain the popularity he enjoyed while running for office!

The highly orchestrated political theater we witnessed on Thursday would be merely pathetic if it wasn’t such a dangerous and dishonest abuse of presidential power.

We must NOT cave in to this manipulation!

We must act NOW to counter this outlandish strategy. The next few weeks will be crucial as members of Congress are being pressured to accept the Obama/Reid/Pelosi reconciliation plan.  We cannot allow the only messages Congress hears to be from the “Obama for President 2012″ crowd!

The pressure is mounting as ultra-liberal activists redouble the use of corrupt “Chicago-Style” politics of coercion and bribery that have so dramatically overshadowed Capitol Hill for the last year.

Here’s just one measure of their audacity: When the American people cried, “Foul!” over the Cornhusker Kickback, the President then decided to extend the exorbitant bribe that bought Senator Ben Nelson to the ENTIRE SENATE!

Now, we have a sort of “Omnibus Kickback” on the table – all of it paid for by you and me, the hapless American taxpayers!

Amazingly, when Obama’s team heard the uproar over certain Senators getting bribes, they thought it was because all the other Senators wanted one, too!  What a low view of our nation this administration must have. This is outrageous!

CONTACT YOUR REPRESENTATIVES IN WASHINGTON, D.C. AND YOUR SENATORS AND TELL THEM NO GOVERNMENT-RUN HEALTHCARE! Tell your family, your friends and anyone else who may still have their head in the sand that they need to get off of the fence and take action NOW!

If anyone ever WONDERED WHY Tea Party Chapters MUST ENDORSE CANDIDATES and MUST KEEP THE PRESSURE ON OUR REPRESENTATIVES AND SENATORS, READING THIS SHOULD MAKE YOUR EYES BLEED AND THE LIGHT BULBS COME ON!  Time to take action, now.

In the Statehouse Today…

The House of Representatives has again passed approved legislation to ban money transfers between political action committees that make campaign contributions hard to transfer money from one PAC to another PAC.The House approved the bill 101-0. Rep. Jeff McLaughlin, D-Guntersville, has been proposing the PAC transfer ban in every legislative session since 2002. The House usually approves the bill without dissent, but it has never passed the Alabama Senate.

Events dating back to 2009 when contributions to Givhan’s ($8,100) was traced back to a PAC run by Steve Raby (now a candidate for the 5th Congressional seat in North Alabama), the Senate Majority PAC, may have helped push this legislation forward.  The incident mentioned has proven to be non-lethal to some as it was reported on February 2, 2010 in the Daily Home of Sylcacauga that the grand jury indicted BOE member (misdeanor charges stemming from failure to file campaign forms). City Schools Board Member Troy “Skip” Smithwick was indicated on two counts relating to campaign contributions by a Talladega County Grand Jury.

A spokesperson for the Talladega County Sheriff’s Department said Smithwick was charged on the previous Friday and released on a $5k bond. The two charges were failure to file annual reports and improper reporting of contributions. Both charges are Class B Misdemeanors under state law. Under state law, all candidates are required to submit their annual contribution reports no later than Jan. 31 of the following year. Smithwick’s final report was dated as received October 6, 2009 by the Secretary of State. Said Smithwick, “I made an honest mistake. All of the other things were reported on time.” Donations totalling approximately $52k had not been reported until October 6, 2009. The previous report filed in May, 2008 by Smithwick showed donations totally $253k.

The second charge stated Smithwick failed to report a contribution from a group named The Real Democrat Political Action Committee. The group claimed a $100,000 contribution was made to “Smithwick for School Board” in their annual report received January 2009.

Jyles Machem, head of the Huntsville-based PAC, said in October that his group did not contribute any funds to Smithwick’s campaign. “I had my folks go back and talk to the staff of Smithwick,” he said. “They were puzzled as we were. It turns out that what happened was the accountant reported it improperly. He’s correct in saying that he didn’t get any money from The Real Democrat PAC.”

Smithwick also denied receiving any money from the PAC.“The $100,000 was a clerical error,” Smithwick said. “As far as I know, I’m the first one to be prosecuting for not filling out the papers on time.” Smithwick had claimed on his reports a $100,000 contribution from another Huntsville-based group, called the Tennessee Valley PAC.

Both groups reported contributing $100,000 to the Smithwick campaign in May 2008, according to their annual reports. But an amended 2008 annual report from The Real Democrat, received Oct. 19, 2009, did not report any contribution to Smithwick.

