Tea Party Blowout in Frisco, Texas for Labor Day Celebration
The Collin County Tea Party put together a great Labor Day celebration on Monday, 9-7-09, in Frisco, Texas (north of Dallas). It was held on the town square. GETREAL. tv interviewed nineteen people (yes, 19) to get their opinions of the state-of-affairs of the United States as it pertained to taxes, ObamaCare, and just the general march towards Socialism or Marxism, as proposed by Barack Obama.
The people in the crowd were there to listen to speakers and be heard if anyone was listening. GETREAL.tv listened and video taped these great Americans for all the world to hear and learn. They were unabashed with their opposition to Barack Obama and his far left plans for our great country. The greatness was in the fact that people were unafraid to express their deepest feelings and opinions in the clearest of terms. They did not mince words about their opposition to Barack Obama and their “why”, whether commenting about ObamaCare or taxes or socialism or Marxism, etc. They just let it all out. One lady who had immigrated from Cuba some forty years ago, likened what she is seeing from Barack Obama to Castro’s changes in Cuba and what the changes did to Cuba. She did not hold back. No one held back. Good for them and good for us. Continue reading »
Chet Edwards, Congressman of the 17th District of Texas, held his third and final face-to-face Town Hall meeting within his district. He held it in Cleburne, Texas before 700 – 800 people on Friday, 9-4-09. Congressman Edwards’ initial remarks began with his record of supporting the troops and the Veterans Administration. His support was appreciated and so evidenced by the round of applause from the entire crowd. But it went just so far, as he spent the associated political capital very quickly. Most in the crowd were absolutely against the proposed Health Insurance Reform Bill, also known as ObamaCare.
Congressman Edwards remained calm among the yells from the crowd in disapproval of his answers to questions concerning the Obama Health Insurance Reform Bill. Yet, he did not calm the crowd with his calm demeanor. Edwards was, as they say in Texas, wishy-washy. The constituents at the Town Hall meeting in Cleburne, Texas were obviously not getting clear answers that represented their opinions as a whole. He was non-committal, saying he was going to hold off on his decision to vote fore or against until he had heard from his constituents and had time to study the bill. This did not ”play” well with his constituents in this crowd since he has had plenty of time to read and study the bill. In fact, on this night he said that he had “spent hundreds of hours reading and studying the bill”, but only a week before he had told another crowd that he had not read it. Chet, which is it? If you have “read and studied the bill for hundreds of hours”, how could you not have an opinion for yourself. Do you like it or dislike it as represented by its original content? Continue reading »
On Monday, August 31, 2009, in Richardson, Texas four North Texas Congressmen met for a Town Hall meeting in front of 2000+ enthusiastic citizens, most of whom came to show their disgust for the proposed Government Run Health Care plan of the Democrats.
The four Congressmen included Sam Johnson, Joe Barton, Jeb Hensarling and Pete Sessions. With these four Congressmen on the same stage were four people from different walks of life and different companies, all with solution ideas for our Health Care problems. Each one had their own experiences, including a true “Co-op” medical group, up and running; a leader physician of a full scale multi-physician practice that delivers high quality care at a lower cost; the CEO of Baylor Health Care System; and, a County Judge using a free discount prescription card. Their ideas offered solutions for rising costs, quality of Health Care, Access to Health Care and issues related to insurability.
There was no doubt that all four Congressmen are against the Health Insurance Reform Bill as proposed or in any form that it may take. Joe Barton pointed out that the version that left the Energy & Commerce committee, of which he is the ranking minority member, is not 1000 to 1100 pages, but instead, it is 1,500 pages – and they are not done yet. Yes, 1,500 pages! Joe went on to point out that, in his opinion, within seven years, private health insurance will not exist, no matter what Barack Obama says.
Make no mistake, the purpose of Obamacare is to move us to full-scale Government Run Health Care.

