Tea Party Movement to fight Obamacare

Democrats appear to be gambling that a perceived lull in Tea Party activism, combined with an eight-month window to the November midterm election, is going to buy them enough time to muster the simple majorities they need in the Senate and House to give President Obama at least partial victory in his push to remake the nation's health care system.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Monday that Obama will have a proposal on the table "in a matter of days."

"Time is up," she said in an interview Sunday.

But conservative activists, particularly the Tea Party groups, are gearing up for a fight to the last vote, even if political judgment day may seem far off.

Health care is right now our first priority because we know ... it's so close to passing, and if we look away for one second, it will.

The all-fronts push for health care reform by top Democrats in Washington is a sharp turnaround from late January, when President Obama declared in his State of the Union address that "jobs must be our number-one focus in 2010" while burying the section on health care. Obama was obviously intentionally playing down the issue to make the debate less toxic.

I think they created the lull on purpose. Just because it's not front-and-center in the news cycle does not mean it's gone away.

The third Tea Party Express tour -- a road show of anti-tax, anti-spending activists that rolled through Augusta during the fall at the request of TalkRadio1230 AM Augusta’s Tea Party station-- is set to start March 27 in Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's home turf of Nevada and wind its way toward Washington, holding rallies at dozens of stops along the way. More than 1,000 Tea Party rallies are planned nationwide for the April 15 tax day demonstration including the HUGE party we have planned that day at the Augusta Commons starting at 5PM. Both the tour and the tax day rallies are expected to focus heavily on health care reform but there are a wide variety of issues that the American public is unhappy about and this Tea Party will not only have great speakers but educational elements to help people become politically active and rally the troops to take back our government in November.

April 15 is "the next big thing" in the health care reform battle and the battle to stop the out of control spending that is crippling our economy and destroying jobs. Of course the Tea Party people here and groups all across the country will be watching the debate carefully, ready to jump in with carefully applied pressure to key lawmakers when needed.
