WE STAND TOGETHER!

We are all tired and have plenty to do, but IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT for us to set aside some time to stand together with Michelle Bachman and TEA Party Patriots from all over America on Thursday, Nov. 5th at 11:00 AM (12:00 ET) to oppose this monstrosity of a health care bill that is designed to be government control of Americans.

The Tip of Texas TEA Party encourages Harlingen, Brownsville and Surrounding Areas to join us as we rally near Representative Solomon Ortiz’s office at 11:00 AM on Thursday, Nov. 5th.

Paseo Plaza Shopping Center
1805 E. Ruben Torres Blvd.,
Brownsville (across the street from HEB)

It is suggested to send up to 3 people at a time in Ortiz’s office, each signing the register, voicing opposition to government controlled health care and delivering a letter.

Write a letter to your letter to your Congressman, asking him to VOTE NO on this Health Care bill. Bring the letter to the rally on Thursday, Nov. 5th, at 11:00 AM. You will be a part of this nation-wide effort to bring thousands of constituents to Congressional members’ offices to put pressure on them to vote AGAINST the proposed health care “reform” bill that is expected to go for a vote on Friday.

These individual letters truly make a difference and TEA Party Patriots encourages you to make a copy of your hand written letter and fax it to them at 678-302-5377.

They will hand deliver it for you!

E-mail those on your email lists and ask them to participate in the Congressional House Calls by visiting the District Office of their Congressional Member at 11:00 Am (noon ET) on Thursday, Nov. 5th.

Call everyone you know and spread the word.

Encourage everyone to come out for this.

It may well be our last chance to stop this take over by our government.

The National Council of La Raza at this very minute is mobilizing across the country to fill Senate Finance Committee voice mail boxes with messages to OPPOSE verification to keep illegal aliens out of a federal health plan.

The committee is supposed to vote Friday.

Will you take a minute and help us make sure that the majority of messages SUPPORT verification?

Don’t let La Raza’s voice be the main voice these Senators hear.

If you are reading this Thursday evening, please make a phone call and leave a message on the answering machine of your U.S. Senator who is on the Finance Committee.

If you are reading this Friday morning, please immediately call your Senator’s office and talk to the staff.

The Max Baucus version of the Health Care bill that is coming up in the Senate today deserves our calls to our Senators.  Here is a letter from Grassfire that will give you information and details. :
 
Steve Elliott, President, Grassfire.org Alliance

Tomorrow the Senate starts voting on ObamaCare and the unconstitutional “individual mandate.”  See below.  –Steve

Michael E,

Tuesday, the Senate Finance Committee is expected to begin voting on the Baucus version of ObamaCare.

Many are saying this debate in Senate Finance could determine whether Obama and the Democrats pass government-run healthcare this fall.

Don’t be fooled by the media spin. This latest version is still an oppressive, government-run healthcare system.

We must build on the events of 9/12 starting  TODAY.  We can’t wait until tomorrow.  We are the resistance.  There is no group, be it republican or democrat, that can or will save us.  It is up to us!
 
Keep these numbers and put them on speed dial.

1-877-851-6437, 1-800-833-6354, 1-866-220-0044,
1-866-808-0065, 1-877-762-8762, 1-866-340-9281,
1-800-862-5530

Call them daily or hourly, if you have the time.  Let the Congress and Senate know there are more of us out here, and we stand with those who were marching in Washingtonon 912. This revolution has just begun, and it needs every single red- blooded American at the helm.  We will not stand down or be intimidated.

We are fighting for our freedom,  for our country, for our families, and for those who have no family to fight for them.  We must bury our leaders in calls, letters and faxes and demand they hear the voice of the people.
 
We also need to bombard the news media outlets with our disapproval of their biased and incorrect reporting… and their intentional lack of reporting!
Write letters to the editor of your local paper, educating the public and encouraging them to think for themselves. 
 
Act Now!

I was at the Tea Party in Washington DC on Saturday.  It was Awesome beyond words.

Winter is coming and I am not a big fan of standing in cold and rain so I have a proposed solution.

I woke up this morning with an idea for a one day phone in Tea Party to any and all representatives from delegates to president.  A sure way to have our opinions counted.  {I am disgusted by the inability to accept a reasonable guesstimate by the leftists. I wish I was as sure that the counts by phone would be properly counted too}

Find your Representative. Let him/her know that you do NOT want to fund ACORN, a well-known criminal enterprise, with your tax dollars. Call, email, fax, or write a letter. The Senate voted overwhelmingly (83 – 7) to de-fund ACORN. Pelosi will not de-fund ACORN unless a strong majority of House members fear they will not win re-election in 2010 should they vote to fund ACORN.

Fair warning to all entrenched politicos: Ignore us at your peril.

American Thinker Blog: Summer of Change.

Bremerton resident and blogger Keli Carender challenges Norm Dicks to come and take the first $20 for healthcare from her. He refuses. Shot at his August 31st, 2009 town hall meeting in Bremerton, WA.

September 9 – 14, 2009

Last chance to join us for a memorable experience! 

When they talk of ‘The Great 2009 Freedom March on the Capitol’, you want to be able to tell your grandkids, “I WAS THERE!”  

Think about it – nice Fall weather, our Nation’s Capitol – You really should be a part of this!

Room reservations at the Marriott at Metro Center (downtown Washington DC) are still available, thru Sunday.  

Pack your bags!  It’ll be a fun trip.  Show your concern for this great Nation!

From the Harlingen Tea Party (HTP):

One of our members, Dixie, has suggested that we take up the challenge that Mr. Zamora suggested at our meeting last Tuesday, and WRITE SNAILMAIL LETTERS to our elected reps, all at the same time.

She suggests that everyone jot their own thoughts about the HealtCare proposals, and mail them all over this weekend, so they will all flood their mail about the time the Congress begins taking up the HealthCare again.

A list of those addresses is on the RGVTP website, click on Harlingen logo, and then “Elected Officials” link.

TTTP Visitors,

I received this email from L. Garcia this evening and am passing it along:

Hi Chris,
        In case you  missed it, Sergio had Rep. Cuellar on his Saturday morning show on KURV. Cuellar answered call-in questions (poorly) from about 9 am to 10 am. Several MTP members, including myself were able to ask questions. It has come to our attention KURV needs to hear from citizens who appreciate what Sergio is doing. That morning, he did what no one else in all the Valley media has done, ask the bold questions and refuse to accept spin answers. May I suggest any TTTP or HTP members who heard the show or are glade someone like Sergio is on the airwaves contact KURV’s manager, Bert Collins and tell him so? His email address is bcollins@bmpradio.com   Thanks!

    1. The limits of base politics. Yesterday, I noted the apparent decision of the Obama White House to focus aggressively on mobilizing its base in advance of the midterm.  I concluded that the pursuit of this strategy so late in the cycle suggests party leaders recognize that the House is slipping away. I want to expand on that here.

  • Tech at Night: John Kerry, Net Neutrality, For the Children!, Hank Johnson September 9, 2010
    Yesterday at the Daily Caller we found out why John Kerry was such a flip-flopper during his Presidential run. The reason is that he just can’t help it. He even flips around when he’s not running for anything. In 1998 he wrote a letter to the FCC explaining that the Telecommunications Act 1996 forbids the FCC to do the very same deem and pass Title II Reclas […]
