True North

Michele Bachmann spake and TEA Party activists, townhall protesters and people frightened at the prospect of losing control of the best health care system in the world are running, flying and driving to Capitol Hill to pay a House Call to Speaker Pelosi and the other wayward souls who want to control the health care system:

In a statement released Sunday, Bachmann, R-St. Cloud, urges Americans to join her and a handful of House Republicans at a news conference Thursday on the steps of the Capitol. The event is being billed as the "House call on Washington," led by Rep. Tom Price, R-Ga., a physician and chairman of the Republican Study Committee. It has drawn the support of leading conservative groups.

Bachmann sees it as a chance to bring to the nation's capital the outrage that characterized many of the town hall meetings that members of Congress hosted in their districts during the summer recess. "The American people spoke loud and clear at town hall meetings all across the country throughout August," Bachmann said. "But it would appear that Congress didn't hear a word they had to say. The Democrats' latest health care proposal...may be packaged a little differently, but it's the same old bad bill as before."

Yesterday, I heard a rumor that Speaker Pelosi was thinking about using Capitol Police to limit citizens' access to Capitol Hill and to prevent them from 'lobbying' their House members. If Speaker Pelosi is that stupid, then she'd best be prepared to pay the price for such dictatorial behavior.

She wants to insulate Democratic legislators from their own constituents as much as possible. Whether she takes it to that extreme is the unanswered question. A sane person wouldn't consider this tactic but Speaker Pelosi has enough tyrant blood running through her to consider pulling such a stunt.

As for the bill itself, Rep. Bachmann is exactly right in saying that Speaker Pelosi discounted the things that We The People told our elected officials during August and at the TEA Parties. This legislation, H.R. 3962, is as expensive, adds more money to the deficits and raises taxes just as much, if not moreso, than H.R. 3200 did.

In Speaker Pelosi's paranoid world, August didn't happen and the TEA Parties were just Astroturfing sponsored by K Street lobbyists.

SPEAKER PELOSI, NO MORE!!!

NO MORE!!! will We The People let you ignore our genuine worries.
NO MORE!!! will We The People go away just because you don't like hearing what real people have to say.
NO MORE!!! will We The People just sit back and let Washington tell us what to do.

We demand that the followers that call themselves leaders listen to us.
We demand that out-of-touch career politicians like Speaker Pelosi work for us, not vice versa.

It's bad enough that Speaker Pelosi wants to pass this ideological legislation. It's worse that she wants to ignore We The People. What's worst, though, is her thinking that she's an autocrat.

NO MORE!!! Speaker Pelosi.

Thankfully, there are responsive politicians like Michele and Tom Price and Mike Pence who will stand up against tyrants like Speaker Pelosi. Thankfully freedom-loving journalists like Mark Levin will be there to chronicle the event. Thankfully, people like Rush will be talking about the goings-on during his radio program.

Most importantly, thankfully We The People have said NO MORE!!! to career politicians' ideological excesses. It's OUR nation, not the career politicians' nation.
