			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>By Lon (Alonzo) Hosford</strong></p>
<p>Conservatives mounted an unprecedented citizens opposition to the US House Nancy Pelosi health care legislation. The rebuff effort has run 4 solid months from the last weeks in July to the November 7th vote and is regrouping to continue for as long as it takes. The US House passed HR 3962 with a 220-215 vote on a Saturday in the wee evening hours. The 215 represent the work of our conservative activism demonstrating our power to persuade. It was an awesome showing.</p>
<div class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 331px"><img class=" " title="Democrats Add New Load To Government and the People" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_e5pwU0LJbN8/Svbt6NIQQ6I/AAAAAAAAFFE/GDvztGfifOc/s800/democrat_donkey_overloaded_cart.jpg" alt="Democrats Add New Load To Government and the People" width="321" height="328" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Democrats Add New Load To Government and the People</p></div>
<p><strong>Trapped Like Rats</strong><br />
We knew they would pass some health care legislation. Democrats had to because their leader, Nancy Pelosi, had them trapped like rats. If any opposed it, the wrath of their own party will come down on the next election. If they supported it, the wrath of the people they face and that does not look good either. In fact it is less clear and definable in the Washington opaque bubble and so most ignored it and blindly voted yes.</p>
<p><strong>Citizen Conservative Opposition Redoubling </strong><br />
The citizen opposition and activism is on a learning curve since the first tea party events in April and July. Folks learned they had nothing to fear to attend those and hold a sign and support the speakers.</p>
<p>Many have broken off into action groups and just act, period, and some act daily. We have the tea party groups. We have small unaffiliated groups meeting in homes and taking action. We have some national groups independent of parties such as AsAMom.org. We have many who are ready to drop at a hat and take action. [See <a href="http://www.njcommonsense.com/national/dont-make-us-come-back-tea-party-minutemen-to-washington-dc/">Don’t Make Us Come Back: Tea Party Minutemen To Washington DC</a>]  These folks need more direction to the infected areas: the congressman and senators door steps in DC, local offices and homes; and often.</p>
<p>November 5th, activists learned in mass how to approach the House offices in DC. [See <a href="../national/kill-the-bill-house-calls-put-congress-offices-under-siege/">Kill The Bill: House Calls Put Congress Offices Under Siege</a>] I know one activist who likes to remain unnamed was down in the House Office building again Saturday all day and night lobbying. Now I want to be there next round with a sleeping bag if  necessary. This person called me a few times for help in researching facts on HR3962. This person then confronted Congressmen and aides in the battle.</p>
<p>After I outlined this piece this morning I received two emails talking about next actions their groups were taking. One was particularly detailed and I will append to the end here for you to review.</p>
<p><strong>Is All Lost &#8211; No We Have A Long Way To Go</strong><br />
Sure the House vote was a  legislative defeat. The original founders fought many battles and lost. They may have lost them all from what I recall in history classes, but they persisted to win the greatest victory in the history of civilization &#8211; individual freedom. Persistence and stamina are keys to success to take defeats to victories.  The fight just got traction a dozen weeks back. We are newbies on the block. Making conservatism the mainstream of government is going to take a long time of many battles to wear down the radical progressives as we did with the English King.</p>
<p><strong>Senate Health Care Battle</strong><br />
The Senate fight over health legislation still remains. There lies the chance to stop this health legislation or to make it less intrusive and less powerful. At least we must make it a painful victory for the other side. This means for New Jersey a statewide focus on the Senators Lautenberg and Menendez. However, there is also going to be an important interstate effort on  Senators from other states believed we can influence.</p>
<p><strong>2010 Elections</strong><br />
We have the 2010 elections that require immediate attention. Primaries are soon and candidate choices are on us <span style="text-decoration: underline;">now</span>. These are votes that do count. In the long run, the bills like the health bill will require power to change the oppressive parts and powers given to the administrative branch that overseas your health care options and costs. These votes are also how we are going to fight battles to slowly dismantle the oppressive progressive government we now have and will be bigger by 2012, the next national election.</p>
<p><strong>National 10 + 10 Conservative Network</strong><br />
You need to create groups of 10 that meet regularly from weekly to no less that twice monthly to discuss the issues and coordinate team actions doable within the group and items to support larger groups like you have with tea party protests. Each member of the group should also be hosting one group with a different set of 9 people. There is a movement on the way for this that you can link your group into and we can have the power of millions nationwide networked for instant action and solidarity.</p>
