ACTION ALERT - Recruitment (Orig: 10/11/09)

My friends,
I love our Country. I refuse to sit idly by as our Liberty is being hijacked by the lunatics in Washington DC. We must band together and take this Country back! Time is of the essence. Our interests are not being "represented" by the politicians. There is strength in numbers and we can make a huge difference by being proactive. Trust me, letters, emails and faxes do influence politicians. The only thing those corrupt and disgraceful politicians care about is being re-elected.

I have recently joined the Peninsula 9.12 Project group (San Mateo County). After just a couple of months, we are seeking a third meeting venue, having already outgrown the first two!

I am asking each one of you to join the Peninsula 9.12 Project<. Furthermore, I am asking that every member bring their like-minded friends. Then, keep on recruiting. (To get on our email list for meeting info email the Peninsula 9.12 Project - link at right.) Here is the best part, we have set up Issue Committees to focus on and research the various important issues. When a critical piece of legislation comes up, the Chair will issue an ACTION ALERT to all members. The Alerts include a summary of the issue, a sample letter, and links to appropriate lawmakers so you can easily send it via snail mail, fax, and email or have the facts at your fingertips for a phone call. This enables you to efficiently make an impact on all the critical issues, with no monetary investment, and without having to be an expert on everything! This will also give you a tremendous feeling of empowerment.

We have created a website that has great topical information and outstanding links. I urge you visit our website, join our group and make a difference! Please do this for the sake of our beloved Country, Liberty, families and friends. It is not too late to save our County and way of life. If you chose to do nothing, you will deserve what you get.

Best Regards,

George
Recruitment Committee

ACTION ALERT - Health (Originally posted 10-10-09)

SUMMARY

Fellow Patriots!

Tuesday remains the day for the crucial vote of the Senate Finance Committee on the Baucus bill. We have to pull out all the stops. According to Dick Morris and others, the senators to target are Olympia Snowe, R Maine; Blanche Lincoln, D Arkansas; Bill Nelson, D Florida and Kent Conrad, D North Dakota.


SAMPLE MESSAGE

Here's a suggested message to copy/paste or create one of your own:

Senator,

Please vote NO on the Baucus bill.

The American people overwhelmingly oppose the takeover of our health care by the government. We are opposed to any kind of public plan, co-ops or exchanges, the ultimate goal of this power grab. It is too expensive, invasive, inefficient and already full of corrupt special deals and buy offs of various members. Post the bill and all the amendments so that We The People can study it for ourselves.

Do not try to pass this by stealth. Remember, WE ARE VOTERS and we support candidates with donations.

VOTE NO!

Sincerely

FURTHER INFORMATION

Grassfire.org's ResistNet.com has blocks of email addresses for Senators that can be copied and pasted. Unfortunately, I couldn't find general email addresses for the four suspects above. I'll keep looking.

WSJ ARTICLE about Harry Reid's special deal for Nevada, along with others in Michigan, Oregon, Rhode Island as well as New York and other states that taxpayers in California will subsidize. It will make your blood boil.

Diane Feinstein is on record saying she cannot vote for a bill that will add $8 billion - billion - to the tax burden of Californians - and that is just to cover the expansion of Medicaid to milliions of people in this state under the Baucus plan. Let's remind her with a phone call or an email.

ACTION ALERT - Health

October 4, 2009

SUMMARY

The Baucus health care bill reveals a massively complicated and intrusive web of government intervention in our lives. The Senate Finance Committee has completed its work and awaits CBO's estimate of the costs. Harry Reid is ready to start debating the bill in the Senate the week of October 12.

Heritage Foundation says if Reid doesn't have 60 votes he may try to attach the health care bill AS AN AMENDMENT to another bill about taxing TARP bonuses, which would get all the Democratic votes he needs! He will then send the bill over to Speaker Pelosi who will ram it through the House and send it on to the President. Let's tell them we don't want it!

SAMPLE EMAIL/FAX

Dear ______________

It has come to my attention that Harry Reid will be attempting to pass the controversial Health Care bill under the cover of the TARP Bonus bill, as an amendment —because he doesn't have the votes to pass the bloated, unpopular Health Care legislation on its own.

Please don't allow this underhanded end-run around the will of The People. We the People do not want State-Run healthcare under ANY circumstances.

You can find local or D.C. phone numbers and fax numbers at the sites above. Regular mail does not reach representatives for days because of security checks.

We also need to pressure Olympia Snowe, the one Republican the Democrats are hopeful of picking off then claiming the bill as "bi-partisan". Snowe's offices are:

Augusta, ME Tel: (207) 622-8292; fax: 207) 622-7295

Washington, DC Tel: (202) 224-5344; fax: (202) 224-1946

Here's a suggested message for Olympia:

Senator, I realize you have worked very hard to find a compromise on the health care bill. However, We the People DO NOT WANT this bill. It is unnecessary, drastic, costly and invasive. Please do not vote for it. Let the Democrats take full responsibility and suffer the consequences of foisting this monstrosity on the American people.

Catholic Church Funding ACORN

Progressive Catholic. That sounds like a contradiction in terms. But unfortunately, it's not.

There is an ongoing effort by some to conflate Catholic Doctrine and Liberation Theology...including Radical anti-Global Warming , anti-Death Penalty positions.

Sad day for staunch Conservative Catholics.

AIM (Accuracy in Media) has the story.

Alinskyian training sessions in the religious context are designed not to develop or cultivate a personal relationship with Christ and promote traditional values and cultural institutions but to engage in Marxist political activity and radical change. Stephanie Block puts it this way: "Their worldview is marred by visions of class struggle and perpetual revolution. They are systematically trained to renounce moral truth in favor of consensus-based 'values.'"

What has happened over the course of years, some of these experts say, is that Catholics trained in Alinskyian thought have become confused about moral issues and problems. They think, for example, that opposition to the death penalty is on the same moral plane as opposition to abortion, even though Catholic moral teaching has never precluded capital punishment. They believe that fighting "global warming" is as important as saving the lives of unborn children or preventing the killing of the elderly. They are trained to fight for abortion and homosexual "rights" in violation of traditional Catholic Church teaching.
I think it's time for us to reach out to Conservative Catholics to join our movement...not only to Take our Country Back....but to Take Their Church Back!
