“Don’t interfere with anything in the Constitution. That must be maintained, for it is the only safeguard of our liberties.” --Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865), the first Republican president (1861-1865). Lincoln ended slavery in the U.S., and the Republican Party has advanced Civil Rights for 150 years!

Benton Co. Republicans have authorized a new activist group, “Protect the Republic.”
This group will cooperate with other patriots who are concerned about issues and policies that pose a threat to our Constitution and our freedoms. If you’d like to learn more about “Protect the Republic” just reply to this e-mail and we’ll send you more information.
What Can I Say at Rep. DeFazio’s Town Hall Meeting?
Pres. Obama and Congressional Democrats promised fiscal responsibility. What are they giving us? A massive experiment with our economy that costs trillions of dollars and will leave our children with mountains of debt!! We don’t want Health Care to add to this staggering burden!
Urge Rep. DeFazio to honor his campaign promises for fiscal responsibility. Ask him to oppose the Obama health care experiment because it is too much, too soon. Ask him to support common sense reform that fiscally responsible, reduced cost, preserves the rights of patients to choose their own doctors and that eases the financial burden on small businesses and American families.
This trillion-dollar government run health care plan is simply WRONG for America. We need health care reform—costs are too high, families are struggling to afford quality health care. But the Democrat’s plan would raise taxes and lead to higher costs and rationed care.
What are the side effects of Obama and the Congressional Democrats’ health care scheme, as stated in HR 3200, one of four health plans before the House of Representatives? HIGHER health care costs (according to the Congressional Budget Office); ENORMOUS tax increases on families and small businesses; ABOUT 88 MILLION AMERICANS will lose their private health care coverage.
America cannot afford the risks that ObamaCare offers us!!
Oregon’s Congressmen Run from Town Hall Scheduling
Angry Town Hall meetings are scaring off our elected Congressmen. Only Peter DeFazio is scheduling Town Hall meetings to answer Health Care concerns. DeFazio has not said whether he will support legislation currently being touted by Democrats.
Congressman Kurt Shrader, D-5th District, has refused to consider scheduling any August meetings for the Willamette Valley.
U.S. Senators from Oregon Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley have made no attempt to be available to the public to hear what we want in health care reform.
WE WILL REMEMBER HOW WE ARE BEING TREATED BY OUR Washington Congressmen!!
Obama Pays “Grassroots Activists” to Attend Town Hall Meetings
Dems are pulling out all the stops to try to stack attendance at Town Hall meetings across the nation.
Trying to cut down on attendance, House speaker Nancy Pelosi called those who attend “un-American.” Sorry, Nancy, you’re wrong again! We’re Americans, defending our right to freedom of choice!
Left-wing media pundits accused Americans for Prosperity and others for inciting “mob violence.” Ignoring the Left’s frantic actions to stop us, Americans are turning out in record numbers to their congressmen’s Town Hall meetings to question the wisdom of the Left’s health care plans. “This has put the Left on the defensive and in a counter-attack mode,” said Ernest Istook of the Heritage Foundation. Obama chief of staff Jim Messina vowed to “punch back twice as hard.” All this because Americans are speaking out about the terrible government excesses in spending and curtailing Constitutional freedoms. PATRIOTS, BE AT YOUR TOWN HALL MEETING. SPEAK UP!
Oregon Gives Glaring Example of Government-run Health Care
Barbara Wagner, 64 years old, receive government-run health care through the Oregon Health Plan. She had terminal cancer and her doctor prescribed Tarceva, which he believed could save her life.
The doctor’s request was denied. “We were unable to approved [this treatment],” said the reply. “Treatment for advanced cancer that is meant to prolong life, or change the course of this desease, is not a covered benefit of the Oregon Health Plan.” According to KVAL, the letter said, “the plan would pay for comfort care, including ‘physician aid in dying,’ better known as assisted suicide.”
Backed into a corner when questioned about the state’s motives, “ Dr. Son Saha admitted, “If we invest thousands and thousands of dollars in one person’s care over days to weeks, we are taking away those dollars from someone [else.]” EXPECT THE SAME FROM OBAMA CARE.
FANTASY AND FACT
Michael Steele compares Pres. Obama’s rhetoric to the truth about the Democrat’s health care plan. Go to our website at http://bentongopnews.blogspot.com/ and read Pres. Obama’s rhetoric vs. FACT, straight from the Republican National Committee!
SEIU Is HUGE Donor to Obama
Columnist Michelle Malkin said that Service Employees International Union (S.E.I.U.) contributed $61 million toward Barack Obama’s election. In turn S.E.I.U. has been richly rewarded, “paid off with cabinet appointments, executive orders, key personnel slots, and legislative goodies,” says Malkin.
Obama Deal with Big Pharmacy
This story was uncovered by Glenn Beck: “Barack Obama is fighting for YOU! He's tired of the politics of old, the lobbyists of the past, and big corporations running industries. That's what his campaign was all about -- putting an end to George W. Bush and all of his chronies. Which naturally explains this story: Obama makes deal with Big Pharma
Glenn Beck boycotted
And speaking of Glenn, did you know that a racially charged activist group is calling for a boycott of Beck’s TV advertisers? They’ve already gotten five sponsors to pull their ads from his cable program: SC Johnson, Progressive Insurance, Geico, Proctor and Gamble, and Nexus Lexis.
Hey, how about boycotting these companies? There are lots of alternatives, and Progressive Insurance (just as the name implies) is run by a full-fledged left-wing supporter. Support Glenn. He’s doing so much to bring corrupt government into the light of day.
