Talk about making all our efforts feel futile....I heard this on the radio while I was driving from one errand to another and it was posted on one of the other groups I am in...just makes my head want to explode. There is NOTHING that this administration will not do to further their agenda. Now they are putting up the security of all America as a weapon against Nelson...what is he to do with that??? There HAS to be something that can be done...this is extortion. Chicago politics have no business in DC...I am sick!!! Below is the post....

Report: Democrats threaten Nebraska, U.S. Strategic Command (National Security) to EXTORT healthcare takeover votes!

According to a Senate aide, the White House is now threatening to put Nebraska's Offutt Air Force Base on the BRAC list if Nelson doesn't fall into line.
Offutt Air Force Base employs some 10,000 military and federal employees in Southeastern Nebraska. As our source put it, this is a "naked effort by Rahm Emanuel and the White House to extort Nelson's vote." They are "threatening to close a base vital to national security for what?" asked the Senate staffer.

It seems there is nothing we can do to stop this machine cause they will pull out all the cards, so this convinces me even more that we have to get to work to get STRONG conservative people in congress to stand up to these bullies. I am ready to start this minute...this just infuriates me!!

President Obama, Governor Quinn & Sen. Durbin are ramming the Gitmo detainees through to Illinois. Help us stop this madness - by saying NO to Gitmo detainees coming to American soil ANYWHERE! We do NOT want them getting our Constitutional rights in court!

Please sign this so we can present it at a hearing on the 22nd is Sterling, IL.

Strategists have long told civilian populations that there are steps to take in reasserting control of their government.

1) Voting, phoning, informing Representatives

2) Peaceful Protest, Marches

3) Loud, Attention-getting, Disruptive Marches in the Streets -- Closing down Main Arteries

4) Civil Disobedience -- Sit-ins, "Die-ins," Strikes, Blockades. Sit-ins are takeovers of the offices of the Representatives who refuse to listen. All of these require Coordinated efforts in large enough #s to fill and shut down the offices of the Representatives, bringing Gov work to a standstill.

The Left Knows we Conservative/Liberty-minded people WON'T do the Civil Disobedience in great enough #s. SO they KNOW they have already won.

Of COURSE they aren't listening. Why should they?

They know the RIGHT WON'T do anything undignified. They've watched Conservatives for years -- they've seen us peacefully object through all kinds of violations of the Constitution & Bill of Rights -- Income Tax, Fed Reserve, FDR's prosecution of farmers for growing their own feed for their cattle, show trials of the 1930s, EXTREME violations by FDR -- Conservatives then, as now, phoned, wrote letters, & voted. NONE would gather in large enough #s to combat the Marxist Takeover.

For 20 years David Horowitz, the former Communist urged Conservatives to March & to Protest in the Streets; finally this year they did, but they are unwilling to take the next step.

So we will all get what we deserve -- a nice cold prison cell one at a time as we slowly are eradicated.

Of course, the Stalinists will first target those who are unpopular with Conservatives -- so we won't speak up 4 the minority who aren't part of our social circle. In the 1940s it was the Japanese-Americans, 1st generation German-Americans, & many 1st generation Italian-Americans who were put imprisoned in what we nearly concentration camps. We let it go -- they didn't go to our church after all.

It'll happen again -- they'll go after some group of Conservative voting people who we are a little sick of anyway because they don't believe like us. We'll let it go because we think we'll be better off without them -- you see, Conservatives are Ideological Purists. If a person isn't

• Christian
• Church-attending at a voting-block church
• voting with the majority of Conservative beliefs
• anti-abortion
• anti-gay
• Bible-believing

Then the majority of Conservatives won't bat any eye when those people are disenfranchised.

It'll be the unpopular groups 1st, & then they'll have the precedent for silencing YOU -- the majority.

They're just counting on YOU NOT doing anything undignified -- like sit-ins, "Die-ins," filling up major intersections with people disrupting traffic.

So to those who say "We keep doing things to tell them how we feel -- we march, march, march, protest, protest, protest, carry our flags & signs, wave our banners. & we don't get media attention....
.... I ask "What is the Definition of Insanity?" ....

If you want to stop a Takeover you don't WAIT for media attention. YOU MAKE YOUR OWN ATTENTION.

You Protest in the Streets -- you have a MASSIVE amount of people in a VERY BUSY area where there are too many of you to be ignored & SO MANY that if the police wanted to arrest you they wouldn't have room for all of you.

I'll know if anyone is listening by whether or not I receive any messages.

We have to band together & do this NOW BEFORE it's too late.