Government Run Health Care – Obamacare – is not good enough for government employees. Why?
If you do not see a video above please click here to view “Government Run Health Care – Obamacare – is not good enough for government employees. Why?”
Guess what Americans. House Bill, H.R. 3200, has a provision exempting federal employees, state employees and tribal land employees from coverage under the plan. Why? If it good enough for the rest of us, why is it not good enough for these three groups of government employees!
If it is such a great bill why would the house deny these three groups from its coverage? Well, it is NOT such a great bill, with benefits that equal or surpass the plans of the aforementioned groups. These three government groups will stay on a great health insurance plan administered by insurance companies but paid by the the government with our tax dollars. Why should they get this special treatment? Congress is taking care of the new elite government class of people. Continue reading »
Congressman Joe Barton of the 6th District of Texas conducted an informative Town Hall Meeting on Wednesday, August 19, 2009 in Kennedale, Texas (south of Fort Worth), targeting the proposed Health Insurance Reform Bill. He arrived to a serious welcome, as the people in attendance wanted answers. For answers they had the right Congressman in front of them for it was clear that Joe believes that “the truth shall set you free”.
An emphasis needs to be put on the word “informative”, for this Town Hall Meeting rose to a higher level of “informative” details than any other in the USA. The reason is that Congressman Barton is the senior ranking Republican member on the House Energy & Commerce committee, which is handling a large portion of the Health Insurance Reform Bill. When Republicans had control of the House, Congressman Barton was Chairman of this same committee. It is a powerful committee and he knows it inside and out. Most importantly, the Congressman has a passion for its business and specifically why the Health Insurance Reform Bill should be defeated.
Joe Barton was very relaxed and affable . . he was in his element and in control. He did not mince words . . all the while remaining calm. He was extremely believable with his demeanor and details, which have a way of silently communicating, “come . . follow me . . we have some work to get done”.
[As a side note, Congressman Joe Barton took an opportunity put everyone more at ease by letting us know that he is a Registered Professional Engineer. Everyone felt better for the fact that he is not an attorney.]
The Congressman had an excellent large poster as a visual aide depicting the new Health Insurance Reform Bill in a flow chart format, showing all the new elements, how they connected and where the existing elements fit in. The crowd could see from the beginning that it had to be Anti-Citizen . . as there were many more new elements than existing ones.
The Congressman gave the crowd a status report of the Reform Bill in the House and the Senate and then picked key new elements in the reform bill on the poster, showing how each connected with others and how each or in combination with other elements would affect our health care and more importantly our health care decisions, if put into place. He knew his “stuff”. What Joe Barton described WAS NOT PRETTY . . socialized medicine by any name at the top of the bill.
The Congressman made it clear that he is against the Health Insurance Reform Bill, no matter what form it takes. As far as he is concerned, it can not be fixed. As he said, “we have to defeat this bill . . we will defeat this bill”. The Republicans sponsored over 35 amendments, with only 5 being passed by the committee.
Bottom line: Americans with their doctors will NOT have the control over their health care decisions they enjoy today . . not by a long shot. Barack Obama’s Health Insurance Reform Plan will take over in a way never believed possible in this country. Socialized medicine, in any form, has not worked to the satisfaction of the majority of citizens in countries where it is employed and it will not work to the satisfaction of Americans. The worst part from what the Congressman pointed out element by element, is that Barack Obama’s plan is much WORSE than that described in the media, even the conservative media. It is that bad.
Joe Barton recommended in answering a question that people write and speak with everyone they can to get them to influence their congressman to work against the plan. He even pointed out that Chet Edwards’ district is just south of Kennedale and that would be a great place to get started.

