TEST YOUR KNOWLEDGE OF THESE THREE HOUSTON-AREA CONGRESSMAN.
SEE HOW MANY YOU CAN GUESS CORRECTLY. ANSWERS ARE BELOW.
BUT NO MATTER HOW MANY YOU GUESS CORRECTLY,
IF THESE GUYS KEEP GETTING ELECTED, WE ALL LOSE!!!!

=================

This Congressman, Rep. _(1)_,  is on the Committee of Foreign Affairs but yet said and held the outward opinion until recently “there is little that can be done about the border situation.”  Mexican military units have been as far as 30 mi. inland in the U S and have fired upon residential neighborhoods on American soil and also upon Border Patrol agents.  [View video from of “border incursions” here, first video in the list, about half-way down the page.]

=================

This Congressman voted for the renewal of the Patriot Act (H R 3961), which now “gives permission” to the federal government to snoop into your medical records without a warrant and for causes unrelated to any ongoing criminal investigation (i.e., whenever a government bureaucrat wants to and thinks you’re up to no damn good!!)  His last name is alphabetically the first Rep. of this horrid trio.  [See Roll Call Vote for H R 3961.]  He is Rep. _(2)_.

Here is the link to the “amendment” which was the legislation that was passed on Sunday, March 21.

==================================================
[From ExposeObama.com, article here.]

Well, I have done it! I have read the entire text of proposed House Bill 3200: The Affordable Health Care Choices Act of 2009.* I studied it with particular emphasis from my area of expertise, constitutional law. I was frankly concerned that parts of the proposed law that were being discussed might be unconstitutional. What I found was far worse than what I had heard or expected.

To begin with, much of what has been said about the law and its implications is in fact true, despite what the Democrats and the media are saying. The law does provide for rationing of health care, particularly where senior citizens and other classes of citizens are involved, free health care for illegal immigrants, free abortion services, and probably forced participation in abortions by members of the medical profession.

The Bill will also eventually force private insurance companies out of business and put everyone into a government run system. All decisions about personal health care will ultimately be made by federal bureaucrats and most of them will not be health care professionals. Hospital admissions, payments to physicians, and allocations of necessary medical devices will be strictly controlled.

However, as scary as all of that is, it just scratches the surface. In fact, I have concluded that this legislation really has no intention of providing affordable health care choices. Instead it is a convenient cover for the most massive transfer of power to the Executive Branch of government that has ever occurred, or even been contemplated. If this law or a similar one is adopted, major portions of the Constitution of the United States will effectively have been destroyed.

Help John Dennis, U S Rep CD 8, fire Nancy Pelosi!!
============================================
Dear Fellow Concerned American:

I want to remind you of the scariest words in Washington – House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. If that name still causes you to squirm, get angry and grind your teeth, then keep reading.

Like you, I’m tired of waking up every day to see Nancy Pelosi and her cronies work to fulfill the agenda of Barack Obama without regard for how it chips away at our national sovereignty, undermines our national economy and mortgages our children’s future. As a father, I’m worried about how their actions will impact my daughter, your children and future generations of Americans.

My concerns for our nation’s welfare are not strictly based on my affiliation with the Republican Party, but as a father, small business owner and patriotic American. I’m concerned that we continue to lose our rights and liberties daily as Washington politicians, led by Speaker Pelosi, want to force us to submit to socialism.

I’m a proud American who wants our nation to succeed in the vision of our Founding Fathers and refuses to see it continue down this wayward course of a death spiral.

That’s why I’m running for Congress against Nancy Pelosi.

Help Rand Paul (KY Senate) fight for all Americans against the health care travesty!!
=======================================================

Dear friend,

Today is the big day. It’s your chance to show the establishment once and for all that we’re here to take our government back!

As I’ve traveled around Kentucky the last few weeks, I’m sensing an energy that is growing. It started with the Tea Parties. It’s been fueled by the continued of of control spending and lust for power of our elected officials.

The beginning of the end for out of control government is this race. Here in Kentucky, we will take that message and bring it to Washington.

As noted in Politico magazine last week, “A win by Paul…would represent the first true electoral success of the Tea Party movement.” I’m humbled to think that could be true. And I will work every day from now til November to make sure it’s true.

But first, I need YOUR help.

My establishment opponent isn’t running to change Washington, he’s running to be part of Washington. He’s not running to end bailouts, he’s running with campaign cash FROM recipients of bailouts.

Help Adam Kokesh (NM, CD 3) fight for all Americans against the health care travesty!!
================================================

Dear supporter,

Today Barack Obama signed into law the costly government health care bill that takes away your freedom and raises your taxes. The effect of this bill will be to put more Americans out of work, and further increase the cost of health care in this country.

US Rep. Ben Luján (D-NM) voted for the bill, proving once again that he holds no respect for the Constitution, or the individual liberties enshrined within it. With your help, we can hold Luján accountable, and stop the out-of-control spending in Washington that he supports.

