TELL REPRESENTATIVE KOSMAS ~ WE WILL BE HEARD!

TOWN HALL MEETING NOTICE

Do you live in Florida’s 24th Congressional District?

Do you believe that your voice is ignored by Rep. Suzanne Kosmas?

In fact, since her election, Suzanne Kosmas has not held a single town hall meeting providing any accountability to the people of the 24th District.

 

Ok, what has she done since she was elected?

  •  She has failed us miserably by voting for huge deficit spending that adds to our already   overwhelming National Debt, payable by us and our children.
  •  She has failed us miserably by voting to increase the power and size of an already over-burdensome and non-accountable Federal Government.
  •  She has failed us miserably by voting in favor of a failed and pork-filled stimulus scheme & a bloated, pork-filled budget.
  •  She has failed us miserably by voting in favor of a “cap & trade” tax scheme that would increase cost of all produced goods, utilities and gasoline for everyone.
  • She again failed us miserably by voting “yea” on a job killing, budget busting, liberty robbing, government growing, health care scheme opposed by the majority.
  • Were all that not enough, unemployment in the state of Florida has risen 50% from an level in January 09 to over 12.2% in February 2010, all on her watch.

It’s time to hold her accountable for her votes, and since she

refuses to meet WITH us, we will be sure that she hears FROM us!

Come to the 24th Congressional District Town Hall and be heard. Make comments and ask questions as you would in any typical town hall setting. We will feature an empty podium with Rep. Kosmas nameplate on it as a symbol of how she has turned a deaf ear to our district and our will. We will have the entire meeting recorded on video to share with Rep Kosmas and to post on “youtube” (and other sites). We believe it’s important to document how we feel about her  non-representation of us, and to share that with media outlets and the voters in our district between now and Election Day.

 WHEN:

Friday, April 9th 2010 – 7PM to 9:15

WHERE:

Oviedo Memorial Building (Next to the Firehouse – Downtown Oviedo) 38 S. Central Avenue Oviedo, FL 32765

 

 

Obama’s Approval Rating is in Free Fall Cue Tom Petty

The latest news is dreadful for the Obama administration and wonderful for those of us who care about this country and the founding principles it was built upon. 

Obama’s approval rating over the last couple of days is in free fall.  Rasmussen reported yesterday that his approval rating had dropped a full percentage point (-5) – which is huge for one day and usually indicates a trend.  Today’s report showed that Obama was at -8 making those who approve 51% and those opposed 48%.  The writing is on the wall and I think that other leaders in the conservative movement may have read these signs in advance – making their decisions that much easier. 

If Obama’s approval drops below 50% it will be incredibly difficult to get it over that point again – barring some miracle, economically speaking.  The chances of economic improvement are minimal and his empty slogan of hope and change is ringing hollow on the masses.  The economy does not look as though it will improve any time soon due to massive amounts of spending, a war waged against the middle class and small businesses, and the private sector, we will be in a massive downturn for a couple of years – inflation will be inevitable.  The chances of him surviving another term if he enacts legislation that would drastically dismantle the foundation this country was built upon, are slim-to-none.

Two swing states that turned blue last year were also polled.  The trend that is occurring at a national level is also occurring at the local level.  Both Ohio’s and Virginia’s approval ratings for Obama are below 50%. 

It will only be a matter of time before his personal approval rating comes down along with it!  My guess: October; when unemployment is worse, the market has taken another massive nose-dive (and it will – it will go lower than it did the first quarter of this year), and inflation hits.  

ObamaCare Explained Through Legos

It’s important to remember that Massachusetts had a Republican governor at the helm, who proposed the same type of system that Obama is proposing.  As much as those out there argue that the governor’s plan was taken to extremes by the next liberal administration – that still does not excuse the fact that a progressive politician (be it Republican or Democrat) set in motion a piece of legislation that harms more than it helps.  The same could be said for Bush’s ‘No Child Left Behind Act.’  It was still Bush’s idea and he pushed for the legislation, even after it was made into something unintended. 

