Here are some emails I received from people who attended the Health Care protests at Senator Brown's office. Clearly this is another non-representing representative whose staff has been drinking too much of the MSNBC Kool-aid.
People kept their cool.....but (I) some expressed our anger and outrage for the government stealing our money and stealing the best health care in the world (because of the free market) and the exceptional doctors and medical staff. This associate of Sen. Brown acted as if government was the answer to everything....forgetting the benevolence of doctors and charities.
This associate said that Sen. Brown is not on federal health care benefits. He is probably on his wife's medical coverage. But if the government takes over all health care eventually, you can bet those two will hop right back into the elitist government health care benefits. We danced all over this guy when he handed us a crock.
We mentioned a "referendum" on Senator Brown or any other Senator who votes for this health care "deform" bill.
This associate of Sen. Brown tried to paint us in a corner like we were some fringe group. He obviously does not know that each of us represents thousands of like-minded citizens. Every call, email, letter, represents thousands. We are not just single taxpayers with a gripe. We are U.S.A. patriots who want to save our country and its future. The little twit was a bit condescending and forever presenting the democrat, socialists talking points. So does that mean Sherrod Brown is just Senator to the socialists? Did he or the democrats ever bother to look at the free market alternatives that would not create a government bureaucracy? No.
One man asked repeatedly if Sen. Brown read the Cap and Trade bill. After repeatedly asking that question, the Brown associate could only answer that his aides read it.
Also, we discussed Cap and Trade issues, the Stimulus Package (I & II) and TARP.....and why government keeps punishing businesses and overtaxing and overburdening citizens through all the hidden taxes that get passed on to us. We want Stimulus I to be repealed.
And another..
A large number (30 or so) went into Brown’s office to express our thoughts and to hear what Brown had to say. The 5 min conversation developed into a 1 and ½ hour discussion. A strong message was delivered. The “one thing” that came out of that meeting for me was that Brown is representing a constituency that does not include us.
Senator Brown is part of the committee creating the draft healthcare plan. The current plan is available online. It includes a government insurance provision but individuals will be able to keep their insurance (temporarily). Call his office, be relentless, get your friends to call, educate the public.
The most significant thing to me was the large number of average folks passing through the lobby at the Galleria. They see us with signs and knew we were not happy campers. Many had NO clue. Some made negative comments. Most were in another world. It made me think about pre-Hitler Germans that were just going through life with out any awareness of the terrible future they had. My view is that if things continue down this path were will see a future that will shock us. Many of those who think we are silly today will wish they had gotten involved only to find out it is too late. Very strange time we are living in.
Well well. It looks like we'll be making more visits until they start to "get it".

Health Care Tea Party After-Action Report
As they are still coming in, I have not seen the totals for the nationwide numbers, but if OH was any indication, but I am overly confident this was a smashing success. Now we will have to wait to see how effective it was, and I believe a difference was made. Here is a post at American Power highlighting some of the events at the nationwide Tea Party Patriot Health Care rallys.
On the Cleveland front, Patriot Brian manned the Kucinich office, Diana, head of the Cleveland 9.12 group and CTPP supporter, lead up the efforts at Sherrod Browns office for us. I was at the sleeper's office - Marcia Fudge. I call Fudge a sleeper as many people are not yet familiar with her. Fudge will make the late Stephanie Tubbs-Jones look like a conservative. This woman is driven by entitlement type of thinking and race-driven politics.
On to the report...
From Brian at the Kookcinich location;
Brian... and it was a job done well!
From Diana on the Sherrod Brown location;
Even though Brown appears to be a clueless cad, tries protecting himself from the public with a paid storm trooper and his office is staffed by a little snot-nosed, snarky, not so thrilled-spitless staffer paid for with our tax dollars -- Diana's & the others efforts at this location -- was surely NOT a lost cause!
My report from the discreetly hidden offices of Rep. Marcia Fudge...
For those curious about the content of the Tea Party Patriot Health Care quiz delivered to these tormented electors, you can read it here. Kookcinich, Brown & Fudge were asked to submit their answers back to us no later than Tuesday July 21. They were informed that the answers will be made public. They were informed "no comment" is unacceptable and/or failure to reply would indicate a "refusal to answer."

On to the report...
From Brian at the Kookcinich location;
Where to begin? Our group was lively and about 80 strong.
Very interesting to see the reactions of the cars passing by on busy Detroit Avenue. Reactions ranged from wild horn honking and raised fists of defiant support, to ambivilence, to confusion, with a very few hostiles.
