DON’T GO, KEEP THE LIGHTS ON!!!!

PERSONAL OPINION-
Did you know that the House is still in session?
IF THE LIBERALS THINK we need their Pravda Media Machine (PMM) they ar soon to discover just how bad off they are, we will get this information out NOW!! We will go around the Pravda Media Machines: men like Eric Cantor and John Culberson are leading a revolution that has DEEP roots.
GET INVOLVED at the Information Network by emailing uoadaria@yahoo.com if you are ready to go on the offensive and tackle the DEMS in their “domain”: in the blogosphere, in BTR, in the Pravda Meda Machine, and in their own party!!!!
IT IS ROCK AND ROLL TIME folks, you may not see this yet, but I promise you, we are on the cusp of a radically awesome, peaceful, but total revolution on par with 1776.
ARE YOU READY!!!!????
GOD BLESS the MEN AND WOMEN who are keeping the LIGHTS ON, who are answering the cry of the people they serve, who have answered the cry “DON’T GO INTO THE NIGHT!”
TODAY”S HERO: LATEST is AWESOME!! Rep. John Mica (R-FL):
“I came back to Washington because I am a part of this system-my constituents said, “you need to stop what you are doing and even with this tropical storm, you need to go back and have our voice be heard.”
An independent group of web 2.0 minded eActivists have decided that the free-market side of the political realm was lacking in investigative resources looking to pry into the lives of Presidential candidates. The new site, Talk Straight, aims to provide a collection of fact sheets and investigative pieces into the politics of the 2008 Presidential election.
Talk Straight, unlike most other investigative websites (which are mostly funded by the left), is looking to expose Barack Obama and his ties to far left money and corruption. The site will also work to reveal the shallow lines in Obama’s policy and promises. The founders plan to follow the dollars, expose Obama’s character, reveal his lies, tackle his policies, and debunk some rumors.
Indeed, the opposition is not only well funded… it’s actually owned and paid for by the Obama campaign. Meet Fight the Smears, an Obama campaign website looking to spin the message and fight back against sites and organizations who work to expose Barack Obama for who he really is.
The part I find most interested about Talk Straight vs. Fight the Smears is that one is a total grassroots effort and the other is a campaign controlled effort. In times where media, politicos, strategists, and virtually everyone else claims the left is controlling the online realm, it’s ironic that a group of center-right, online activists have single handedly launched an independent site that has the potential to counter Obama’s “Fight the Smears”.
The #dontgo Movement also recently proved to the world that center-right activists do indeed understand internet activism. The #dontgo Movement, of which I am proudly a part of, used Twitter and other social media tools to help dominate the energy message and organize a complete online movement.
Now Talk Straight goes live, proving that center-right activists can not only compete, but can be active from the bottom up, not like Obama’s top down method.
Three ways People can get plugged in:
1. Donate. We’re fronting the cost for all of this. Any help would be much appreciated.
2. Sign up for our Action Alert Newsletter. We’re not going to send you our blogs - this is a real action/task driven newsletter
3. Click our sponsor’s on our site and maybe buy a sticker or something. Everything is on sale and it helps us keep our sponsors.
Ali Akbar, the site founder and publisher, is proving to be one of the web’s top activists. Ali A. Akbar is a young Online Republican activist working to bring web 2.0 and interactivity to campaigns and right-leaning causes. He’s a previous BlogTalkRadio show host of RightTalkRadio. He also has a number of affiliations with today’s online Conservative movement sites.
Center-right campaigns and organizations need to pay very close attention to this rising star. If Akbar can continue publishing state-of-the-art political efforts such as Talk Straight, I believe he’ll be one of the true leaders in online activism moving forward.
If you haven’t done so yet, do yourself a favor and go check out Talk Straight.

After days of the Guerrilla Congress, the mainstream media is finally catching on to the goings on. All with the help of MoveOn.org.
On Friday August 1, 2008, at 11:23 a.m., your Democrat majority in the House of Representatives adjourned the House for five full weeks.
House Republicans believe that Congress should not go on vacation until we take action to lower gas and energy prices for struggling American families.
For the last two months we and our House Republican colleagues have used every tool at our disposal to try and get you and your Democrat majority to vote on legislation to lower gas and energy prices by expanding environmentally sound domestic production of oil and natural gas, improving energy efficiency, and encouraging the development of alternative energy technologies.
Many of the proposals we have asked you and your Democrat majority to allow us to vote on are bipartisan proposals that we believe would enjoy the support of a majority of the Members of the Congress. Yet because you and your Democrat Leadership personally oppose these proposals, you are not allowing them to come up for a vote. This past Sunday, you even told George Stephanopoulos that you will never allow this vote to occur ….
In protest of you and your Democrat majority not allowing an up or down vote on producing more American energy, we and our House Republican colleagues were prepared to take to the floor on Friday, August 1, 2008, and speak to the nation. Rather than allowing that to happen you and your Democrat majority adjourned the House, turned off the television cameras, shut off the microphones and turned out the lights. Nearly 50 House Republicans remained on the floor of the House in defiance speaking to those citizens gathered in the galleries and to the media.
Today we have again returned to the Capitol to continue speaking to the thousands of Americans from all across our country who are visiting the Capitol. We would have preferred if instead we were joined by our colleagues to have a true debate on this issue that ended in an up or down vote.
We think it is unconscionable that Congress has gone on vacation before we have addressed the high gas prices that are crippling our economy and hurting millions of families. We are asking that you reconvene the House from your five-week vacation and schedule a vote on legislation to increase American energy production. Let us be clear, we are not asking for a guaranteed outcome, just the chance to vote.
Signed by: John Boehner, Republican Leader; Roy Blunt, Republican Whip; Adam Putnam, Republican Conference Chairman; Eric Cantor, Chief Deputy Whip; and Members of the House Republican Conference

I’m not old by anyone’s standard. Reagan was elected to his second term the year I was born and September 11 occurred my senior year of high school. Most of my childhood memories are during the early nineties when times were good. The economy was booming, technology was becoming more and more a part of our daily lives, and roadtrips were frequent for many families thanks to cheap gas.
America needs to come to its senses and start on the path that will bring it victory, not defeat - prosperity, not depression. #dontgo means exactly what it says, Don’t Go. Read the rest of this entry »
