A newsflash from C. Brooks Neilsen informed me of Congressman John Fleming's Amendment to the Health Care Bill that would urge the members of House & Senate to "enjoy" the same care as the People eventually get.
The text of HR 615 follows:
Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives 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.
Now, I don't personally feel this is strong enough, but so far, Rep. Fleming is the only House Member inviting the People to comment on such an Amendment.
You can make your voice known to Congressman Fleming and the entire Congress by going to his House web site. He's serious about this Amendment, and has devoted the FRONT PAGE of his site to a comment form that you can send to support OR oppose his Amendment. Go for it, folks!

The (yes, I know I keep promising) Daily Bug ... From Glen Beck, "The PLAN" & once & for all, the Obama, SEIU, ACORN, Stern & Soros connection ... and a few words of thanks
Well, I know that there are some Patriots out there who can't get Glen Beck, so here's my posting of both "The PLAN" & his great program section on "the connection."
For those of you who have to work or sleep during his program, or live at the bottom of a well eating bugs and worshiping hairballs (hey, ya never know ...) Glen Beck is the prime target of the Progressives and the White House and the Op-Media, and ... you know my drift.
Like yours truly, he's dedicating his life to waking up the American voting public.
He's not just stopping there, knowing that we tend to get a cuppa' joe, a bagel and then go back for a nap. Nope, he's serious about helping all of our confused or tired or frightened peers, and making sure that they know they're not alone.
So, without further editorial ado-do ("eeeeewwwww!"), here's Glen:
Preamble:
And "The PLAN"
As Glen suggested, I've gone to his site and am working on getting him to come to the Savemart Center with "The Plan." I hope that you'll join me, and join in planning to be one of those who will attend the August 28, 2010 Rally in D.C.
Now, the second "payoff" piece:
To put your word in for a Fresno site, go to http://www.glennbeck.com/content/articles/article/198/33398/
Any questions? Fine, lets get on with local fun.
Thanks to Breitbart.tv for the leads, and YouTube for allowing freedom of editing, which allowed other users to take Media Matters chopped up take on Glen's announcement , and edit it back together.
See, even Progressive shills can be useful.
!!!
Meanwhile, back here in "Dullsville":
Bill Beckham reports on the Central Valley Tea Party social site about this pithy video from the NUHW, posted at Breitbart.tv:
So, another small nail in the SEIU coffin. I've had the pleasure of speaking with "rank & file" members of numerous Unions in the past year, and without fail they're outraged at the continuous offenses committed by Union thugs. We're just waiting for them to rise at their meetings, as we did at the Town Halls, and take their Unions back. I hope it wil happen soon.
Thanks for the help, Bill!
!
From the Wall Street Journal & Meet the Press, via Drudge, Sen. Joe Leiberman says some interesting things, with Sen. Di-Fi looking on, doing her best "Old Stone Face" impression:
The questions that had persisted, and bugged me and others was exactly "WHY?" Senator Leiberman decided to vote to advance this Bill. This makes it all clear, and allows me to say that the microscope will now be applied to the entire process.
It will allow us to point out to "We, the People" who are finally paying attention, what's actually happening. Instead of simply "punching the pillow & rolling over," or just ordering another latte, we'll be able to "HOWL!" about exactly how screwed up the entire Legislative process has become.
Just as Sen. Mary Landrieu made clear just how eager her Leadership was to advance their "Historic" Bill at any cost to "We, the People," Sen. Leiberman see's a "win-win" in exposing how business as usual is done in the Senate. Remember "I voted for it, then I voted against it"?
"The spin" is what will make your head spin, eventually.
Whatever the spin is, what's actually happening is that the Progressives are showing us just how corrupt their "system" is.
The neat thing is that so many of us are now awake & willing to raise a ruckus!
The final word on this one is that we all have an opportunity to get out there, stand with our signs, call and write and email and ...
UP THE VOLTAGE!
(Be sure to follow the WSJ link and read their analysis.)
!
After what can honestly be pronounced a whirlwind tour, the three Relay Teams met and delivered the donations of patriotic and charitable folk from all over the Nation.
Along with all of the local efforts, the great folks of the Tea Party Patriots and Families Protecting the Valley have made a real difference in gaining National attention to the plight of Valley Farmers, and the Workers who've been so deeply affected. In addition, they've been able to point out how easily any other part of America could become a casualty of Enviro-Hypocrites.
Keep it up, Patriots!
!
The Daily Bug is available at least a few days of the week at the NObama County Register.
Feel free to comment or reply or make fun of me or give some sort of feedback, since I sometimes get kinda lonely at this nice little keyboard.
I promise that I'll keep trying to annoy you into talking back.

