When Bart Stupak (D-Mich.) rode in on the proverbial “white horse,” conservatives across the country rose to attention and applauded his authenticity. Americans were astounded by this Democrat who had courage to stand against his own Party. It was truly fascinating. At first there was hope that despite being a Democrat — he would make the right decision, and vote “nay” on Obamacare. In the end — 34 Democrats made that decision, but Rep. Stupak thought he could fix it. He made a deal with President Barack Hussein Obama, the most pro-choice President in American history.

As the predictions said, Obamacare passed, and was signed by the President yesterday. Not only is this an epic, epic failure – this is a history-making failure.

First of all, let’s look at exactly what this deal was: Marjorie Dannenfelser, President of the Susan B Anthony List explained it in her appearance on America Live with Megan Kelly:

It gave me deep sorrow to watch. Congressman Stupak had all the legislative power in his hands to do exactly what he said he wanted to do, which is to undermine, frankly, the Senate position and the President’s position, and put his in legislative language.

Nancy Pelosi called the Tea Party movement “Astroturf.” People have slandered us, tackled us, and yet the Tea Party movement has stood its ground, and is stronger than ever. I for one, feel the Tea Party is here to stay.

But not only is it important that people show up at the Tea Parties today, it’s important that they continue to show up down the road, because the problems we’re fighting aren’t going away just yet. But how can we guarantee that people will continue to show up? Is the Tea Party movement going to diminish over time? Here’s what I’m doing to ensure that people keep showing up at the Tea Parties, get informed and continue to hold politicians responsible…

Is the Tea Party only for adults? NO. An effort has been launched to get not only the adults who are falling into debt involved, but the people who are going to have to pay for this insurmountably massive debt in the future: the kids. Yep, the kids. We are the ones picking up the tab for the spending happening today. Don’t believe me? Take a look at this. (more…)
