Spring Has Sprung Us a Doozy

American Revival: Faith, Hope & Charity

Many of our RCPB members attended Glenn Beck’s American Revival: Faith, Hope & Charity gathering today in Orlando, Florida. The gathering had three speakers – James Barton on Faith, David Buckner on Hope and Judge Napolitano on Charity. Glenn closed with a faith based Keynote… which started with the singing of Amazing Grace by a standing crowd.

Here are some of the notes I wrote:
Congress printed the FIRST American Bible and according to the comments in the Records of Congress, these Holy Scriptures are for use in our schools.
29 of the 55 Forefathers had seminary degrees.
John Adams wrote 33 volumns was was a faith based man – which was excluded in the HBO Documentary
Roger Sherman signed all 4 documents and started the American Bible Society. He stated there can be no civil law without Biblical Law.
Revisionism – moves us from following TRUE history.
He suggested we all read George Washington’s Farewell Address.
Suggested that history gets changed and must verify sources (footnotes) back to sources. An example is that George Washington was a honest man and faithful husband… to the contrary of teachings.
There are THREE classes of people: immoveable, moveable and those who MOVE.
In the last 16 years, we have LOST money, DOUBLED revenues and TRIPLED spending… while maintaining a AAA Credit Rating. There is a storm on the horizon.
In regards to healthcare, a lower price doesnr mean lower costs.
How do we increase patients with no new doctors. Making promises to people that we cant afford to keep.
We have to pay down the debt, cut spending and watch inflation.
With a single payer system, the market weakens.
Raising minimum wage is like building a fence… it’s counter productive. Suggested running an analysis on no minimum wage.
HOPE…
H – Home… how can you cut consumption at home?
O – Ownership … Take control of the process.
P – Prepare… There is a path out of darkness.
E – Engage… Educate yourself and get involved.

Ben Franklin lived the model of charity… and gave us inventions.
America is the most charitable country in the world. Charitys are rated by how much benefit goes to the cause. The Avg Charity is 60 – 70%. Govt programs have about 30% go to the people. If the govt gave the $$ to charity, we could DOUBLE the benefit to the poor.
I welcome the other attendees to add to this – we were charged with taking action. So I ask, will you join me today to save America?

A summary of an energizing luncheon and outstanding movie!

Yesterday was a very busy day for RCPB – with both the luncheon, plus the Right Nights showing of Tea Party, The Documentary.  Thanks to everyone who worked so hard to make both outstanding events!

Luncheon: 

We had a sellout crowd at the luncheon.  There were more than 10 walk-ins and the Bear Lakes staff had to scurry around to get more place settings set at the check-in tables.   Melissa Andrews (President) called the meeting to order, and Yvonne Inglis led us in the Invocation and Pledge.  Anita Mitchell, club 2nd VP, introduced our first speaker, Holly Benson – who is one of four candidates running for Florida Attorney General.  Holly cited her experience as the Former Secretary of the FL Agency for Health Care Administration as vital to supporting and following up on Attorney General Bill McCollum’s suit on behalf of Florida against the Health Care law.

Sid Dinerstein, the Palm Beach County GOP Chairman introduced his long-time friend and our main speaker, Aubie Baltin – Editor of “Uncommon Common Sense” an e-mail Economic, Political and Financial newsletter.  Aubie spoke about his views of the current banking system (it’s broke), advised buying gold, and told an interesting story from his youth with the resulting point: ‘don’t play the other guy’s game’.  That’s one we have to keep in mind as we fight the political battles ahead of us.  Melissa extended his time as we wanted to hear more.

After Aubie, candidates Sharon Merchant (Fl Senate, District 27), Pat Rooney and Nancy Cardone (both FL House 83) and Tami Donnally (FL House 85) had their few minutes to call for action.  Richard Bowman Carr spoke on behalf of Francisco Rodriguez – also running for FL House 83.

Right Nights:

Ken Barnett in Revolutionary attire ahold of his Gadsden flag, greeted people in the plaza outside of Muvico Parisian at City Place.  Attendees were directed downward by club VP John Jamason, and welcomed by Melissa Andrews – our club President.  Lots of other club members helped out at merchandise tables and holding signs to inform the public about the movie.  Melissa kicked off the meeting with the Invocation and Pledge lead by David Donnally.   Ed Lynch – Republican candidate for the April 13th CD19 Special Election spoke about the importance of the election and the short time remaining.  We all have to get involved to make it happen!