<p><strong>Minuteman Force In DC</strong><br />
We need a conservative minuteman force in the House and Senate offices in DC. They need to be a lobbying force with an ostentatious presence. If needed they need to be there daily and we should get support from Republicans on how to play the game and then improve on that.</p>
<p><strong>Addendum &#8211; Example Plan In  Action Received by Email Today</strong></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Dear Concerned Citizens,</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">In an odd way many of us have been waiting for the House to pass this atrocious and deceptive healthcare bill.  As groups, we are already energized.  But we knew that nothing could elevate our energy to irrepressible heights more than a massive overreach by Washington.  One that can still be stopped.  Well, we got everything we wanted on a silver platter.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Late Saturday Night, November 7th, Nancy Pelosi handed us the single greatest boost of the entire Obama saga!  In a 215 &#8211; 210 squeeker, Democrats and , John Dingell the sole Republican, passed HR 3962.   In her frenzied house chamber, Nancy&#8217;s Pyrrhic victory unwittingly fired &#8220;the shot heard round the world.&#8221;  Americans are more galvanized than ever!  And here is the plan moving forward.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Step one:  Objective:  Remove from office all Blue Dog Dems who voted in favor in swing districts by flooding their districts with selected pages from HR 3962 accompanied by clear explanations of the consequences and letting them know their representative voted for this.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">A. Will someone please volunteer to identify those Blue Dog Dems in the house who voted in favor and are not in &#8220;safe districts?&#8221;</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Step two: Objective: Notify HR 3962 proponents in the Senate that we are exposIng the bill and all who are planning to vote for it.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">B. Will please help identify Senate members to best target?</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Step three:   Objective: Complete and assemble materials to be forwarded and posted nationwide and accumulate network notification lists.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">C. Several people are now designing a flyer that will contain pages from the actual bill, explanatory notes and a covering email.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Step four: Objective:  To create a door to door nationwide transparency program exposing HR 3962.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">D.  Once the flyers are completed, we will ask everyone to forward them to everyone they know; pass the email on and; print 10 copies.  Hand out 5 to individuals and neighbors and tack 5 copies on local community boards such as a local supermarket or laundramat.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">THIS IS IMPORTANT:  Several of us have already spoken to representatives in DC, no names mentioned, and they think it is a fantastic idea.   Anyone who can help getting FreedomWorks and Americans for Prosperity onboard, please step up!!!!</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Target dates:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">* Flyer creation will be completed by Sunday evening, Nov 8</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">* Lists being accumulated today Sun., Nov. 8</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">* Blasts out by Monday, Nov 9 at 5 PM EST</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">* Door to door campaign and public postings November 11th &#8211; 13th.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Please forward this to all patriots to get ready!</p>

New Jersey, a State plagued by <a href="http://www.nj.com/corruption/" target="_blank">corruption</a>, finds no resolve in its elected <strong>Democrat representatives Albio Sires, Rush Holt, Donald Payne, Bill Pascrell and Frank Pallone</strong> to take action to stop it.</p>
<p>ACORN has 15% of its offices across the US exposed for supporting illegal prostitution of 13 year old girls and illegal immigration. ACORN CEO Bertha Lewis yesterday took the too little too late action to start independent investigation of failed leadership, internal audits and controls on money granted for their work directed to alleviate many impacted by the housing crisis.</p>
<p>The US House Of Representatives voted 345-75 <span>September 17th to strike ACORN funding. <em>5 of the 13 NJ Democrat representatives voted no to keep ACORN funding</em> are now known as the &#8220;ACORN Honor Role&#8221;. <strong>New Jersey represented 6% of the vote to continue funding.</strong><br />
</span></p>