The Founding Fathers had to sacrifice much, much more. How much will you give?

....The LEFT already knows you WON'T ...because they know Conservatives -- those predictable, quiet, obedient to civil authorities types, who are so terrified of getting arrested they'll never gather in large enough #s to ever create coordinated disruptions in large enough #s to really get the public's attention.

The Media will always CONTROL us. If they don't report it; it didn't happen. And we WON'T make Disruptions in the Streets large enough to make OUR OWN NEWS.

Do You have the courage to TAKE YOUR NEWS TO THE PEOPLE?

Or will you always just rely upon the media to do it 4 u? (you know they won't).

So, you're dead in the water unless you step it up a notch.

Watch the last 3 minutes of this video from PJTV:

The most important part is 10 minutes in, where they "Get down to Brass Tacks" as they say:

So just move the cursor forward to 10:00 minutes in & watch the last 3 minutes. Please message me with your reaction, or comment here.

http://www.pjtv.com/v/2235

Then after you watch the above 3 MINUTES at the last of the video above, next, watch:

David Horowitz on Glenn Beck Show telling us the only way to stop the bill is to do "Die-ins" (Pt 5 of 6) [below is Pt 6 of 6 ]

Do we have the Courage of the Founding Mothers? or not?

We are in the Midst of a Stalinist Takeover. What are you doing?

John Rieder -

I could not agree with you more! We march, march, march; protest, protest, protest; carry our flags and signs; and wave our banners. Where does this get us? Little media attention, and certainly NO response or change from politicians.

The ONLY way to be successful in this endeavor, is to find and SUPPORT the candidates that truly believe and support our values and the constitution, and get them elected! That will definitely send the message!

So... there's this guy, Richard Behney, who is running for the Senate seat currently held by Evan Bayh in 2010. www.richardbehney.com

This time last year Behney was running his plumbing business (Attaboy Plumbing) and watching his income tank, just like the economy. He was actually the first to arrive at the original tea party last February in Chicago. Eric Odom recruited Richard and his family to help him that day. He became so fired up, he put together the first tea party group in our state, and organized/lead the April 15th tea party rally in Indianapolis that drew more than 15,000 patriots. He and his wife went to DC for the September march on the Capitol.

By fall he was convinced that he could do more good, cleaning up in DC than in Indy. It was time to shut up and step up! I have been voluntarily working with Richard on his campaign for the last couple of months, and I can tell you he's a man of faith, a man of his word, a man who will not back down in DC, and a man who will represent Indiana well. And, of all things, he is a plumber (he will recognize it for what it is and get it fixed), as well as a husband and father. He will only stay in DC two terms if he is elected and is not, nor ever will be, a professional politician.

Please check out Richard Behney. If you can help him get to DC with your hard-earned money, please do. There is a donation link on his website. Any amount is helpful!

Would you kindly pass this on to your friends, family and anyone you know that is concerned about the direction our country is heading?

Oh...and don't think that because you don't live in Indiana, you can't help out. We're in a national crisis, and I feel so blessed to find someone in my state who is willing to go plunge out the muck in DC! But there will be many other Richard Behneys stepping up in other states that will need our support as well.

Most of all, I would ask for your prayers for the Behneys. Politics is a hard life to choose -- its hard on individuals, families, faith, and health among other things. Pray that they would constantly be reminded that God is in charge, and He's the one that's called them.

(He is also the only one in the running in Indiana that is FOR term limits!)

We have made some progress, they would of passed a health care scam back in August if the people had not stepped up. The Obama adminstrations polling numbers are falling faster than a bag of rocks. We have to keep up the pressure, no matter how tired we are, this is what they expect. Next they will try to divide the party.

Comment by John Rieder on December 11, 2009 at 10:37am

How many marches, how many letters, calls and emails have to go un-noticed before we change strategies? I think now there will be an effort by some to 'wear us out' Get the people willing and able to make visits to WDC, in WDC, and again and again until they are no longer willing and able to make the next trip. Let us all get tired of sending emails, letters and making phone calls by campaign after ignored campaign. Until we get tired and frustrated with that activity. Then they can bring more 'change we can believe in' and we will just sit mumbling in a corner saying...somebody has to do something. Please let me know if others think the same way...but I thought that after a large majority of people actively protested that we would get the support of the national politicians and media and we could effect change and have it reflected in the voting booth? I dont really see more than a few politicians standing up for what we want. Obama Care/GOP Care...who cares. WE CANT AFFORD TO SPEND A TRILLION DOLLARS RIGHT NOW!