Another apparent error appeared as both PACs claimed an $85,000 contribution to them in May from a group called the Senate Majority PAC. Senate Majority’s annual report showed only one $85,000 contribution being made, to The Real Democrat. Both Tennessee Valley and Senate Majority PAC reports have the signature of Steve Raby as the “Chairperson or Treasurer of Political Committee.” Both groups are also listed at the same address.

Reports submitted by Tennessee Valley and Senate Majority had the signature of Wilma Henson as the notary public. Wilma Henson’s name also appeared on reports from The Real Democrat PAC, as the chairperson or treasurer.

Smithwick said he believed the investigation was a “witch hunt.” He said he had spoken with someone from the Attorney General’s office about the matter in November.“He had the bank statements, the receipts and disbursements, the contributions and they were all tallied up,” he said. “The only thing, the law says you have got to file by the end of the year that the election was. I forgot about it, didn’t realize it. I filed the 10-day report, the 45-day report, the other report and then [missed] the final one.”

Betty Peters, the District 2 representative for the state BOE, made the official complaint regarding Smithwick to Attorney General Troy King.“This should be an example for all future candidates that the law has teeth and it will be enforced,” Peters said. “If somebody is going to be on the state school board making decisions affecting children and teachers, everybody makes mistakes but this is beyond a mistake.”

Questions had also been raised about a recent purchase of Smithwick’s, a recreational vehicle. Smithwick said he had paperwork that proved the purchase was made using his own funds.“It was paid for with my money,” he said. “I have the cancelled checks and everything. It doesn’t have a thing to do with this, not one thing. The only thing I didn’t do right was not filing that last report.”

Steve Raby, Democratic candidate for Congress in the 5th District of Alabama, managed the Senate Majority PAC, a big-money Democrat PAC  in Huntsville. The latest Annual Report (dated 01-31-2009)  at the time this issue broke, showed contributions from A-VOTE ($50,000) and TN Valley Citizens PAC ($24,000).

It is interesting to note here that when the Don Siegelman administration’s handling of state contracts came under scrutiny by lawmakers and prosecutors questioning why firms with ties to his friends and supporters received millions from no-bid state projects, the investigation revealed that three firms were involved; Tech Providers Inc. and COLSA Corp., hired Siegelman’s political consultants. A third, Digital One Services Inc., owned by a former lobbying colleague of state Finance Director Henry Mabry, state records show. COLSA Corp. of Huntsville received contracts totaling more than $2 million from DHR, state records show. COLSA hired as a consultant Stephen Raby, who was a top aide to former U.S. Sen. Howell Heflin.

Raby traveled with Siegelman for public appearances and was considered a top prospect to have helped run Siegelman’s campaign. COLSA contributed $10,000 to the lottery campaign in April 1999, campaign finance records show.COLSA’s Pat Dixon, who handled the company’s contracts never discussed the project. Efforts to reach consultant Raby for comment by news reporters about his work for COLSA when the story broke failed.

The much-touted Gambling Legislation never came up last week in the State Legislature. As Tim James pointed out in an interview last week with us, he felt the issue only had so much momentum. Evidently there weren’t enough votes to push it through the Senate, so it was delayed. Some say this could come up again this week. We shall see. On the agenda for Tuesday, February 23, the House will take up the Sunset legislation sponsored by Sunset Committee Vice-Chairman Howard Sanderford (Huntsville) These 14 bills must be dealt with Tuesday, under state statute. The matter should be handled rather quickly and attention will be turned to a backup special order calendar that was approved by the House Rules Committee last week.

Tim James’ New Ideas for Alabama

Posted on Feb 19, 2010

Tim James

Tim James is running for Governor of Alabama in the 2010 elections. Born in Opelika, James attended Auburn University where he earned his degree in Finance. Even though he is the son of a former Alabama Governor, James says, “I’m a total outsider to the system,” James said. “I’m the only businessman in this race with a career in building jobs.”

