South Florida TEA Party calls for a walkout
The South Florida TEA Party is calling for the GOP reps to walk ou now on the health care debate.
The President campaigned on Transparency and yet was buttressed by the Democrats in Congress voting down the ideal to allow “We the People” to view Bills for 72 hours before they are voted upon. They too voted down the prospect of Congressional Budget Office scoring of legislation, before it is voted upon by members of Congress.
Because “We the People” have spoken on deaf ears in Washington, because when we arrived in D.C. to raise our voices, they adjourned and went home. We have had enough of playing by their rules, we prefer to honor the Constitution. This is why we ask our Republican members of the Senate Finance Committee to WALK OUT NOW!
Write your congressmen and tell them how you feel about this. The Progressives are going to ram through Obamacare socialized medicine and increase the debt load for our great grandchildren.

Do you know of OpenCongress.org ??
OpenCongress.org is a great website for watching bills and keeping track of politicians you want to watch. There are searches and blogs and comments and all kinds of great features.
Once you set up a profile you can click on the WATCH button for bills, congressmen, house rules, whatever. This gives you a central dashboard for watching the progress of bills and actions on bhills. This can help you figure when it is time to write your senator or representative about your stand on a bill, etc.
To keep track of all your watches you can link to an RSS feed and see your watches on your desktop. Here is my watch feed:

Valerie Jarrett’s Ethics Waiver?
from wikipedia article:
Valerie Bowman Jarrett (born November 14, 1956) is a Chicago lawyer, businesswoman, and civic leader. She is best known for her role as an advisor to President Barack Obama. Jarrett is a Senior Advisor and Assistant to the President for Public Engagement and Intergovernmental Affairs for the Obama administration. Prior to that she served as a co-chairperson of the Obama-Biden Transition Project.
This senior advisor to the president was responsible for the Grove Parc housing project. Needless to say, this was a government subsidized project that made big money for the people involved.
This same senior advisor just flew to Copenhagen with Michelle Obama, to be joined tomorrow by Barak, to lobby for Chicago to host the 2016 Olympics. Needless to say, the olympic venues will require a lot of space to build. This space will be provided by tearing down condemned properties, such as the government subsidized Grove Parc housing complex and other holdings of Valerie Jarret’s Habitat Company. By the way: the Grove Parc property is in the area represented by then Illinois Senator Barak Obama.
This same Senior Advisor to the President of the United States was on the short list for Barak Obama’s vacated Senate seat, before Blago went to jail. She chose instead to go with Obama to Washington DC.
Even though Barak Obama vowed to clean up corruption in Washington and vowed not to hire any lobbyist for any position in his administration, This same Valerie Jarret is on Judicial Watch’s “Ten Most Corrupt Politicians” list.
Sounds to me like “transparency in government” does not mean a whole lot to our beloved president. Maybe that is why he granted her an “ethics waiver.” I know that ethics is something that needs to be waived routinely in Chicago and Washington, so this is no big deal, right?
