Rep. Wally Herger on repealing Obamacare

From Rep. Wally Herger (R-CA) on America Speaking Out:

Rep. Herger tells us the American people have made it clear they don’t want Obamacare, via Town Halls last summer, calls and pleas to Speaker Pelosi and Sen. Harry Reid. But of course we all know it was rammed through any how.

The House Republicans have introduced a bill that would fully repeal Obamacare and replace it with common sense incremental solutions that would help bring down skyrocketing healthcare premiums by up to 20%. Rep. Herger also states we need to eliminate the job-killing tax increases, unaffordable new entitlements and unconstitutional mandates that will undermine America’s future prosperity.

The first few months of Obamacare have been marked by broken promises and bad results. But:

don’t quiet down. Keep speaking out and making your voice heard.

“Victory is the only option”

From the office of House GOP Leader John Boehner (OH).

While President Obama and Vice President Biden continue to seek credit for “ending the combat mission” in Iraq, this video praises the contributions of our troops for helping bring greater stability and security there — significant progress that was only made possible through a surge strategy most Democrats like the President and Vice President opposed. As the drawdown of troops in Iraq continues, House Republicans are grateful to all the men and women in uniform, as well as their families, for the courage and sacrifices they have made, and continue to make, to advance freedom abroad and strengthen our security here at home.

This writer believes this video speaks for itself.

OFA offering “internships” advancing Obama’s agenda, college credits included

I ran across an interesting little piece today. Actually, it was a tweet. And I don’t know about you guys, but I blew a cork when I saw it. Screen shot below:

Patrick OFA college credit

@PatickOFA tells us on his twitter bio he is the National Press Assistant for Obama’s organizing arm, Organizing for America. We all know what this group is about. So naturally I was pretty darn curious and followed the link and it brought me to this web page at OFA. Two screen shots for you. In case this goes to “URL heaven.”

OFA college credit 1

Last half of the page. Notice the highlighted portion. This writer’s addition:

OFA college credit 2 altered

College credit for an internship with Obama’s OFA.

OFA is offering a National Organizing Internship, connecting students all over the country with our organization on the ground, and working to make the change we fought so hard for in 2008 come to fruition. [sic]

If you would like to receive college credit [emphasis mine] for this program, please make arrangements with your school ahead of time.

So Mr. Obama, if one can receive college credit for working for the change YOU WANTED, does the reverse also hold true? Meaning can one receive college credit for working on the opposition side, FOR THE CHANGE WE WANT? Please tell me where to go to apply for that. I’ll be the first in line.

And note Obama is an “Equal Employment Opportunity” employer. Hey Obama, does that include us teabaggers?? Cuz if you turn me down, I’m gonna sue!! Just like you did Arizona. Count on it.

I asked a friend of mine about this who tells me she was able to receive college credit for internships she had done and what The Thief-In-Chief is offering is perfectly legal. I have a daughter who did internships both her junior and senior years of college and I questioned her about this as well. She told me the university she attended would not grant college credit for internships because it was not a requirement of the program. She also stated to me that other universities do grant college credit for internships if it is a requirement of their program, HOWEVER, it must usually be in their chosen field.

OK Obama. What chosen field could this possibly fall under? Thuggery, intimidation, lying, bribery? Etc., etc., etc? It is this writer’s belief that the Liar-in-Chief could be making a deliberate attempt to bamboozle college kids into working for him. To advance his agenda, I’m sure at minimal pay when they are gullible because “POTUS tells me I’m gonna get college credit. Whoo hoo!!”

All I can say is, caveat emptor. Buyer beware. Kids, you better check with your university first…

NBC/MSNBC & YouTube teamed with progressive orgs with financial ties to ACORN in 2008

Well folks, looks like I could be “peeling off” a few more here. Not only do conservatives have to contend with Obama’s OFA (Organizing for America), progressive orgs like MoveOn, SEIU, et al in massive Get Out the Vote (GOTV) efforts but now I’ve discovered to my chagrin that NBC, MSNBC and YouTube are in the mix. How did I get here? I’m not going to divulge all of my “Mrs. James Bond” tactics but it’s easier to just put it up on the screen in pictures. I started out by wanting to delve further into the ultra-progressive cell phone company CREDO which has donated over $65 million to progressive causes but got side-tracked when I discovered what I’m about to show you. CREDO had its beginnings from Working Assets:

Working Assets is a for-profit business that markets services, including phone services and credit cards, to a liberal demographic, and provides a small percentage of its annual profit to non-profit liberal and activist organizations.

And if you scroll down to the bottom of the page you will see that Drummond Pike was the co-founder.

