Well done Congress!
GRASSROOTS AMERICANS APPLAUD HOUSE
REPEAL OF HEALTHCARE
Tea Party Calls on Senate to Follow Suit
(Harpswell, ME) - Today, the Tea Party Patriots applauded the vote by the House to repeal the Patient Protection and Affordable Health Care Act, also known as ObamaCare.
"During the 111th Congress politicians who consider themselves the 'ruling elite' passed a job killing, tax raising, liberty stealing bill which they called 'health care reform,'" said Jenny Beth Martin, National Coordinator of Tea Party Patriots. "This was done against the clearly expressed will of the majority of the American people, and they voted to remove their unresponsive representatives in November. Following through today, the House of Representatives lived up to its duties as the people's house and voted to repeal the disaster foisted on the American people.
"Now the question is: Will the Senate resolve to listen to will of the American people? Many have said that Majority Leader Reid will not allow the bill to even be debated, let alone come to a vote in the Senate. What is he scared of? Is he unwilling to allow each Senator to stand up and be counted? The American people have stood and been counted on this issue, and repudiated this law. It is time for the Senate to openly and transparently debate repeal so the majority of Americans can know where they stand."
"November 2012 is not far away, and Americans will remember what happens in the Senate," said Mark Meckler, National Coordinator of Tea Party Patriots. "If the Senate refuses to allow such a debate and repeal, 2012 will once again see an historic number of incumbents removed from their seats as the people continue their quest to wrestle control of their government from an out of touch ruling elite."
"Now its in Senator Reid's hands," said Andrew Ian Dodge, Maine State coordinator TPP. "Will he stand with, or against, the American people? Tea Party Patriots are watching."
Tea Party Patriots will celebrate the 2nd Anniversary of the tea party movement on February 25-27 in Phoenix, AZ with the first Tea Party Patriots American Policy Summit: Pathways to Liberty. Attendees will take part in policy briefings and discussions that will show Tea Party Patriots has become as effective at shaping public policy as it was shaping the last election. The conference is open to all Tea Party Patriots supporters who can register at http://www.summit11.org/.
Tea Party Patriotsis a national grassroots coalition with more than 3,000 locally organized chapters and more than 15 million supporters nationwide. Tea Party Patriots is a non-profit, non-partisan organization dedicated to promoting the principles of fiscal responsibility, constitutionally limited government, and free markets.

H.R. 2—Repealing the Job-Destroying Health Care Law Act
H.R. 2—Repealing the Job-Destroying Health Care Law Act
FLOOR SITUATION
H.R. 2 will be considered on the House floor on Wednesday, January 19, 2011, under a closed rule. The rule provides for seven hours of debate with one motion to recommit. Majority Leader Cantor (R-VA) introduced H.R. 2 on January 5, 2011.
SUMMARY
H.R. 2 would repeal the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010, and Title I and subtitle B of Title II of the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010.
The legislative digest for the job-killing health care law can be found here.
Cost
According to the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), H.R. 2 would prevent $770 billion in tax increases and cut spending by $540 billion.
ObamaCare was designed to hide hundreds of billions of dollars in spending from the scorekeepers at the CBO. Below is a list of some of these items:
· Implementation Costs: CBO did not count the $115 billion needed to implement the law, such as hiring more government employees or IRS agents.
· Double Counting: More than $500 billion in double-counting Social Security payroll taxes and Medicare cuts.
· CLASS Premiums: CBO counted $70 billion in premiums from CLASS (the long-term care program Sen. Conrad called a “ponzi” scheme) but not the liabilities
· 10 years of Taxes/6 years of Spending: The CBO score of ObamaCare accounted for the deficit impact for 10 years of tax increases used to offset only six years of spending increases.

Tele Town Hall tonight on Obamacare...
TPP Tele Town Hall Tonight: Health Care Repeal with Congressman Steve King
(Deadline: 1pm EST)
Good Morning Patriots,
Wednesday will be a historic day in the United States House of Representatives. The Health Care Bill (ObamaCare) will finally come to a repeal vote and while we are expecting it to pass, this is only the first step in the process. Many people in the media and some in the Washington are saying that this is simply a symbolic vote or that it is a mistake for the Republicans to focus on this as their first priority in the 112th Congress; but do you feel like all of the hard work you have committed to the Tea Party movement and to rejecting the government takeover of health care was a mistake? Is the Tea Party movement nothing but a symbolic force in American politics today?
NO! Time and time again over the last two years, we the people have rejected the irresponsible legislation that has been rammed down our throats and there is no time to stop.
Tonight, Tuesday, January 18, 2011 at 8pm EST, Tea Party Patriots will be hosting a Tele Town Hall Meeting to discuss the importance of the Health Care Repeal Vote, the things that citizens can do to ensure its passage, and how we can put pressure on the Senate to bring the bill to the floor for a vote. So far, Congressman Steve King from Iowa, the author of the Repeal legislation has confirmed that he will be on the call and we are awaiting confirmation from one other member of Congress.
They accuse us of only having the ability to protest but we continuously come together to discuss better solutions. They say we are never willing to compromise but maybe the politicians could learn a thing or two from us about not wavering when it comes to principles. So let us stand once again, shoulder to shoulder, let your voices be heard.
Action Items:
1. Sign up for the Tele Town Hall Here (Deadline 1pm EST)
2. Tomorrow, call your Congressmen and ask them how they plan to vote. Tell them how you'd like them to vote and thank them if they are voting the way you want them to. Click here to contact your Congressman.
3. Call your Senators and urge them to bring the bill to a vote in the Senate. Click here to call your Senators.
4. For more ways to participate in creating real policy solutions for our nation, register for the Tea Party Patriots American Policy Summit in Phoenix, AZ on Feb. 25-27th.
5. Donate to help fund the Tele Town Hall. We plan on holding many more of these in the months to come!