The Kucinich staffers were caught entirely off guard. They did come out to speak with us, making every effort to be good soldiers for their boss. They listened, occassionally responded, asked for our individual names and specific questions (this did not play well with some). At one point, one of the staffers wondered out loud if we had been paid by outside interests to show up for an hour. This elicited the indigant response you imagined it would and showed us all that these libs just don't get it. We are here, we're for real, and we're not going anywhere. I think they now have a sense of that where they did not a few short hours ago.
I did give them the List Of Questions from Teaparty.org and they promised a reply. Uh-Huh........riiiiiiiiiight.
We did what we set out to do. Now we need to follow up and follow through.
I have been going to tea parties from their inception. There was a real undercurrent of anger at this one. I think people understand that they are tightening the screws and that there is urgency in all of this. We were, of course, civil but one has to wonder how long that will last.
I want to ask these folks, "What makes you think that the hard-working among us are going to sit by while you redistribute wealth as you see fit? What makes you think we won't push back? Do you really think you can govern without the support of the industrious?"
Anyway, we did our jobs and can't wait to do it again.
Brian... and it was a job done well!
From Diana on the Sherrod Brown location;
Our protest exceeded my every expectation. I anticipated maybe 10 - based on the sickly number of RSVP's. But there were over 30 of us, and I don't know how many more, because some contingent went straight up to Brown's office, while the other 30 were on the sidewalk. TV8 Fox showed up.
At about 12:45 we went up to Brown's office, and it's a good thing I had called the office the day before. It got our protest signs past the security lady who was presiding over her petty fiefdom and expedited our passage into the elevators. Brad, a 26-year old staffer, met with all 30 of us in the conference room. I gave him the questionnaire and the press release on the bill removing Congress's exemption from national health care. Brad the Brat was unprepared for the level of anger, articulately expressed by most of the citizenry, and was pretty condescending (even so, I wrote him a thank you, as we are supposed to be the grown-ups).My report on the 9.12 page does not quite reflect what we thought of him - but it's a semi-public record. Brad could not get it through his head that government health care = rationed health care. He continues to insist that the Senator opposed rationed care. Well, that's what we are up against. This group challenged him effectively, and then he just got snarky.
What I got from the meeting - which lasted over an hour, was (1) Brown doesn't care what his constituents want, his office just goes through the motions (2) he might be persuaded for whatever reason to vote no on cap and trade, even though he is 100% wrong on the causes of climate cycles. (3) He's a lost cause on healthcare.
Even though Brown appears to be a clueless cad, tries protecting himself from the public with a paid storm trooper and his office is staffed by a little snot-nosed, snarky, not so thrilled-spitless staffer paid for with our tax dollars -- Diana's & the others efforts at this location -- was surely NOT a lost cause!
My report from the discreetly hidden offices of Rep. Marcia Fudge...
Upon arriving, we went in Fudges office, introduced ourselves and asked if Rep. Fudge was available. The aide stated Fudge was at the Wolstein Center for a seminar. We then handed him the TPP Health Care quiz for Fudges with the instructions one where she could forward her answers and then kindly asked if would like to join us.
At Fudges office we had 17 the whole time and then a few people stopped by during lunch and a couple even pulled over and joined us. We even had a Bedford Councilman (a registered Democrat) come out and join us. All together we had about 20-25 people show up through the hour. Shortly after we started, the horns started honking in support of our efforts.
During the time we were there, we had several people stop, and then voice their support after learning what we were doing. Some even stuck around and joined us. One gentleman left work after a fellow worker told him about the protest. He said he loved it and had to come and make sure it was true!
The manager at the Citizens Bank next to Fudge's office came out and stated that we were hurting her business by protesting against Fudge. ( I wonder if they got bail out money Though she was dealt with kindly, she was told socialized health care would hurt her bank much more than our protest. Funny that as the bank employees were going for lunch, most gave us a thumbs up and a acknowledging nod of approval.
For the District Fudge represents, I am thrilled with the turn out we had. In fact, I am happier than Obama would be at a Saul Alinsky book club meeting or a Rev. Wright sermon. This S/E area of Cleveland is a democrat stronghold. I really thought we would only get maybe 3 or 4 other people.
For those curious about the content of the Tea Party Patriot Health Care quiz delivered to these tormented electors, you can read it here. Kookcinich, Brown & Fudge were asked to submit their answers back to us no later than Tuesday July 21. They were informed that the answers will be made public. They were informed "no comment" is unacceptable and/or failure to reply would indicate a "refusal to answer."
NOW WHAT?
Now we pick up the phones and work on the Blue Dog Democrats. I called them yesterday and the voicemails of all but one were full. That means we need to call them again, and again and again. We need to fill their voice mails up every day. This will only take about 5-10 minutes of your time.
