This new category will recap the posts for the week on our website. Your comments are welcome and encouraged, as we work for you – The American People to Rescue America from Radical Socialism.
1. How health care reform could fall apart:
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid eked out 60 votes on a procedural motion to start the health care debate Saturday night – but there’s no guarantee he can pass a bill on the merits.
And as he struggles, the reasons are clear: deep divides among Democrats on a public insurance plan, abortion, tax hikes and cost-cutting. Liberals want the plan to be generous enough. Moderates fear a budget-buster. And everyone is trying to avoid angering senior. read more
2. Forecast for Dem primaries: Ugly -
Republicans aren’t the only ones staring at the unnerving prospect of a 2010 primary season filled with smash-mouth intraparty contests that threaten to distract the party and leave Senate nominees bloodied and cash-depleted. read more
3. Palin Derangement Syndrome:
The Root Cause Updated: “The Alaska Governor is far more than someone who appeals to the (conservative) base, she is someone who can make the base appeal to America.” – C. Edmund Wright in September of 2008, defining the cause of Palin Derangement Syndrome (PDS) . This compact yet comprehensive diagnosis was made in the early hours of the PDS outbreak when Sarah Palin was first being introduced to the nation. It still rings true as the Jurassic media continues a childish obsession with someone who is not in control of a single government lever. Read more
4. Wave of Debt Payments Facing U.S. Government:
WASHINGTON — The United States government is financing its more than trillion-dollar-a-year borrowing with i.o.u.’s on terms that seem too good to be true.
But that happy situation, aided by ultralow interest rates, may not last much longer.
Treasury officials now face a trifecta of headaches: a mountain of new debt, a balloon of short-term borrowings that come due in the months ahead, and interest rates that are sure to climb back to normal as soon as the Federal Reserve decides that the emergency has passed. Read more
5. People don’t trust politicians – now an Elon University poll proves it:
You probably don’t need poll results to tell you most people don’t trust politicians.
But perception of elected officials was one of the topics examined by an Elon University Poll taken last week.
The poll found:
- Seventy-three percent of people surveyed believe corruption is common among people in elected office.
- Sixty-five percent believe elected office-holders look out for their own interests more than they work for the public’s interests.
- Sixty-seven percent believe corruption among public officials in North Carolina is becoming more common. Read more
6. The United States Constitution:
of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
Article. I.
Section. 1.
All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives. Read more
7. Hiding evidence of global cooling:
Scientific progress depends on accurate and complete data. It also relies on replication. The past couple of days have uncovered some shocking revelations about the baloney practices that pass as sound science about climate change. Read more
8. Thanksgiving Today:
Today, we recall President George Washington, who proclaimed our first national day of public thanksgiving to be observed “by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many and signal favors of Almighty God.”
In addition, we honor President Abraham Lincoln, who officially established our annual Thanksgiving Day to help bring together a divided nation in the midst of a bloody civil war. Read more
9. Donate to Rescue America from Radical Socialism:
A new national group, WakeUpAmerica.com, has been formed right here in North Carolina to counter the radical socialists at the leftist group MoveOn.org who, along with Acorn and Barak Obama, took over our state and nation last year. Read more

As the holidays, approach and we prepare for reflection and praising God, WakeUpAmerica.com would like to share with you, our third TV Ad, a very special inspirational message from President Ronald Reagan about what it means to be an American, what it means to be free, and about the role of government in our lives.

Today, we recall President George Washington, who proclaimed our first national day of public thanksgiving to be observed “by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many and signal favors of Almighty God.” In addition, we honor President Abraham Lincoln, who officially established our annual Thanksgiving Day to help bring together a divided nation in the midst of a bloody civil war. Two great leaders putting their lives and policies on the line for our freedom, declaring one homegrown Holiday. A day to pause and give thanks to the Almighty God responsible for our victories and U.S. sovereignty against all odds. As we recount our blessings as a family, remember to give thanks to our troops who relentlessly continue to fight for our freedoms and that they will soon come home safe and victorious.

(Raleigh, NC) – On November 3rd a joint NC House and NC Senate Finance Committee meeting will discuss reforming the NC tax code. Thank goodness. With state unemployment rates languishing near 10% for months, Federal stimulus leading to no private sector job growth, and Governor Perdue with only a 24% approval rating, the time has come to bury North Carolina’s outdated tax code with a new structure based on incentive-based growth, according to the NC-based conservative group WakeUpAmerica.com. “A state legislative commission will meet in November to study a new approach to the state’s tax system and in that there is hope that this won’t be a grab at more tax money – but instead a discussion of a way to simplify a complex tax code and structure taxes in a way that incentivizes economic activity instead of discouraging it,” said WakeUpAmerica.com co-director Bryan Holloway – who is also a State Representative from King, NC. “Why can’t North Carolina lead the nation in demonstrating a simpler, fairer way of taxation while at the same time unleashing the kind of dynamic economic growth in our state that will create the jobs we desperately need,” Holloway continued. WakeUpAmerica.com supports the general principles surrounding the “Fair Tax” and would ask state leaders and economists to study a revolutionary “Fair Tax Plan for North Carolina.” “Why can’t North Carolina be the first to unleash what is great about America and put billions of dollars into our economy and create the jobs our failed tax system has failed to?” asked Holloway. National Fair Tax proposals favor a sales tax on new items which everyone, including illegals, or who currently circumvent taxes would have to pay. No special breaks for one group over another or for companies who can pay for expensive lobbyists, because everyone would be treated the same. According to FairTax.org, leaders such as “Nobel Prize winning economist Dr. Vernon L. Smith have called upon Congress to pass the Fair Tax. Alan Greenspan says it "could certainly meet the fundamental criteria of being simple, fair, and pro-growth." Retired Federal Reserve Bank Board of Governors Member Wayne Angell says, "the economic benefits of the Fair Tax Plan are compelling. The Fair Tax Plan eliminates the tax bias against work, saving, and investment, which would lead to higher rates of economic growth, faster growth in productivity, more jobs, lower interest rates, and a higher standard of living for the American people." “It would be an injustice for the commission studying tax reform in North Carolina not to give full consideration to taking the bold, job-creating measures we need to kick our economy into high gear,” Holloway concluded.FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: 11/2/09
"With 9.8% unemployment, The time has finally come for NC to have a pro-economic growth tax system"

