Have the Tea Party Patriots been issued a challenge?

Patriots while temporarily halting the country killing initiatives of Cap & Trade and any one of the health care proposals, we must know our hardest work is yet to come. You can be assured, since we slammed the front door shut, they will be coming through the back door, down the chimney, through the window and up through the cracks in the floor boards in creative ways of enacting as much as they can with this legislative larceny.

Patriots we know more than 6 people showed for the D.C. 9.12 event like the media is inaccurately reporting, we know had it not been for the efforts of all the groups involved in this struggle -- Cap & Trade, along with a terrible health care reform would have been forced upon the American public several months ago.

Our resolve must not and must never waiver! This is what some are anticipating and it sounds as if our hearts, souls, & commitment are being challenged.

From Bloomberg.com --

President Barack Obama told a group of Democratic Party donors in San Francisco he’s determined to outlast his critics to move ahead on his agenda, including revamping the health-care system and financial regulations.

“Some of our opponents think they are going to wear us down,” Obama said at a fundraiser for the Democratic National Committee last night at the Westin St. Francis Hotel in San Francisco. “I’m not tired, I’m refreshed.”

Patriots -- are you ready to meet this challenge head on? Let's send the message in our October Surprise... Like our Colors, Patriots don't run!

October Surprise Rally at the Cleveland Clinic

Tea Party Patriot October Surprise

In the next few weeks, Tea Party Patriots will challenge you to keep our republic. It is going to take effort, energy, time, and commitment. It is a multi-prong approach that involves protests, faxes, and visits to Congressional Offices both in DC and at local offices.

The focus of the October Surprise will be asking our Senators and Congressmen to vote NO on government takeover of health care and NO on Cap and Trade. The October Surprise is intended to get the media saying, my god they're back, bigger than ever and where are they coming from?

Last Thursday, in an emergency conference call, over 100 national and local Tea Party Patriot organizers around the country unanimously supported a recent proposal to hold new week long rallies in over 650 cities around the country.

On October 19th, in unison with our fellow Tea Party Patriot groups holding these rallies across the country, the Cleveland Tea Party Patriots will send our message & host our rally at the world famous -- Cleveland Clinic.

• What: October Surprise
• When: Monday 10/19/09
• Time: 3pm - 5pm
• Where: Cleveland Clinic Main Campus / J Building (Click Here for Directions)
• Directions & Parking: Parking Garage #1 (Click here for directions)

Tell your friends & neighbors -- invite your own doctor to attend the rally! This is the start of the final push towards government run health care. This is NOT the health care reform we need or the kind of health care reform most Americans want. As Americans, it our duty & responsibility to stop the hijacking of our country! This can only be done with your help!

Regarding the health care battles in D.C., the administration said today, "We' re not tired......we' re just getting started." Let's meet this challenge head on with a huge crowd at the Cleveland Clinic and send the message back -- "Neither are the Tea Party Patriots -- so bring it on!"

For more information, sign ideas, or setting up car pools go to the Forum section on our website (Click Here). For more information on the current Tea Party Patriot Health Care Action Alerts (Click Here).

This rally is being hosted by the Cleveland, Lake County, Geauga County, Lorain County & Medina County Tea Party Patriot groups.

See you on Monday!

Cleveland 9-12 hosts Weekend Protest at the Plain Dealer

A big problem in our country today is the MSM, the fishwraps called newspapers and how they routinely misrepresent the facts to fit their agenda. A perfect example of this would be the recent Sissy March in DC. Approximately 10,000 gays, queers, he/she's and freaks had a sissyfest in DC for Gay Rights. The MSM and newspapers couldn't give this event enough coverage and was the topic of the day(s).

On the other hand -- 2 million conservatives from across the country gather in DC on 9/12 and the coverage was scant at best and crowd estimates were not even close to being accurate. Here in Cleveland we are routinely subject to the eye-bleeding print of the paper not fit to line a bird cage or potty train a puppy with -- The Plain Dealer (or Propaganda Dealer for some of us).

The tree-killing rag, The Plain Dealer (PD), routinely misreports conservative events or news at a national and local level. This rag, the PD, is one of the main reasons Cuyahoga County is in the situation we are in today as the PD routinely endorsed and gave out blanket endorsements for many of the officials involved in the Cuyahoga County corruption scandal. Not to mention how they always spread the propaganda for the silver butt bullet projects pressed by the so-called leaders of this area.

Topping off the propaganda being spewed by this slowly dying fishwrap would be none other than Connie Schultz and her vile scribblings. If Schultz is not pushing propaganda for her husband Senator Sherrod "Single Payer" Brown she is usually heaving attacks on anything conservative -- or better yet, anything that is not in line with her progressive thoughts.

The below rallies being hosted by the Cleveland 9.12 is only the start for what many of the conservative groups have in OH for the PD. Along with this, a campaign targeted at the few advertisers the PD has left will soon follow shortly thereafter.

From the Cleveland 9.12 Group --

Operation: Can You Hear Us Now?

Over 120 rallies across the country are scheduled for Saturday, October 17 to protest bias in the mainstream media. The Cleveland Downtown 9.12 Project is holding two rallies.

