Obamacare,Congressional Budget Office Report
This is very important if you are the least bit concerned over Obamacare. Within the test is a link to a pdf from the Congressional Budget Office that disputes what Obama said in a recent townhall.
Obama is a master of seduction. Believe it. Read for yourself.

Congressman Allen Boyd (D-FL) town hall meetings
Think up some HARDBALL QUESTIONS. Make him remember, HE WORKS FOR YOU AND YOU CAN FIRE HIM.
Congressman Boyd is coming home for the August recess and his schedule of forums is listed below. Now is the time to meet him at a forum in your neighborhood to discuss with him your concerns about the legislative activities in Washington. In June he voted for the Cap and trade bill (and admitted that he didn’t even read it) that most of us in District 2 did not agree with. When he returns to Washington in September, the Affordable Health Choices Act of 2009 (Government “Health” Plan) will be scheduled for debate and vote, we should take this opportunity to let him know our feelings on this bill.
The last forum on his schedule is in Panama City and some of us in Bay County are concerned that he will not be able to keep this so we plan to meet him Blountstown and Marianna. Those wishing to join us for these two forums can meet us at the Panama City Mall near Starbucks at 9 AM each day and we will caravan to the forums.
Take some time to review the information you are concerned about and prepare to ask pertinent questions of the congressman, and most of all be courteous and respectful to the congressman. We should be prepared to petition outside the forum venue in case of an over crowded facility, in this case appropriate homemade signs would be needed.

Townhall meetings are going wild!
I have to argue with the number - the media was woefully off in numbers. The protest gathered upwards of 250 people who got wind of Rep. Allen Boyd's visit to Gulf Coast Community College and that made him blink.
Elsewhere in recent posts, I show people speaking up and supporting distaff, Constitutional voices to politicians.
This is what we need to do. No more nice guys. If you have something to say, SAY IT! Get in their slimebag faces and force them to listen to you. Our County Commission will only allow 3 minutes or else the bailiff throws you out. That's wrong. The Bay County Commissioners get paid handsomely (they offered to return 10 per cent of their salaries to the State, but so far none has done that that I'm aware of). If they succeed in winning their elections twice, they get full retirement benefits from the state for doing a few hours of work a month. That's wrong. So at least, it is my feeling that if they want their job and their salary, they damn well better let us speak until we step down from a sore throat.
I'm listening to Glenn Beck on a rebroadcast today. He is referring to Sun Szu's "Art of War", and suggesting - no - telling us to be strong, speak out, stand on our Constitutional rights, seek the bastards out who are shredding our founding documents and get in their face. He just encouraged "us" to get arrested if we have to. We have to force our freedoms on those who would take them away.
He's right.
