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.

ANOTHER Fantastic New Member
So many, many are coming out to support the wonderful Sarah Palin and the next great President of the United States, John McCain! If you've been on Team Sarah lately it is growing so fast it crashed the system for a short period of time! I just heard a bit more about the polls on this morning's talk shows and, although I discounted them before, I really discount them now!
One thing I found interesting was a short piece on the actual coverage from the media on the campaign. It showed what we have all known, Barack Obama gets a pass and John McCain has been dumped on to the tune of almost triple the percentages. Duh. We don't need an independent group telling us that, we've all turned off mainstream media because of their open bias.
Anyway, we have a new member! Please add Meet the Real Sarah Palin (http://sarah-palin-2008.blogspot.com/) to your sidebars, blog rolls, blog lists, the blogs you're following, etc.
Our blogroll is working but we're still unable to add blogs to it or make any changes. Some nasty stupid hacker took it down, they got it back but they're unable to let us make changes right now. They're re-working the system to try and fix the areas hackers can hit.
As soon as it's back up we'll get the last four or five new members added.
Call your friends, call your enemies! Get the vote out for John McCain. Let the silent majority speak and let's not lose our country to someone who's going to take from those who've worked their tails off to make the American dream a reality so they can give it to those who live with their hands out.
I'm not talking about those who work and try, I'm talking about those who expect hand-outs and live on them. All statistics show that Republicans GIVE more than Democrats. We are a caring group of folks who live what the other side talks. There's a false picture that has been painted about us that has nothing to do with reality.
Time is short and John McCain needs your enthusiasm! The country and those American values that built this country need your enthusiasm!

Another great network to add to your blogs!
Hopefully everyone in our blog list is supporting American Solutions, Drill Here Drill Now and similar initiatives! If you're not then you might not want to have the following added to your side bar, but I'm betting most if not all on our roll are supporters. If you see the list after posting and your blog is not listed, please let me know and I'll send an email.
The Read My Lipstick Network has joined the American Solutions Independent Blog Roll and most of us are already listed on their roll as I type (wow, they're fast!).
If you will and would, please add the following code to your sidebar to promote the initiative:

I rode around this morning looking for gas and had to go past ten or so gas stations before I found one that actually had gas. I know it's a result of Hurricane Ike, but if we were drilling like we could then I imagine we'd have back-up systems and we wouldn't be dependent on other countries to supply our needs, or be knocked for a loop when a hurricane takes out a few platforms. The initiative that was just passed in Washington, if it makes it all the way through, isn't going to help and it certainly isn't going to get us any gas in the short term. If you're unsure how you feel about this, visit here: http://www.americansolutions.com/actioncenter/petitions/?Guid=54ec6e43-75a8-445b-aa7b-346a1e096659, read all about the issue and then sign the petition if you're willing! Let's get things moving, lets support John McCain and Sarah Palin and get our gas!
