Keeping An Eye Out
In general, there's so many things going on it's hard to keep track of it all, but here's some highlights to remind us of what we're fighting for, how much we've done, and how important it is to keep going over the next three years:
First, here's some great footage of the 9/12 March on Washington. This is impressive stuff:
Also, yesterday, Gary Bauer quoted a speech made by Mike Pence about Joe Wilson. The entire speech was excellent, so here it is [courtesy of VA Social Conservative]:
Keep watching the ACORN Prostitution Scandal as well - if you hadn't heard, they've now released video's from Baltimore, MD, Washington D.C., New York, NY, San Bernadino, CA and now, their latest, San Diego, CA - every one more incriminating and unbelievable than the last. Be sure to go back to earlier posts on BigGovernment.com and see the earlier ones. It's well worth the time.

EOD Report - Interesting Joe Wilson Commentary
If you're not familiar with Gary Bauer's End of Day Report, go Here and sign up - it's good stuff. Today, EOD had some interesting comments about the Joe Wilson issue, and some especially interesting quotes from Mike Pence:
"Republicans Defend Wilson
Yesterday I urged Republicans in the House of Representatives to stand up and defend Joe Wilson (R-SC) when the vote to discipline him came to the floor. Wilson, not surprisingly, was reprimanded by a 240-to-179 party line vote. (Seven Republicans voted against Wilson, while 12 Democrats voted for him).
Rep. Mike Pence of Indiana, the current Republican House Conference Chairman and rising star in the GOP, was one of the strongest voices for sanity in the debate. Pence spoke on Wilson’s behalf on the House floor yesterday, telling his colleagues: “The American people want better. The American people want less politics and more jobs. They want Congress to set aside petty partisan politics and come together to take action to get this economy moving again.”
Rep. Pence also noted, “Ironically, because of Joe Wilson’s outburst, we have been engaged in nearly a week-long debate about what’s really in H.R. 3200. In fact, now the American people know there's nothing in the Democrat’s bill in the House that requires an individual to verify their identity or citizenship.”
He closed his statement by saying, “Last Wednesday was not a good day in the House, but today is worse. Today we see politics overwhelming the institution. The American people are tired. So let me say again … I urge my colleagues to vote ‘no’ on this resolution, put attention back on the work that the American people sent us here to perform, and that is to serve the interests of their families and the interests of this Nation with everything we’ve got. I’m with Joe; vote no.”
I want to share these comments because many of you have responded to this report frustrated with the Republicans in Congress for their perceived reluctance to stand up and fight back against the radical Left. The Republican leadership IS fighting back, despite facing a huge Democrat majority and Big Media that is marching in lockstep with the liberal agenda in Washington. I urge you to keep an eye on Mike Pence in the future."
Also, I should give VaSocialConservative a great deal of credit for suggesting I watch Mike Pence in the first place.

A Great, Simple Idea for Action
[I recieved this as it was passed around through a loop of Tea Party goers and other activists in my area - great idea!]
This great idea is being passed around the Tea Parties... In her own words:
"This is not a forward. I came up with this myself.. If you agree, please do it with me. I've written over 400 postcards, letters and emails already. You only need to do six. Thanks, Katy."
I believe that the majority of Americans are good, hard-working people. For too long we've been silent because we were going about our business raising our families and making the country work. Now everything that we've worked for all our lives as well as our inalienable rights guaranteed by God and inscribed in the Constitution are being stolen from us by the current Administration and Congress. It's time to DO something!
We are NOT an angry mob! We are NOT un-American! We just want the government to follow the U.S. Constitution. In our own way way we are doing what the Patriots in 1776 did, fighting to stop a tyrannical Government. I do NOT want anyone to be violent or ugly or disrespectful. What I AM asking is that you do a very simple, easy act that will have a great impact.Each of you buy six postcards and six postcard stamps (which are 28 cents). Send one to your U.S. Representative and to your two U.S. Senators. If you don't know their addresses (ours are printed in the daily paper) you can find them at:
http://www.house.gov/ for your Congressman and http://www.senate.gov/general/contact_information/senators_cfm.cfm for Senators
Even if your Representative and Senators do not support Obama's plans for our future, (ours don't, thankfully) they need to know that we are behind them to give them courage to stand up to the loud hateful voices that the Axis of Tyranny getting ready to unleash.
Also write the Axis of Tyranny Obama, Pelosi, and Reid. That uses up the six postcards. Their addresses are below:
President Barack Obama
1600 Pennsylvania Ave
Washington DC 20500
Speaker Nancy Pelosi
235 Cannon House Office Building
Washington DC 20515
S
enator Harry Reid
522 Hart Senate Office Building
Washington DC 20510
Keep it short and simple (a requirement on a post card) but don't delay! They will soon be back in session after Labor Day, so mail it between August 31 and September 4 so you can FLOOD THEIR OFFICES with a Tsunami of mail! Snail mail makes a huge impact on elected officials, but letters take too long since the anthrax scare in 2001. They go through a quarantine of several weeks. Postcards are faster and cheaper to mail, too!
