I urge each and everyone of you to visit their Senator’s office with the message they seem to not have heard. Vote for this Healthcare bill, and you better prepare for retirement.

To that end:

MAKE SURE TO DROP OFF A “HAPPY RETIREMENT” GREETING CARD!

This is our last chance to be heard! If you can’t get to their office just drop one in the mail! Find the addresses here: http://www.senate.gov/ . A list of Democrat Senators up for re-election in 2010 is here: http://www.fireandreamitchell.com/2009/11/21/a-list-of-democrat-senators-up-for-re-election-in-2010/

RSVP here, if you can: http://www.facebook.com/#/event.php?eid=179798034662&index=1

Be sure to invite EVERYONE YOU KNOW!

TIP 1: If there is already someone geared up to run against them, be sure to mention that candidate by name in a note, so they know that YOU KNOW who their competition is! Even better make sure they know you will be working on the competition’s campaign if you are so inclined!

TIP 2: Think about presenting them with a big beautiful Mylar Balloon for a little extra pizazz!!

TIP 3: Spend some quality crafty time with family and like-minded friends to deliver custom-crafted cards and doo-dads.

TIP 4: No time to go to the card shop? Here’s a free retirement card template you can print and send! http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/templates/TC103754971033.aspx?CategoryID=CT101433941033 ht

TIP 5: Get a group together, meet up at a specific day/time and throw a party! Cards, balloons, cake, noise makers! Sing “For He’s a FOLLY Good Fellow,” give them a Barney the Dinosaur watch as a departing gift!

TIP 6: Film the delivery and/or party. Take pictures during your visit or scan your card! Post them here! (We do love your creativity, folks, but PLEASE stay on topic or your image will be deleted)

TIP 7: If your Senator is not there to see you, at least request the office manager. I believe this will provide more impact.

Again, please be sure to invite EVERYONE YOU KNOW!

Dottie said this week was different, though. There was a much more positive response from the passers-by than in the past. I can only hope that this means taxpayers are finally waking up to the destruction that is at our doorstep…

Here is the gang!

A reprieve from the sun

The Cavalry

It does not take an MBA to look at the numbers, just simple addition and division, to know that we, as a nation are in debt up to our eyeballs, and the spending just continues. But don’t take my word for it, I think these guys have an even higher degree:

  “March 31 (Bloomberg) — The U.S. government and the Federal Reserve have spent, lent or committed $12.8 trillion, an amount that approaches the value of everything produced in the country last year, to stem the longest recession since the 1930s.
  New pledges from the Fed, the Treasury Department and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. include $1 trillion for the Public-Private Investment Program, designed to help investors buy distressed loans and other assets from U.S. banks. The money works out to $42,105 for every man, woman and child in the U.S. and 14 times the $899.8 billion of currency in circulation. The nation’s gross domestic product was $14.2 trillion in 2008. ”

And then there’s these figures:

  “What’s your Obama debt number when you add up how much you will have to pay on interest over the course of your working career for President Obama’s 2010 budget?
  Our estimates find that if you are 20 years old that plans to retire when you are 70, you will owe to President Obama $114,280.72 for the interest payments on his budget. ”

And it’s not just about citizens being directly taxed.

Other policies being considered within Obama’s $3.6 TRILLION budget for just 2010 will affect the cost of doing business for the energy sector, which costs are sure to be passed to all who purchase anything and everything. There is not a single thing you an I buy, that is not dependent on energy. Ergo, Obama’s “Cap and Tax” policy will cost us all more. This is a hidden consumer tax that many don’t consider.

It seems that when severe flooding washed out an access road into the park, state bureaucrats said even if they did have the money for the repairs, it would take 2 years – and $14 million dollars.

The community rallied resources and got the job done themselves – in EIGHT DAYS!

Today’s government and the politicians involved are so arrogant (yes, they are) as to think that they are the end-all be-all to us citizens; that we need Uncle SamNanny to take care of all apects of our lives.

I say, “Obama, stop perpetrating this lie amongst the citizens of this country, and get the hell out of our way so WE can get moving with the business of this fine (yes I said it – this FINE) country and our economy!”

Join the Tea Party on April 15th
