Obama and the neo-socialist left really messed up this week. In a major breach of trust they floated a idea of making Veterans pay for their continuing health care for service connected disabilities. If there was one group the left needed to keep on their side its the military. The military support groups were on the left's butt in a big way.
First of all it's the employers responsibility to take care of work related injuries. Mine and your personal insurance never covers these types of injuries. After the member retires or is discharged from the service these injuries are called pre-existing condition and again its not covered. That means the service member will be required to pay for it. Thanks for your service dude. Sorry for your injuries, here's your bill. So much for a enlistment contract.
If insurance carriers are required to provide coverage this will lead to major price increases to cover their expanded cost. Battlefield injuries are devastating to the member and expensive to treat. Many insurers may just fold and get out of the business due to these cost. That of course means the taxpayer will again have to pick up the slack while we are losing our own choices for health care coverage due to this government interference.
Young men and women thinking about serving will think again about the cost. If the government can bail out on their responsibilities now, what will they fail you on out in the future. You just won't be able to trust them. Members who are serving now will leave while the getting out is good and they are still healthy. It just won't be worth the risk.
This, of course, is a strategy of the left to weaken the military. If they all leave they can form their civilian corps without interference or worry the military might not back their power play when the public revolts. Only their faithful will serve as the brown shirts to keep the public in line.
Thankfully a few courageous officers and enlisted folks are challenging Obama right to be president in court. As more military folks see this the voice of opposition in the military will grow louder. I foresee a major effort by the left to block the military vote to try and offset their outrage. Good luck with that.
We are heading for a major confrontation and the left is running as fast as they can to prepare for it. Are you ready? Where will you stand? As for me and my house we stand for the Constitution, God, Liberty, and our Country!

This parties getting interesting.
I think this Tea Party idea has taken hold. Parties are springing up all over like prairie wild flower blooms in the spring. Most major cities are having one on the 15th of April. Nothing like a tax protest on national tax day. I'm going to host one as well.
I'm going to be in Austin Texas at the capitol steps on the 15th under my banner of 'One Angry Taxpayer'. This is not and will not have anything to with the Constitution Party. My local county party can't provide support for political reasons. I can't provide a better reason as I don't have one.
I ask you to be a 'One Angry Taxpayer' as well and join me in Austin, or be one on your capitol building as well. This protest needs to be at your capitol building if you can make it. We need to do this at the capitol for several reasons.
1. Time is short. Our 'leaders' in congress are moving at warp speed in Washington DC to implement the socialist takeover of America. They are not listening to us in small voices.
2. The dilution effect. Many small parties all over the state in towns and cities are easy to ignore. Time is short and we need a large visible party to be seen in the national news. Lets get as many folks as possible together in one spot.
3. Its where our state politicians are. Most legislatures are in session now and for them April 15th is a work day. Lets show up where they work. They need to see we are angry, not hear about it from some staffer at the home office, which may not be in your town.
With the exception of Texas, Alaska, and maybe California most folks can get to their capitol in an easy half a days travel. With our Governor and state reps there, I want them to see me and I want to see them. I will be gathering signatures on two petitions. One will be for the legislature to enforce the 10th amendment on states sovereignty. The other will be calling on the governor to reign in our state delegation in Washington DC.. Any one who votes for a bill they haven't read, like the latest 'stimulus' bill doesn't represent anyone.
I hope to see you there or on the news.

Tea Parties, more planning needed
The problem I have with these tea parties was the lack of planning and notice. I found out about ours in Houston the day before. This resulted in poor attendance and very little press coverage. We need to organize this on a national level, WELL PUBLICIZED in advance.
Here is my suggestion. First, everyone needs to submit a new W-4 with the maximum allowances. Every tax day you should owe money. That which you give in excess may not be given back and you can bet it will not be applied to next years taxes.
Second, On April 15th take the day off and join a protest at your capital building. I plan to burn a copy of my W-4 on the capitol steps. If your from Texas I hope to see your there.
Third, July 4th, lets all meet on the mall in Washington DC. Bring another copy of your W-4 and we will have a Texas sized bonfire on the mall!
NO POLITICIANS ALLOWED. They can watch from the capitol building. I will not be interested in hearing their voices on that day. They will only hear OURS!