There are eight “Blue Dog Democrats” who sit on the House Energy and Commerce Committee. If these eight Democrats do not support the terrible House version of the health care bill, we may be able to stop it.

A letter from a Patriot
Today I got this email from a fellow Cleveland Tea Party Patriot. Read on my friends...
I am severely insulted.
I am insulted by the liberal members of congress and the people who put them there,
and by the mainstream media who diligently strives to keep them there. I am insulted by
our education system that refuses to educate students about the founding of our country
and its principles and values.
I am proud to say that I served my country at a time when it was needed most. Of three
and one half years of active duty, two years were spent in Viet Nam trying to control the
spread of communism. Now sixty-six million uninformed, misinformed, and/or just plain
stupid voters have put a communist in the White House. If this offends you, it’s just too
bad. You either drank the Kool – Aid or still have your head in the sand. And I am
insulted by it. Every veteran should be.
This country is headed for Hell in a hurry with an inexperienced, illegitimate buffoon at
the controls and it’s going to take a miracle to stop it and reverse its direction. We need
another American Revolution, but I’m too old to fight and I can’t shoot very straight any
more. The next revolution has to be civilized and non-violent. The next revolution has to
be at the polls. My suggestion is to vote out any incumbent, unless you are sure he or
she is on “our” side, the side of low taxes and limited government.
To prevent what happened at the last election, we must do our homework before the
vote is actually cast. If you don’t have the time to do the research, don’t vote. It’s not
your civic duty to vote. A very wise man once said “if you don’t know what you’re doing,
don’t do it”. Our president never proved his citizenship, never released his higher
education records, and never should have been a candidate.
And don’t rely on your friends and family members for information about the candidates.
They might have got the word form an “unfriendly” who wants the enemy elected. Never
listen to what the candidate promises. Both Hitler and Castro promised “change” and
were elected on that promise. And the change was bestowed upon them!.
If the candidate is an elected official, check his voting record. He must consistently vote
in favor of the constitution and the rule of law. If he's not already elected, he should be a
successful businessman, who has been responsible for his profit and loss. If he’s a
lawyer, or a union member, he’s probably not a good candidate.
As this paper is titled, this is strictly my opinion. Use this information as a guide. I don’t
think that the party you vote for matters much anymore, as long as the candidate knows
and respects the constitution and the values set forth by the founding fathers.
Thanks for reading this and letting me vent. If I sound frustrated, I am. I just think we
have to do something. I am not content to sit idly by and watch our federal leadership
break all the rules and have nobody try to stop it. We have a system of checks and
balances and nobody is watching the store. If they can’t be stopped, they must be
replaced.
In the mean time, don’t be afraid to write your congress critters. Let them know what’s
on your mind. Even if you think they won’t read it, or don’t care what you think, keep the
pressure on. Some congressmen recently admitted they changed their vote because of
the flood of hate mail.
If you think this can help our cause, please forward it to everybody in your address
book. Maybe it will reach enough people to make a difference.
One very insulted Viet Nam veteran.
Are you insulted? I am. And if your not, you should be because your either brainwashed or not paying attention. The freemarket is crumbling, the government debt is unsustainable. Think of government debt as a ball and chain that's attached to every living, breathing American. Right now we are staggering to stay on our feet and if we go down, we ain't getting back up. And all the while, the government keeps spending and making a mockery of every tax paying American. They make the problems, and we pay for them. Only this time, not wanting to waste a good crisis, while your wearing balls and chains, they're eating every last morsel in your kitchen. WAKE UP AMERICA!

ALG Calls Upon House to Adopt Fleming Resolution
Calling for End to Congressional Exemption from Obama Health Care
July 16th, 2009, Fairfax, VA—Americans for Limited Government president, Bill Wilson, today called upon members of the House of Representatives to adopt a resolution (H. Res. 615) stating that "Members who vote in favor of the establishment of a public, Federal Government run health insurance option are urged to forgo their right to participate in the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program (FEHBP) and agree to enroll under that public option."
The measure is sponsored by Congressman John Fleming and currently has 42 cosponsors. On his website, Fleming writes, "Under the current draft of the Democrat healthcare legislation, members of Congress are curiously exempt from the government-run health care option, keeping their existing health plans and services on Capitol Hill. If Members of Congress believe so strongly that government-run health care is the best solution for hard working American families, I think it only fitting that Americans see them lead the way."
"What's good for the goose is good for the gander," said ALG's Wilson. "If members of the House are expecting everyone to be a part of this government-run system, then they should be taken off the Federal Employee Health Benefits Plan and put on to this so-called public 'option' since they like it so much."
