We are gaining against ObamaCare, but don't forget Cap & Trade. I was concerned our efforts might be fading around the Fourth of July Tea Parties because of the lack of coverage in the Media by their manipulation and ongoing propaganda efforts trying to minimize the People's efforts. The American People are becoming the fly in their new, all pupose ointment. I'm glad I was wrong in my momentary lack of faith. What we have since the beginning of the Tea Party Movement is a true growing grass roots ground swell against tyranny. But it's no time to be giddy, we have to increase our efforts because the enemy is relentless and out of touch with the new reality.
Contrary to reports in the Media, Specter's townhall meetings were very restrained and respectful, it's just the attendees asked tough questions and Specter simply stood there and couldn't fully comprehend what was going on. I watched rebroadcasts of two of the meetings which pointed out his clue less reading of the People's will. I also realized his mind was going as he continued to insist on Global Warming.
Why should this be of concern? We are only one casitng of votes in the Senate away from the Federal government taxing us for the weather and reducing us to lifetime paupery in the effort. The only ones who stand between us and that new imposed economic disaster are our senators. In Pennsylvania, that amounts to two of the Seven Dwarfs; namely (and lamely) Sens. Grumpy (Specter) and Goofy (Casey). This does not bode well for our future. As we spursue them on ObamaCare, we need to be just as persistent on Cap & Trade and the future taxing of our earnings for a fraud, coupled with a process where the Democrats in Congress don't even read their respective bills.
Only relentless pressure will push them to stop these inpending laws. Our efforts have to be a two prong attack. At least I don't have to worry about my representative. By the way, the composition of the two townhall meetings with Benedict Arlen was the same as the one I attended with Rep. Murphy (R. PA). Most of the attendees were not radicals, not rent a mobs like ACORN and union thugs; it was attended primarily by the elderly. When the liberal Democrats lose the Elderly, they will lose everything.
