Many Tea Party Republicans who Hate our President and want to end "ObamaCare" are frequently those on government assistance (eg: Medicare, Medicaid, Unemployment, filing bankruptcy, etc.)
Here are some examples: Example 1: LA Times reports: Mary Brown, a 56-year-old Florida woman who owned a small auto repair shop but had no health insurance, became the lead plaintiff challenging President Obama's healthcare law because she was "passionate" (red-faced angry) about the issue. Brown "doesn't have insurance. She doesn't want to pay for it. And she doesn't want the government to tell her she has to have it," said Karen Harned, a lawyer for the National Federation of Independent Business. Brown is a plaintiff in the federation's case, which the Supreme Court plans to hear later this month. But court records reveal that Brown and her husband filed for bankruptcy last fall with $4,500 in unpaid medical bills. Brown's small auto repair shop near Panama City, Fla., closed, and she and her husband filed a Chapter 7 bankruptcy petition. Brown said in the petition that her only income was $275 a month in unemployment benefits. Brown's bankruptcy, unpaid medical bills and government assistance (unemployment benefits) could change Brown from a symbol of proud independence into an example of exactly the problem the healthcare law was intended to address. The central issue before the Supreme Court is whether the government can require people to buy health insurance. Under the law, those who fail to buy insurance after 2014 could face a fine of up to $700. The business federation, along with other critics of the law, calls the insurance mandate a "threat to individual liberty" that violates the Constitution. Obama administration lawyers argue that the requirement is justified because everyone, sooner or later, needs healthcare. Those who fail to have insurance are at high risk of running up bills they cannot pay, sticking the rest of society with the cost, they argue. Brown's situation, they say, is a perfect example of exactly that kind of "uncompensated care that will ultimately be paid by others." "This is so ironic," Jane Perkins, a health law expert in North Carolina, said of Brown's situation. "It just shows that all Americans inevitably have a need for healthcare. Somebody has paid for her healthcare costs. And she is now among the 62% whose personal bankruptcy was attributable in part to medical bills."
I've lived a long time and I've never seen the world in the state of turmoil such as it is today. Now is the time that All Americans, ALL People of the World should be very vigilante.
Over the last several decades, the rich and powerful have succeeded in capturing enough political power to control the vast majority of economic capital in our country and in the world. They control 99% of the wealth. They want to continue to control this wealth. However, they can only do so if their programs continue, including tax breaks for the rich, ending health/environment regulations and outsourcing jobs to the lowest bidders. They know and understand that in order to fund their misdeeds, social programs have to be discontinued. Programs like Social Security and Medicare must end in order to pay for their programs.
The Rich/Powerful (e.g. Koch Brothers) have been wise. They already controlled Republican Conservatives. However, they realized, through the Bush years and after Bush, in 2008, allowed the economy to meltdown, the Public started getting wise to their dirty tricks. They had to stage a major coup to get the American Public on their side. They did it with the formation/funding of the Tea Party. With the help of Fox News, Glenn Beck and a few key Republican extremists, they formed/funded several Tea Party organizations and websites. Through grassroots campaigns, they somehow convinced White, Middle Aged, Rural Americans to champion their causes, including extending their tax cuts for the rich and cutting Social Security and Medicare. This was an amazing feat, considering most the of these Tea Partiers are (or know) someone on Social Security, Medicare or unemployment. The Rich/Powerful were able to manipulate their TeaParty members into supporting their causes primarily due to their hatred of our Black President.
However now, the rich and the powerful realize they have gone too far. They are seeing the American People and the People of the World AWAKEN! At long last, it is evident to the World that we are at a crossroads. We can either continue to go along this same path, the path of the past, the path that allows the rich elitists to control the world and stop this wonderful experiment we called America.
America! The land of Immigrants. The land of the Free! The Home of the Brave. Where ALL PEOPLE are created EQUAL and we ALL can Achieve the American Dream, regardless of race, color, creed, ethnicity, gender or sexual preference. A land where there is help for the helpless, hope for the hopeless and we care for our elderly and sick.
People in America and across the world have to make a choice. Will we continue down the road where the Rich and Powerful control the Economies of the World or will WE THE PEOPLE stand up to them and say NO?
The rich and the powerful realize their time of reaping and pillaging is almost over. They believe they have to put a stake in the ground and drawn a line in the sand if their power, their rule, is to continue. They need a Republican in power to carry out their Dirty Tricks. They will do it at ANY Cost!
I URGE EVERY AMERICAN TO REGISTER TO VOTE IN 2012 AND TO VOTE!
We The People must be ever vigilant to their Dirty Deeds if we are to change our course and ensure that this Beautiful Experiment is to continue! AMERICA - the Land of Immigrants, the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave, where ALL PEOPLE are Created Equal, and WE THE PEOPLE can Achieve the American Dream!
God Bless America! God Bless Our President - Barack Obama!
Tea Party Republican Lamar Smith has AGAIN outed himself for being the RACIST he is! Racist Smith is threatening DHS's Janet Napolitano to release the names of Dreamers and Non Felonious Workers SAVED by President Obama's Morton Memo.
As I have frequently reported, President Obama has SPARED deportation of thousands of Dreamers and non Felonious criminals due to modification of deportation guidelines established by the Morton Memo on Prosecutorial Discretion, issued by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in June, 2011.
Tea Party Repubican Racist Lamar Smith, is NOT HAPPY with the Morton Memo. Smith is threatening to enforce a subpoena for "criminal" immigrant information "to the fullest extent" of the law, after claiming the Obama administration "stonewalled" his request.
Since June, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Lamar Smith has been seeking a comprehensive list of names and other information for the thousands of Dreamers and non-felonious immigrants who are flagged, but not taken into custody or deported due to President Obama's "Morton Memo." Earlier this month, a subcommittee on Smith's panel subpoenaed the Department of Homeland Security for the information, claiming the DHS was "not acting in good faith." It was the first subpoena issued by Smith's committee since it came under GOP control.
On Friday (11/18/11), Racist Smith wrote a letter to Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano urging her to "immediately comply" with the subpoena. Smith's memo stated: "If you do not comply, the committee will be forced to seek enforcement of the subpoena to the fullest extent allowed by the law."
PASS THE DREAM ACT & COMPREHENSIVE IMMIGRATION REFORM NOW!

Hello. My name is Dee. I live in Texas. I am an American. My ethnicity is Hispanic. Many would call me Mexican or Mexican American. Some call me a female, PRO-Immigration Reform - Ann Coulter.
My parents, their parents and theirs were all born in the USA.
My husband and I have been happily married for over 20 years. My husband is a big, Irish-American. We have two grown sons. We are happy and my family is doing well. I have been employed as a mid level manager at a very large, well known corporation for over 25 years, now recently retired.
In May, 2006, after the Immigration Marches, I started seeing the cable news channels talking very negatively about illegal immigration. I found many internet sites were talking negatively about legal and illegal immigration issues as well.
Since I do research on the job, I started conducting Immigration research on the web. I joined several Immigration websites and I researched others. I´ve learned so much about Immigration issues over the last year.
What you don´t see on the internet is the Mexican American perspective.
I am here to share my views with you.
