Congress Flooded With Calls to Defund ObamaCare Following Texas Senator Ted Cruz Historic Session

Thursday, September 26th, 2013

ObamaCare Putin

(WND) Following the epic 21 hour discussion by Sen Ted Cruz (R-TX) supporting the defunding of ObamaCare, voters made so many phone calls to establishment Republicans that either their phone lines melted or they took their phones off the hook.

Even in the age of digital wizardry and limitless voice mails, Constituents could not get through to at all with Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) a message said the ‘Senator was experiencing a high volume of phone calls’ and directed the public to call back later or visit his website.

It was the same story with RINO Sen John McCain (R-AZ) callers got a message that his mailbox was full.

Callers to Senate Minority Whip John Cornyn (R-TX) also got a message that the line was busy but at least those callers were sent to his voicemail.

Rep Peter King (R-NY) who called Senator Cruz a ‘fraud’ for his Yeoman efforts to defund ObamaCare said today that supporters of the Texas Senator have been bombarding his office with ‘vile’ phone calls:

“The vehemence  of the phone calls coming into the office–I don’t care, people can call me whatever they want…I haven’t heard such vile, profane, obscene language…I’m not saying Ted Cruz is responsible for all his supporters but he has tapped into a dark strain here in the American political psyche here and again, the most obscene, profane stuff you can imagine all from people who say they support the Constitution–I think what we have to do is reach out to his people and let them know they are following a false leader,” Rep King said on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” this morning.

Senator’s Ted Cruz & Mike Lee (R-UT) have collected more than 1.8 Million signatures on their online petition Dont Fund ObamaCare site.

Following Sen Ted Cruz’s marathon address and colloquy with other Senator’s Tuesday night into Wednesday morning, Sen Mike Lee’s Communications Director Brian Phillips told World Net Daily “Its up to the American people now if they want their Senator to vote the right way, their Senator has to hear from them.”

In related news, The Weekly Standard reports Democrat West Virginia Sen Joe Manchin, has broke ranks with colleagues and says that he will support a delay in ObamaCare’s individual mandate.

Obama Productions Enlists “Funny or Die” Studio Hollywood to Film ObamaCare Propaganda Flicks

Wednesday, September 25th, 2013

(L.A. Times) Obama Productions in association with “Funny or Die” studio are working on some 20 propaganda flicks at a cost to taxpayers of nearly $1 Million or so to help promote ObamaCare.

In July, NewsBusters reported that the Obama Administration recruited ‘Hollywood Star Power’ to sell ObamaCare especially to young people that will need to pony up and pay the freight to subsidize government run health care for older generations.

From the looks of the Obama Administrations recruitment of Mike Farah who formally has produced such thrillers as “Obama’s Kickstarter Campaign to Solve the Debt” in 2011 (how is that working out for you) to other unknown comedy classics such as “Government Shutdown” to “Stop the Environment” starring the always lovable and admitted Socialist Ed Asner, one can be sure that Obama Productions will turn out some real unmemorable Hollywood duds in coming weeks all courtesy of the American taxpayers.

In related news, according to The Washington Post President Obama last week in a lecture from the White House said that he will not negotiate with Republicans over the debt ceiling and called on them to cede the battle over ObamaCare and pass a new budget.

From the looks of all the “play money” the Obama Administration has to waste on ObamaCare propaganda flicks, there appears to be plenty of room for negotiations to reign in our nearly $17 Trillion deficit.

Obama Admits To Raising Taxes on “Some Things”

Wednesday, September 25th, 2013

Obama Tax Card

ObamaCare Will Raise Premiums Significantly and Limit Health Insurance Options

Wednesday, September 25th, 2013

ObamaCare PremiumsWhat the Obama Administration Didn’t Tell You About ObamaCare Exchange Plans –Heritage Foundation

(Washington Examiner) The Obama Administration today, released a report on the costs of ObamaCare for most Americans, heralding its interpretation that 95% of the nation will be able to buy health insurance below earlier projections.

Note the words “earlier projections” that does not mean that the insurance that Americans will have to purchase or be fined, under ObamaCare will be less expensive than what one pays today before ObamaCare takes effect.

We know this because at the same time the Obama Administration was releasing their broad study, Tennessee Senator Lamar Alexander released his analysis of the report’s portion on his state Sen Alexander found that ObamaCare will cost far more than what many of his Constituents are paying today–some by as much as 190%

From Sen. Alexander’s release:

  • Today a 27 year old man in Memphis can purchase a health care plan for as low as $41 per month. On the ObamaCare exchange the lowest state’s average is $119 per month a 190% increase.
  • Today a 27 year old Woman in Nashville can purchase a health care plan for as low as $58 per month. On the ObamaCare exchange the lowest priced plan is $114 per month a 97% increase–even with a tax subsidy that plan is $104 per month, almost twice what she can purchase it for today.

