American Protesters Driven by Belief in Less Government, More Freedom and Hands off our Health Care

Nancy Snyder says she kept quiet when abortion was legalized and prayer in schools was eliminated. Not this time.

“They did it for prayer, they did it for abortion, and they’re not going to do it for our health care,” the 70-year-old nurse from Philipsburg, Pa., said Wednesday as she and her husband Robert, 74, a retired coal miner, waited in a long, snaking line for Democratic Sen. Arlen Specter’s town hall meeting.

“We’re not standing back this time,” Snyder said.

Instead, the Snyders and many Americans like them are adding their voices to a populist backlash evident in the taunts, jeers and rants at lawmakers’ health care forums around the country in the past week and a half. The contentious sessions highlight the difficulty for President Barack Obama and the Democrats as they push for a comprehensive remaking of the nation’s health care system.

“You have awakened a sleeping giant,” one woman told Specter at a town hall meeting he held Tuesday in Lebanon, Pa. Read Much More

Americans making their voice heard

Yes I agree that Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and the Obama administration has awakened a sleeping giant that is growing larger each and every day that the Democrats has cotton in their ears. Come 2010 these Democrats will reap what they sow and get removed from congress by this giant made up of Americans from all walks of life, including some from all the political parties many protesting for the first time.

Freedom In The 50 States, Let Freedom Ring

Freedom in the 50 States: Index of Personal and Economic Freedom

We find that the freest states in the country are New Hampshire, Colorado, and South Dakota, which together achieve a virtual tie for first place. All three states feature low taxes and government spending and middling levels of regulation and paternalism. New York is the least free by a considerable margin, followed by New Jersey, Rhode Island, California and Maryland. On personal freedom alone, Alaska is the clear winner, while Maryland brings up the rear. As for freedom in the different regions of the country, the Mountain and West North Central regions are the freest overall while the Middle Atlantic lags far behind on both economic and personal freedom.

Let Freedom ring, vote the democrats out of congress and keep them out until they decide to start listening to the people!

Did Obama Lie at Townhall Meeting in Portsmouth, N.H. ? You decide!

A group usually seen as one of Barack Obama’s allies in the healthcare debate AARP says the president went too far Tuesday when he said the seniors lobby had endorsed the legislation pending in Congress.

AARP is sensitive to the issue because polls show that Medicare beneficiaries are worried their health care program will be cut to subsidize coverage for the uninsured.

At the town hall in Portsmouth, N.H., Obama said, “We have the AARP onboard because they know this is a good deal for our seniors.” He added, “AARP would not be endorsing a bill if it was undermining Medicare.”

But Tom Nelson, AARP’s chief operating officer, said, “Indications that we have endorsed any of the major healthcare reform bills currently under consideration in Congress are inaccurate.” Read More

This isn’t the first time that Obama has said someone was endorsing his policies when in fact they were not! Why does the man have to lie so much? He’s not a good example for our young people now is he?
