Tom Paine Discusses Stimulus

This is a MUST SEE VIDEO
In a great video, Bob Basso as Tom Paine, provides his views as to the current sorry state of affairs from stimulus, congressional pay raises or illegal immigration. He appeals to his countrymen to rise up and make yourself heard through letters to your congessmen, e-mailing talk radio or just rally around the capitol building in DC to let them know what you think.

CBO: Deficit Underestimated by 2.3 Trillion
The Congressional Budget Office says Congress' budget estimate for next 10 years is off by 2.3 trillion dollars which is "unsustainable". This is a recipe for financial disaster unless government spending is cut drastically or some of the new programs are postponed. Congress must restructure the budget and stimulus bills. Obama doesn't see the problem. Hello!



Glenn Beck's 912 Project now has 162,000 members and counting. New members are joining everyday with many joiners expected this week. There is a tentative We Surround Meetup scheduled for April 17.


The Tea Party Initiative is also gathering momentum having gotten off to a good start a few weeks ago followed by a huge rally in Cincinnati where more than a thousand supporters gathered. American Solutions is also joining in and recommending affiliation with the Tea Party Coalition started by New American Tea Party. Meanwhile Tax Day Tea Party has scheduled rallies in hundreds of locations across the country on April 15 (tax day of course). Some estimate that more than a thousand separate rallies will be held nationwide on that day. Locations on Long Island may include Riverhead, Wading River and Lindenhurst. Your tea bag may get ripped out of your envelope if you send it to a congressman. (postal authorities always worried about controlled substances). It has been suggested that you send just the tea bag tag or even a photo of a tea bag so that they get the message.
