They are organizing by having an open conference call!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That should work out really well.

that this will only circulate amongst the "right" people. They seem to not know how Facebook works; any page that you "like" is automatically posted to all of your friends' news feeds. We used to be able to block that function, but can't with the latest FB "upgrades." That means that I've been blocking casual "friends" with a vengeance over the last few days, because I can't stand the bile.

The sum total will just probably end up being more looney email forwards flooding our inboxes.

but the calls from RW talking heads about "armed insurrection" are a bit troubling.

There are many idiots out there that might resort to violence if they feel threatened.

The RW echo chamber is a dangerous place.

everything. They are truly the American Terrorists.

As much as they want to repeal this law, that's just not going to happen. Even if R-Money were to win and the Pugs retain control of the House, we will still control the Senate. This goes nowhere.

and Rove run. It IS a PAC, and the people behind the tea party

It seems they aren't terribly bright or savvy about how social media works.

I've had several conversations with middle-of-the-road folks in the last couple of days who seem to feel that if the SC has blessed it, it can't be all bad, and they are willing to take another look at it.

The biggest problem I see is that local news covers this at such a shallow level that people really don't learn anything about it. My local station, in the deep blue Northeast, was interviewing a "small business owner" about how "scared" he was over the implementation, and the reporter, the anchor (who happens to be a friend of mine, and whom I will be calling this weekend to bop him over the head about this) and the business owner all missed the point that his business was far too small to be affected by the requirements anyway (only four employees). The ignorance is perpetuated once again.

Indy media.

The two experts might help you, though we covered major broad strokes and the other rumor, you will lose your insurance...RUN!!!!

Yes, it's meant at Cali, but might help you.

Well done and well worth spreading around, with your permission, of course.

It will be nearly impossible to repeal it. I think it takes 75 votes to repeal something that was voted into law with a super majority.

Nationwide conference call?



What is the sound of thousands of yahoos blah blathering, grasshopper?

piss people off even more, pick their pockets for donations, and request "loyalty pledges" for the clown with the magic underwear.

What would they do if half the people calling in were calling in to SUPPORT the ACA?

One speaker, everyone else listens. Oh and send money to PO Box blahbitty blah blah so we can fight the soshlism kthxbye.

I use them often to conduct group training programs and webinars. They control the messaging, etc., and certainly allow no opportunity for dissent.

as an opportunity to educate people on the merits of the bill. Don't answer their name-calling, but do provide evidence to the contrary.

I've been doing that and found surprising support.

some minor success, but this guy is bat-shit crazy. We're only "friends" because he was a former classmate who happened to be on a reunion committee with me. We have no contact otherwise, and that's fine with me.

his posts might be on the fence.

You never know.

I certainly understand your not wanting contact with him, though. He sounds like a real idiot.

companions are nine long-hair rabbits. He sleeps with them. The rest is uglier than that.

I hit the "X", and when it gave the list asking why, I checked off "Offensive", because they ARE offensive to me. And, they should be offensive to any decent person.

Personally, I am tempted to call in, and encourage other supporters to join in just to jam up their lines and fuck with them.

Rally your friends on July 4th and declare your independence!! Tell them how their Senators voted!



www.declareindependence2012.com is the site for FW to gather names.

to help other when I see this. It's like watching a 2 legged dog try to run down the road, yet it feels less sorry for itself than these idiots do.

"Somebody else getting healthcare means my freedom is gone! OMG what can I do if poor people get the same treatment everyone else does!? The world is ending!!111!"

Whether it's ACA, marriage equality, abortion or contraceptive rights, or equal pay, they've been conditioned to respond that someone else's rights or freedoms are somehow a violation and affront to their own. I'm convinced that the fundamental credos for these clowns are "as long as I've got mine, I don't give a fuck about you geting yours," then "IOKIYAR," and finally, "our way or the highway." They disgust me, every last one.

Is a mindset that is so ingrained in the staunchest supporters, that you couldn't shake it lose unless it was a Republican putting them to death for a frivolous reason. Even then, you'd have a 50/50 chance of them realizing they were supporting someone against their best interest.

Tell a Republican that Romneycare IS Obamacare? They still want to vote against Obama. 1. He's a Democrat, which in the mind of Republicans, makes him the evil liberal Rush Limbaugh and Fox News warns them about daily. 2. I don't think it is necessary to really say why he's an evil dictator that is coming to steal all of your white privilege and take revenge on you. I really don't.

...send money now!!"
