Rec'd a comment on past blog saying the www.nostimulus.com site was down. Checked, verified. It's down. Not sure if it was hacked or overwhelmed by traffic. I'm trying to find out.
In the meantime you can visit www.readthestimulus.org to keep up with the latest.
Two groups (that I'm involved with, I know there are more) are hitting this one hard and heavy: www.TopConservativesonTwitter.com and www.WAM08.org.
Both have action groups specifically targeting stopping the stimulus and have great resources.
WAM is having a televent tonight at 8:30 p.m. (info in previous blog). TCOT has set up an action group "Move Over MoveON". They have a Ning site: http://tcotprojects.ning.com/group/operationmoveovermoveonorg with all the info you need to contact your elected spenders.
Another great thing happening is the modern "Tea Party". I popped some info on a prior blog about that one.
And... while stopping the stimulus package is certainly top priority, don't forget Sarah Palin has a birthday coming up on Feb. 11th. Take the time to send her a birthday card. http://www.readmylipsticknetwork.com/sarah_palin/birthday.htm

STOP the "American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009"
This week, the Senate is scheduled to consider the economic stimulus bill. It passed the House last week as H.R. 1, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 with NO support from Republicans. Its cost per family is about $4,300.
BAD IDEAS - "THE DEVIL IN DISGUISE"
The hidden liberal policy agenda inside the 'stimulus bill':
Over $142 Billion in Federal education funds: Nearly double the total outlays for the Department of Education in 2007 - making good on Reid-Pelosi-Obama education promises to the NEA.
$87 Billion Medicaid bailout: If we keep bailing states out without any accountability, they will have every incentive to continue irresponsible spending. It forces fiscally responsible taxpayers in states, like Indiana, to pay for the fiscally irresponsible decisions, by bureaucrats, in states like Illinois.
Expanded Medicaid coverage and SCHIP: Congress is using the stimulus to push forward their liberal health care agenda. This incremental strategy will ultimately move the country closer to the tipping point where government will control more health care spending than the private sector - leaving individuals and families with less control over their personal health care decisions.
Green Jobs?: The myth of 'green jobs' merely means replacing one job lost, with a new job that fits the left's agenda. It is a zero sum game. More than doubling spending, the stimulus also has over $35 billion for the Dept. of Energy. DOE's current budget is $23.8 billion.
Redistribution: Refundable "Make Work Pay" Tax Credits for people who don't pay taxes.
Pork Spending: TV Coupons ($650 M), Nat'l Endowment for the Arts ($50 M), Hollywood ($246 M.)
Stop this spending bill! Call your Senators (Republican and Democrat) and tell them to vote "NO" on this bill.

Wake Up America Movement Hosts Televent
To be included in the Televent send an email to joinwam@wamtoday.org and tell them you read about the event on here and would like to be included. Include your name and state please.
AN URGENT ALERT TO ALL CONCERNED WITH OUR COUNTRY'S ECONOMIC SURVIVAL
TELEVENT: HOW TO BE PART OF THE SOLUTION - MONDAY FEBRUARY 2 8:30 - 9:30 ET
We all know that without the brainwashing of the American public - by the mass MEDIA -Obama wouldnot be in the White House. Now we are confronted with the ongoing MSM cover-up of the facts of the so-called "Stimulus Plan". The secrets being kept include:
* the fact that the current bill's 600 pages include mountains of special interest expenditures, campaign pay-offs and other costly measures which have nothing at all to do with "stimulating the Economy."
* not only does this bill - HR1 - multiply the staggering debt of the T.A.R.P. funds previously agreed to and already of doubtful outcome. This next step spending spree is ONLY THE BEGINNING. The entire "Obama Recovery Plan" is actually composed of TEN NEW PIECES of LEGISLATION - of which this TRILLION DOLLARS of debt is barely the tip of the iceberg!
* also this week, with no MEDIA scrutiny, the SENATE SAILED THROUGH THE NEW SCHIP PROGRAM which spends millions more to ensure the healthy birth and ongoing health care of children of ALIENS. This, despite the fact that forecasts now indicate our health care system is not equipped for this burden.
The general public is ill-informed of the FACTS & DETAILS of what has been spent and WHO it will help or HOW it can be expected to serve the CRITICAL PURPOSE of resolving the real-estate crisis or creating the jobs we need! It's no exaggeration to say that Americans are being swindled by our own government!
There is only one way to circumvent the MEDIA's cover-up of Washington's current INSANITY - WE MUST BECOME THE MEDIA - and SPREAD the TRUTH ourselves - in well coordinated ways for maximum impact and influence on current events.
JOIN this TeleEvent to learn a STRATEGY that really will work to correct the public ignorance while there is still time to mobilize middle-class America to STAND UP FOR OUR RIGHTS to FAIR REFLECTION by our Washington officials. Your ACTION is needed to preserve our democracy - but not all courses of action are equal. Just complaining and protesting won't achieve needed REFORMS.
As part of W.A.M. Strategic MEDIA REFORM PROGRAM, you'll be at the leading edge of the real facts as they unfold - and your coordinated ACTIONS on the MEDIA will make a real difference!
Take the time for this STRATEGIC CONFERENCE to urgently change the public perception and reaction to Obama's big socialist game plan. Efforts without a plan are futile and ineffective. Cooperative involvement of those who know enough to care and care enough to know make all the difference.
W.A.M. knows you care - join this Event to be "in the know" and make your Voice heard!
REMEMBER THE FUTURE IS UP TO YOU & NOW IS THE TIME WE MUST SHIFT ITS COURSE.

