Make your voice heard: Counter-protest the Obamacare Road Show; St. Louis Oba-Kabuki event is closed-door, invitation-only

By Michelle Malkin  •  March 8, 2010 02:48 AM

This is it, Tea Party people. This is the week for your on-the-ground mobilization to help drive a final nail into the Obamacare coffin. The perpetual campaigner-in-chief will be in Philadelphia today and St. Louis on Wednesday to rally his troops/stage props on a taxpayer-funded road show.

He said “make your voice heard” last week.

Make sure he and the MSM hear yours.

As usual, only a select few will get inside the events. So raise your voices outside.

It’s short notice to organize, but here are details on the Philly visit this morning:

President Barack Obama will take his health insurance road show to the Delaware Valley Monday when he speaks at Arcadia University in Glenside, Pa. The event is free and open to the public but you must have a ticket to get in the door.

The tickets were all distributed on Saturday.

He’s scheduled to speak at 11:00am Eastern.

Arcadia University is located at 450 S. Easton Road, Glenside, PA 19038.

Here’s the website for the Philadelphia Tea Party Patriots. Friends tell me they will be gathering near the front entrance on Easton Rd.

Details on the St. Louis speech and fundraiser on Wednesday:

The White House announced Saturday that President Barack Obama has chosen St. Charles High School as the backdrop for his speech next Wednesday on health care. The afternoon address will be by invitation only, and not open to the general public, his staff said in a release…

…After the St. Charles speech, the president is to head to downtown St. Louis for a campaign fund-raising event Wednesday night to raise money for U.S. Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo., and the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee.

While in Hannibal for Democrat Days, McCaskill told reporters that she expects — and will urge — that much of the DSCC money raised Wednesday be used to help Missouri Secretary of State Robin Carnahan, the best-known Democrat running for the U.S. Senate.

Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon said Saturday that he expects to join Obama at some point during Wednesday’s visit.

St. Charles High School is located at 725 North Kingshighway Street, St Charles, MO 63301-1797. *Update: He is scheduled to speak at 3:50pm.*

More info:

Obama’s speech in St. Charles — his second trip to a suburban St. Louis high school within the last twelve months — is set to begin around 4 p.m. Unlike previous events here and around the country, the event is not being billed as a townhall forum — in other words, no questions please.

The event will be by “invitation only” — meaning the stands will likely be filled with guests of the school and local party officials.

Brace for rush hour highway closures as the president travels from St. Charles to downtown, where he will headline a 6 p.m. fundraiser for U.S. Sen. Claire McCaskill — a key ally on Capitol Hill — at the Renaissance Grand hotel.

Air Force One is schedule to leave the area later Wednesday night.

This is Obama’s third trip to St. Louis since his inauguration last year. In July, he threw out the first pitch at the All-Star Game at Busch Stadium. Earlier, he marked his 100th day in office with an event at Fox High School in Arnold.

The McCaskill/Obama fundraiser will be held at the Renaissance Grand Hotel. More info:

The NYTimes publishes its “handy road map” on Demcare. Be prepared:

THE ENDGAME This week, Mr. Obama will begin making what White House officials are calling the “closing arguments,” focusing on steep increases in insurance premiums and his insistence that a comprehensive overhaul is needed rather than the incremental approach Republicans are demanding. Mr. Obama’s final push will include visits to Philadelphia on Monday and St. Louis on Wednesday.

Senate Democrats, meanwhile, are preparing for a procedural fight with Republicans over the reconciliation measure. The rules require provisions to focus on meeting budget targets, and policy changes with only an “incidental” fiscal impact will be struck out.

(This is why Democrats cannot make changes to the abortion provisions, and may need a third bill to resolve that issue.)

Democrats will go to the floor with a package they believe can pass muster with the Senate parliamentarian, aiming to complete it by March 26. Surprises are possible, and while debate on a reconciliation bill is limited to 20 hours, Republicans can offer unlimited amendments, which will mean politically charged votes intended to inflict damage ahead of the midterm elections.

Senate Democrats control 59 votes, so passage of the reconciliation measure is expected — especially with Senator Robert C. Byrd, Democrat of West Virginia, a legendary protector of Senate rules, supporting the process.Even a 50-50 tie would pass it, because Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. is the tie breaker.

Still, some House Democrats want assurances — perhaps a letter signed by 50 senators — but they may have to rely on Mr. Obama’s word.

Democratic leaders want lawmakers to make a simple calculation: vote yes and chalk up an accomplishment, or vote no and be painted as a failure. “You have got the pain, now get the gain,” is one new mantra.

How about some operating mantras for conservative activists:

Change the optics.

Kill the momentum. Kill the bill.

Don’t wait for promises of repeal. Stop the Demcare juggernaut now.

    Its times like these that I wish had a Senator worth writing to. With Webb and Warner it seems to be a lost cause. Webb at one time seemed to be a bit conservative, but that is all in the past. Warner is lock step pro-Obama anything. I still believe half the people that voted for Warner thought they were voting for the retiring Republican Warner.
    For Reps I am stuck with Connolly. He will vote however Queen Nancy tells him to. The man hasn’t had an original thought of his own.
    Still, I am after them. They know the score, they will pay the penalty.

