Stand Up With Bachmann Nov 5th
Posted by IronBard on October 31, 2009 · 24 Comments
The time no longer draws nigh… the time is upon us. The future of our Country teeters on the fulcrum of freedom.
We’ve been going to Tea Parties, Townhalls, and Council meetings. We’ve been writing on our blogs and venting our frustrations in blasts of 140 characters or less. We’ve been calling, writing, faxing our Congress; talking to neighbors, friends, and family. We’ve been protesting outside media outlets, local, State, and Federal offices. We’ve been begging for our elected leaders to hear us. And now, one of those leaders has not only heard us but has answered us by opening the door to the House and inviting us to enter. If we don’t accept her invitation and cross that threshold we deserve exactly what we will get: an ObamaNation.
Few members of Congress have taken our pleas seriously. We have been called tea baggers, astroturfers, radicals, and extremists. If loving my Country and the freedom she stands for means I am all of those of things then so be it. I wear those epithets proudly.
Our Country is being usurped and unless we take our stand now, she could be irretrievably abducted. Michele Bachmann is right. Speaker Pelosi’s Health Care bill is the crown jewel of socialism. Progressives, aka Repressives, have always known that to take over a people it has to be done in the dark of night while they lay sleeping. For too long Americans have slumbered in their freedom. We became an apathetic people not wishing to see the light that was being snuffed out of our Constitution. Pelosi’s Health Care bill has little to do with actual health and everything to do with socialism and the corruption it is founded on. And this coming week, our freedom will slip from our grasp and onto the floor of the House of Representatives if we let it.
We can stop this. But it will take more than phone calls, letter, and faxes. We have to show up on the steps of the Capitol on Thursday, November 5, 2009 and storm thru the hallways of our elected officials. We have to knock them from their self-erected thrones and show them we say what we mean and mean what we say. Unless we heed Rep. Bachmann’s call to action then the freedoms we grew up with, the freedoms our fathers, grandfathers, and Founding Fathers fought hard to attain for us will be gone. And unless we heed her call, we deserve what we get.
The time is now. If we put this off because of our responsibilities at home, then we will lose the liberty to attend to those responsibilities. We will no longer be working to provide for our families. We will no longer be striving for our own goals. We will no longer be free to follow the path of self-determination. If we don’t heed the call, everything from here on out we will be doing for our government; not our Country… our government- and all the connotations that surround a socialized institution.
This is it. This is our moment in time. This is that point in history for which we will be judged by our children, grandchildren, and all who follow. We can turn this bloodless revolution around and save our country now or we can risk time and wait until it is too late to save it peacefully.
I will be joining Rep. Bachmann on the Capitol steps and I will march thru the hallways of Congress. I will also be taking copies of the 5 Pledges for each member of Congress to sign. For those who refuse to sign, I will publish their names and their comments.
I will not let this country’s cornerstone – The Constitution – be destroyed by corrupt men and women whose only goal is greed and power over the very people who put them in office. If you don’t stand up now, while standing up is still possible, when will you?

UPDATE-10/31/09
Per Rep. Bachmann’s site:
Make a House Call on Congress on November 5th and Stop the Government Take Over of Health Care!
November 5th, 2009
Democrat leadership in the House wants to pass a government run health care bill before Veteran’s Day, and it’s up to us to make sure this prescription for socialized medicine doesn’t pass.
If you can come to Washington to look your Member straight in the eye and tell them to keep their hands off your heatlh care, do it. If you can’t make it to Washington, go to your Member’s district office. And, if you can’t do that at least call and email.
Also, Americans for Prosperity is organizing a House Call to legislators district offices on Thursday at noon, and I encourage you to check out their website at www.americansforprosperity.org to see how you can take part in their efforts if you can’t make it to D.C.
Thanks so much and let’s keep up the fight!
Those who are going to DC on Thursday, please email your name to admin@saveourcountrynow.net so that we all can make arrangements to meet and show up in force.

Thou Shalt Not Covet Your Neighbor’s House
02/20/09
I like my neighbor’s house. It’s a nice two story with four bedrooms, three baths, gourmet kitchen, and it has a pool! I like it so much I think I will go change the locks and move into it myself. Sound absurd? Not if you are ACORN. They are training people in cities throughout the country how to “peacefully” protest foreclosure by “taking back” foreclosed homes. Some might cheer and say, “Yea! Stick it to the evil banker!” However, they aren’t protesting at the banks. They are breaking the locks off foreclosed homes, taking possession of the homes, and changing the locks. These homes don’t belong to them! Hell, they even don’t even belong to the banks. As you will see in the video below, this particular house had been sold and the new owners were in the process of renovating the house. And this is being called a “peaceful protest.” The ACORN rep interviewed called it trespassing. I call it breaking and entering.
When you listen to the reporter, you will hear that the house was foreclosed on back in September. Also, that it was foreclosed because the owner couldn’t make the payment after it went up by $300. In her words, she tried to get it refinanced but the bank said no. I’m not an accountant nor am I a banker, but if someone can’t afford an additional $300 they probably couldn’t afford the original payment either. Not to mention that ACORN was calling this woman’s circumstance an example of predatory lending. Um… excuse me?

ACORN has already shown that it can rig elections. ACORN peddles Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. ACORN has forced banks to make bad mortgage loans. And now ACORN is training people to steal houses. And we, the people, are paying them to do it. Lest we forget, ACORN stands to receive billions from the stimulus bill which contains $1 billion for “community development block grants” and $2 billion for the “provision of emergency assistance for the redevelopment of abandoned and foreclosed homes.” Where is the outrage?
