no stimulus petition

NoStimulus

Don't Let the Trillion Dollar No-Stimulus Bill Pass the Senate!
Take a stand against the Pelosi-Reid-Obama big-government pork-barrel spending bill by signing our online petition TODAY!

Last week, the trillion dollar, unprecedented explosion in federal spending misleadingly called a "stimulus" package passed a vote in the House, but all the House Republicans and 11 House Democrats stood up to Nancy Pelosi and voted 'no' to bigger government, more debt, and more wasteful programs.

This bill is not inevitable!

The bill needs 60 votes to pass in the Senate. We have the public on our side, and with enough grassroots pressure we'll win!
What Does the So-Called Stimulus Package Mean For You?

It means you pay.

You pay for more bailouts, more giveaways, more wasteful spending...and your children and grandchildren pay for trillions of dollars of debt.

But you can fight back right now. By signing the petition, you can join the thousands of Americans who are saying NO!

NO to more taxpayer-funded bailouts and giveaways to special interests!

NO to using economic hardship as an excuse for Big Government power grabs!

NO to heaving trillions of dollars in new debt on the backs of our children and grandchildren!

NO to this stimulus scam!

Follow the links on the right to contact your elected officials, learn how you can tell your friends and family why this new scheme will hurt taxpayers, and invest in the movement that is fighting back!

Title:Barack Obama: This Is What Stimulus Is ! Description:President Barack Obama's soft-sell pitches to Republicans haven't gotten him very far on his economic stimulus plan, so he's resorting to a sharper tone that is at odds with his vow to make Washington less partisan.<br /><br />Stopping just short of a take-it-or-leave-it stand, Obama has mocked the notion that a stimulus bill shouldn't include huge spending. He's also defended earmarks as inevitable in such a package. And he's pointedly reminded Republicans about who won the November election.<br /><br />The heightened rhetoric reflects White House frustration that Obama's earlier efforts, which included high-profile visits to House and Senate Republicans last month, yielded not a single House GOP vote for the legislation. In the Senate, Obama and his allies were battling Friday for just a handful of Republican votes to avoid a bill-stopping filibuster.Title:Senator Corker Delivers Floor Speech on the Stimulus Package Description:2-6-09 - Senator Corker delivers senate floor remarks in opposition to the stimulus package.Title:Liberal Senator Dianne Feinstein Doubts Stimulus Will Create Jobs Description:On the senate floor US Senator Dianne Feinstein says she doubts the Generational Theft Act at the end of the day will create jobs.Title:Pork in Economic Stimulus - Democratic Allies of Obama say it is Wrong Package Description:Even Democratic allies agree that there is too much spending - even the liberal leaning media is indicating that this is not the right bill for passage. <br /><br />Read the bill that YOUR politicans have put together - it is time to come together and create a new future of America where poltics is no longer politics. <br /><br />Join us on our homepage or e-mail us at TheNewPoliticalParty@ymail.comTitle:Obama Lashes out, Scolds Republicans, Mocks Cable Chatter, and Bush over Stimulus Plan, Bill Description:What a cry baby. He's losing it; he's getting out of control. This speech was outrageous; who does he think he is? If he wants this bloated useless so called stimulus Bill, then all he has to do is have the Democrats pass it over the objections of the Republicans (the Democrats have enough votes) and then he can sign it, end of story. <br /><br />President Obama is in a real hard spot here because he so desperately wants the Republicans on board so that when this pig of a spending Bill fails to do what they have hyped it up to do, then they, the Republicans, can share the blame. <br /><br />I would advise the Republicans to stay as far away from this useless big government spending Bill as they can. I don't want one Republican voting for this Bill. The Democrats have been bragging about how smart they are, and how much better of a job they could have been doing on the economy, the wars, the war on terror etc., well this is their chance, this big fat pork filled spendulus government expanding Bill that masquerades as stimulus is theirs, and they are the ones who should be held responsible when it fails. <br />Jbranstetter04<br /><br /><br />In Stimulus Debate, Obama Drifts Into Campaign Mode<br /><br />President Obama is facing growing questions about his tone and the effectiveness of his leadership after he spent Thursday night mocking his political rivals and accusing them of playing games with the economic stimulus. <br />In an off-the-cuff moment during his speech to House Democrats at a retreat in Virginia, the president ribbed Republicans, including former rival John McCain, who call the recovery package a "spending bill." <br />"So then you get the argument, 'well, this is not a stimulus bill, this is a spending bill.' What do you think a stimulus is? That's the whole point," Obama said to laughter. <br />Conservatives are complaining that while Obama held a set of good-faith bipartisan meetings with congressional leaders in January, now he's reverted to campaign mode in a bid to muscle the more than $900 billion package through Congress. Obama said Friday it is "inexcusable and irresponsible" to delay passage of the recovery plan. <br />"He reduced himself from being president of all the American people to being the partisan leader of the left," former Republican House Speaker Newt Gingrich said of Obama's Thursday night speech. "The first month of your presidency is not a very good time to give a campaign speech." <br />Senate Democratic leaders are scrambling to pick off the bare minimum of votes needed to pull the contentious stimulus package across the finish line. Republicans and some Democrats are still concerned about the size of the more than $900 billion package and want to pare it down considerably, though Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid wants a vote by late Friday afternoon. <br />Obama, who cultivated the image of a post-partisan leader, has been hitting campaign themes in recent days, accusing Republicans in media interviews, an op-ed in The Washington Post and public speeches of reverting to the failed policies of tax cuts. He referenced his own political capital Thursday night and Friday. <br />"They did not choose more of the same in November," Obama said Friday. "They sent us here to make change." <br />He dismissed what he called "phony arguments and petty politics" Thursday. <br />"You can nit and you can pick and, you know, that's the game we all play here. We know how to play that game. What I'm saying is now we can't afford to play that game. We've got to pull together," Obama said. <br />But those who are negotiating a compromise measure do not consider their meetings a political ploy. <br />While Obama points to Friday's Labor Department report -- which shows more than a half-million jobs lost in January -- as another warning of the coming "catastrophe" if Congress does not act, many lawmakers think the long-term damage of a bloated spending bill is just as dangerous. <br />They say the bill, which some have taken to calling the "spendulus," still contains billions of dollars in wasteful spending. Though moderates are trying to pare it down to close to $800 billion, the joint tax committee just came out with a new price tag putting the current package at about $937 billion. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell continued to raise flags about the size of the bill Friday, saying, "We need to get it right." <br />http://www.foxnews.com/politics/first100days/2009/02/06/stimulus-debate-obama-drifts-campaign-mode/