    They can’t just be in the game, hard against Obamacare. We have to also have good reason to believe they won’t ‘reach across the aisle’ later.

    No one with a triple digit IQ thinks Reach McCain won’t seek a ‘compromise’ in 2011 ‘to get things done’ like ‘the American people want’ with regard to ‘health care reform.’

    And, as usual with McCain, that reach of his will amount to giving the Democrats exactly what they want. We can count on it.

    He must be stopped. Now.

    Michelle,

    “Arcadia University” is a recent name change for the University.

    For many graduates for a very long time the College was and is known as “Beaver College.”

    It is right up against the route 309 Expressway and Easton Road, with part of the University near the intersection of Limekiln Pike and Church Road.

    Although some call the location “Glenside, PA” it is actually at the point at which Cheltenham begins.

    In fact that small little segment is right at what is known as “Wyncote, PA.”

    The place looks like a Castle, literally.

    I hope this helps people find their way there.

    Of course, I don’t know where people are going to park and walk to protest, unless they park east of Beaver College – Arcadia University at the Cedarbrook Mall Shopping Center at Easton Road and Cheltenham Avenue around 1/4 to 1/2 mile away and walk north on Easton Road from there.

    Obama had the audacity to claim that he wants to give people this Health Care legislation as if everyone wants it, when we don’t. Why can’t he just go into Nirvikalpa Samadi and stay there so he does not do any more damage till his term is over and a real president is elected to the office, a person who really does care about our nation and her citizens, and who will ensure or defense, economic prosperity, defend the Constitution, Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness, and the greatness of US culture?

    This is outstanding! These geniuses have decided the solution to Dear Leader’s overexposure is more exposure and less accomplishment. Also they figure the only possible reason Americans oppose this giant BarryCare turd three to one is that we are too stupid to understand it – so Barry will insult everyone’s intelligence once again with counter intuitive lies, made factual by the mere application of his awesomely awesome oratory presents. Bring it, O egotistical one!

    If you are in these locations PLEASE heed MM’s call to get out there if at all possible. It is making a difference. Remember Nathan Deal, the Georgia Rep who was going to resign this week to run for Governor? Thousands of us in GA melted down his phones and email telling him if he abandons his post now, he can forget about the Governor’s mansion. He changed his mind and will stay for the Barrycare vote. Congresscritters are finally listening. Step up the pressure!

    Obama has become the cliche for shuck and jive acts everywhere.

    BUT — Not sure I can listen to another Obama teleprompter seance reading … It’s become downright stupid watching him read his standard lies.

    If anyone believes it can be repealed, I’d ask that you look at the Jimmy Carter abominations of the Departments of Energy and Education. Neither one has ever come close to their stated purpose yet they are both alive and well devouring tax dollars over 30 years later.

    But as soon as he turns off the teleprompter, he’s back on the road trying to convince us dumb folks that his health insurance take over is what we really need.

    Well, I’m sick of him yapping about it and sick of him shutting down our airspace every time he’s burning millions of our tax dollars flying around in the 747 we paid for to spout more of his extremist agenda.

    Who doesn’t detest this sham of a man?

    I can’t go to Philly but I can harrass my congressman, who btw was supposed to be a moderate when he first ran. Reality is he voted liberal 99% of the time. Hope he enjoys retirement after the 2010 election.

    Kill off enough of the population with the non-Healthcare bill and then there will be enough jobs to go around. Only problem is, there won’t be enough tax dollars come in to support the government expansion. Then we’ll look like Haiti, or some place like it.

    I believe in the Constitution of the United States of America. I have fought for it, and will continue to defend it.
    Why?
    It is the single most important document written by men expressing their views and their expression of Freedom. The authors and signers of these documents saw firsthand oppression, tyranny, corruption of power, elitist manipulation of laws, and suppression of individuals. They put their lives on the line to support these views, not the lives of other citizens but their own lives and livelihood. They did not send the children of others to fight their war, but stood in the front ranks along with their fellow citizens, this was their conviction.
    I will not stand in defiance of progress, but when the elitist raise their ugly agenda and attempt to ram it down the throats of protesting citizens, it is time to call a halt to their campaign, and I for one will stand before them in protest and force of arms if necessary. As in the conflicts surrounding the founding of this nation, the citizens will rise to defend their rights of freedom. No tyrant, or tyrannical ideology will long stand before them.
    It is time for a recall vote in those states in which it is allowed.

    Woah. I had heard about that atrocity, but didn’t realize that it went on until the 1970s!

    Do we really want to entrust our healthcare to the creeps who knowingly infected black men with syphilis then withheld treatment just to study the progression of the disease.

    The saddest part is that this verified historical event will probably be dismissed as the paranoid ramblings of the “lunatic right-wing fringe.”

