Tea Party Watch-- "Keep your friends close, keep your enemies closer".
I just got this email how they are turning the defeat into a major fund-raising campaign. So we must counter them with more donations to Obama.
Dear Erik,
Your help is URGENTLY needed to help FreedomWorks launch the Declare Your Independence from ObamaCare campaign. Read below for important conference call and materials information.
This Saturday, June 30th at 3 p.m. we will be hosting a conference call with Director of Federal and State Campaigns Brendan Steinhauser and Vice President of Health Care Policy Dean Clancy to discuss the campaign.
Essentially, our campaign will be asking Tea Partiers, constitutionalists, conservatives, and all Americans who oppose ObamaCare and the Supreme Courts radical assault on the Constitution to get engaged. On - and for - our Independence Day, the Fourth of July, we are asking patriots to collect signatures for a petition from those who want to End ObamaCare and restore healthcare freedom.
We are asking patriotic Americans to Declare their Independence from ObamaCare.
Just as Thomas Jefferson, Samuel Adams, and George Washington declared their independence from the British Crown over their opposition to Intolerable Acts, this Fourth of July so will we declare our independence from this intolerable Act.
Please click here to download the petition to Declare your Independence from ObamaCare. Activists can directly download and print this form to collect signatures from like-minded supporters of fully repealing and Declaring their Independence from ObamaCare.
Please click here to download the Declare your Independence from ObamaCare flyer. Activists can directly download and print this flyer to hand out at Independence Day parades, parties, and rallies to spread our message of Independence from ObamaCare. The flyer directs readers to visit our petition website (which we will officially launch on the call) at www.DeclareIndependence2012.com.
With your crucial help, this campaign will engage even more Americans than the millions who already oppose and want to fully repeal ObamaCare. We will also deliver these petitions to the Senate to reiterate the massive grassroots opposition to this monstrous bill and the even worse Supreme Court decision, and demand that the Senate fully repeal the Act.
Please join us on this conference call at 3 p.m. this Saturday, June 30th to learn more about the campaign and how you can get engaged for healthcare freedom.

Second, the U.S. Supreme Court, in an opinion written by the conservative Chief Justice John Roberts, ruled that "Obamacare," aka, the Affordable Care Act was constitutional, so declaring freedom from it is akin to treason.
Third, these people are loons.

Freedom FROM quality and affordable health care, that is.
Rat bastards.

(14,549 posts)Here are other ways to protest universal heath care:
- hold a smoke-athon -- participants will rip up their insurance policies (if they have any) and then join in a marathon of cigarette smoking. For those who don't smoke: bacon and hot dog eating marathon protest.
- Refuse the ambulance when it comes. The ambulance will only take your freedom away and get you to a socialist hospital. Better to die at home as a proud patriot!
- Impeach Roberts, Scalia and Thomas for not stopping socialism in it tracks.
- Oppose Obama-care and the Romney-care on which it is based.
- Boycott Massachusetts -- the ground zero of socialist medicine!

Some politician from Michigan called for ARMED REVOLUTION.

(14,549 posts)During any 2 hour period of daylight in North America from now to November the Romney campaign will be cashing checks but to me if you are someone who has a huge issue with ACA then WHY would you TRUST ROMNEY to kill his own policy-grandchild?
I find the whole idea that they can spin Romney as the guy to repeal ACA to be Orwellian. It is like a science experiment in mass hypnotism. ACA is Romney's baby.

(6,335 posts)Thats his main talking point now. But that is a lie as usual from Romney, he cant repeal it, congress has to do that.
Thom Hartmann says this is the new Roe v Wade for the GOP to raise money for decades. But I think once people start using it they will like it and it will be as popular as Medicare or SS. But the GOP is STILL trying to kill those too, so who knows.

(1,055 posts)In 2008, I donated several hundred dollars. So far this go around, my finances have been inadequate to allow it.
Though I really could not afford it, I donated $25 today for this very reason. The teabaggers are pushing Romney now because he is promising to kill the signature legislation of the first African American president even though Romney pushed through the same legislation as governor of Ma.
I'll skip lunch a few times next week to make up for it.
