CAN YOU HEAR US NOW?

Today I saw something I thought I would never see. Thousands, no MILLIONS, about 2 Million people according to ABC News and CNN, marching on Washington protesting the government's deficit spending trillions at a time, Obamacare which will eventually eliminate private health insurance, and the resulting higher taxes as if we're not paying enough now. I was very happy to see the turnout, and see the area from the Capitol building all the way to the Washington monument completely filled with Americans who are fed up with the government's reckless spending. I haven't seen anything like that since, I guess since Dr. Martin Luther King was in Washington. News reports stated that the expressways around Washington were closed due to the numbers.

People are fed up and have been for years, but are now fed up enough to push back. The American people are discovering the power they wield as voters and citizens, and they are using it.

If the Democrats in Washington want to keep their jobs, they better listen to us. The potential exists for many of them, along with any RINO's, to be voted out in the midterm elections next year. Americans are sending a message. The message is loud and clear, and definitely represents the majority.

But this administration continues to ignore us. We all heard Obama during his speech to Congress this week make the threat that if anyone disagreed with him, he would call them out. Well, Mr. President, here we are. We're calling your hand.

And don't think the Obama administration isn't in serious panic mode now. The dissention continues to grow. I said it in a previous post, and I'll say it again: WE'RE HERE, AND WE'RE NOT GOING AWAY.

Though today's rally was awesome, we must continue from here and keep fighting. Keep on bombarding your Senators and Representatives as well as the White House. Click HERE to get contact information for The White House and your Senators and Representatives. Tell them you're fed up and you vote!

WANT TO KNOW WHAT AMERICANS THINK ABOUT THE STIMULUS PLAN?

I was wondering how Americans felt about the trillion-dollar so-called economic stimulus plan now that it has passed Congress and is headed for President Obama's signature. Remember that just a couple of weeks ago, a little over half of us, around 52-3% and according to the latest GALLUP poll published on February 11, 2009, public support had risen to 59%, mainly among Democrats,, were in favor of it. I checked out RASMUSSEN, and the results were surprising. The people Rasmussen contacted for the poll were voters. Here it is:

38% believe it will help the economy, 29% believe it will hurt it, and 24% believe it will have little impact. I couldn't find anything more current on the Gallup poll site than what I cited above.

AND . . . consumer confidence, which has been declining since early 2008, CONTINUED to fall to a record low AFTER passage of the plan. Apparently, John Q. Consumer isn't buying into the hype.

At any rate, that is a HUGE drop in very short period of time. It appears that voters looked at it and saw all the pork in for themselves. The major news sources have been detailing the pet projects that don't have anything to with the economy, and one broadcast I heard told about STIMULUSWATCH.ORG. Personally, I'm very surprised. Americans have traditionally not bothered to research things out, even with the ease at which it's available now. That's how Washington has "traditionally" gotten away with any and everything.

I'm sure President Obama, the Democrats in Congress, and the RINO's in Congress that voted for it are very well aware of these figures. They should be. Get this: 32% of the voters polled said they were more likely to vote for someone who supported the plan in Congress, and 35% said they were less likely to vote for someone who supported the plan in Congress. 35% is A LOT of votes. That can seriously cost some Congressmen and women their seats.

It seems that more and more voters are becoming disenchanted with the Obama administration's supposed remedy for our economy. There's no doubt that these voters included those who voted for Obama. I think there a lot of people who voted for Obama, but did not vote for the things he's doing. If that's the case, people should have paid more attention to Obama's campaign. Even though he's broken a number of promises already, he was quite clear about what he would do as President on many things. I think it just didn't register with a lot people, and now it may be.

I agree with the 29% and 24%. I think at the very least it won't make much difference. After having reviewed a lot of the plan myself, and watching newscasts on it, it's easy to see that it's mostly a huge spending bill except for about 7% of it. If this "plan" makes the economy worse, the Democrats (and the three RINOs) will totally own it. There won't be anyone else to blame since they have the majority in Congress and the White House. But, of course, the mainstream media will help the Obama administration spin it as a result of (here's that famous overworked phrase) "the last eight years."
