If you're outraged, speak out now

Is anybody out there outraged at what is going on in Washington by the president and the Democrats?

This health care bill is a joke! On a bill that could effectively change America, the Democrats are wheeling and dealing. This state gets this, that state gets nothing. There are so many groups and special interests exempt from either paying taxes on their Cadillac insurance plans or exempt from mandatory insurance.

Now tell me folks, how is this fair? Big campaign promises, no taxes on middle income families, out the window. Will not cave to special interests, out the window. This will be an open debate, televised on CSPAN, out the window. A bipartisan effort, but no Republican leadership has ever been invited.

This health care bill is going to tax you to death. It's going to cost jobs and our national debt is going to soar.

You've got to call your representatives and senators and tell them to stop this madness. Tear up this insane bill and start over.

The president announced today a special tax on businesses that received TARP money. Over two thirds of that money has been paid back, with interest.

There are two businesses that have not paid one cent back to the government and are exempt from this special tax. Any guesses who they are? That's right, GM and Chrysler are exempt from this special fee. What kind of people are running this place? Call Washington, call the president. This is absolutely insane what's going on. Call now, call often.
