You’re doing marvelous work, Congresswoman.

In Illinois, 10% unemployment would be an improvement. The upside is we may in Nov. finally see the chinks appearing in our one party state rule.

Activists Taking Action: Unified Patriots

No fixing, no nibbling

Thank you for all your efforts. We can and will repeal this monstrosity, and when we do, you will go down as one of the heroes of the 2nd American Revolution!

Next time you see my Congresswoman, Ann Kirkpatrick, stick your tongue out at her for me! (or would that be inciting violence?).

Keep up the good work!

that’s a lot of our economy, so what can we do to privatize our economy? i know a large part of what gw bush tried to do in iraq was privatize the military (a huge part of the federal government — and yes I SUPPORT THE TROOPS) — but that ended up costing more money than just recruiting pimply faced teenagers in the traditional socialist government-sponsored way. similarly, the recent government takeover of student loans, though it is a takeover, is actually going to cost the government less than the weird hybrid student loan system that used to exist. and our weird medical system, which, despite obamacare, is still largely private, costs the us government as much per capita as the fully-socialized schemes in britain (though of course they have a terrible system that would make mao and mussolini proud). so the question is — can we do SMART privatization that doesn’t end up just costing more money? i’m all for it, but if it’s some messed-up hybrid scheme that just makes fat cats rich while failing to deliver the goods, perhaps adam smith’s invisible hand is paralyzed.

Thank you for pushing hard on repeal. Please also thank your colleagues that support this fight.

I request that you, and the other fighters in the House, inject 1000cc of concentrated Red Bull into each of those in the House, and especially the SENATE, that STILL have not been inspired to ACTION and DYNAMIC FIGHT against both this destructive bill and the entire Dem (Socialist) agenda. (If needed, up it to 3000cc RedBull for the Senate.)

Would you please in the name of our great Creator, get the young, energetic, and dedicated GOP and Dem conservatives in the U.S. House to stick together in the name of SAVING the US from Socialism? If there are not any willing Dem conservatives, weed out the “wheat from the tears” in the GOP and set aside the RINOs or “swishy republicans” with them. What is the GOP House members true and significant plan to “win the hearts and minds of independent voters” in Nov. 2010? I know it can’t be revealed too soon, but I pary there will be a sensible and viable plan as there was in 1994. Truth is power. No spin, just the truthful facts to get us to rally around. The conservative movement needs strong, young, dedicated, honest and fearless candidates to win and represent us in the House. Some candidates who when they win are immediately ready to stand up and repeal the Obamacare crap and put this country on sound financial footing. Forget replacing Healthcare. We need a strong and sound dollar currency, jobs, jobs, jobs. No more funding for National Endowment for the Arts; Acorn; ACLU; and not pay the legal fees for the environmental whackoos who constantly sue the U.S. to stop energy development. There are too many funds for studies, etc. which do not do a damn thing except benefit a few at the expense of the many and it has to stop! Please Congresswoman, the founders pledged their lives and fortunes to create this country, help us collect the next “founders’ to save this country!

Thanks for not succumbing to whatever they’re handing out on the Beltway cocktail party circuit.

You are truly a courageous woman – thank you for all you do. There need to be many more like you in Congress speaking out in defense of the Constitution. Keep fighting!

You are right – now is the time for choosing….in particular, for Republican leadership to decide which side they are on. Will they throw off the influence of special interests and choose to stand in support of the Constitution, or will they continue to play politics for their own personal gain while undermining the efforts of constitutional conservatives to fight to preserve the gift of freedom, our Constitution and form of government that our founders placed in our care? Is leadership REALLY intent on ‘repeal’ or are they just using this as a rallying cry?

Wounderfu; idea but won`t happen because it won`t pass and even if it were done the President. Repealing it might be possble if the Republicans win sizable gains in both houses of Congress this November, win more seats and the Presidency in 2012.

But this is no time for fawning praise. Let’s face it. the GOP did a terrible job of exposing all the bad things in a nearly 3000 page bill. Over and over, the other side called us liars.

I heard almost nothing about IMAB. You (not you personally, but the leadership in general) barely connected IMAB and QALY to expose the REAL death panel, not the leftist spin on end of life counseling.

The true numbers were never brought out. Why was there no line by line refutation of the flawed CBO projections. All I heard was “ten years of taxes and six years of outlays”. That barely scratched the surface.

Simple idea: If the Democrats think the big bad insurance companies are gouging us, why not create some mutual companies, which by definition, can’t cheat their policy holders?

How about a govt. subsidized catastrophic insurance umbrella? Insure the insurance companies against the worst cases. It could be structured like the FDIC or flood plain insurance.

Then just insist that “once insured, always insured”, with no lifetime cap. No cancellations due to illness. Even if originally insured through a job, the policy should belong to the individual.

Policies should be written in plain English, with fast arbitration available for denied claims.

End discriminatory taxation for self-employed taxpayers.

Seems like you could do all this in fifty pages. It kills me when I hear talking points like “The American people like the 26 year old coverage and the no pre-existing conditions rule. Where is a Republican counterpoint like “What is in the OTHER 2700 pages?”

Don’t get me wrong Congresswoman Bachman. You are one of the best. But you have to do even better.

We appreciate that you have stood strong and steadfast on principle despite the outrageous slanders from the far left. This cannot have been easy for you and your family, though your cause is just and necessary.