[1] Rush Hour Rally

Friday, October 16, 4:30-6pm
The Plain Dealer 1801 Superior Ave. Cleveland, OH 44113

[2] Nationwide Media Protest Rally

Saturday, October 17 1pm-3pm
The Plain Dealer Production Center
4800 Tiedeman Rd , Brooklyn , Ohio 44144

Over 1.2 million Tea Party Patriots and 9.12 members marched on Washington , DC to protest legislators who are no longer listening to their constituents. Rally-goers protested, e.g., reckless spending, big government, and corruption. Much of American did not know about this protest (the largest in US history) because most of the mainstream media failed to report it. So we are taking the protest to the media itself.

For further information, please go to the national website at http://www.operationcanyouhearusnow.com/

Tea Party Patriots -- "Our Time is NOW!"

H/T Jeff & Amy of the Medina County Tea Party Patriots --

Please act NOW

Time is running out!

Keep focusing on the 13 Senators as well as Snowe, Lincoln and Pryor.

There is only one thing that can stop our government from taking over the healthcare system – that is YOU and millions of grassroots activists like you! We must do this NOW. There is no time to wait.

We had a great conference call Wednesday evening to discuss the current healthcare legislation. From the information shared on the call, we have revised our action plan for the week. We have added a few additional action items to our original Action Alert from Monday night.

According to the experts in DC, the legislation will probably go to the floor of the Senate on October 19th and to the floor of the House on October 26th. So what we must do NOW is continue the action plan from earlier in the week and take the following action steps:

Contact Senators Snowe, Lincoln and Pryor

First action step is to contact Senator Olympia Snowe from Maine and the two Senators from Arkansas. These Senators need to hear from us more than any other Senators. When contacting their offices, let them know that while you may not live in their states, their votes affect all Americans and that you’d be happy to support their next campaign, if they listen to the American people. If they don't listen to the American people, you would be happy to contribute to the campaign of their opposition. Their contact information follows:

Senator Olympia Snowe (ME)
Chief of Staff: Unknown
Washington, DC: (202) 224-5344 / (202) 224-1946 fax
Auburn: (207) 786-2451 / (207) 782-1438 fax
Augusta: (207) 622-8292 / (207) 622-7295 fax
Bangor: (207) 945-0432 / (207) 941-9525 fax
Biddeford: (207) 282-4144 / (207) 284-2358 fax
Portland: (207) 874-0883 / (207) 874-7631 fax
Presque Isle: (207) 764-5124 / (207) 764-6420 fax

Senator Blanche Lincoln (AR)
Chief of Staff: Elizabeth Burks (elizabeth_burks@lincoln.senate.gov)
Washington, DC: (202) 224-4843 / (202) 228-1371 fax
Little Rock: (800) 352-9364 / (501) 375-7064 fax

Senator Mark Pryor (AR)
Chief of Staff: Bob Russell (email address unknown)
Washington, DC: (202) 224-2353 / (202) 228-0908 fax
Little Rock: (501) 324-6336 / (501) 324-5320 fax

According to a recent AP article, Snowe is looking more favorably at the bill, since it received a “positive” cost report. Read the full article here. We really need to apply the pressure. If she swings to the other side, there is a greater chance of the Senate getting the 60 votes it needs for cloture.

Help Kill The Bill

Together we can “Kill the Bill”

Focusing on 13 Senators who could turn the tide

Over the past couple of weeks, we have put the pressure on the Senate Finance committee to let them know that we do not want the government to takeover healthcare. The time has come where the legislation will be voted on within the next 2 to 3 weeks, and we need to turn up the heat!

One of our messages over the next week needs to be No Vote for Cloture. This means that if we can get one Democrat Senator of the 60 not to vote for cloture, we can kill the bill! According to one healthcare expert, there are 13 Senators that we have the possibility of turning to cast a vote against the bill! Of these 13 Senators, two are up for reelection in 2010. The time has come for us to target and pressure these 13 Senators!

You can do your part and stand shoulder to shoulder with other Patriots this week by applying pressure to these 13 Senators.

To make this as easy as possible, the Tea Party Patriots have broken the country into five regions and the 13 Senators into five groups. This allows us as a national movement to stagger the calls from each region, inundating the Senators with calls every day this week. For our region, we are being requested to call:

Tonight: Group #3 (Pryor, Warner, Begich)
Tuesday: Group #4 (Byrd, Carper)
Wednesday: Group #5 (Webb, Tester)
Thursday: Group #1 (Bayh, Bennet, Lieberman)
Friday: Group #2 (Nelson, Lincoln, Landrieu)

All of the contact information is listed below. Also, please target the Senators' local district offices when calling, as the local offices are not used to getting pressure like the DC offices. When making your calls and sending your emails, please be sure to make four simple points:

• No Government Takeover of Health Care
• No Public Option
• No Mandates
• No Vote for Cloture

We ask that you also email the Chief of Staff for each Senator.

Of course, you can always do more and call more than just the one group assigned to your region that day! If you want to call more, we would suggest calling and emailing the Senators in Group 1, because these are the ones that are up for reelection in 2010.

If you want to do even more, please focus on the Senate Finance Committee. You can get all of their contact information here (

http://teapartypatriots.ning.com/page/health-care).

One last point – when calling a Senator' office from another state, you can tell them that their vote will affect all Americans. You can also let them know you will be happy to contribute to the campaign of their opponent the next time they are up for reelection!

Thanks for all you are doing! Together we can Kill This Bill!
