Mobilize Voters to Foil Obama's Socialist Agenda

If anybody doubts that panic is setting in at the White House, let them contemplate the meaning of reports that President Obama plans to call out his ragtag army of voters who gave him the presidency in 2008 in an effort to save his job when the voters go to the polls for November's congressional elections. Ben Smith writes on Politico that the Democratic National Committee released a video of Obama expressing his goal of "reconnecting" with the army of first-time voters who voted for him in 2008 "but who may not plan to vote in the lower-profile Congressional elections this year." This is no idle threat, and it could shatter the dreams of tea party supporters and the huge mass of discontented Americans who hope to use the November elections to put a roadblock in front of Obama's drive to remake America into a Marxist republic. Obama, writes Smith, "speaks with unusual demographic frankness about his coalition in his appeal to 'young people, African-Americans, Latinos and women who powered our victory in 2008 [to] stand together once again'." He adds that "turning out those so-called ‘surge’ voters — who turned out for the first time to back Obama but who sat out gubernatorial races in New Jersey and Virginia last year — has become the Democrats' central preoccupation for the midterm elections and the new Democratic effort to nationalize the election around Obama and his agenda mark an attempt to energize those voters." Aside from the fact that the Democratic targets of this appeal are traditionally loathe to bestir themselves to vote in congressional elections, if somehow successful, this effort could allow Obama to hold on to control of both houses of Congress for another two years. This is a threat that Republicans and tea partyers who share the goal of unseating large numbers of Democratic members of Congress must take seriously. The very future of our nation is at stake on Nov. 2. The Congress, dominated by the likes of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, must be driven off Capitol Hill if the United States is to survive as a nation of free and independent Americans unburdened by a big government that views the U.S. Constitution with contempt.

Stumping for Democrats, Obama Uses Three Words to Describe America: ‘Big, Messy Democracy’

(CNSNews.com) – President Barack Obama repeatedly has called the United States a “big, messy Democracy" in his many campaign stops around the country in recent weeks.
Obama apparently is using the expression to defend his administration's difficulty in making "big changes" since he took office almost two years ago. “I know that a lot of times people wonder, gosh, you know, why did it take -- why did health care take so long [to pass]?” Obama said at a Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) fundraiser in a private home in Providence, R.I on Monday. “Well, this is not a monarchy we live in. This is a democracy. And it’s a big, messy democracy.
“And there’s supposed to be debate, and there’s supposed to be contentiousness, and it’s supposed to be hard to make big changes,” Obama said.
On Oct. 21, The Oregonian reported on Obama's trip to the state to stump for Oregon’s Democratic gubernatorial candidate, John Kitzhaber: "I told you during the campaign it was going to be hard," Obama said on Oct. 20. "Some of you didn't believe me. This is a big, messy democracy and the special interests won't go down without a fight, and sometimes it can wear you down."

Illegal Immigrants Canvassing for Votes in Washington State

Seattle (AP) - When Maria Gianni is knocking on voters' doors, she's not bashful about telling people she is in the country illegally. She knows it's a risk to advertise to strangers that she's here illegally -- but one worth taking in what she sees as a crucial election. The 42-year-old is one of dozens of volunteers -- many of them illegal immigrants -- canvassing neighborhoods in the Seattle area trying to get naturalized citizens to cast a ballot for candidates like Democratic Sen. Patty Murray, who is in a neck-and-neck race with Republican Dino Rossi. Pramila Jayapal, head of OneAmerica Votes, says the campaign is about empowering immigrants who may not feel like they can contribute to a campaign because they can't vote.
"Immigrants really do matter," Jayapal said. "If we can't vote ourselves, we're gonna knock on doors, or get family members to vote."
So far the illegal immigrants going door-to-door aren't meeting opposition. Craig Keller, an organizer for Respect WA, a group pushing for stricter immigration law in the Washington, said he doesn't mind illegal immigrants volunteering for vote drives, he just wants to make sure mistakes on the voter rolls don't allow them to vote.
"Anybody can go out and wave a sign, but when it comes to who's making the choices, there's no question they need to be citizens," Keller said.
In close elections across the country, the immigrant and minority vote is considered key for candidates, especially Democrats.
Earlier this week in Nevada, a television ad urging Latinos not to vote sparked outcry from Democrats, who called it a dirty trick meant to keep Hispanics home and boost Republican candidates. Univision and Telemundo -- the nation's two largest Spanish-language networks -- canceled the ad, which the Republican group Latinos for Reform had planned to eventually run in Nevada, Florida, California, Texas and Colorado through the Nov. 2 election.

We've Made Defeat of Harry Reid Our #1 Priority

More polls show that Sharron Angle has now taken a small lead over Harry Reid. We here at the Tea Party Express have already spent over $1 Million in our campaign to "Defeat Harry Reid" and elect Sharron Angle. But now the finish line is in sight and we must give it everything we have to win. You can do your part to help us win this race by making a contribution to Sharron Angle's campaign state senate today.
(AP) - Republican Sharron Angle claims Democrat Harry Reid gave Viagra to convicted child molesters in the ugliest ad yet in Nevada's contentious U.S. Senate race. In the TV spot, Angle alleges that the federal health care bill that Reid voted for allows convicted child molesters and sex offenders to use taxpayer dollars to pay for Viagra. The ad asks, "What else could you ever need to know about Harry Reid?" The health care law does not single out child molesters. Reid and many other Democrats, however, did shoot down a Republican effort to kill the bill by introducing an amendment to block the sale of Viagra to sexual predators. In other ads, Reid has said Angle supports sending jobs overseas and Angle has called Reid an ally of illegal immigrants.We need 813 more people who can contribute $100 or more within the next 72 hours. Here's one of the TV ads that we've been running that's proven most effective in moving the poll numbers in favor of Sharron Angle over Harry Reid: Take a moment to view the video below to see why we need to defeat Harry Reid now before he has a chance to do more damage to this country and its citizens with his overly liberal views.