May the Spirit of Easter renew you, refresh you, and give you the strength to carry on! Our prayers go with you!

and your selfless giving of yourself to our country. You are fighting front line for our future generations.

We know that all that is going on with this administration is not ineptness, it is purposeful. The administration is attempting to liquidate the economy and the constitution of the country.

I echo others in saying our prayers are with you.

God bless you and yours

Keeping up the fight, one fact at a time!!

I salute you Ms. Bachman.
I for now have to live in the racist John Lewis 5th District in Georgia.

My goal is to leave as soon as I can over the county line where true Patriots (and non-racists) represent their constituents.

God-speed. I’m sure Moonbat Keith will be in overdrive (if a Cownell graduate know what that means) smearing you.

We will support you by NOT watching.

We have a slight problem it’s called the veto pen of Obama, we have senators who like parts of this bill in our party, Rep Bachmann. We still need two thirds majorities and they would all have to vote lock step just like the democrats, and even if we win big even bigger than 94 to get to those numbers we need. I think the best thing is to Waite until Obama beaten in a landslide in 2012, then in 2013 then repeal it.

The reports from Caterpillar, Verizon, AT&T & the restaurants in CA adding surplus taxes on their customer’s is just the tip of the ice burg when it comes to ‘businesses’ passing the costs of this HCR bill along to us…

That doesn’t include the taxes which will hit our paychecks, our Employee Insurance Plans… but then there is the ‘increase’ in our Insurance Premiums. Add it all up!!!

Don’t get me wrong, this HCR bill is terrible and never should have been passed in the fashion that it was. However, if you added the ‘above’ taxes’ & ‘surplus’ fees which will be added every time we go to a business for their services, the added costs will be astronomical and un-accountable. People, our dilemma is that we will be paying into this system for the next FOUR-YEARS… and ‘should’ this bill be “Repealed”, or scraped totally in 2012 or 2013, we would have paid into a program that never left the ground… Sooo, what happens to all our $$$ ? Sounds to me like a Big Black Hole to me like soc Security

For any Legislator to stand firm on the issues takes great “Courage” in these Progressive times. Look at what Cantor has endured in VA and I am sure Congresswoman Bachmann has a vault of her own threats levied upon her.

The Congresswoman has been fighting the battle for a long time now…
She, and other’s like her need our support

Congresswoman Bachmann, Your’re doing an outstanding job standing up and fighting for our Constitution and our principles. Unfortunately, the Republican leadership in Congress is so weak. Also, many of the Republicans serving in Congress do not share our consrvative values. That, plus the fact the party is in the minority will make repeal virtually impossible in this session.

We need a complete overhaul in Congress including many Republicans. That’s what we need to focus on, throwing the liberals of both parties out of their seats and voting in true conservatives.

You are doing an outstanding job. Perhaps, your peers will listen to you and mend their ways. It’s highly doubtful but, I suppose possible. Tell them to get on board or face the voters wrath in November.

I wish that Rep. Bachmann would spend more time developing the Republican platform rather than wasting time on repealing something that won’t/can’t be repealed. Democrats did what they said they were going to do, they delivered on their platform. I’d rather see Republican leadership deliver on their platform, FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY. Please, bring back pay-as-you-go. Sponsor something that will win not only win the hearts and minds, but give America financial strength.

after seeing a letter from south carolina’s Lt. Gov. the answer is constitutional convention. He’s calling for his legislators to support a resolution and he’s calling on other states to join. got to have 35 states ratify it. I posted a diary on it and his letter is in there along with a website. Its tough but its doable and can’t be vetoed and won’t spend endless years going through appeals processes.

i’d like to point out we won’t have to repeal anything the fraud has signed if he is removed for ineligibility. it all becomes invalid as he is not actually president. come on people, wake up. there is way out of this mess if we all demand our representatives, courts and military uphold their oath to defend the constitution. WAKE UP PEOPLE, WAKE UP.

God bless you. I only wish I lived in your district so that I could vote for you. Unfortunately, I live in California.

A couple of days ago, I wrote a post called “Hold the Line” , which is a reference to a line the climactic scene in “The Patriot,” where the Colonial militia’s front line begins to falter and retreat from the British is underway, Seeing the militia’s resolve slipping, Benjamin Martin (Mel Gibson) seizes the American flag and rushes to the front line screaming, “Hold the line!” The boldness of his brave leadership in the face of looming defeat was the catalyst the discouraged militia needed to press on. Their energy and belief in victory was restored, and they were, indeed, victorious.

It is a scene that I believe parallels where we are in our fight for this country. http://www.redstate.com/4liberty/2010/03/27/hold-the-line/ (includes link to said video of Patriot.)

In that post I contend that
“We can prevail, but victory will require brave, principled, bold leadership from the Conservatives in Republican Party. The citizens of this great Republic are thirsty for leaders we can believe in and who can boldly lead in the face of defeat. We need our leaders to signal that they are confident of victory and the American people will follow.”

In retrospect, I should have entitled it “An Appeal to GOP Leadership: What The People Need to Hear From You,” to maximize the chances of it being read by the people for whom it was intended. I may repost it under that title, if that’s permitted.

What you speak of in your post here exemplifies the resolve we need to see in our GOP leaders. We need more of it more often across the board. Thank you for leading the charge!
