Sowell: A crossroads election

ONENEWSNOW.com, 11/1/2010 by Thomas Sowell - "Most elections are about particular policies, particular scandals or particular personalities. But these issues don't mean as much this year-- not because they are not important, but because this election is a crossroads election, one that can decide what path this country will take for many years to come. ∴ Runaway "stimulus" spending, high unemployment and ObamaCare are all legitimate and important issues. It is just that freedom and survival are more important. ∴ For all its sweeping and scary provisions, ObamaCare is not nearly as important as the way it was passed.

AFP Action Alert! NoStimulus.com Challenge!

Note: Jeff Kropf, State Director of the Oregon Chapter of Americans for Prosperity, radio talk-show host and former state representative, addressed the Benton County Republican Central Committee tonight and spoke on the value of common sense, principles and character. The stimulus package lacks all three of these values. He asked that we all sign this petition and urge friends and family to do the same.

RE: www.NoStimulus.com

With the pork-packed stimulus bill poised for a vote in the U.S. Senate, your voice in stopping it is more important then ever. Please visit www.NoStimulus.com right away and sign the petition against this legislation. Already, more than 50,000 Americans have done so.

After you've signed the petition, please pass the message along to three of your friends! The stimulus bill is vulnerable to the kind of grassroots pressure AFP can provide. Use the NoStimulus website to send a message to Oregon's U.S. Senators that the bill is not right for our state.

Of the first 11,000 people to sign the NoStimulus petition, more than 10 percent were Oregonians. Join them!

The Democrat-controlled Congressional Budget Office said today that doing nothing will be better for the economy then passing this bill. Don't sit on the sidelines and let history run over you!!

Please visit www.NoStimulus.com right now, sign the petition and invite three friends to join you in taking a stand for economic freedom!