Dr. Don-Terry Veal, director of the Auburn University Center for Government Services, said James’ position as a business owner sets him apart from other candidates. It also puts him in an authoritative position on the economy, which, Veal said, is the number one issue plaguing Alabama voters.
“Tim James sees his business background and entrepreneur experience as a reason why he can lead the state to better economic days,” Veal said. Veal said James’ plan to spend tax dollars more efficiently, instead of raising taxes, will also appeal to voters. James is also pushing bio-fuels and wants Alabama to take the lead in developing green industry.“Clearly, I don’t think any agenda can go wrong with that,” Veal said. “Alabama has been tracking in that direction.”Veal likes James’ plan to promote existing small businesses.

Why does he want to be the Governor of Alabama? He explained very earnestly, “The United States is in the shape its in because a generation or so [my generation] did not involve themselves with government and were involved with their lives. Things were good. While this was happening, the federal government went off track. We have a massive debt load that our grandchildren and great-grandchildren can never hope to pay back. We have seen a moral slide in this country, as well. I want to work to help get it back on track.”

“A year ago, I was concerned and didn’t know if we would make it or not. But, I see in the United States of America signs of a great awakening occurring. We’re teetering on the edge right now. 2010 could be one of the most important election cycles since the 1860’s. We are either going to be a totally socialistic nation or we’re going to turn this thing around. “

“The problems we face here will not be solved overnight. What we must do is rebuild. Rarely does one change anything from the top to the bottom. Change must begin with us. It must begin with Alabama, at the state level. The Governor’s role has expanded because of what is happening between the federal government and the states. I want to work with other governors and light the fire of resistance to what we see occurring today. I would like to help build an effective Governor’s Coalition so that we can help push back Federal government.”

Mr. James was asked about the issue of the 10th Amendment and standing firm on State Rights. He said, “We already have a law on the books. Its not only a law, it defines the separation of powers between the state and federal government and outlines how power is delegated to each of the three branches of the federal government. It is called the Constitution.”

“The fact that so many Alabamians [as well as citizens of other states] are concerned about our state rights shows that people are paying attention. It creates an awareness that people are learning what the Constitution says and means to us.”

“Nothing we do can be accomplished over night. This decline we are seeing so profoundly began in the early 1960’s with the massive federalizing of the public education system. Prayer was taken out of the schools, we lost control at the local and the state level. It’s been all downhill from there. The federal government has no business in education. It is not their responsibility, it is the responsibility of parents, local and state leaders. I will personally say that the No Child Left Behind Act never accomplished what it was meant to do and should be dropped.”

One of the things Mr. James has made a priority is the education system in our state. He has several common-sense solutions to help improve our education system here. Among them, reading mentors for every child in Alabama who needs one. Tim will call it the “Alabama Reading Corps.” The goal is to fortify existing reading programs while empowering Alabama universities to develop and manage the college student mentors to help primary school children to read.

Tim James does have plans to help existing small businesses here in Alabama. During our interview James explained, “There isn’t an ‘easy fix’ to helping the struggling small businesses in Alabama. In this economy, we must support those businesses that drive our economy. I want to provide our existing small businesses a program so that they may receive incentives similar to what we offer in order to attract new businesses to Alabama. We must take care of our own first.” He outlined the following in regard to assistance with business:

“The message our State Government gives to small businesses should be a comfort. We are going to get our economic house in order. Right now, no one has confidence in our economy or in many cases, the future. Alabama is going to meet it’s budgetary obligations just as individuals do and just as the federal government should do. We are going to do just exactly as our businesses and citizens must do; live within our means. The last thing we should do is raise taxes, particularly on businesses. We can cut spending. This must be done in order to meet our budget. I want to provide tax incentives for small businesses that will enable them to stay in business and grow. Together, our state government, our businesses and citizens can ‘push back’ on regulations from the federal government that are costing our state a tremendous amount of money. We must not allow these expensive and harmful regulations and legislation to continue because they hurt our state in many ways.”

We asked Mr. James about the parental rights issue because those in power in Washington, D.C. Seem eager to sign UN Treaties that would, in fact, strip parental rights. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has stated on more than one occasion that the UN Treaty on Children would be signed. We discussed the Parental Rights Amendment now in the House of Representatives which was introduced by Rep.Peter Hoekstra (MN). Mr. James said that those in the federal government with the desire to give away our nation’s sovereignty is troubling.