Sharron Angle Tells Harry Reid to ‘Man Up’ in Contentious Debate

Las Vegas (AP) - Sixty minutes, two candidates and not a single moment of agreement. Instead, Republican Sharron Angle taunted Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid to "man up" Thursday night in their only debate of a close, caustic and costly race. Speaking more softly, Reid called her extreme, an ally of the special interests and advocate for jettisoning government agencies that millions of Nevadans rely on. "We can't trust you with taxes," the tea party-backed Angle said near the end of their 60 shared minutes on a debate stage, returning to an allegation made nearly an hour earlier that he had voted to raise taxes 300 times. Reid said in fact he and fellow Democrats had voted to cut taxes for 95 percent of all Nevadans and Americans in the past two years, and to reduce the burden on small businesses eight times. Later, it was his turn to attack, blending the national and the local as he did. Angle "wants to privatize the Veterans Administration. Think about that," he said, adding that a new state-of-the-art VA hospital would soon open in the state, the first in decades. "I worked hard on it," he said, referring to a facility that will be available to serve Nevada's estimated 246,000 military veterans

College Students' Enthusiasm for Obama Wanes, Poll Shows

Washington (AP) - The Obamamania that gripped college campuses two years ago is gone. An Associated Press-mtvU poll found college students cooling in their support for President Barack Obama, a fresh sign of trouble for Democrats struggling to rekindle enthusiasm among many of these newest voters for the crucial midterm elections in three weeks. Forty-four percent of students approve of the job Obama is doing as president, while 27 percent are unhappy with his stewardship, according to the survey conducted late last month. That's a significant drop from the 60 percent who gave the president high marks in a May 2009 poll. Only 15 percent had a negative opinion back then. It's not just students. Obama's support from many groups has ebbed since his early months in office because of persistently high unemployment and opposition to his plans to revive the economy and overhaul the health care system. But his diminished backing from college students raises further questions about whether the Democrats' efforts to rally them -- and other loyal supporters such as blacks and union members -- will be enough to prevent Republicans from winning control of Congress in the Nov. 2 elections.

Former President Bill Clinton Warns Democrats: It's always a mistake to underestimate your Opponent

For Democrats who think a Sarah Palin run for President would be a blessing for their embattled party, former President Bill Clinton has this warning. "Think Again"
In an interview with his former White House adviser George Stephanopoulos on Good Morning America, on Tuesday, Clinton said "it's always a mistake to underestimate your opponent"
After dodging a question over whether or not Palin is qualified to be president, Clinton noted the former Alaska governor's popularity among conservatives, "calling her a compeling, attractive figure." "The American people can elect whomever they they want," Clinton said.
On the campaign trail, Palin has proven to be extremely effective, with 25 of the 43 candidates she has endorsed winning primaries. Despitte recent polls which show low favorability ratings for Palin, the 2008 GOP vice presidential nominee draws huge crowds wherever she goes.
Time magazine political analyst Mark Halperin compared Palin to Clinton in his column last Monday. When asked about the comparison, Clinton let out a big laugh.

Pelosi, Democrats failed to deliver on ethics promises

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi promised four years ago that Democrats would lead “the most honest, most open, most ethical Congress in history.” But as her party defends its record with its majority in jeopardy, two prominent Democrats await ethics trials. Two other party members gave Congressional Black Caucus Foundation scholarships to relatives. Most importantly, lobbyists, corporations and special interests still have unimpeded ways to buy access to members of Congress.Take House Majority Whip James Clyburn’s annual charity golf tournament, which provides college scholarships for needy students in his South Carolina district and funds the endowment he established at South Carolina State University. It sounds like a worthy cause, but it’s a stretch to believe that national companies which sponsored the event randomly chose students in the 6th District of South Carolina as a priority for charitable giving.This articleis made aailable to our readers by CNN News.

Vulnerable House Democrats Declare Independence From Their Party’s Agenda

Las Vegas (AP) - Rep. Dina Titus has been a loyal soldier in pushing the Democrats' ambitious agenda, voting for health care legislation, extended unemployment benefits, new energy taxes and a repeal of the military's ban on gays serving openly. Her campaign signs, however, proclaim Titus an "independent voice" for Nevadans. Aware that their stock has taken the same tumble as home values, Congress' most vulnerable Democrats are declaring their independence from their party's agenda in Facebook profiles, television advertisements, news interviews and campaign websites leading up to the Nov. 2 election. That's when Republicans hope to retake control of the House they lost four years ago.The re-branders include Democratic Reps. Betsy Markey and John Salazar in Colorado, Zack Space in Ohio, Jason Altmire in Pennsylvania, Glenn Nye in Virginia and Joe Donnelly in Indiana. In Texas, Rep. Chet Edwards, once promoted as a potential running mate for Barack Obama, has become a vocal critic of his party's policies.

The tactic could hurt Democratic turnout at a time when the party needs to protect its majority in Congress, some political strategists say. "They want to get turnout as high as possible among those who vote for Democrats," said Joseph Bafumi, a government professor at Dartmouth College.
