UPDATES ON Stimulus Everyone needs to know

From W.A.M. - Laudits to Sen. Thune (GOP/SD) for attempting to stop the HR1 Catastrophe. Voted down 36 to 61 he offered an amendment that the entire bill be scrapped and its funds be redirected to middle class tax rebates in an equal amount. Imagine how much more that would do to really stimulate the economy!

Most credit due to Senator Vitter (GOP/LA) for his also defeated amendment (45 to 51) to prevent $$ 2.2 BILLION DOLLARS of HR1 from funding A.C.O.R.N. - in the guise of "neighborhood stabilization programs!" This measure doesn't help the economy. It threatens US further as A.C.O.R.N. (now under indictment in numerous states for the vote fraud that swept Obama into office) contributed to the banking and housing collapse through its aggressive demands of unfit housing loans.) And that was only the beginning of their Master Plan!

BIGGEST DISGRACE: GOP Senate support is absolutely necessary for this package of corruption and subterfuge to pass.

Currently these 3 GOP Senators are indicating a potential to likely YES Vote on HR1. They are:

Republican Senators COLLINS AND SNOWE of MAINE and Republican Senator SPECTRE of Pennyslvania.

If they do so, we will all be subjected to dangerous laws hidden in this Socialist Stimulus for Obama backers! (See contents of W.A.M. message to Senators below for details.)

Your W.A.M. ACTION is URGENT this weekend.

If you have not yet contacted Congress with your feedback about HR1, please do so now! Moveon and Obama's other octopus arms are running a massive DIRECT CONTACT campaign to the SENATE in support of this TROJAN HORSE. Make your Voice Heard!

W.A.M. has prepared FAX letters & quick Voice Mails in your exclusive downloads- which address the real issues of worst dangers of HR1. Don't be fooled by Mass Media - all the billions in pork is the least of our worries - other than buying up Congressional votes what the pork really does is act as a cover for HR1 real agenda!

If you can, go to your W.A.M. downloads now to send a quick FAX and/or CALL the 3 Critical Senators above and your own state's. Along with quick send materials, you will find direct contact information for directly reaching Congress.

If you don't have time to PHONE AND FAX, below is a prepared EMAIL MESSAGE and the links to send it NOW to each of these 3 pivotal politicians:

Your follow-through on these quick email sends is a short cut for expressing your resistance as a voter and the WORST REASONS why! (Of course, you can also adapt this message to suit.)

NoStimulus.com down

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

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.