<div id="attachment_307" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 551px"><img class="size-full wp-image-307" title="NJ ACORN Honor Roll L-R Albio Sires, Rush Holt, Donald Payne, Bill Pascrell, Frank Pallone" src="http://www.njcommonsense.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/NJACORNHonorRoll.png" alt="NJ ACORN Honor Roll L-R Albio Sires, Rush Holt, Donald Payne, Bill Pascrell, Frank Pallone" width="541" height="126" /><p class="wp-caption-text">NJ ACORN Honor Roll L-R Albio Sires, Rush Holt, Donald Payne, Bill Pascrell, Frank Pallone</p></div>
<p>ACORN receives funding from the Federal Government and is a key benefactor in the $787 billion stimulus package (<strong>$10,500 per New Jersey family</strong>)  passed by Democrats. This money was borrowed at 6% interest from places such as China. New Jersey bears a large part of this stimulus burden as the <a href="http://www.taxfoundation.org/taxdata/show/266.html" target="_blank">number 1 donor State contributing to Federal funding</a>. Lets see the care our representatives show over how it is spent.</p>
<p><strong>ACORN Squanders Funds To Alleviate Those Hurt By Government Caused Sub Prime Mortgage Crisis</strong></p>
<p>A national calamity with Federal quasi Freddy and Fanny mortgaging agencies sub prime loan activities have left millions of Americans with underwater mortgages. Many, now without a job, have succumbed to foreclosures and their lives destroyed by these two agencies. Many are young families starting out with hopes and dreams dashed. ACORN offices prove they have initiative to spend money, directed to them to aid this pain, at any cost including illegal activities harming the lives of young 13 year old women made even more vulnerable as illegals.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>NJ Democrat Representatives Albio Sires, Rush Holt, Donald Payne, Bill Pascrell and Frank Pallone<br />
Vote To Continue The Failed Funding</strong></p>
<p>Representatives Albio Sires, Rush Holt, Donald Payne, Bill Pascrell and Frank Pallone votes show their insensitivity to destroying the lives of young women rather than stopping it and making a statement to all Federal funding recipients it will not be tolerated.</p>
<p>Their insensitivity is extended with their votes supporting an organization that wastes money intended to help those American lives damaged by the Federally run mortgage programs. Such destruction of lives is less visible than the <a href="http://www.capmag.com/article.asp?ID=325" target="_blank">Government housing project failures from the 1940s</a>. Yet it is accented by the failure of the ACORN funding as a continued pattern of Democrat intentions to provide Government run housing and failing for nearly a century. ACORN misuse of funds and ineptitude highlight Government run housing that destroyed the lives of those living there and now the destruction of the national economy by initiating in 1999 the sub <strong>prime mortgage crisis through Fannie Mae as written in <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/1999/09/30/business/fannie-mae-eases-credit-to-aid-mortgage-lending.html" target="_blank">NY Times in 1999</a>.</strong></p>
<p><strong>ACORN Funds Promote Voter Registration Fraud</strong></p>
<p>ACORN previously performed an inept harmful role in National elections. The cultivated environment of corruption found in the ACORN housing offices was demonstrated in the ACORN employees engaged in voter registration. Rather than performing their jobs under standards and accountability, they were allowed to fail at their work and pad performance results with illegal actions. These are how Democrat Representatives Albio Sires, Rush Holt, Donald Payne, Bill Pascrell and Frank Pallone vote to use American funds.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>ACORN Funds Help The Poor Engage in Illegal Election Activities</strong><br />
<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="560" height="340" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/_a_9-g4pMj0&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="560" height="340" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/_a_9-g4pMj0&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p><strong>Much of New Jersey has 16% Unemployment Stupid<br />
</strong></p>
<p>With <a href="http://www.nj.com/business/index.ssf/2009/09/nj_unemployment_matches_us_rat.html" target="_blank">45,000 New Jersey residents exhausting 79 weeks of extended employment</a> you know we have a problem. When you study New Jersey unemployment data you find that outside of Government employment cities like Trenton, the unemployment rate is 16% and growing. The funds coming from stimulus are not keeping up because New Jersey is a donor State and funds other States. The money coming back is a negative to the money going down to Washington.</p>
<p>Democrat Sentators Lautenberg and Menedez and these ACORN honor role Representatives Albio Sires, Rush Holt, Donald Payne, Bill Pascrell and Frank Pallone are the front row pawns of the Democrat liberal agenda. This agenda is harming the citizens of New Jersey. Supporting wasteful use of New Jersey Federal dollars both now and on the interest of the national debt for decades to come are a result of voting for wasteful spending tied to corruption and illegal intentions.</p>
<p>Albio Sires, Rush Holt, Donald Payne, Bill Pascrell and Frank Pallone stand up to your own Democrat Party and demand New Jersey contributions not be wasted. Show spine not ignorance.</p>
