[Peace-discuss] Fw: We're unstoppable

Tue Aug 18 17:01:43 CDT 2009

This is an actual item I received today.  I am convinced that the groups on
both "sides" of the health care debate and debacle are in error.

_*
Left-Wing THUGS Attack Americans Opposed to "ObamaCare*_
It's getting ugly out there. All across the country, left-wing 
extremists are disrupting congressional town-hall meetings
with venomous attacks on anyone who voices their objections to Barack 
Obama's plans to socialize American health care.

· At a town hall meeting with Rep. Kathy Castor in Tampa, Florida, as 
she was introduced,
the reaction was overwhelmingly against her, with boos and chants of 
"You work for us."
In the lobby, you could hear the counter of Planned Parenthood 
representatives shouting,
"Healthcare Now." Shortly thereafter, violence erupted, where three big 
"goons" came out
and started pushing and roughing up the people in line and in the 
hallway, at one point
even using a chokehold on one of the people.  Police officers on the 
scene did nothing to
prevent the violence being perpetrated on these citizens trying to 
exercise their free
speech rights -- citizens who far outnumbered those who were allowed to 
stay.

· At a town hall meeting with Rep. Russ Carnahan in St. Louis, Missouri, 
police arrested six people for assaulting constituents who
were opposed to the health care takeover. As reported locally, "Kenneth 
Gladney, 38, a conservative activist from St. Louis, said he
was attacked by some of those arrested as he handed out yellow flags 
with 'Don't tread on me' printed on them. He spoke to the
Post-Dispatch from the emergency room at St. John's Mercy Medical 
Center, where he said he was awaiting treatment for injuries
to his knee, back, elbow, shoulder and face. Gladney, who is black, said 
one of his attackers, also a black man, used a racial slur
against him before the attack."

Many Representatives have announced they won't be holding any town-hall 
meetings after seeing that their constituents are OPPOSED
to the socialist "ObamaCare".  We've got a plan to fight back against 
these radical left-wingers. Barack Obama's "Organizing for America" 
group is sending out
Alerts to get their people to come out to townhalls to shout us down 
with "powerful voices". MoveOn.org has hired skilled "grassroots
organizers" -- meaning, people like the union thugs in those videos -- 
who are working at townhalls across the country to give the impression
that there's ANY support for Obama's plans to socialize health care in 
America. They've built new online tools to track events
across the country -- and to make sure MoveOn members turn out at each one.
They're raising hundreds of thousands of dollars to push their far-left 
agenda, against the true grassroots uprising we're witnessing in
America.

WE'RE FIGHTING BACK -- but we need the help of patriotic Americans like 
YOU to succeed!
Can you chip in a donation today to support our work?

If the bullying tactics of the left-wing goons are successful at 
suppressing the only true grassroots voices our senators and representatives
hear over the recess, we'll have a hard time stopping the socialist 
plans of Obama, Pelosi and Reid in September.
That's why we're getting the word out about Town Hall meetings across 
the nation -- we've created a new ad for television and radio,
we're sending millions of email to our members to fight back with a 
strong town hall turnout, we're offering personalized blast faxes to
every single member of Congress, and we're activating an energized 
network of on-the-ground constituents who aren't afraid to speak
out against ObamaCare and the bullying tactics of the Left.  This month 
could decide the future of health care in America-and we're already one 
week in. If you've been sitting on the sidelines,
now's the time