My letter to Senator Boxer
Dear Senator,
Having seen many of your recent replies to concerned constituents, I'm very skeptical about the possibility of seeing you and our other Senator act in a responsible and realistic manner.
Earlier this week, your constituents were treated to a preview of what the rabid moves for the "public option' will eventually mean for us all ... that is, except for such elite members of the Government as you, and those who have the foresight to play your game.
The finding by a "Government Panel' that women really don't need those pesky mammograms and pap smears after all was a real wake up call for those who've been holding out hope that we hadn't just been lied to.
Ma'am, as an old salesman, it's illegal in California to pull a "bait & switch." It would be far better for you and Mrs. Blum to council your colleagues to pull back, sit down and really attempt a "bi-partisan," free-market based health care reform bill. You might actually visit your nice Fresno office, and actually talk to some of us "little people" about health care. And, as a final suggestion, you should fess up, tell the Truth, and be real about what the public should actually expect in the future from Medicare, et al.
I know this is a radical departure from your usual course of treating your constituents like dopes, but it might actually save us from booting you out of office next year. In fact, if we're convinced enough, we might actually decide you're through dissing us, and support you.
Imagine that.

Rep. George Miller: King of Compassion, Bringer of Health Care
Just a note to comment on that "oh so" compassionate philanthropic misanthrope, Rep. George Miller.
Who knew that George, who has made clear his blind rage and spite for anyone living in California's Central Valley who dares to make a living off of the Land, was so concerned about anyone who doesn't work for the SEIU?
As reported on CBS Radio News, George declared that "Now, no one will have to go without Health Care!"
As if anyone has had to, anyway. Even illegal immigrants and welfare mothers know that no Emergency Room is allowed to turn anyone away. That's illegal.
The truly shameful thing about Health Care is how the Legislative Branch of Government and their Bureaucratic lapdogs have engineered an ever increasing cost spiral, while insuring that their Allies in the Unions and other "Special Interests" like the AARP & AMA , as well as "Ambulance Chasers," get an ever increasing paycheck from the Government.
Shame on you, George, and shame on every one of your fellows who engages in this bald deception.

A letter to Senator Feinstein on Health Care Re-Form
Dear Senator,
In contrast to my diatribes of last week, I'd like to thank you for your continued publicly stated doubts on the fictional Health Care Re-Form "Bill" now being rushed through the Senate. Please pardon me if I show any lack of trust in your veracity.
However, after being burned by Representative Radanovich and his turnabout on the Bush Stimulus package last fall, I will be following your words and votes as this "Bill" goes ahead or flounders.
Be assured that, as a true Independent, the single most important goal of the People's Representatives in my eyes is to re-form all of the functions that you and your predecessors have assumed toward the People. We both know that what has been promised as "entitlements" are totally unrealistic, as unrealistic as "Environmentalists" who show their hypocrisy by tarring Farmers, while they ignore the sewage being pumped into the "Bay" Delta by municipalities who are controlled by their supporters.
I'm sure that you're aware that the fastest growing political segment in California are Independents. We're fed up to the scalp with secret deals and lying connivers, and Politicians who negotiate away what we've built. We Independents feel less than no allegiance to Parties, and Party Politicians. Whether you're a Democrat or Republican or any other Party, we are now awake, and checking your votes. More importantly, we're verifying your words and assertions, and will stand with folded arms as you speak, and hold you to your words.
It would do your personal cause well to comment and vote favorably about requiring a transparent Citizen review process of any Health Care Re-Form "Bill" before casting any vote in its favor. I predict that any vote for such a "Bill" will be to the detriment of your career.
In closing, I hope that you are more thoroughly informed of the true desires of your full constituency in re: Health Care Reform than on Central Valley Water Policy. As a lifelong part of the Private Sector, I've seen the good that can be done by promoting competition, and the damage that is uniformly done by Government monopoly. We're surrounded by examples, especially here in Fresno, and it's time to change this tide.
Sincerely,
Kris Rowe, http://nobama-county-register.blogspot.com
