A Million Calls, Ten Million Voters
October 31, 2008

Do you believe Barack Obama will be a disaster for America? If so, consider this.

We’ve got only this weekend and Monday to do it, but We the People can defeat Obama simply by picking up the phone, calling mom and dad, calling friends and asking them to do the same — with everyone asking their parents to share the message with relatives and friends.

Of course, there’s the alternative in which mom and dad get things going by dialing family and friends.

Time’s a wasting, so let’s get right to a plan to reach not only millions of retired Americans and Americans with retirement on the horizon but also their children, who are concerned about their parents’ futures and their own.

Mom and dad, I’m calling about the election because I’m worried about your future and mine if Obama wins.

First — Our Economic Future

Yes, we’re in some really tough times right now that we’ve got to work hard to fix.

But Obama wants to spend a trillion dollars on new government programs — every penny of which will have to be borrowed.

A trillion dollars borrowed — on top of the 10.5 trillion dollar national debt, the 450 billion dollar deficit projected for next year, and the 750 billion dollar debt Congress just created.

Now, what do you think that kind of mad spending will do to the economy, the stock market, and your economic future?

Second — Health Care

How many times have you heard Obama say he wants to insure 50 million people who have no health insurance without ever telling you where he gets that number?

Know why? Because the 50 million includes 10 million people who aren’t even United States citizens.

How long do you think you’ll wait for a medical procedure when 10 million non-citizens flood the health care system?

Can you believe it? Obama will make elderly folks, the folks who need health care the most, pay the price for his insulting, dangerous health-care-for-votes scheme.

And that’s not to mention how a country in the economic dire straits Obama always talks about can afford to insure 10 million non-citizens, most of them illegal aliens.

Surprise, surprise. The man who believes in redistributing your wealth — even on orders of the Supreme Court — also wants to redistribute your health care!

Third — Tax Cuts

Obama never explains how he can cut taxes for almost every taxpayer — when 40% of people pay no federal income tax.

Do you know why? Because the man who has a long history of supporting redistribution of wealth wants to create a new federal welfare program, one that will be permanently cemented into the tax code.

By the way, regarding the “tax cuts” Obama wants to give people who pay no taxes: Have you ever heard of a federal program becoming smaller as the years pass?

Finally, One Other Thing

Mom and dad, you taught me to choose my friends carefully. In fact, you always said, “Tell me who your friends are, and I’ll tell you what you are.”

You also taught me to choose friends I’d be proud to bring home and introduce to you.

Well, have you noticed that time after time, Obama has been forced to say he won’t be inviting former friends “home” to the White House, especially as advisers?

But they were good enough to be friends and advisers before they were exposed as radicals.

Well, here are some questions about Obama’s long pattern of radical associations and alliances:

How can Obama say he sat in Reverend Jeremiah Wright’s church for 20 years and never heard Wright’s racist, anti-American rants?

Why did Obama think it no big deal to sit on an education committee headed by Bill Ayres, an unrepentant terrorist and life-long, far-out radical, especially given that the “education improvement” consisted of harming Chicago children with left wing propaganda instead of enriching them with good teaching in the three R’s?

Why does Obama think it no big deal to be an “often over for dinner” friend of Rasheed Khalidi, a man closely associated with the terrorist PLO?

Why did Obama think it no big deal to make a special effort to attend a dinner in Khalidi’s honor, where he gushed over him as others spat upon Israel — with other “gushers” being — surprise, surprise — Bill Ayres and his wife, former terrorist Bernardine Dohrn?

Can you even imagine a man who has had intellectual and emotional relationships with such radicals as president — as commander-in-chief?

Well, that’s it, mom and dad.

I hope you’ll agree that Barack Obama is not the kind of man you want to be in charge of your economic future, your health care future, indeed, America’s future.

I know I don’t. And I hope that together, we can be part of sharing our thoughts with ten million Americans.

That’s the plan, We the People.

It can work — if, for your parents, your children, your friends and relatives, and yourself, you’ll simply pick up the phone.
