Obama offers to let Governor’s propose alternative health care laws … click HERE to read article.

Obama’s going to “let” Governors propose  alternative health care laws.  How generous of him, allowing Governor’s to weigh in on something that belongs is their jurisdiction, not in the hands of the Feds.  Kremlin Care was passed against the will of the people, by an absurd constitutional maneuver called Reconciliation, when nothing else worked to get enough votes to pass the bill.  Once again Obama is sticking his nose where it doesn’t belong… in State’s Rights.  Have you heard of a thing called the 10th Amendment?  LEAVE US ALONE.  I wonder if any of my Liberal friends who think Obama is doing such a wonderful job, have ever even heard of the 10th Amendment.

The Tenth Amendment explicitly states the Constitution’s principle of federalism by providing that powers not granted to the federal government nor prohibited to the states by the Constitution are reserved to the states or the people.

White House political arm, Organizing for America, teamed up with Service Employees International Union (SEIU), for their latest astroturfing effort in Denver. Teamsters and other workers were bussed in to the State Capitol in an increasing effort by the White House to interfere in relations between states and public sector unions.

Somewhere, Franklin Delano Roosevelt is grinning past his cigarette holder at Wisconsin’s governor. They are on the same page regarding government unions.

Except that Scott Walker — Republican cheapskate, his visage Hitlerized on signs waved by beet-faced union crowds besieging the Capitol — is kind of a liberal squish compared to FDR. He’s OK with some collective bargaining.

Walker, you might have heard, wants some changes in how Wisconsin deals with unions. He wants state employees to pay 5.8% of their salaries toward their pensions (they pay almost nothing now) and he wants them to cover 12.6% of their health care premiums (their share would go up from $79 a month to about $200; the average private-sector sap pays about $330).

Congratulations, Grace, you are Tea Party Brewing’s Patriot of the Month for February.

Grace was a co-organizer of the ‘original’ Colorado Tea Party and is a co-founder of the Rocky Mountain Tea Party.

Grace was nominated by Nathanial Marshall, who said:

First of all, Grace is committed to Colorado’s conservative youth.  She paid for me to go to the Leadership Institute.  She bought me business cards.   She has put me on Brushfire TV.   She is ready to set up a few radio broadcasts for my organization, Students Organized for an American Revival (SOAR).   She has committed her contacts and resources to me and my fellow youth so that we will have the opportunity to grow in leadership and political activity.  Of all the Tea Party Patriots I know, Grace has been the most ready to help youth on any given day.