In the latest polling from USA Today/Gallup, 54% of Americans now say that Barack Obama’s policies are either liberal or very liberal. That number is up from 43% in November of 2008. USA Today/Gallup and Rasmussen polling is painting a picture of an America that is waking up to the realization that Obama's policies are not the Change for which they had Hoped. President Obama, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi and all the other left-wing wannabe socialists in D.C. have told us time and again that Health Care, and the socialization thereof, is the number one issue in America. Problem is you don’t agree. Not even close. In November of 2008, 64% of you said, “It’s the economy stupid.” A mere 5% of you went to the polls in 2008 to cast your vote for “Hope and Change” in regards to Health Care. Today, despite all the infomercials and Mr. Obama’s Network Tour-de-farce on national television (for which he’s probably been nominated for an Emmy) only 17% of you believe Health Care is the top issue. 41% of Americans say, “It’s the economy stupid”, and 18% of you say it’s Afghanistan. Afghanistan didn’t register in the polls back in November of 2008. Iraq, and the war there, was seen as the top issue by 11% of you. Remember Iraq. Remember the war there? Remember Obama’s promise of Hope and Change in Iraq. 66% of you ran to the polls in November of 2008 believing it all lock stock and barrel. Today, 56% of you still think Obama will bring the troops home safely from Iraq, and do it in a “way that is not harmful to the U.S.”. When do you people learn? It was actually candidate Obama who told us that Iraq was an unnecessary war, that it was Afghanistan which truly mattered. Back on election day, 58% of you thought a "President Obama" would bring our troops home from Afghanistan in a “way that is not harmful to the U.S.”. You do remember Afghanistan, right Mr. President? It's that little war you told us was far more important than was that big war in Iraq when you wanted our vote? In fact, Obama promised to step it up in Afghanistan and to bring Osama Bin Laden to justice immediately. That was back in July of 2008. Let’s not forget the doings over in Congress. Democrats control everything. That’s what you decided would best benefit our children's futures back in 2008 because you were mad at mean old George W. Bush. How do you think YOUR Congress is faring today? According to a daily tracking poll from Rasmussen, 15% of you think that Congress is doing “a great or excellent job”. Seriously, 15%! Where do the pollsters even find these lunatics? 53% rate Congress as doing a “poor” job. To say that Congress is doing a poor job is like saying the Titanic hit an ice cube. Rasmussen also takes a look at the numbers for Obama by party. Shockingly Dems approve, Republicans don’t. Here’s the really important number; among Independents or those that claim no party affiliation, 43% approve of Obama, and 57% disapprove of Obama’s performance as president. Rasmussen also looked at Health Care specifically. Remember, that the issue that Obama, et al, keep telling you is the most important single issue in the history of the Universe. Scott Rasmussen writes in the Wall Street Journal: “There’s also the reality that 74% of voters rate the quality of care they now receive as good or excellent. And 50% fear that if Congress passes health-care reform, it will lead to a decline in the quality of that care.” Why The Fuss! After all, the U.S. Government has done such a great job with distributing the H1N1 Vaccine, and the Post Office is awesome if you like long lines and surly attitudes, let’s not forget the outstanding work of the V.A. Hospitals. Seniors say Medicare is to die for. Some of you have awakened. How bad does it have to get for the rest of you?

The White House communications director, Anita Dunn, said FOX News is a “wing of the Republican Party…let’s not pretend they’re a news network.” To draw attention to its biased coverage, President Obama will not be scheduled to appear on FOX for the rest of this year.
This is the same person who in a recent speech to graduates said that said she “praises” Mao Zedong, one of the most prominent Communist theoreticians and mass murderer to this day.
In another grassroots effort to rally her position, the organizers of MoveOn.org sent out a blast email letter to its members with a link to electronically sign a petition in support of Obama’s decision to stay off Fox News as long as he does.
The petition says:
Democrats should support President Obama’s effort to call out FOX. Please stay off FOX for as long as he does.”
Democrats often appear on FOX in hopes of reaching out to conservative viewers. But FOX cuts off their mic, distorts what they say, or runs biased headlines at the bottom of the screen. In the end, Democrats always lose on FOX.
FOX insists there’s a difference between its news shows and its right-wing opinion shows with Glenn Beck, Bill O’Reilly, Sean Hannity, and others.
But in August, FOX’s so-called news shows “aired 22 clips of town hall meeting attendees opposed” to Obama’s health care plans and zero in support. CNN and MSNBC were more fair and balanced.
In another “news” story, FOX passed off a GOP press release as its own research—typo and all.
FOX executives now describe the channel as “the voice of opposition” to Obama’s agenda. FOX president Roger Ailes—a former adviser to Nixon, Reagan, and George H.W. Bush—said, “I see this as the Alamo.”
But a Capitol Hill newspaper reports, “In the House and Senate, Democrats who pledged to follow the administration’s near-boycott of Fox were hard to find, although many expressed support for Obama’s stance.”
Democrats will only find the courage to join Obama if they hear from enough concerned voters.