If you're on Twitter... get involved with Top Conservative on Twitter
Top Conservatives on Twitter (www.topconservativesontwitter.com) is growing and they are acting. If you go to the site you'll see they have a number of action projects. One that I'm involved in is the one to stop the spending bill.
If you're not on Twitter, check out the "101 on Twitter" on the left sidebar. It may seem overwhelming at first, but soon you'll be tweetin' with the best of them. Put #TCOT in your profile, sign up on the TCOT website and you'll make friends fast.
I encourage you to sign up for one or more of their action projects. You know I've been doing all I can to stop the "stimulus" package. The Democrats are using the bad economy to push through every pet project and entitlement program imaginable in the guise of a "stimulus" package.
I know I'm preaching to the choir. Most of you KNOW this is bad for our country, it's bad for democracy and it's bad for the economy in the long run.
Another group that is working hard and doing great work in fighting the stimulus plan is W.A.M. (Wake Up America Movement). You'll find them at www.wam08.org. Sign up on the site. They send out great info and are working hard to protect our freedoms.
Here's a few stories on the stimulus that popped up today. When contacting your Senator regarding voting NO for the stimulus package, be sure to call your Governor, too. It seems some of them are pressuring Congress to vote yes... Geez. Short sited to say the least.
GOP governors press Congress to pass stimulus bill
Most Republican governors have broken with their GOP colleagues in Congress and are pushing for passage of President Barack Obama's economic aid plan that would send billions to states for education, public works and health care. Their state treasuries drained by the financial crisis, governors would welcome the money from Capitol Hill, where GOP lawmakers are more skeptical of Obama's spending priorities.

Debunking the Myth that Government Spending Stimulates the Economy
Several years ago, the Media Research Center joined with then-Cato economist Stephen Moore (now with the Wall Street Journal) on a book “Dollars and Nonsense” debunking the news media’s top ten economic myths. First on the list was the canard that government spending and deficits stimulate the economy, a premise demolished in an essay written by the Nobel-prize winning economist Milton Friedman.

Obama presses Senate on stimulus
President Obama pressed the Senate to move quickly on his massive economic-stimulus plan, saying Saturday that Americans "have little patience" for political bickering and noting that while the bill isn't perfect, it can jump-start job creation.

Stop the Abortion Bailout
A message to all members of Team Sarah
December 19, 2008
Dear Team Sarah,
Tired of bailouts? Well they aren't going away anytime soon. Now the abortion industry wants one!
We all knew that Planned Parenthood (the number one abortion provider in the country) was going to have a special seat at the table in the Obama administration. Well it hasn't taken them long at all to roll out their extreme agenda.
Tell your Senator today that Planned Parenthood should not get a bailout. Go to www.stoptheabortionbailout.com.
Abortion groups have submitted their 50 page proposal to the Obama-Biden transition team. At the top of the list? More taxpayer dollars for abortion organizations like Planned Parenthood. How much more? Over 1.5 billion dollars more!
The Abortion Bailout Package:
**$1 BILLION dollars in taxpayer funding for International Abortion Groups like UNFPA, an international aid organization connected to coercive abortion as part of China's coercive one-child policy
**$700 million in taxpayer funding for "Title X" Health Clinics (aka your local Planned Parenthood affiliate)
**Repeal the Hyde Amendment -- Vastly expanding federal taxpayer funding for abortions
**Include Abortion coverage in any taxpayer-subsidized national health care program
**Expand taxpayer-funded abortions through the Peace Corps program
It is an outrage for Planned Parenthood to expect you to give your hard earned dollars to fund the destruction of innocent life.
Join citizens across our great country in telling their Senators to keep your tax dollars out of the abortion providers.
Tell them to Stop the Abortion Bailout! Sign the Petition today!