He said parents having the right to raise their children according to their principles in the State of Alabama will be protected. He added, “and there will be no changes to our home schooling laws here in Alabama. Parents have the right to see that their children are educated and this will never change. Those parents who wish to dedicate themselves to teaching their children will continue to have that right.” He added, “I believe this move toward the UN isn’t good. We are not Europe, we are America and we are Americans. These things we see happening will lead to a one world government and that is everything our Constitution protects us from. A Governor can be alert and together with other Governors we can awaken a nation. Some Governors may not understand the sovereignty of our nation. The states must resist any action that takes our sovereignty and  invalidates our laws. “

Mr. James is very concerned about recent events surrounding elections in our state as well as events that have occurred across the country. “The integrity of elections is the cornerstone of America. Our election and voting system must be clean from top to bottom.”

Since gambling has been in the news so prominently, we asked him what he thought about the issue. “I feel gambling is a tax on the poor people. If we look at gambling, those prominent in that industry are Mississippi, New Jersey and Nevada. Their budget shortfalls are terrible; much worse than here in Alabama. Gambling has not helped those states financially. I believe the gambling issue is on shaky ground, it can only develop a certain level of weight.

“But, if Alabama voters want it, then a Constitutional Amendment has to be passed by a majority of the voters. The Governor never sees that as legislation on his desk. It is not up to me, it’s up to the voters of Alabama.”  We asked if he had received any money from that industry. “We have not received money from the gambling industry, in fact, if we receive any PAC money, we research to see what industries make up that PAC. I haven’t received much PAC money at all.”

One issue that has caused problems for every state in the union is potential further mandates on Alabama by the federal government, an attempt to force them they must add more to their budgets to cover health care costs. “Medicaid expenses in Alabama consumes 30% of the general fund. Every state Medicaid program should be tailored to the people of that particular state.”

“We can’t have a ‘one size fits all’ program. It just doesn’t work. Our Medicaid expenses are exploding and just one reason is fraud within the system. With unlimited prescriptions, it gives some a way to exploit the system. The expense of that is enormous. Some people will sniffle and run to the emergency room. We need to focus on early diagnosis and preventative medicine. A health savings account makes perfect sense to me, it’s there when a person really is sick and needs it. We must cut down on fraud in Medicaid.”

Tim James wants to serve as our next Governor. He says we must no raise taxes; but cut on the spending side instead. “Elect me, we will get our fiscal ‘house’ in order. We will live within our means and we will set the tone for the rest of the country. Alabama can be an example for the other states. Alabama can be a leader in this country. We will speak loudly against the policies coming out of Washington, D.C.”

The Making of an American Leader

Posted on Feb 15, 2010

Les Phillip copy

Les Phillip,at age six,had the opportunity to fly on an airplane. He decided he wanted to be a pilot right then.

The pilot of the airplane allowed young Les to play with the controls and look around at everything. He turned to the pilot and asked, “What does it take to be a pilot?” The pilot told him to excel in Math and Science;stay out of trouble; and,fly for one of the military services. Surely the pilot had no idea what an impression he had made on that young boy from Trinidad.

Phillip was on a course that would change his life forever. A man who came from another country, became a citizen and who served our country in the military, is a husband, a father and well-respected businessman. He has a unique and inspiring life story. This man is a candidate for Congress to represent the 5th District of Alabama. He has the passion for America to face the challenges as a U.S. Congressman. His life has prepared him for the job at hand.

When he was eight years old, his family immigrated to Baltimore, Maryland. He was accepted into a math and science high school. While he was there, he became convinced that he wanted to go into the Coast Guard instead of the military. But, was convinced by a teacher to go to the Naval Academy instead.

He says something that affected him profoundly is, “The Oath of Office I took when I put my hand up on July 7, 1981. There was no expiration date on that oath. Even at the age of 18, I realized it was the Constitution, not the man nor the office but that document I was protecting. I still take that oath seriously today.” Phillip understands the U.S. Constitution is not a “living, breathing document” as some try to depict it.

Says Phillip, “I have three daughters and I want them to live in the same type of country that enabled me to become everything I’ve become. The flag, the Constitution, and my Biblical beliefs are worth fighting for.”

During a recent interview, Phillip was asked how he would reconcile policies that are at odds with his faith. Phillip responded by saying, “I will research and study those topics. I know that in everything that I do, loving God with all of my heart, soul and mind and loving my neighbors as myself is foremost. My job is to love everyone the way God loves me. Crafting laws requires great thought and we must think of the people they affect. For instance,we can’t cut public assistance immediately to one who is dependent upon it. But, we need to start moving that person off programs that deny their ability to achieve their potential in life. When someone depends upon government programs, they have little chance to achieve all they can be. As Americans, we’re meant to always be achieving something. We are supposed to work. We should not enable people to sit and do nothing toward achieving their potential.

