Biden Says, "Tea Party is Good for Democrats" & Guarantees Winning House & Senate

Poor Joe doesn't realize his dwindling constituency is slowly becoming nothing more than the radical progressives and liberals out there in lefty land. 

Many JFK type Democrats & Reagan Democrats are feeling deserted by how their long cherished political party has turned more into a patio party for progressive policies & out of control spending are starting to identify with the Tea Party movement.

From The Hill -- (emphasis added)

Biden, speaking at a fundraiser in Chevy Chase, Md., for Sen. Barbara Mikulski, said the energy of the Tea Party might inspire a lethargic Democratic base to turn out and vote in November.

“Maybe the best thing to happen to us lately is the Tea Party wins," Biden said. "Maybe it’ll shake some of our constituency out of their lethargy.”

The vice president also offered a "guarantee" that Democrats will defy predictions and maintain control of the House.


“I guarantee you we’re going to have a majority in the House and a majority in the Senate. I absolutely believe that,” Biden said.

The vice president conceded that voters are "angry against whoever is in power," but he said that Democrats “have a heck of a record, a heck of a positive record to run on."

Yeah.... awesome record Mr. Vice President! 

With unemployment as it is, our oh-so dandy economic outlook, who knows how many $???? trillion debt, rising health insurance premiums, out-of-control spending, the stampeding of the Constitution & our rights, trying to pass back door legislation, issuing edicts through regulation, and a government growing almost as large as our Presidents head --  you & your progressive pals should have no problem being voted into the Hall of Political Failures!

Action Alert / Call Today: Help Rep. Tom Price Pass Lame Duck Congress Resolution

ACTION ALERT

Today September 23rd, the House will vote on another Lame-Duck session resolution offered by Rep. Tom Price (R-GA).

Price’s second attempt to prevent stealth legislation from getting through a lame-duck will be slightly different than his resolution the last time around.

The new resolution states:

That the House of Representatives pledges not to assemble on or between November 2, 2010, and January 3, 2011, except in the case of an unforeseen, sudden emergency requiring immediate action from Congress, and that the consideration of any of the following matters does not constitute an unforeseen, sudden emergency:

[including]

• Any legislation pertaining to the Immigration and Nationality Act.

TAKE ACTION!

Anti-English provisions could easily be added to a bill that proposes changes to the Immigration and Nationality Act during a lame-duck, so we want to make sure that doesn’t happen!
Limiting a lame duck session will decrease the risk of Congress attempting to jam through stealth legislation.

TAKE ACTION!

Call and email your representative now and tell them to support the Price "Limit the lame-duck resolution" by voting YES TODAY!

Tea Party Patriots receive $1 million donation to advance "Core Values" NOT Candidates

In an interview with the Washington Times, Tea Party Patriot co-founders, Mark Meckler & Jenny Beth Martin, talk about the $1 million donation we received and how it will be dispersed to the local groups.

From The Washington Times --

Organizers behind one of the largest "tea party" activist groups said Tuesday they have received a $1 million commitment to help grass-roots organizations for the midterm elections and said they were ready to take up President Obama's challenge to offer specifics on fixing the nation's problems.

The Tea Party Patriots — which claims connections to more than 2,800 smaller groups — will receive the money through an anonymous donation and will distribute the money by Oct. 4, backers said.

Though Tea Party Patriots organizers said the grants are to help those smaller groups improve their organizational efforts during the final weeks of the general election, the money cannot be used to endorse a candidate.

The only other restriction is that the money must be used to further the movement's core tenets of limited government, fiscal responsibility and free markets.

"This is to help groups on the ground become more efficient, not tell them what to do," Mark Meckler, the Tea Party Patriots' co-founder and national coordinator, said at a news conference at the National Press Club in Washington.

He said the group also is responding to President Obama's call Monday for members of the movement to identify specifically what they would do to help revive the economy and create more jobs.