Obamacare protest in Maine
Here are shots of the decent sized and well behaved protest crowd. Well done to everyone showing the Gadsden flag to the socialist hordes.
Of amusement is the fact they over-sold the venue and people were turned away. Considering they waited in the rain to get the tickets that is pretty lame. Course its nothing like the waiting list and disappoint in store for people thanks to Obamacare.

Obama is in town today... come protest Obamacare
A whole myriad of groups are turning up outside the Portland Expo, in Portland starting from about 1230 today to protest Obamacare. I know of groups from PaintMaineRed, Maine Patriots, Maine Heritage, College and Young Republicans. It should be quite the turnout.
Come join the fun.
Update: Please film and take photos of the event(s). If you do please send me the shots/links as soon as they are available.

March 16th to DC
To All Tea Party Groups, 9.12 Groups and other Organizations,
I am writing this email to all of you in the hopes we can all come together as one. United in the purpose of saving our country and make a final stand against the liberals in congress.
I have spoken to many people throughout the day, and the one tactic we have all agreed, and that is we must go to Washington. Not as a mass protest in the streets, but as a mass of citizens converging on every liberal congressional office. Lines upon lines of citizens waiting to see congressmen. Not patriots, not 9.12 people, not as an organization, but as Americans. Citizens of all walks of life, of all colors, from every corner of the country. Lines and lines of men and women, young and old standing shoulder to shoulder.
There has been much made about reconciliation, but the fight right now is in the House. If the Senate Bill passes without changes this battle is lost. Make no mistake about this simple fact. If we lose this battle, not only will our country lose, our children lose, and we will lose as a movement. It is time we put differences aside for one or two days and unite to defeat this bill.
I want your input and I want others to see your input. That is why all emails tonight are exposed. Most of the conversations today focused on March 16th as a good day as all members of congress will be in town. This will give us time to get emails to all members of our groups. Arrange buses if needed, book flights, and find hotel rooms. We can do this in one day or two. I need your input.
We can send emails, make phone calls, have candle light vigils, but nothing beats a face to face with thousands. Nothing would have an impact like every congressman and woman walking by long lines of Americans standing in their halls.
We need no signs, we need not wear a single group shirt. We just come, and come, and come. We come as Americans and we leave victorious.
Please let me know if you are willing to make this stand.

I wanted to draw your attention to this important petition that I recently signed:
"ACTION ALERT - Stop Gitmo from coming to Illinois!"
http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/illinoisgitmo/
I really think this is an important cause, and I'd like to encourage you to add your signature, too. It's free and takes just a few seconds of your time.
Thanks!

Pelosicare explained...
The bill is 1,990 pages long and contains a separate 13-page bill to repeal the sustainable growth rate caps on Medicare spending. The Bill will cost more than $200 billion and is not paid for, which will break Obama’s promise to Congress during his speech.
The bill contains the word “shall” 3,425 times. Though Steny Hoyer just said the bill was open and transparent, they prevented the American people from attending their publicity rally by checking IDs and keeping people out.
Read the text of the bill here:

Snowe praised for her stance...
October 13, 2009
Cheer Senator Olympia Snowe,
Great Job!
We all see that you have sided with the tax infested power hungry politicians on the health care proposal. If our understanding is correct, the vote was taken in connection to a summary document. If that is the case and you voted yes to a summary, which will infect the entire United States population from now until.........., you are undoubtedly one of the most brilliant leaders that the world has ever known. There are not many people who would vote yes to an 890 plus billion-dollar proposal (oh just the first ten years...whoops) without having completely read it and understood it. So what if it could cause every American to eventually loose their private health insurance policies (due to the insurance industry going belly up or the taxes imposed causing many to be unable to afford private insurance any longer).
Ms. Snowe...you truly are a great leader.
You deserve the Nobel Leader Prize!
Undoubtedly...your great skills will soon be known across the world via talk
radio, news broadcasts, and viral email communications.
Seriously,
JKMc
CC: To various Senators, Congress Members, State of Maine Tea Parties
and other Conservative Groups...so they can congratulate you on your many
fine accomplishments.

Health Care Event in Maine
Bring your friends and family to a
Patients First Event with Special Guest
Stephen Moore
Wall Street Journal
Place:
Dimillo's Floating
Restaurant and Marina
25 Long Wharf
Portland, ME
Date: July 23, 2009
Time: 1:00pm
Cost: FREE
Featured Speakers:
* Stephen Moore
Wall Street Journal
* Honorable Jon McKane
State Representative
* Honorable Tarren Bragdon
CEO - Maine Heritage Policy Center
Americans are struggling to pay health care costs. We're looking for
affordable care that is health care reform. But is a government
takeover the solution? A government takeover would allow Washington politicians and bureaucrats to take away your right to choose your doctors and hospitals and would delay - or even deny - your access to the care you need.
Bring your family and friends out on Thursday, July 23rd in Portland at 1 PM to the Patients First Tour with special guest Stephen Moore of the Wall Street Journal and make sure your voice is heard against policies that will lead to a Washington takeover of your family's health care, and support real health care choices for every American.
For many in D.C., cutting costs means cutting care - your care. Join Patients First and let Washington know that a one-size-fits-all government plan doesn't fit all because patients have different needs.
Please forward this e-mail and encourage family, friends, neighbors, and co-workers to come out to this free event. Hope you can make it!
RSVP to David Tille:
(603) 369-0272
Or email
Tilleco@aol.com
We'll have free snacks and refreshments for the family, top-notch speakers, and free t-shirts for the first fifty RSVP's!
