Trying to Make a Statement? Obama Misses the Mark...by a Longshot

Wouldn't you think that if Obama wanted to hit Americans where it hurts he'd shut down the postal system? school lunch programs? public schools? Andrews Air Force Base golf course?

Instead, the expenditure of government funds is diverted from those placed on "furlough" and spent on personnel at National Parks...

Setting up barricades.
Blocking roadways.
Strong-arming veterans.

And the Obama Administration has targeted specific entities to make a statement by:

Closing commissaries on military bases, denying families of soldiers the ability to purchase food.
Rejecting a state's offer to pull up the bootstraps and pay for their own state park operations.
Cutting off "Amber Alerts."  and HERE

In effect, this is a "partial" shutdown...a "pick and choose" shutdown.

Let's the American people see Obama for who he truly is.

Classy.

Cloture vote on Reid's health care bill TOMORROW.

Reid is trying to push a health care bill that will fund abortions with taxpayer money.  Read below.  Take action.  Time is short.

From Traditional Values Coalition:
ON SATURDAY, "in a rare weekend session, the U.S. Senate is being forced by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) to vote on his 2,000+ page health care bill that funds abortion.
Reid’s health care bill was crafted in secret with Obama Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel and others without input from most Senators.
Reid’s bill will fund abortion on demand with taxpayer money and includes numerous tax increases as well.
The “cloture” vote on Saturday needs 60 votes to pass. This vote will be on a motion to move ahead with a vote on the bill itself. Once the cloture vote is won, the Reid’s abortion-funding bill can pass with a simple majority.
In short, if your Senator votes for cloture on Saturday, she or he is voting to pass the bill itself and to fund abortion with your tax dollars.
Senators can use their cloture vote to claim that all they wanted to do was to let the vote come to the floor – when in fact, they know that by casting their vote for cloture, the abortion-funding bill is sure to pass with a simple majority.


IMMEDIATE ACTION NEEDED: Time is of the essence.

On Saturday, you will have to contact their Washington D.C. offices.
