		<description>You can&#039;t believe a thing coming out of Linda Douglas, obamas&#039; issuer of disinformation(lies) for the obama adminstration. I heard and seen what obama wants to do with no editing Linda. Maybe Linda you should take a refresher course in telling lies and telling the truth. 
How about TORT REFORM, TORT REFORM, TORT REFORM, ENFORCE IMMIGRATION LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. 
For you obama and chuckie schummmmmmer TORT REFORM IS CONTROLLING THE SLIP AND FALL LAWYERS, I&#039;m sure you both know quite a few of them. 
Enforce Immigration Laws on the books already. 
With the combination of the 2, Tort Reform and Enforcing Immiigration Laws would reduce Healthcare costs 30% to 60%. 
This would happen by lowered malpracice insurance costs both in what is charged to Doctors and Hospitals because of the slippery fall lawyers and we would get Healthcare out of the emergency room for all the illegals. 

I really don&#039;t believe your lies obama, I heard and saw you in the AFL_CIO meeting propagating your foney fraudulent healthcare myself. Now Linda Douglas before you put out anymore of your lying obama disinformation, you better have figure out we don&#039;t like LIARS nor gull darn LIARS</description>

		<description>It&#039;s how many people they can make it &lt;b&gt;look like&lt;/b&gt; are behind him.

They will pay people to turn out...they will bus people from other areas in, they will coordinate with their Congress Critters to make sure the town halls are scheduled so those of us who would oppose them are at work and they can bus in the homeless, the un-emplyed and the welfare riff raff who don&#039;t work!

It&#039;s what they&#039;ve always done....they have prospered by making their numbers appear to be far larger than they have ever been...we need to shatter their lies...once and for all!</description>

		<description>We&#039;ve allowed a loud minority to drive us to the brink of bankruptcy and a wholesale slide into Socialism/Communism by allowing them to do what they are accusing us of doing....They are the &quot;Astroturfers&quot; and always have been...They pay their volunteers to show up...They do everything they can to make it appear that they have far larger followings than they&#039;ve ever had...We&#039;ve allowed them to create an allusion by allowing them to go un-challenged!

We need to be out there in bigger numbers...with louder voices...and we should be the ones in &lt;b&gt;THEIR&lt;/b&gt; faces! And if we don&#039;t...then shame on us!

All I can say is...&quot;bring it on Barry....we&#039;re ready and we won&#039;t be intimidated!&quot;</description>

		<description>I&#039;m either going to be labeled an extremist, a wing-nut, ridiculous, or whatever appellation comes to mind but if this passes I&#039;m going to look for or establish a serious secessionist movement, one that isn&#039;t run by those nostalgic for the CSA or wanting to establish a commune (VT). I&#039;m already joining up with the state 10th amendment movement to help return our nation to Constitutional government. 

I will NOT become a slave to the non-contributing members of this society or their patrons in Congress. I don&#039;t give a dam* what people in their respective states do, I can always leave and move to another state. What the socialists in the Federal government have planned for us is inescapable and that is NOT what the Founders envisioned. 

If the Lefties want to live in the country of their dreams I say let them. It will be fun to watch its rapid descent into poverty and despotism for that&#039;s the only way to maintain control. Meanwhile we will have the freest country since before the Civil War.

If one of these Leftists comes to my door it will be the last stop they make.</description>

		<description>I couldn&#039;t help myself, but I better be careful or they might &lt;a href=&quot;http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Is_everyone_who_is_a_permanent_resident_alien_forced_to_become_a_US_citizen_and_what_are_the_advantages_of_being_a_US_citizen_versus_staying_a_green_card_holder&quot;&gt;deport me&lt;/a&gt;. It&#039;s always good to know what the enermy is up to.

&lt;blockquote&gt;Thanks for answering the President&#039;s call and committing to attend a local event this month to build support for insurance reform. We&#039;ll be in touch very soon with more details for what you can do in your area. 
Volunteering is more fun -- and more effective -- when you bring a friend. 
Can you get one more person to match your commitment to come to a local event?  
There&#039;s a quick sample note below that you can send to family and friends asking them to join you. Hearing from you is the most powerful way to get friends and family members to take action -- so we&#039;re really counting on you to help spread the word. 
Thanks again for all that you do, 
Mitch

Hi, With Congress home on recess, August is a pivotal month in the fight for real health insurance reform. I just committed to go to at least one Organizing for America event this month to build support in our community, and show Congress where we stand. Can you commit to attending one event this month as well? 
There&#039;s a lot of misinformation out there, and people are not surprisingly starting to get pretty nervous. There will be lots of different things we can do this month to fight back, and it&#039;s really important that we do what we can. 
You can sign up here: http://my.barackobama.com/CommitAugust 
Thanks!&lt;/blockquote&gt;</description>

Town Hall Forum on Healthcare Umass Worcester What a scam!!

   To all concerned patriots. Michelle and I went to the so called &quot;town hall&quot; meeting today in Worcester. Congressman McGovern was joined by Richard Neal. It was standing room only. It was such an orchestrated dog and pony show it was ridiculous. We were outraged, as were many other people. As soon as they began, they announced that questions that had been submitted on index cards would be addressed at some point during the &quot;discussion&quot; That brought an outcry from those of us who wanted to ask some real questions. There were a few, particulary one very outspoken woman, who sat down front, who came right out and stated that she was all for the healthcare plan. Every time one of the many who are opposed tried to speak, she basically led the chant of &quot;shut up&quot; and sit down. At one point people were told that they would be removed from the proceedings if they continued to shout out questions. Then they agreed to take questions if we wrote them on index cards and handed them to people who were posted there to collect them. There was no opportunity to get up and speak. It was the most blatant example of the Obama lovers deliberately trying to silence any who dared to disagree. We were also told that we could not bring our cameras into the &quot;meeting&quot; One man had to take his all the way back to his car. This was not a meeting, it was an informercial and propaganda tour. People better wake up and start doing something to stop this, or we are all doomed. Neither McGovern or Neal truly answered questions from us, other than the usual evasive liberal rhetoric.

		<description>He may have gotten 52% to vote for him, but most of those were either registering their unhappiness with GWB or assuaging their &quot;white guilt&quot;.  I don&#039;t see enough of them actually that committed to his agenda to have a prayer of matching the numbers of regular folk who are fed up with government largesse.

But what I do see as possible is that they get ACORN involved in the process and dramatically increase the possibility of racially tinged violence.  Pretty post-racial of The One, eh?</description>
