		<description><![CDATA[We have a vital and critical mission and little time to achieve it before the total overnight Black Friday Supernova implosion, my patriotic friend.  Every organization seems to agree that we need to get together, but do all “freedom” organizations agree that the Government should be compelled to obey the full force and ‘effect’ of law? – Meaning only handle the SEVENTEEN things allowed by law.  That my friend is the question.  The answer to that, , ,   is the answer to restoration of our individual freedom, liberty and prosperity.  The Constitution is not a menu from which each of us can pick and choose which parts meets or personal or business preferences.  It is an all or nothing document, meant to be that way to avoid that of which we now find ourselves.  I think this question should be the first order of business at the meeting / gathering of our various organizations.]]></description>

This is shear madness, and with this madness is sure to come Obama&#8217;s “<strong>final ultimatum</strong>” to forgo our Constitution in favor of a one world currency, shortly followed by a one world Government, for the sake of stabilizing and maintaining the Matrix like world that exists around us because we have been brainwashed to actually believe that pieces of paper and ink are worth 100 cents, when in reality they are actually worth more like 2 – 3 cents, which will be realized in a period of hyper-inflation yet to come.</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>The same groups who made the &#8220;tax tea parties&#8221; possible in April are planning anti-Obamacare rallies across the country Saturday in all 435 congressional districts.</h2>
<p> </p>
<p>FOXNews.com</p>
<p>Friday, August 21, 2009</p>
<p>If Democratic lawmakers thought all the furor over President Obama&#8217;s health care plan expressed this month at town hall meetings was dying down, they might be in for a surprise Saturday.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s when citizens are planning anti-&#8221;Obamacare&#8221; rallies across the country Saturday in all 435 congressional districts.</p>
<p>And their message is clear: We will not stand for socialized, government-controlled health care.</p>
<p>The same groups who made the &#8220;tax tea parties&#8221; possible in April are behind this weekend&#8217;s movement. American Liberty Alliance, FreedomWorks and Americans for Prosperity are working with The Sam Adams Alliance, among others, to stage the rallies.</p>
<div id="gallery_photo"><img class="alignright" src="http://www.foxnews.com/bios/img/healthcare_protest_082009.jpg" alt="Demonstrators stage a rally against health care reform " width="320" height="264" /> <a href="http://www.recessrally.com/" target="_blank">Click here for more information on the rallies</a>.</div>
<p>They come as town hall clashes between Democratic lawmakers and protesters of Obama&#8217;s health care plan have captured national attention. Some Democrats have dismissed those protesters as &#8220;mobs&#8221; organized by special interests. But many protesters have said they attended the town halls out of genuine concern.</p>
<p>Now they can express their concerns at Saturday&#8217;s rallies.</p>
<p>&#8220;Obviously the idea behind this was to have a unified day for those concerned about government-controlled health care to talk outside their representatives&#8217; offices,&#8221; said Paul Miller, spokesman for The Sam Adams Alliance, a Chicago-based political organization which is one of several groups promoting the event through new media.</p>
<p>Miller said this is a personal issue for many opponents, including himself, a 22-year cancer survivor. Miller, who was diagnosed with a rare cancer at the age of 14 and had his right arm amputated to save his life, says he would not have received the same specialized and speedy medical care if the government was in control.</p>
<p>&#8220;There isn&#8217;t this great conspiracy to say there shouldn&#8217;t be health care reform,&#8221; Miller told FOXNews.com. &#8220;People just want to make their own decisions and keep their insurance if they like. When government&#8217;s get involved, they never do anything right.&#8221;</p>
<p>Eric Odom, executive director for American Liberty Alliance, the lead group behind the tea parties and the new rallies told FOXNews.com that the rallies differ from the tea parties in that they are being organized from the bottom up.</p>
<p>&#8220;We didn&#8217;t want to try and do what we did on April 15 because the logistics was a nightmare,&#8221; he said, explaining that local organizers now have more control over the rallies and have only received basic information from the top.</p>
<p>&#8220;People at the local level have taken it and created their own animal with it,&#8221; he said. &#8220;This is more bottom heavy.&#8221;</p>
<p>Odom shrugged at the fact that most of the lawmakers won&#8217;t be present at their offices on a Saturday because he said the ultimate goal is to get more people politically engaged.</p>
<p>&#8220;This Saturday is symbolic,&#8221; he said, adding that his group will e-mail information to rally-goers on how to air their concerns to their representatives. &#8220;Most of these people have never done anything political in their lives.&#8221;</p>
<p>Phil Kerpen, director of policy for Americans for Prosperity, cautioned that it&#8217;s &#8220;impossible to predict&#8221; the turnout at these rallies &#8220;because it&#8217;s very decentralized.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;It could be another big success,&#8221; he said, or the crowds could be scaled back. Kerpen said the packed town halls this month don&#8217;t provide much indication either.</p>
<p>&#8220;I think there&#8217;s no better place to make your voice heard and make an impact when you get face to face with your congressman,&#8221; he said. &#8220;The impetus is greater to show up there than here.&#8221;</p>
<p>Jacki Schechner, spokeswoman for Health Care for America Now (HCAN), a coalition of groups supporting Obama&#8217;s health care plan, said the rallies are a waste of time.</p>
<p>&#8220;There is no government-controlled health care on the table,&#8221; she said. &#8220;They&#8217;re protesting something that doesn&#8217;t exist.</p>
<p>&#8220;There&#8217;s a lot of people out there feeding lies and misinformation and trying to get people hyped up about something that doesn&#8217;t exist. They&#8217;re wasting their energy.&#8221;</p>
<p>Odom found irony in the objections raised by proponents of health care reform.</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s interesting that the world&#8217;s most professional organizers are upset that we&#8217;re organizing communities,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>But Odom said he hasn&#8217;t gotten a lot of pushback.</p>
<p>&#8220;Surprisingly, I don&#8217;t think they take this very seriously,&#8221; he said. But he said what separates his organizers from many of Obama&#8217;s supporters, including Health Care for America Now (HCAN), is the passion.</p>
<p>&#8220;For them it&#8217;s business as usual. It&#8217;s what they&#8217;re paid to do,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>Schechner said the differences between the two sides goes beyond money.</p>
<p>&#8220;We didn&#8217;t pop up over night,&#8221; she said, noting that the group&#8217;s campaign began last summer. &#8220;We don&#8217;t scream. We&#8217;re not angry.&#8221;</p>
<p>She rejected the notion that community organizers who are paid lack passion. &#8220;There are different kinds of passion,&#8221; she said.</p>
<p>Schechner added, &#8220;I don&#8217;t discount their passion. I don&#8217;t ever want to undermine their passion. But I really wish they would take a moment to really understand what this legislation is about, because a lot of people would be helped by it.&#8221;</p>
<p>But Kerpen said it&#8217;s clear that Obama&#8217;s plan would lead to a government takeover.</p>
<p>&#8220;Read the legislation that&#8217;s been proposed,&#8221; he said, adding that the House bill has been &#8220;designed as an achievable way to reach a single-payer system,&#8221; in which the government acts as the sole middle man with greater leverage to negotiate prices. &#8220;A lot of people are playing games, as we would expect them to.&#8221;</p>

