Large crowds in Minnesota says Keep the Change and Kill that Bill.

Here in Wisconsin the people feel the same way and are readying the same pitchforks. Or is that tar and feathers?

Obama’s Tone-Deaf Health Campaign

The president shouldn’t worry about the protestors disrupting town hall meetings. He should worry about the Americans who have been sitting at home listening to him.

The president has a problem. For, despite a great election victory, Mr. Obama, it becomes ever clearer, knows little about Americans. He knows the crowds—he is at home with those. He is a stranger to the country’s heart and character.

He seems unable to grasp what runs counter to its nature. That Americans don’t take well, for instance, to bullying, especially of the moralizing kind, implicit in those speeches on health care for everybody. Neither do they wish to be taken where they don’t know they want to go and being told it’s good for them.

Who would have believed that this politician celebrated, above all, for his eloquence and capacity to connect with voters would end up as president proving so profoundly tone deaf? A great many people is the answer—the same who listened to those speeches of his during the campaign, searching for their meaning.

It took this battle over health care to reveal the bloom coming off this rose, but that was coming. It began with the spectacle of the president, impelled to go abroad to apologize for his nation—repeatedly. It is not, in the end, the demonstrators in those town-hall meetings or the agitations of his political enemies that Mr. Obama should fear. It is the judgment of those Americans who have been sitting quietly in their homes, listening to him.

Frankly, I’m beginning to feel a lot like Howard Beale, the character portrayed by Peter Finch in the 1976 release, “Network.” He insisted that people get up right now and go to the window, open it, stick their heads out and yell, “I’m as mad as hell, and I’m not going to take it anymore!”

I’ve always heard that misery loves company. If true, misery in America has more company these days than it knows what do with.

I realize that conservatives have felt this way ever since the Democrats nominated the Chicago crony of Bill Ayers, Jeremiah Wright, Tony Rezko, Rod Blagojevich and the assorted felons at ACORN, to be our president, but why aren’t millions of honest, decent, hard-working Democrats up in arms? I can guarantee that if a Republican president had done half the things that Obama has pulled off in his first half year, most of us on the right would be calling for his head. At the very least, none of us would be kissing his heinie…..

"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!

FIND A LOCATION NEAR YOU and GO!

Beware of critters…… Reports of scalawags abound. Watch out for people who want you to sign stuff.

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!

The New American Tea Party – coming to a town near you!  Even Arlo Guthrie is getting into the act. Now these Tea Parties are showing up all over America – to protest the bailouts and the whole crazy financial mess.  Check it out – there’s probably one being organized in a town close to where you live.  Many of them are scheduled on or around April 15th – Tax Day.