Working Assests and Credo fund ACORN and it’s voter registration arm Project Vote. As the screen shots from 2007 and 2008 illustrate. Click to enlarge.

Here is Working Assets web page. Since a lot of these web pages tend to go to “URL heaven” I’m going to give you a screen shot of their “Activism Center.” Highlighting is mine. Redone CREDO Election Protection Note the above highlighted paragraph:

To further strengthen our democracy in the run-up to the 2008 election, we helped 2.5 million Americans register to vote and organized our landmark Election Protection program [emphasis mine] of volunteers, who fanned out across the U.S. to monitor polls and guarantee free and fair elections.

What many on the Right may not realize is that Election Protection and Election Administration are code words used by the Left to stop legitimate solutions to problems within our electoral system. Groups like ACORN and Project Vote have routinely sued Secretaries of State across the country to stop voter ID bills and prevent states from removing dead and inactive voters from the rolls. The term Election Protection is thrown around on the left as a way to convey what they like to portray as targeted attacks on minorities.

So I googled Election Protection and came up with this. Header is below:

Election Protection header

We get a list of all their member organizations. ACLU, Alliance for Justice et al. The Alliance for Justice members are mostly legal orgs but also contains Planned Parenthood and others protecting women’s abortion rights. SEIU as no surprise is on the member list but I didn’t screen shot it.

Now on to another screen shot of members:

CREDO as election partner - Copy

We see NAACP, Deepak Bhargava’s Center for Community Change, Color of Change and CREDO mobile.  However, if one scrolls down further we find these other “members.” And the mega-surprise for me here folks was, as you guessed it:

CREDO partners NBC - Copy

NBC News, MSNBC, and YouTube. Partners in a massive GOTV effort in 2008. Now if one scrolls way down to the bottom of the page you will see at the bottom left hand corner “follow us on twitter.” Their twitter handle is 866OURVOTE, AKA Election Protection. And if one spells that out in numbers, it is the contact phone number at the top of the Election Protection page. 866OURVOTE’s web page is Election Protection and here is a quote:

If you experience problems at the polls on Election Day(such as long lines, voter intimidation, suspicious behavior, machine malfunctions, registration errors, etc.) you can report it to us via text message or the web by using your Twitter account! (Don’t have one? Click here to sign-up.)

Now if you look at a tweet they put out on Nov. 5, 2008, one day after the election: (screen shot in case they pull the account…):

866Ourvote tweet - Copy

The URL leads you to this web page and I’ll give you a screen shot and a quote. Highlighting is mine:

Redone election protection

Washington, DC — Election Protection, the nation’s largest nonpartisan [emphasis mine] voter rights coalition, has fielded over 200,000 calls to its 1-866-OUR-VOTE hotline, including over 80,000 calls on Election Day alone. Questions and concerns from voters across the country – from the hotline, website and social networking sites like Twitter – were answered and acted upon by a network of over 10,000 trained volunteers across the country.

Nonpartisan? With members like ACLU, CREDO Mobile, SEIU, Color of Change, Center for Community Change? Come on guys, give me a break. For some reason this writer highly doubts with all these ultra-liberal progressive organizations involved in this massive GOTV effort their campaign slogan was “Vote McCain/Palin.”

Even though we all know Maddow, Olbermann and Matthews are full of drivel, it is still disturbing to this writer to find the names of NBC, MSNBC and YouTube as members of this “GOTV Coalition.”

Allegations of media bias have swirled around since before Obama was elected. Media outlets have been accused of ignoring stories and refusing to properly vet Obama and now with NBC, MSNBC and YouTube partners with OTHER leftist organizations to “protect elections” it’s easy to determine what side they are working for. Yes, this may have helped place a Man in the Oval Office in November of 2008.

FYI anyone interested in using CREDO Mobile they use Sprint service.

Rep. Duncan Hunter on securing our borders.

Congressman Duncan Hunter, (R-CA #52) represents San Diego county. He tells us on this video about the enormous challenges his state and county face as a result of illegal immigration. Taxpayers in California alone spend billions of dollars annually to subsidize illegals while smugglers continue to move freely between California and Mexico.

But other states, Texas and Arizona in particular face the same challenges. Let’s listen in:

Congressman Hunter tells us he has introduced the “Sanctuary City Prevention Act” in an attempt to stop US AG Eric Holder from challenging the Arizona Immigration law, which could take a lot of time to adjudicate. This act would require Holder to stop challenging the Arizona law until he sets forth a plan which would require sanctuary cities to adhere to the existing law.

In conclusion he states the federal government can no longer overlook its obligation to secure the border and enforce immigration laws in our communities and work places.
