I just don’t trust Obama

Tuesday, August 18th, 2009

Yesterday Obama said that he would take the public option for healthcare off the table; an obvious attempt to quiet the firestorm of citizen dissent across the country.  So, despite his rhetoric for the past several years to the contrary, I’m supposed to believe that he’s just throwing in the towel on this?  I don’t think so.

The American people are waking up to the political manipulations happening in Washington DC today, and as they rub the sleep from their eyes, are realizing that a healthcare plan, any healthcare plan, under government control will cost more than projected, allow for political quid pro quos, foster political strong-arm pressure, create market manipulation, and ultimately cost citizens in quality of care and cost seniors by devaluing their lives to save money.

Pelosi said that the house bill WILL have the public option.  The senate says they will look at healthcare coop angle.

What ever these crooks are doing it ain’t good for you and me.  The pressure needs to continue and government needs to understand that we don’t want them involved in our healthcare!

The difference between healthcare co-ops and a public option is only in who runs them.

Torch and Fork Sponsors 9/12 Projects

Monday, April 6th, 2009

Millions of Patriotic Americans are aware of the swell of 9/12 Projects all across America.  In case you have been too busy spring cleaning the bomb shelter or clinging to your guns and religion, the 9/12 projects are groups of American citizens, all across the country (now over 425,000).  These folks are the true heart and soul of America in my opinion.

Back in February, talk show host Glenn Beck spoke to a caller who was obviously distressed over the rapid fire changes the new administration and Congress was forcing down our throats.  The caller stated her case clearly but also said that she felt so alone and wondered if there was someone, anyone else that felt the way she did.  Glenn understood the callers concerns and vowed to prove to the caller that she was not alone. 

The next few weeks listeners were asked to consider 9 principles and 12 values and whether they were willing to commit to them. 

Then Glenn had a special broadcast in mid March announcing the 9/12 project.  The idea is for concerned citizens to meet with each other, communicate, plan, strategize, all to help steer the country back to the values and principles we believe in.

The 9/12 Projects are still in their infancy.  Most of the groups are planning “Tea-Parties” for April 15th (tax day).  As time passes they will no doubt be planning additional strategies.

Well, Torch and Fork is proud to say that we’ve been with the 9/12′ers right from the start and we’re proud of the work that they are doing for America.

Torch and Fork is offering sponsorship for your 9/12 group.  (There’s always going to be expenses.)  Groups that place a link to purchase Freedom Fighter Lapel Pins receive $1 for each pin purchased! 

If your group is interested, please contact me for details.  We need to set up a special ordering page for your group so the sales are properly registered.

Thanks again 9/12′ers for your service to your country!

People You Won’t See On The News

Wednesday, March 25th, 2009

While a handful of Acorn drones got plenty of exposure while they went on bus tours of former AIG employees there are thousands of people attending tea parties, protests and rallies across the country that you’ll never see on TV.

American citizens from coast to coast are beginning to stir, they are finding their voice and demanding to be heard! 

This really quite exciting to be a part of it, to experience the energy, to watch it all come together. 

While it’s great to see all the activity, it’s important to note that we’ve only begun.  We need to keep stirring the bucket, talking to friends and co-workers, attending rallies, calling Congress. 

I can see we’re already having some effect.  Arlen Specter has said that he will NOT support the Card Check Bill; that’s huge.  We now have enough on the right side (assuming we all stick together on this) and filibuster and kill it.

Obama’s First Six Weeks

Sunday, March 8th, 2009

President Obama’s first six weeks have been a disaster at best and kind of scary.

The good news is that the real patriots in the country are starting to awake. We need to understand that our Republic was never intended for disinterested citizens. We simply can’t count on people in Congress; there’s too much power, too much money at stake. The people need to get it back in control and keep it that way.

Come back and visit often.  Consider registering and writing your own articles here, or commenting on the ones already here.  We need to share our thoughts and ideas on how to fix this mess.

Study American History

Tuesday, March 3rd, 2009

Action step number one for American Freedom Fighters is to Study America’s History.

The United States has a unique and remarkable history.  Our founding fathers were brilliant in crafting our government and how it’s supposed to work. 

Generations of politicians later it seems to have morphed into something completely different. 

When you KNOW the truth about our constitution, bill of rights, our history; then NO one will be able to pull the wool over your eyes.  You can explain the truthful history of our great country to your children and grandchildren and thereby passing the promise of liberty from generation to generation.

The last time most of even pretended to take a look at this stuff was when were in grade school.  That was a long time ago and you will want to know more than names and dates; you’ll want to understand what they were thinking and their motivation.

Note: Choose your books carefully, some books that represent themselves as historical references have out and out lies and twisted viewpoints.  Unfortunatly, the library may not be the best source for your study materials; remember that libraries are government funded for the most part.  (Sigh, … this is so sad; having to warn you of such things.)

I have started my collection with two books written by William J. Bennett; America: The Last Best Hope Volumes I & II.  Bill Bennett is a former Secretary of Education (1985 to 1988) and the host of a radio program “Morning in America”.  I think he’s clear headed and honest. 

I’ll update this post with other recommended reading, your own thoughts are welcome.

Stimulus Bill Opposition

Monday, February 23rd, 2009

I think we did a pretty good job opposing the very reckless stimulus bill.  I’m especially proud of House Republicans that stood united against the bill.  It was just the democrats that voted for it in the House.

The Senate voted 60-38 for the bill, with RINO Senators Susan Collins (ME), Olympia Snowe (ME), and Arlen Specter, (PA) delivering the victory for Obama and the liberals.

The obvious split down party lines is is huge.  When the bill fails to deliver anything substantial to the general public, it will be crystal clear who is responsible.

Torch and Fork Freedom Fighters Action Step

  • Thank the Representatives and Senators that voted NO.
  • Tell all the rest how you feel about what they have done.

The Federal Capital Phone number is 202-224-3121.  The number is often busy these days but when they answer, ask to speak to the legislator of your choice.  You don’t often get to actually talk to them directly, but you can leave a message with their office staff.  It’s their job to listen, to take notes and pass your comments on.

I know I always felt that sending a regular letter in via US Mail would be better, but I found that Congressional mail security screening can actually delay delivery two to three weeks!

Sending email is getting more difficult unless you live in their district / state.  Members of Congress only want to accept email messages from their own constiuents.

FAX’ing is a great alternative.  You get the immediate delivery of an email combined with a physical piece of paper like a letter, your FAX is far more likely to get through the first time, and you can FAX to any member you want!

You can find a complete listing of all the members of Congress using this link – Contact Elected Officials: USA.gov.

You can actually read the bill at http://thomas.loc.gov/  Right now a link to the bill is on the front page.  They may take that link down in the future, so just do a search for bill number HR1.
