Mama Winger's Kitchen Table

This entire thing is a disgrace.

“>Paul Ryan, (R-WI) writing today in the Washington Post:

If this debate had actually been about health care, we could have worked together to get a grip on costs, make quality care more accessible, address exclusions for preexisting conditions and realign the incentives of insurance companies with those of patients and doctors. Yet this process — including its embarrassing conclusion — demonstrates that the debate has never been about health-care policy but, instead, paternalistic ideology.

Take a look at Paul Ryan’s own roadmap to prosperity and common sense here.

A new wave of anti-Obama memorabilia is hitting the shelves — from T-shirts to bumper stickers to buttons — as the president’s economic and health care policies divide the nation.

Popular slogans such as “Mama for Obama” have been retooled to “To the Mama for Obama — thanks for the tax hike.”

“Yes, we can” has become “No, he can’t.”

“The Audacity of Hype” has replaced the title of Obama’s popular book, “The Audacity of Hope.”

“It really started peaking about a month ago,” Amy Maniatis, vice president of marketing at the online seller Cafepress.com, told The Washington Times.

“You see it as a direct response to some of the promising messages that happened a year ago. Whereas we had the campaign of Obama centered around hope, and it was a very optimistic message, now they’re asking: ‘How’s that hopey-changey thing going?’”

"You Are Toast"

Don’t give them one penny. Don’t give them one vote.

If they cannot hold the line on this travesty of a bill, when pray tell will they EVER?

They are worthless to the conservative cause. They should be voted OUT in 2010.
Let them know that at the next Tea Party. Let them hear us. We the People are coming!

In the next week or so, Democrats will make sweeping changes to American health care using “budget reconciliation,” an arcane process that allows Congress to minimize debate, prevent amendments, and circumvent filibusters in the Senate, a top Republican budgeteer predicts.

“You would do the same thing, too,” said Rep. Paul Ryan (R, Wisc.), the ranking Republican on the House Budget Committee and the author of the Republicans’ alternative budget. “It’s basically an insurance policy to get their agenda passed. Why would they take this tool off the table when they don’t need to?”

Reconciliation, originally designed in the 1974 Budget Act as a means for helping the government save money and keep federal budgets closer to balance, allows for certain legislation to pass both houses of Congress on an expedited basis — and perhaps most importantly, to pass the Senate with a bare majority. Despite Republican threats of retribution in the Senate, the GOP is virtually powerless to prevent this from happening.

Monday morning, March 30th, I  was listening to my favorite radio station – WISN, NewsTalk Radio 1130 from Milwaukee Wisconsin.  One of the best hosts they have is Vicki McKenna, a smart and sassy host with a great conservative point of view.  She was talking about the upcoming Tea Party rallies – the groundswell movement against Big Government – and was talking about how eachone of us as individual citizens need to take a stand and fight back against creeping socialism under this administration.

I was inspired to create some “Fight Back” T-shirts and bumper stickers in my Zazzle store. Mama Winger’s Potluck on Zazzle.com, which I proceeded to email to Vicki at the radio station.

That’s when things got interesting.

Ms. McKenna forwarded my email to the “Fight Back Wisconsin!” organization, a group instrumental in organizing these Citizen Tea Party rallies around our state. This group is part of  Americans for Prosperity .  AFP is an organization of grassroots leaders who engage citizens in the name of limited government and free markets on the local, state and federal levels. The grassroots members of AFP advocate for public policies that champion the principles of entrepreneurship and fiscal and regulatory restraint.

Mark Block, the Wisconsin State Director of AFP, then contacted me and asked me to design T shirts incorporating the AFP logo into my “Fight Back” shirts, which I was very excited to do .   In my own small way, I feel as if I too am making a change here in Wisconsin, one T-shirt at a time.  Here are some of the results from my Zazzle gallery, featuring the new “Americans for Prosperity – Fight Back Wisconsin!” T shirts .  I  hope to see many of you wearing them at the Tea Party Rally in Madison on April 15th!