Time for the movie – and it was great!  As one of the several folks in the club who marched on Washington last September 12 – it brought everything back – the march was amazing!  The movie traced five normal people (read non-activist) who first got riled up with the bailout of the banks and TARP in 2008, then even more incensed by the Stimulus Bill in early 2009, and each ensuing outrage which turned them into activists.  The audience applauded in agreement several times throughout the movie.  It was extremely well done and lasted about 105 minutes.

After the movie, Melissa held a drawing for a free copy of the DVD and Sec’y/Treasurer Bette Anne Starkey sold additional copies.  If you weren’t able to join us – see the club for additional copies that may be available or find a friend who bought one.  You won’t be disappointed.  And if you’re feeling down after last weekend – the movie will get you energized to keep on fighting. 

If you’re not involved yet – stop complaining and STAND UP.  SILENCE IS CONSENT!

Klein, CD22, says he’s ‘comfortable’ with his vote for health care overhaul

In today’s Post on Politics, George Bennett quotes the indomitable Ron Klein:

“I really have a good sense of the district and a sense of benefits that this bill will provide to the district,” Klein said in an afternoon conference call with reporters.

“Ultimately I think it’s the right thing to do and people will judge you based on using your best judgment and I’m very comfortable that I’m using my best judgment in making this decision.”

When asked how he will explain the $500B cuts in Medicare to the 125K seniors in the district, our Congressman answered:

“These are not cuts in benefits. They’re cuts to their profit margin,” said Klein, citing Congressional Budget Office and General Accounting Office estimates that the savings can be achieved by curbing overpayments, waste, fraud and abuse.

To Ron of course, “Profit Margin” and “overpayments, fraud and abuse” are one and the same thing. This is our “champion of small business” talking.

Klein’s replacement after the November elections, Lt. Colonel Allen West, had this to say:

“That figure will mean a decrease in services to our seniors and also with this bill passing you’re going to see doctors refusing Medicare patients. Our seniors are going to be adversely affected.”

You go Ron! FAR AWAY. Please.

It's a Culture Crises, Not a HealthCare Crises

This Letter to the Editor, written by Doctor Jones about health care in America, is from the August 29th edition of Jackson, Mississippi’s newspaper, the Clarion Ledger.

Dear Sirs:

During my last night’s shift in the ER, I had the pleasure of evaluating a patient with a shiny new gold tooth, multiple elaborate tattoos, a very expensive brand of tennis shoes and a new cellular telephone equipped with her favorite R&B; tune for a ring tone.

Letter To Editor: Time To Unite

the following letter to the Editor was submitted to the Palm Beach Post on 3/19/10:

Dear Editor:

It breaks my heart to write these lines, but as an American who was born in Cuba and knows first hand the harm that could be done to any country by a “progressive, socialist, or communism” form of government, I consider it my duty to share with the readers my fear of what it could become of our beautiful nation if the present trend established by this administration continues.

It is scary to see how thousands of workers have lost their jobs, and a large number of Americans holding a college degree can’t find a place where to work. The economy is at its all times low…the education of our students is in jeopardy (no by lack of funds) but due to the need of bringing back the values, respect, discipline, proper curriculum, and truly professionals to the classrooms. At the time of this writing the Health Care Bill that the Majority leaders in Congress and Senate are trying to pass it anyway, (as it has reported) will cost us, the tax payers billions of dollars, a debt that even our grand-children will have to pay…also funds will be taken away from the seniors Medicare plan, etc. This is not the America that we know.

As I watch and read the news everyday I have a flash back of what happened to Cuba fifty one years ago and the people acted as if they were blind and deaf to what was coming their way.

A totalitarian form of government works just like a malignant cancer; that moves from inside out…destroying healthy cells in a way that when we find out (at times) it is too late, however…there are aggressive treatments for both. In the case of a nation it is for “WE THE PEOPLE” to do whatever it is in our power to control it like contacting our representatives and senators by sending faxes or e-mails, write letters (As I am doing now), calling their offices telling them our opinion, and above all, before the next election read about their platform and elect the ones that represent our philosophy and way of thinking.

The time has come for all of us to work together as a team and ask God Almighty to take care, protect, and bless our beautiful country, The United States of America, “The land of the free and The home of the brave.”

Thank you,

Mercedes M. Garcia