Les Phillip met his wife,while attending the Naval Academy. He served the U.S. Navy after graduation from the U.S. Naval Academy. At the age of 22,Phillip was in charge of guiding a $4.5 billion dollar aircraft carrier each night. His responsibility was for U.S. aircraft,ammunition,the carrier,and the lives of the men on that ship. He also served as a Navy helicopter pilot.

After military service,he began a career in the corporate world. Les also has been a small business owner. He understands what small businesses are to the economy. Most in Congress have no private sector experience, which clearly gives Phillip advantages on economic issues.

“We own a catering and cooking school in Madison, Alabama”, said Phillip. “Being able to provide a paycheck for someone,going through the process of developing a business, providing income for employees, meeting a budget, is something every small business owner understands. Small businesses need to be left with more money to spend. The more money they have to spend, the more they can help the economy. 46% of every dollar is borrowed money. We can’t fund programs we don’t need and then have obligations we cannot fund because we cannot afford them. We seem willing to give money to things we don’t need but not to the things that are for the general welfare of our country, which is Constitutional. The bottom line is people need to learn what that document [the Constitution] says and means.”

“A year ago, I was a retired military father. As I watched the State of the Union address, I saw more than one-half of the Congress cheering and clapping for socialist policies. I had fought to defend this from happening here in the United States. I looked in the mirror and asked myself what are YOU going to do about it?
I have benefited from the blessings of this country. There comes a point in life when we begin thinking about generations of others beyond ourselves. My life becomes less important and opportunities for others become more important,” said Phillip, explaining why he was running for office.

“President Ronald Reagan was a strong president,his foreign policy kept us safe. “When North Korea has launched a missile on every American Holiday this year, why are we responding by cutting our funding for defense? Reagan would have sent two carriers and a couple of Tomahawks to decimate their sites. If we are stronger and faster, we don’t let ourselves be bullied. The capability means nothing if the other guys think we are not willing to use it.”

Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee has endorsed Les Phillip. He said of Phillip, “I believe he will be a future leader in the Republican Party for a long time to come…we need 434 more just like him in Congress”. Phillip said of the endorsement, “A Sr. Coordinator for Huck Pac in Alabama heard an interview I did on the radio. She introduced me to Governor Huckabee. After talking with him, we found that we had a lot of the same things happen to us as we were growing up. We have a similar worth ethic and belief system. It was a natural fit.”

Phillip says he plans to work for the people of his district by working with a group of like-minded individuals,according to the Constitution. “If we follow the Constitution, we can cut spending. That’s where the GOP made a mistake in the 1990’s, they had their list of things to accomplish and didn’t do it because they didn’t base it upon the Constitution, instead we became like Democrats. I believe 72 hours is too short a time period to read pending legislation. President Obama said it would be online for five days before action would be taken. We now have taxation without representation. They are trying to pass everything before Americans wise up. Why are they getting paid if they’re not representing the people they are paid to represent? It’s a joke. I think one problem is many Representatives and Senators don’t know the Constitution. This is what has gone wrong. Everything revolves around the Constitution and should be judged by the Constitution.”

“Both the Constitution and the Bible have been taken out of our schools. The government doesn’t want people knowing what their rights are and there are limits on government. I will be accountable to the people of my district. I took that oath to serve and protect and I’m willing to step up and do everything within my power to preserve America.”

Les Phillip represents what people outside of the United States always viewed Her as, the Land of Opportunity. He is proof that a person can achieve success without hand-outs or special favors if they work hard and take advantage of opportunities. He knows what is at stake here in our country if we do not follow the outline set forth by our founding fathers. Our Constitution brought success to our young country. It also has brought success to many Americans. He wants to fight for the America he knew.

Dr. Obama and Nurse Ratchet: At It Again

Rockwell Doctor
The Tea Party movement began a year ago. Look at how far we’ve come and what we’ve achieved. There is no doubt that the months ahead are going to be brutal. We have to fight political battles and fight against Organizing for America. I received a message yesterday that indicates members of Organizing for America plan to infiltrate the Tea Party movement to try to destroy it/us. The organization, Organizing For America, was originally Obama for America and it continues to function as a political machine used by Obama and his socialist friends.