As a reminder, tomorrow’s gatherings are a symbolic statement from We The People for those who we elect to REPRESENT us. We recommend that you get pictures, get video, and shake hands with as many people as possible. Make your voice heard and build relationships across your community in the process.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="center"> </p>
<p>Fellow American Patriots,</p>
<p>Tomorrow is the day for the <a href="http://americanlibertyalliance.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=997798ab9e4004a75a5dfc82e&amp;id=42f8503da5&amp;e=71d3b2be08">Nationwide Recess Rally</a>. This is what we’ve all been working for and we believe we’ll see great success across the country.</p>
<p>As a reminder, tomorrow’s gatherings are a symbolic statement from We The People for those who we elect to REPRESENT us. We recommend that you get pictures, get video, and shake hands with as many people as possible. Make your voice heard and build relationships across your community in the process.</p>
<p>But what are the action items to follow the Recess Rally?</p>
<p><strong>VITAL FOLLOW UP ACTION</strong></p>
<p>Most people don’t know this, but Senator Jim DeMint succeeded in passing procedural votes (one by unanimous consent) which bind the Senate to filibuster (60 vote) rules rather than the simple majority requirement of the reconciliation process. Therefore, without Republican complicity and votes, Obama Care would likely be dead in the Senate.</p>
<p>What the negotiating Republican Senators do will determine the end game. The Senators who have the power to see Obama pass or fail are Grassley (IA), Enzi (WY), Snowe (ME), Collins (ME), Graham (SC) and Bennett (UT). These six Senators should stop negotiating a compromise and let this monstrosity die.</p>
<p>So after the Recess Rally, you should take the following action steps:</p>
<p>-Visit, call and email YOUR Rep/Senator<br />
-Call and email the six Senators listed above<br />
-Write letters to your local editor and mention the six Senators<br />
-Post reminders about the six on your Facebook, Twitter and social media profiles<br />
-Post reminders about the six on your blog<br />
-E-mail your friends and family and explain the details about these six Senators<br />
-Contact the RNC/GOP and demand they put pressure on the six Senators</p>
<p>We The People employ these elected Senators. It’s our job to demand they do their jobs and look out for the interest of America.</p>
<p>Lastly, I want to personally thank the hundreds of Americans who have put in countless hours to make the Recess Rally effort happen. Your work is much appreciated and your contribution is potentially game changing for the direction of our great country.</p>
<p>Good luck tomorrow and have a great Recess Rally!</p>
<p>For Liberty,</p>
<p>-Eric Odom</p>

		<description><![CDATA[I am sad that The Milwaukee Brewers would let them get away with the attempt to destroy our way of life.  I bet the Green Bay Packers would at least let us have our “Hot Air Tour” balloon in Green Bay if not have the fortitude to directly support our cause.  After all, it costs a lot of money to heat our homes up north and they care about their fans and shareholders.  And the Green Bay Packers are “America’s Team”.  They believe in freedom and prosperity for America.