Obama Rescinds his Health Insurance Reform Bill Thought Police

Well, the American people have spoken and continue to speak unafraid of Barack Obama and his Health Insurance Reform Bill Thought Police.
Remember very recently when Barack Obama and his “handlers” had asked Americans to report to the White House any information “on the web about health insurance reform that seems fishy”? You know . . report to the “Thought Police” in the White House. The address was: [email protected].
Well, that email address has disappeared . . much more quietly than it had appeared. Yep, Barack Obama and his “handlers” have probably not liked the information they have received. Good. Americans spoke out and got the results they wanted. Barack Obama stop asking us to pass judgment on lawful dissent and report it to your “Thought Police”.
Kenny Marchant, US Representative of Texas District No. 24, held a Town Hall Meeting in Farmers Branch, Texas, a northern suburb of Dallas, at the request of the Metrocrest Republican Club. The focus was on the proposed Health Insurance Reform Bill, also known as “Obama-care”. Right from the beginning, the Congressman started fielding and answering questions from the crowd of more than 400 people, which was exactly what everyone had come to see and hear. The Congressman and the crowd got down to business.
Congressman Marchant was in his usual relaxed, tell-all, hold nothing back form - classic Kenny. You could tell that most of the people there were his supporters, but the questions got tougher as the night wore on. And, as with any good Town Hall Meeting, there were naysayers. Congressman Marchant is not just about form. He brought the substance, for which people came to hear, told in a way that was clear to everyone, whether they liked what they heard or not. The congressman does not and did not pull any punches about his being against the plan, the constitutional challenge of the plan, the lack of tort reform, government waste, government misdirection, corruption in the Republican Party, the future of the health care reform bill, what we have to do to defeat it, abortion, medicare, medicaid, AARP, euthanasia, insurance portability and on-and-on.
Along with everything else, Kenny focused on what should be the focal point of any reform bill. The focal point should be getting help to a specific 40 million people without disturbing the remaining 260 million Americans; and, within the 40 million there should be given priority to just 15 million to get started. 15 million, not 300 million! With the ”pooling” of this 15 million Americans, we could take care of them at a bargain cost to taxpayers compared to the $1+ Trillion predicted by the Congressional Budget Office for the present plan as written. What a deal.
Kenny remained steadfast in his understanding of the bill and what really needs to happen because he and his staff have studied the issue. Believe it or not, Kenny has read the entire bill - 1000+ pages! Has any other Congressman? Has Barack Obama read it?
On Wednesday, August 12, 2009, in Farmers Branch, Texas, we witnessed a part of democracy at its best. Citizens were exchanging ideas with their congressional representative, spicing it with laughter, clapping, hollering, booing, crying, and anger over congressional misdirections to the “left”, better known as socialism.
The proposed health plan is not popular in Congressman Marchant’s Texas Congressional District No. 24, to say the least. The best part is that Congressman Marchant is also against it and will vote against it, as it is written now or anything close. How is that for listening to his constituents? It’s not common these days to see a Congressman actually listen to the people who sent him or her to Washington. On August 12, 2009, Kenny Marchant showed his constituents the “right stuff”.

Obama Health Insurance National Police

Get real America! Now is the time to stand up to the beginning of true tyranny in our country . . . not another country . . . our United States.
Barack Obama’s thought police, his idea police, his citizen police is here from Washington. It did not take him long. He now wants Americans to spy on other Americans under the guise of finding and reporting information “on the web about health insurance reform that seems fishy”. Then, Barack Obama wants it reported to his house - the Whitehouse - via [email protected]. But wait a minute, is the Whitehouse not our house?
This is a canard of the highest order. This is right out of the playbooks of Adolph Hitler, Joseph Stalin, Benito Mussolini, Mao Tse-tung, and Hugo Chavez. He is gathering names of “unfriendlies”. First of all, how could any ideas or opinions be “fishy”, if no one, including Barack Obama, knows much about the proposed health insurance legislation as it stands today, much less last week or next week? Not one person anywhere on earth has read the 1000+ pages representing Barack Obama’s Marxist health insurance program. Has anyone? Please let us know. I dare say Barack Obama has not, even as he blows smoke about it with no details in front of one phony group of people after another . . and . . his darling media. Are the crowds full of actors or are they good local people who do not know any better than to clap on cue, because they do not know any more about the program than Barack Obama. It’s pathetic.
Americans, this is just the beginning of Barack Obama’s tyranny, starting with the snooping into every corner of our lives. It will get much worse if we do not stand up for our freedoms.
To start, let us send an appropriate message to [email protected], letting Barack Obama know that we will not be part of his tyranny and will fight it by every legal means of protest.
Next question: Will Barack Obama, Michelle Obama and their two children be on the health insurance plan being developed for the rest of us?
