I'll chip in my tax dollars to defeat them. When its all said and done....that's really what's at stake here.

Liberty now or liberty never again. They must be defeated in this quest of theirs to ruin once and for all the America we have and the America we want.

Who's with me?

1. Im with you
part of getting this vote is because I believe our country needs it, another part is to show the crooks that their ideas no longer rule, we have won.

8. I have a fear that $800b stimulus is simply trading severe economic crash today...
... for really, really severe economic crash in three years.

At some point our debt becomes so large that creditors realize we have no intention of repayment. At that point, "backed by the full faith and credit of the USA" no longer has much meaning, and the dollar loses any value it may currently have.

Our budget is like the 800# guy who can no longer get out of his house saying; "one of these days I need to get serious about exercise". Uh, with all due respect, you're past the point at which you need to worry about getting fat.

Your personal share of the US debt is $35,000. I think we're past the point at which we should worry about getting our financial house in order. We should worry about the punishment for having failed.

7. There might be one way we can help President Obama get this passed.
The Union often buys full page adds in newspapers to support their goals. Wouldn't full page adds in all of these pugs local newspapers be a good tool? Also the blue dog dems who oppose this. Enough. Maybe the Union would even be willing to take donations to do this now.