In a televised town-hall meeting on CNBC on Monday, Mr. Obama acknowledged the legitimate concerns of tea party activists, but added, "The challenge for the tea party movement is to identify specifically what would you do."

Jenny Beth Martin, the Tea Party Patriots' other co-founder and national coordinator, said the group is "happy to take [Mr. Obama] up on that."

Mr. Meckler said the group now has a feature on its website where visitors can post solutions that will be forwarded to the White House. More....

18th OH House District Candidate Mike Dovilla Endorsed by OH Patrolmen's Benevolent Association

In a local OH House race that is sure to be exciting, Mike Dovilla, Candidate for the 18th Ohio House District, recently received the endorsements of the Ohio Patrolmen’s Benevolent Association and the Ohio Restaurant Association.

Dovilla, a small business owner, a U.S. Navy officer and decorated combat veteran of Operation Iraqi Freedom, is challenging current State Rep. Matt Patten, a community organizer, for this seat.

Patten voted to support our current state budget which is predicted to have an $8 Billion bust and in January 2010 and Patten signed a letter as part of the Coalition of Legislators for Energy Action Now to President Obama, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi calling for economically devastating “climate change legislation.”

The 18th District is composed of Berea, North Royalton, Olmsted Falls, Olmsted Township, and Strongsville.

Teddy Trashes the Tea Party & Ignores his Failures as OH Governor

Actually Governor Strickland, many of us would wish you would admit your self-described failure on school funding and absolute failure on the State Budget which is predicted to have an $8 Billion bust instead of attacking Americans fighting to save our country....

"Let me tell ...you this: I am so committed to solving this school-funding issue that if I become governor, and I do a lot of wonderful things but I fail to address this school-funding issue, I will have been a failed governor." -- Ted Strickland 2006

Congressman Hal Rogers (KY-05) Introduces Bill to Stop the EPA’s War on Coal

Standing up to the EPA's continued attacks on the coal industry through regulation & the purposeful bureaucratic delay of issuing permits, Congressman Hal Rogers (KY-05) has introduced HR 6113, The Electric Reliability Protection Act.....

Washington, DC, Sep 15 - Today, U.S. Congressman Hal Rogers (KY-05) spoke at the FACES of Coal rally on Capitol Hill and energized hundreds of coal miners who traveled from all over Appalachia to make sure their voices were heard. Rogers spoke out against the EPA’s war on coal and introduced legislation, H.R. 6113, the Electric Reliability Protection Act, which would stop the EPA and Administration’s attempt to regulate coal mining out of business.

“At a time when our nation faces 9.6% unemployment, bureaucrats in Washington are trying to put an entire sector of our economy out of business,” said Rogers. “From the devastating Cap and Trade bill, to the EPA’s absurd directives on carbon dioxide, to continued delays in the coal mining permitting process, the Administration is threatening 1 out of every 4 Appalachian coal mining jobs. Because of these political games, 2 billion tons of coal are going untapped – that is enough to power the nation for two years.

In effect, this bill would stop the Czar like tactics of EPA Director Lisa Jackson and would force the EPA to allow the public a chance to voice our opinion on the heavy-handed regulatory tactics being implemented to destroy not only the coal industry -- but small business which are being stealthily attacked under the guise of the Integrated Urban Air Toxics Strategy.

Helping to enable these guerrilla-like tactics by the EPA are Congressman Dennis Kucinich, Congresswoman Betty Sutton (OH -13) & Congressman John Boccieri (OH-16) -- all supporters of the House Cap & Trade bill. With Ohio bleeding jobs and a predicted $8 billion bust in our state budget (thanks to Governor Strickland) one would think these three Pelosi puppets would do everything in their power to do what is best for OH. But we see that is not the case and it appears they would rather see our state unemployment rate and your electric rates go higher than the national debt!

Please contact these N/E Ohio Congresscritters, urge them to sign on in support of the Electric Reliability Protection Act and if they don't.... remind them November is coming!