Below is a copy of an e-mail I received from freedomworks [The folks who sponsered the big 9/12 protest in DC last fall] regarding a call to action of activist groups. They include the protest on Tuesday in DC, but I will not be able to go. There is another alternative that may be of interest to those of us who remain at home. The last section of the letter talks about holding candlelight vigils locally.

FreedomWorks
The fight against Obamacare in the Senate

Dear Deborah,

I just wanted to update you on the battle against a government takeover of health care. A few weeks ago, the House of Representatives passed its version of Obamacare, and now the Senate is considering its own version. Neither plan offers real solutions that empower patients. Nor do they include common sense solutions like tort reform or allowing consumers to purchase health insurance across state lines. Both versions of Obamacare are filled with billions of dollars in higher taxes, government mandates and $2.5 trillion in new spending. We still have a chance to defeat this big government monstrosity and preserve one-sixth of our economy from being taken over by the federal government.

The battle in the Senate has reached its most critical point, and we need your help to convince a handful of swing voters in the Senate to vote NO on the Senate bill. Sen. Harry Reid is trying to have a vote to end debate next week. These next few days are crucial, and we need your help! We are hearing that this bill is so unpopular that Sen. Reid and Speaker Pelosi want to avoid normal procedure and skip the usual bicameral conference to reconcile the bills. Instead, the Senate bill may be the final version of Obamacare.

Please TAKE ACTION now to start calling them, and remind them that the American people oppose Obamacare. Also, you will note that the targets have local offices in their states, and we are encouraging people to go sit in these offices every day until we stop this bill. This action will send a powerful message across the country that we are serious about defeating this terrible legislation.

DC Rally and Sit-ins!

Next week, on Tuesday, December 15th, we expect thousands of Americans to come back to Washington for a rally at Upper Senate Park at 1:00pm. At the conclusion of the rally, these citizens will go visit their Senators, and some folks will stay until they get a face-to-face meeting. We will sit in these offices all day if we have to, and will not be denied our right to be heard! If you cannot make it to DC for the sit-ins, please organize local senate office sit-ins in your state. Be sure to send us your pictures and videos! If you'd like to participate in any of these efforts, please contact Juan Hernandez at jhernandez@freedomworks.org (202)-942-7672.

Events in Arkansas

Also, if you live in Arkansas where only 28% of the people support Obamacare, we have a few events that you should be aware of. Senator Blanche Lincoln is a key swing vote on Obamacare, and we intend to add some pressure to her next week with events in Hot Springs, Conway and Little Rock. Our Chairman Dick Armey will be speaking at an event in downtown Little Rock on December 15th about health care, cap and trade and the limited government movement. Please contact Juan Hernandez at jhernandez@freedomworks.org (202)-942-7672 for more information about the Arkansas events.

Nationwide Candlelight Vigils

On December 16th we are coordinating with other national groups including Tea Party Patriots and National Taxpayers Union to encourage candlelight vigils outside Senate offices throughout the country. December 16th is the anniversary of the original Boston Tea Party, so we find it fitting that patriots on this day should continue to keep the fire of liberty lit. Please connect with other activists to organize a candlelight vigil if there isn't already one being planned in your area.

The limited government movement has made a huge impact on the public debate over health care this year. We have communicated through thousands of phone calls, emails, faxes and letters to our elected officials. We have marched in town squares, state capitals and right up to the steps of Congress in defiance of big government. Public opinion polls show a sharp decline in support of Obamacare, and the politicians that are pushing it in Congress. The more time that people have to read about the legislation, the less they like it. We are making a huge impact in this debate, and we can't let up now! Thank you for joining us these last few weeks of the year as we rally one more time to say NO to a government takeover of health care, and NO to an ever-increasing federal government.

In liberty,
Kibbe Signature

Here in Massachusetts we had a special election primary this past Tuesday in order to fill Ted Kennedy's vacated seat in the US senate. Most people believe that we must wait until November 2010 to send a message to the entrenched political elite of DC. I believe that a unique opportunity exists to send an early warning message on 1/19/2010 when Massachusetts holds the run-off election for this contested senate seat. Think of the incredibly powerful message sent if Massachusetts sends a Republican to the senate to replace Kennedy.
We in Massachusetts will definitely benefit from the election of Scott Brown to the Senate. But I think the election of a Republican to Kennedy's senate seat, from the very liberal state of Massachusetts, has the potential to effect national politics. If you are inclined to help us send a political "pink slip" to the Democrats, that would have national repercussions, please consider financially supporting the cause. Scott Brown's link is below.
