Don’t give up the ship!
Are you feeling let down after the Heath Care “Reform” bill passed? Are you angry because Tom Periello voted for the bill despite the overwhelming outcry from his constituents? Please see this post on our visit to Periello’s office.
Don’t give up the ship.
Killing the bill in the House was always a long shot. And we came within 5 votes in a Democratic Congress with a huge majority. Obama and Pelosi had to expend a lot of capital to ram this monstrosity through. This wouln’t have even been close without all of the hard work done by community activists like us…
The real fight on Health Care Reform and Cap and Trade is in the Senate. That’s where we have the only chance left to kill both of these job killing/freedom robbing/economy destroying/Constitution destroying bills. And it’s our best chance.
Please don’t let up. Call Senators Webb and Warner and make your voice heard. This can be stopped in the Senate.
Tired of these games yet? I am. The only way to stop this madness is to vote in politicians in 2010 and 2012 that will support free markets, the Constitution and common sense. In case you don’t know, Tom Periello voted for Cap and Trade and Health Care Reform. If we don’t boot him out of office next year, we have only ourselves to blame.
And the only way to keep new politicians on the right path is for us to be vigilant and vote them out when they start being swayed by the belt way mentality.
That will be the long term goal of the Roanoke Tea Party.
But in the short run keep the heat on Webb and Warner. Let them know that their fate and Creigh Deeds fate will certainly be the same if they vote for Cap and Trade or Health Care Reform.
Here is the Contact information for our Senators. Keep fighting!

To make it easier, the phone numbers to call are listed below:
Call Mark Warner at 202-224-6295
Call Jim Webb at 202-224-4024
We should also continue to let Perriello know what we think of his decision to vote for this bill by calling his Washington office too at 202-225-4711. Perriello was rated as the most vulnerable Democrat for re-election next year by The Washington Post. Let’s make sure we let him know his days are numbered!
I will confess to several swear-words as the count kept running upward towards the dreaded 218. Couldn’t help but notice the lone republican “yea” vote waited until the 218 had been attained before voting with the democrats. I later learned it was Rep. Cao, of Louisiana. (wouldn’t wanna be him monday morning!) O.K. fellow patriots… we lost this one, but we lost it swinging. Time to heat up the tea-kettle on Sen. Warner & Webb.
I was just thinking this morning – if there are any members of Roanoke Tea Party who live in Congressman Boucher’s district, this week would be a good time to call and thank him for the “No” vote on health care reform, then ask him to pass those sentiments on to our Senators, Webb, & Warner who share membership in the Democrat party.
Someone from another post referred me to a site called http://www.Dearpolitician.org to write my politicians. The site is really cool in the fact that it automates everything and you can write your President, Vice President, Senators, and Congressman. The really interesting parts are that you can write complete Senate and Congressional committees. After you write what you want to say in the body of the template, you can print them off and mail them yourself or you can have Dearpolitician.org fax them to their offices instantly for FREE. If you want your letters delivered today, go to that site! Just passing along a cool site!