As a representative for New Mexico’s Third District, I will hold the line against waste, fraud, and abuse. I will work to restore the free enterprise system that keeps our economy strong. I will stand up for New Mexico small businesses and families by cutting taxes and reducing burdensome legislation.

But I need your help.

Luján receives half of his funding from special interest groups and lobbyists who buy his votes. As someone who upholds the Constitution, I rely on concerned Americans like you to keep our campaign going.

By supporting this campaign, you can help ensure that legislation like the health care takeover never sees the light of day. You can help put our country back on the right track and restore our economy’s health.

Please contribute the most generous amount you can now at our website, and help me stop the Luján-Pelosi-Reid agenda in its tracks.

Freedom is under attack. But with your help, we will fight back.

In Liberty,

Adam Kokesh

P.S. I need your help to make sure out-of-touch bureaucrats like Luján don’t get re-elected in 2010. Please help us fight big government and preserve individual freedom, and make the most generous contribution you can today.

Good news, folks!! Ms. Debra Medina (recent Republican Gubernatorial candidate), the good doctor Ron Paul himself, Mr. David Smith (CD 2, TX), Mr. Guy McLendon (Harris County Libertarian Party Chair), Mr. Pat Dixon (Libertarian Party of Texas Chair) and several other politicos were mentioned in a recent Houston Chronicle story.

Breaking News!!!

As many of you know, activists are once again coming to DC to flood the halls of Congress tomorrow (Tuesday, March 16, 2010). They want to have their voices heard by their elected officials.

This afternoon, the Office of the Assistant to Speaker Nancy Pelosi circulated the following email to Freshman and Sophomore Democratic members of Congress advising them how to deal with all of the visitors to their offices tomorrow.

They know we are coming, so make the most of the visits tomorrow!

RE: Tea Party Etiquette

As many of you have read, tomorrow, Tuesday, March 16, 2010, tens of thousands of conservative and Tea Party activists will be on the Hill as part of what they are dubbing a “Surge Against Obamacare.” Rick Scott, a multimillionaire investor and former hospital executive, is helping to lead the grassroots effort along with a number of other groups on the right like Dick Armey’s Freedom Works. While many of you have met with outspoken activists in your districts in the past, we wanted to remind you of some of the best practices to review with your DC staff:

1. Be prepared. Activists are expected to begin arriving around 9am and they have been given instructions to wait in your office until they can have a meeting. Please have an orderly process and enough staff and interns to welcome what could be a very large number of visitors throughout the day:

· Have staff and/or Member time set-aside to visit with attendees in small groups;

· Ask for extra chairs or seating to be brought to your office or the hall in case there are seniors or disabled visitors that need to be accommodated;

[Article from CNSNews.com, links added by CNSNews.com staff]

(CNSNews.com) – The 86^thcongressional district of Rhode Island received $10.2 million in federal economic stimulus funds to save 57.9 jobs, according to Recovery.gov. In neighboring Connecticut, the state’s 42^nd congressional district did not receive any stimulus money yet 25 jobs were still saved or created.

The problem with these federal financial data, however, is that Rhode Island has just two congressional districts, not 86, and Connecticut has just five U.S. House seats, not 42. Also, the Web site states that $6.4 billion in stimulus money went to 440 congressional districts that do not exist, according to an analysis first reported by Watchdog.org, a division of the Franklin Center for Government and Public Integrity.

The watchdog’s analysis showed that the money invested in the non-existent congressional districts saved or created 30,000 jobs, based on the government data currently available to the public.

Recovery.gov is the Obama administration’s Web site designed to track the funds dispersed through the $787 billion American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.

Concerning the non-existent congressional districts and other data on Recovery.org, the Obama administration responded on Tuesday that it was a matter of kinks in the system and that all stimulus funds are traceable and documented.

“These are not non-existent congressional districts, these are improperly identified congressional districts,” Ed Pound, spokesman for the Recovery Accountability and Transparency Board, told CNSNews.com Tuesday. “It’s human error. People filling out these forms might not know their district.”

This is a very interesting cartoon from 1948.  Still very relevant today and is especially chilling in parts, especially when they talk about how the ISM just wants to divide & conquer by playing the race, age, sex, religion and party cards…

Pay close attention to some of the comments.  Many give a good plan of action for righting the direction we’re headed…  and follow the parallels for today’s political climate.

Measure would audit the Fed’s monetary policies such as interest rates

[Article from MarketWatch.com]

bumpersticker from: http://www.cafepress.com/+are_you_better_off_now,392044147

A key congressional panel on Thursday approved legislation introduced by the Texas congressman that – for the first time in the central bank’s 95-year-history — would require government audits of Federal Reserve monetary policy, as well as how much the central bank has lent and will lend to specific banks.

Fed Chief Ben Bernanke and other key members of the Obama administration, including Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner, had vigorously opposed the move.

The measure was approved by the House Financial Services Committee as it considered broad bank regulatory reform legislation, and included a package of other measures weakening the Fed’s power and capping how much it can lend or guarantee.

The committee is now poised to pass the entire bill and has scheduled its final vote on the legislation for December 1.