A recent study released from Massachusetts showed that only 26% felt that the state’s universal health care program worked.  Those who actually were the poorest and previously did not have health care, liked the program the least.  Progressives want people to believe that billions of people are without health care, when that’s not the case, and the few million who don’t have it, are either here illegally, choose not to use one of the many programs in existence that offers health care, or are fine with going to the emergency rooms in hospitals. 

Make no bones about it, Obama wants his way or it’s the highway.  He WON remember?  Get over it!  He doesn’t want to compromise on the health care debate, and he made that point abundantly clear today, even from overseas.  He told the moderate Democrats in Congress that he does not want a compromise with Republicans… He wants exactly what he proposed.  Smoke and mirrors legislation that looks as though the program is competitive, but would eventually make it too expensive for small and medium sized business to carry insurance for their employees.  The government cannot compete with the private sector – it always wins.

Democrat Wives Have Their Hands in the Cookie Jar

William Jefferson, who was found with cash bribes in his freezer and was convicted of 16 counts of corruption on June 4, 2007 by a federal grand jury, is currently awaiting trial in Virginia after losing re-election. 

It would come as no surprise that a wife, living with a man hording cash in his freezer and taking bribes left and right, would be in the dark about her husband’s shady activities. 

Investigators had the same sentiments and upon further invesigtations found that she did in fact play a part in Jefferson’s scandals.

A firm owned by the wife of former U.S. Rep. William Jefferson, D-La., earned thousands of dollars but incurred no business expenses, an accountant said.

Jack Swetland, a New Orleans accountant who had worked with the Jeffersons since 1982, testified Monday at William Jefferson’s bribery and fraud trial in Alexandria, Va., The (New Orleans) Times-Picayune reported Tuesday.

Prosecutors allege Andrea Jefferson’s ANJ consulting firm was a shell company that accepted payments from companies who had sought William Jefferson’s help in brokering deals in West Africa.

John Conyers, head of the House Judiciary Committee, is having some family troubles.  His wife pleaded guilty to corruption and bribery charges last week.  We reported on the allegations earlier – here

Monica Conyers, the wife of the powerful chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, Rep. John Conyers, D-Mich., pleaded guilty to one count of bribery in a federal court in Detroit, this morning.

According to court documents, in late 2007, Mrs. Conyers, president pro tem of the Detroit City Council, twice accepted envelopes filled with cash, once in the parking lot of a Detroit McDonalds.

Mrs. Conyers faces up to 5 year in prison, three years supervised release and/or a $250,000 fine. Calls to an attorney for Mrs. Conyers were not immediately returned.

Wouldn’t you think that John Conyers, who recently said he would not investigate the corrupt activities of ACORN, due to the powers that be (which were him), should step down?  If a man’s wife is facing the possibility of up to 5 years in prison and has had to resign from the Detroit City Council, I do not believe that he should be anywhere near a Judiciary Committee.

The corruption is just astounding.  Big Government truly does breed Big Corruption!

Most States Lose Under Cap-and-Trade; Except Most of the Republican Turncoats’ States

Photobucket

Well, surprise, surprise/sarc… 6 out of the 8 members of the GOP turncoats came from the only states which are likely to see benefits from Cap and Trade (CA, WA, NY, NJ). I’m not surprised about Mark Kirk due to the contributions he received from Exelon Corp. (34.1K), who came out in support of cap and trade legislation and who have been a part of the Chicago political machine themselves. Heck, Exelon was even a bailout candidate!

Mike Castle is a little more head scratching. Delaware does not appear to make money off of this bill, granted they lose far less than other states. The only correlation that I can see is similar to Mike Kirk’s. There is possibly a Delaware business/entity which has ties with Joe Biden and will fare well due to this massive tax hike. The other explanation is where Mike Castle sits on the financial services committee and Wall Street (many of his donors) will make tons from this legislation.

Interesting to note, as well, is that red states will suffer the most.  Pay back time?  If red states lose money and constituents have nothing in their pockets there is a chance that our drug dealing government can swoop in and tempt you with their entitlement dope and try to get you hooked… More and more is starting to look less like a conspiracy.