    You know what they say, “Put an infinite number of monkeys at an infinite number of keyboards and eventually you’ll get the the entire works of Shakespeare.”

    Or, for you Redneck joke fans, “Let an infinite number of rednecks shoot an infinite number of shotguns at an infinite number of STOP signs and eventually you’ll get the entire works of Shakespeare, in Braille!”

    When pressed by Chris Wallace if he trusted the Senate to pass the reconciliation bill, Rep Altmire said, “The Senate has given us a lot of reason not to trust them.

    This is what the Germans call “Der Schwerpunkt”, the Critical Point. This is where the seeds of doubt need to be sewed. The “reconciliation” process is all based on the ‘promise” that the Senate will “change the biill” for the House after the House passes the Senate version.

    If you want an iron clad guarantee that the changes you want will get through the Senate, it’s not there folks; not be a long shot.

    All of my state’s reps are Democrats save one. The Democrats will lemming over the cliff for Obama.

    Rahm is at war with the more extreme Marxists in the Demonratic party, Massa opposed hell care because it isn’t Marxist enough.

    But Axelrod and Jarrett have been the subject of Rahmno leaks to the WaPo, where Rahm claims to be the only rational adult in the White House.

    Dissension and low morale in the ranks of Team Obammunist is good for America.

    More and more of open government, a by invitation only is the is a sure fired way to get a cheering audience. I wrote to my congressman, I’ll see if it was worth it soon. We have the “three stooges” in the house and “dumb and dumber” in the senate, so in the long run it is usually not worth the trouble of writing to them.

    What we are witnessing in DC is the downside of a one-party government consisting of self-serving weasels trying to remain united against voters while held together only with the glue of self-interests that MUST remain secret.

    There is no honor among thieves which is why big conspiracies always fail. There is no such thing as “semper fidelis” in Washington.

    Given the immutably, fiduciarilly, actuarilly, morally and intellectually bankrupt essence of the three biggest federal entitlement programs over the last 75 years (ie, Socialist Insecurity, Medicare, and Medicaid), it is beyond dumbfounding that that anyone — anyone — can believe for a second that the Feds will “get it right this time”.

    No one with a triple digit IQ thinks Reach McCain won’t seek a ‘compromise’ in 2011 ‘to get things done’ like ‘the American people want’ with regard to ‘health care reform.’

    And, as usual with McCain, that reach of his will amount to giving the Democrats exactly what they want. We can count on it.

    He must be stopped. Now.

    Just like those terrible conservatives who refused to vote for the dirtbag, I guess.

    I didn’t vote for McCain. I voted against Obama.

    The wasted third party votes for someone who had no chance of winnning didn’t cause the screwing of America this time, but they gave us Bill Clinton in 1992, which set some of the seeds for the Marxist enemy of America now in the White House.

    Not that McCain shouldn’t retire, or lose toJD.

    Obamacare is the equivlent of sending 1,000 bombers over Berlin at night and then carpet bombing the whole city in hopes of destroying a couple factories.

    We should be building legislation that is “precision-guided” tageting those Americans and legal immigrants who are truly in need and assisting them without blowing up everything around them.

    Like the alternative to carpet bombing, less reources and much more effective in its implementation.

    Just a note here about the gov study of syphilis from 1932-1972. The black males were not infected by the gov, they already were infected and were in late stages of the disease. The Public Health Service refrained from treating 399 infected men to determine whether blacks react differently than whites to the disease. These men should have been told the truth and treated for their infections.

    Rambler. Same story with the Polio and numerous other medical advances. Unless and until a scientific study “proves” at the .05 level of confidence that the treatment of the two groups is significantly different, the null hypothesis can not be rejected. To do otherwise opens up tort and guesses.

    Glad to continue with you on this subject. Perception, unfortunately, for certain people is their reality, but not The Truth.

    My point was not to discuss the difference between 2 groups in a scientific study, it was to say that the individuals it that study were not infected by the gov. Discussing scientific studies, especially those done by doctors opens up a can of worms.
    I’ve done scientific studies with scientists and with doctors and prefer the scientists. The doctors don’t always account for all their variables which produce questionable results.

    Agreed about their objective.

    I wrote my congressman and asked him this question: “Given the provisions of this bill I will not outlive my parents. The life expectancy of this country will drop. How many lives are gaining political power worth? What is the acceptable casualty rate over the next 30 years? I’d like to know what your threshold of death is. You will never suffer, because the political elites have their own plan.”

    Also, liked your site and especially your observations of David Brooks.

    Democracy in our republic isn’t about closed meetings with sycophant audiences to sell a lie.

    It’s a shame that we don’t currently have anyone in leadership that can stand up to this anti-Constitution administration. Apparently, there isn’t a law against breaking the Constitution. It’s all based on a vow of honor, I suppose, and this bunch has no honor.

    Our founding fathers must have presumed we’d be smart enough not to elect the dishonorable. Otherwise, they would have outlined how to deal with people like Obama and his band of communists that have taken over our country.