Currently, members of the House and Senate are covered by a health care plan offering a wide variety of options, including private coverage, according to the Federal Employee Health Benefits Plan website, "Federal employees, retirees and their survivors enjoy the widest selection of health plans in the country."
As participants, members of Congress can choose from "Consumer-Driven and High Deductible plans that offer catastrophic risk protection with higher deductibles, health savings/reimbursable accounts and lower premiums, or Fee-for-Service (FFS) plans, and their Preferred Provider Organizations (PPO), or Health Maintenance Organizations (HMO) if you live (or sometimes if you work) within the area serviced by the plan."
"It's time for Washington to stop acting like an aristocracy, where Congress treats itself to luxuries and forces everybody else into convoluted, inefficient, and low-quality so-called 'options,'" said Wilson.
"Members of Congress know that the system they are proposing will be much, much worse than the health options they currently have," Wilson added. "What they need to acknowledge is that it will also be much, much worse than the options the American people currently have."
Wilson also called upon the House Committees on Education and Labor, Ways and Means, and Energy and Commerce to adopt a binding measure that would require all members of Congress to enroll in the government-run health insurance option if lawmakers adopt one.
A similar provision, proposed by Senator Tom Coburn (R-OK), has already been adopted in the Senate version of the bill. In order for it to be included in the House version, the "three-in-one" committee currently considering the legislation needs to add it in.
The Coburn amendment passed by a vote of 12-11 in committee with Senators Chris Dodd (D-Conn) and Ted Kennedy (D-Mass) voting with Senators John McCain (R-Ariz), Orrin G Hatch (R-Utah), Richard Burr (R-NC), Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn), Tom Coburn (R-Okla), Pat Roberts (R-Kan), Judd Gregg (R-NH), Johnny Isakson (R-Ga), and Mike Enzi (R-Wyo) in favor.
In committee, Senator Coburn said, "Let's demonstrate leadership—and confidence in the system—by requiring that every member of Congress go into it." 11 Democratic members voted no, including Senator Jeff Bingaman (D-N.M.), who said, "I don't know why we should require ourselves to participate in a plan that no one else needs to participate in."
"Senator Bingaman is still sticking to the big lie that the public 'option' will at all be optional," said Wilson.
"The unfortunate impact of this government-run health care proposal will be to crowd out private options, leaving Americans in the end with no other option but to use the Orwellian, abominable, government-run plan that will burden taxpayers with an insurmountable level of debt. This will be the largest government entitlement in human history, and it will break the public treasury," Wilson concluded.

Sign Our On-line Petition Against Socialized Hellthcare
The National Tea Party Patriots would like to ask you to support & sign our online petition at
www.freeourhealthcarenow.com.
Our goal is to obtain 1,000,000 signatures on the petition before it is delivered to Washington. With your help, we can reach this goal! If you support our efforts and are against socialized "hellthcare" please forward this to your friends.
I am confident in stating that we can all agree some sort of fix needs to be done in addressing the health care problems in our country - but socialized medicine is not the answer. The latest proposals will have the government taxing our medical insurance deductions and imposing a $1000 fine on anyone refusing coverage.

Our goal is to obtain 1,000,000 signatures on the petition before it is delivered to Washington. With your help, we can reach this goal! If you support our efforts and are against socialized "hellthcare" please forward this to your friends.
I am confident in stating that we can all agree some sort of fix needs to be done in addressing the health care problems in our country - but socialized medicine is not the answer. The latest proposals will have the government taxing our medical insurance deductions and imposing a $1000 fine on anyone refusing coverage.
Name the Useless Political Aide Award Contest
Hello Patriots,
Thanks for taking part in this historical event - the first ever Cleveland Tea Party Patriot Award! As we all know there comes a time in a persons life where their accomplishments need to be recognized - and this we will do - but we need your help.
In our recent visit to Columbus we visted the offices of our State Senators. Walking into Senator Gibbs's office we were greeted by a greasy fingered, fried potato slice (chips) eating (stuffing her face) flunkie being paid on our dime. This "can't eat just one" aide & her potato chip crumb decorated shirt embodies all that is wrong with our government.
Trying to explain the reason of our visit and our concerns about the proposed budget, this chip-crunching chick seemed more concerned about getting the last crumb from the corner of her $.99 bag of chips!
With this, we need your help in naming a Useless Politcal Aide Award. Before putting your crayons to paper, click here and read CTPP Co-coordinator Glynn's complete description of the incident on our CTPP Blog. I bet hot steam coming from Glynn's ears as this chip chomping took place aided global warming by melting a few more icebergs.
We will conduct a vote on the best submittals. I will start if off and offer the first two suggestions;
- Tea Party Patriot Putz of the Week Award
- Tea Party Patriot Sewer Pickle of the Week Award