On the 31 May, I wrote here that the ObamaCare/Covered California exchange will in fact increase individual market premiums by as much as 146% One of the most serious flaws with ObamaCare is the blizzard of new regulations and mandates that drive up the cost of insurance for people who buy it on their own–this problem will be especially acute when the law’s main provisions kick in on the 01 January, 2014 leading many to worry about a health insurance ‘rate shock.’

In Nashville, 105 insurance plans offered today will be unavailable in the ObamaCare exchange.

In California, the Los Angeles Times reported earlier this month that insurers in the new ObamaCare/Covered California exchange are limiting choices, raising concerns that patients will struggle to get health care.

On the 22 July, I wrote here that Anthem Blue Cross has joined a growing list of other health insurance companies that will not participate in ObamaCare/Covered California exchange.

I Support Senator Cruz: Go Ted Go!

Wednesday, September 25th, 2013

I Support Ted Cruz(Monica Memo)  Sen Ted Cruz (R-TX) took to the Senate Floor on Tuesday at 11:41 AM PDT promising to fight against ‘socialized medicine’ commonly referred to as ObamaCare until he “could no longer stand” 18 hours later he is still there fighting for America and Liberty with the assists from Senators: Mike Lee (R-UT) Rand Paul (R-KY) Marco Rubio (R-FL) Pat Roberts (R-KS) Jim Inhofe (R-OK) David Vitter (R-LA) and Michael Enzi (R-WY)

Amazing how time flies when you’re standing on principle (I’ve had the ‘discussion’ on since its started, its been time well spent)

Democrats and their minions are mocking Cruz, take for example (All the News That’s Fit to Print–ROFLOL) Witness today’s editorial in the NY Times entitled “The Embarrassment of Ted Cruz” they were not “embarrassed” for Texas State Senator Wendy Davis when she filibustered  a bill that protected unborn babies after 20 weeks. This is how the Left thinks–the abortion cult of death: Yay! Individual liberty and economic freedom: Boo!

We expect this from the Democrats and the Left–What is particularly shameful is the treatment of Cruz by so many of his fellow Republicans. Please take a moment to call, email or tweet the Senators above and thank them for standing with Cruz and not surrendering the country to socialized medicine.

As for the other Senators…All Of Them, please call, email or tweet them and politely let them know that you support Ted Cruz and the effort to defund ObamaCare–tell them to vote “No” on Cloture, otherwise they will be voting to FOR ObamaCare and we’ll be watching what they do.

Companies Seek to Unblock California’s 15.4B Barrels of Recoverable Shale Oil in Monterey Field

Tuesday, September 24th, 2013

Bright Future For ND Dismal Future For CaliforniaBright Future for North Dakota Energy Revenue, Dismal Outlook for California –Image: California Political Review

(WSJ) California’s Monterey Shale formation is estimated to hold as much as 15.4 Billion barrels of recoverable offshore shale oil reserves in the United States lower 48 states or more than double the amount of  North Dakota’s prosperous Bakken Field and Three Forks formations according to the 2013 estimates by the U.S. Dept of Interior and U.S. Geological Survey.

Problems do exist in extracting the oil from layers of rock seeming as impenetrable as another, California’s rigid regulatory climate.

The latter will likely make it impossible any time soon, for California to take advantage of this new found wealth right under ones feet, despite the state’s weak economy and high unemployment, falling tax revenues, a $127+ Billion deficit and dismal consumer confidence that things will improve anytime soon.

Democrats in Sacramento together with their loony liberal lefty environmentalist wacky partners, will be willing to forgo this huge new opportunity to reverse the state’s negative and dangerous economic trends and instead will kick a gift horse in the mouth by staying on their disastrous greeny course, benefiting no one in the short and long term but will ‘feel really good’ when they pretend to ‘feel the pain’ in the suffering of others.

Outrageous! Vandals Torch Ronald Reagan Statue at Southern California Sports Park

Ronald Regan StatueVandals Torch Ronald Reagan Statue at California Sports Park

(Wasington Times) Vandals set fire to a life-size statue of Ronald Reagan at the Ronald Reagan Sports Park in Temecula, California–the very same site that was praised by Reagan in the 1980’s as an example of what voluntarism and fundraising can accomplish–rather than government regulation and taxpayer dollars.

Police are seeking a suspect.

The Ronald Reagan Sports Park is accepting donations needed to repair damages to the monument.