Push back, Patriots.

We just entered the most dangerous time in the entire healthcare debate. Here’s why….
While President Obama is inviting Republicans to a so-called “bi-partisan” discussion on health care reform, Democrats are meeting behind closed doors almost daily to finalize their strategy to ram through ObamaCare without even one Republican vote! Nancy Pelosi said earlier this week that they had already “set the stage” to use budget reconciliation procedures to bypass the impact of the Scott Brown election and force ObamaCare through the Senate.

Here’s what she said about the “reconciliation strategy” that requires only 51 Senate votes: “It’s up to us to make sure the public knows that this is not extraordinary…it would be a reflection on us if we could not convince people that this is not an unusual place to go.” Not an “unusual place to go”? It’s an arrogant abuse of the clear will of the American people! And it’s pretty apparent this is exactly the place the Democrat leaders plan to go.

Of course, all this is being planned while the President is inviting Republicans to a televised event to supposedly discuss health care reform ideas! Clearly, the televised event is nothing more than a presidential power play… a smokescreen to distract the media and grassroots Americans from their real plan. Obama has no intention of backing down from his government takeover of healthcare. Any free-market ideas Republicans try to present will be ‘dead on arrival” – just as they have been for the past year. And all the while, Pelosi and Reid are putting the finishing touches on their strategy to pass ObamaCare!

The President is trying to gain the advantage by putting the opponents of ObamaCare on the defensive. And if he succeeds, we will be facing a total takeover of our healthcare system.The socialist leaders in Washington are “out of touch.” They think they can stage a televised meeting about open discussions while they work the backrooms of Capitol Hill to ram their bill through!

We need to have a going all-out to protest ObamaCare’s special perks, backroom deals, bribery and the scandalous way in which the process is being handled.

Once again, the health care reform process has been about as transparent as the blizzards that hit the nation’s capitol! Next week could be crucial as the Obama summit nears and members of Congress face intense pressure from both the White House and the Pelosi-Reid team. Call your Senators and Representatives TODAY. Tell them NO to Government Healthcare! They must be reminded that there is no compromise that is acceptable.  While you’re at it, call those lap dogs in the House of Representative as well. Remind them that they are at the end of their “leash”.

There are many training events scheduled for the coming months and I would like to provide that information here. These are listed by date, description and links are provided. Alabama Tea Party Network is not endorsing these, we are providing information for anyone who is interested.

We have added a calendar to our website here, and want to call our reader’s attention to this. There are many events planned for Tea Party events here in Alabama over the next several months as well as national events. These will all be listed, provided information is given to us.

Our purpose is to help keep Americans informed, both in our state and those outside of events relating to Tea Parties, candidates, issues and anything else related to the fight to take back our freedom and preserve our Constitution.

I want to share with you a blog site I came across and a particular post located at that site. Credit will be given at the end of the post. This is from Lee Doren’s website. For those who may not be familiar with Doren, he is a conservative who has appeared on the Glen Beck Program, Hannity, Fox News and has been instrumental in getting information out regarding legislation and events.

Breaking: TheTeaPartyIsOver.org = SEIU (Check the Money Trail)

by Lee Doren on January 29, 2010

I just came across a new website titled: http://www.TheTeaPartyIsOver.org

It is paid for by the American Public Policy Committee. Well, according to opensecrets.org, the two donors for American Public Policy Committee this year are Patriot Majority and Patriot Majority West.

However, according to opensecrets.org, the 2nd largest contributor in 2008 to Patriot Majority was SEIU and other top Unions around America.  I imagine the diversion of Union money gets much deeper than this.  Please spread the word before they start getting their message out now.  Thanks.

This website is informative and gives more information than I can list here. Please take the time to visit to see just what our SEIU thugs and Soros’ friends are busy spending their money doing…a fool and his money are soon parted… 

We found the following website which mentions our website – LOL.  It’s a “push-back” effort against the organized labor and thugs that will be disseminating false information about the Tea Party movement over the next months. Please confirm all information you get to be sure it is correct. We will stay on top of this.   http://www.theteapartyisover.com/
Now is the time to re-energize and reload Patriots. We are fighting the revolution again and this time, like the last time, “the redcoats” will be defeated.  Talk to your neighbors, friends, and family and get all involved you can.
Fight on!
