This is from an email that Moveon  is sending out to their members.  (the highlighting is mine)

Have you read the stories this week declaring the public health insurance option dead? Well, it’s not.

The public option has the support of 83% of the American people,¹ (Take a look at this carefully.  It’s from JUNE 15th!!!  Only 43% now support it Click here for poll) and enough progressives in the House to block any bill without it.^2,3 And contrary to what you may have read, the White House has said repeatedly their position hasn’t changed.^4,5

But there is real danger in the Senate, where conservatives have stepped up efforts to kill the public option.

Can you call Senators Kay Hutchison and John Cornyn right away? Tell them that you, along with the majority of Americans, strongly support a public health insurance option—it’s the heart of real reform.

The Gathering Storm… A Must Read!!!

Friends,

Please note the excellent piece of art (The Gathering Storm) that is shown above.

When the storm finally hits (and it will), those of you who supported the Obama administration will be affected as well.
It won’t just be us gun owners or Flat Taxers, or Pro-Lifers that get hit. You’ll be right there next to us.

You see, you all thought the Conservatives were nut cases. You know, all of us who believe in God, small government, the Second Amendment, etc.
And you thought you could just go back to sleep after the election was over. In your world, America will continue as before.
You’ll still have the same rights, the same nice house, the same big screen television “ its all good.
After all, your high school football team won and the other team lost “go team!” Even if you have bothered to look up from the daily grind since Nov 4th, you dismissed everything that has occurred as politics as usual the same old stuff.

In the end, it’ll all be OK won’t it?

Not this time. There are a growing number of citizens in the US that are ready to fight to shut down the governments grab of personal freedom, its blatant abuse of the constitution, and its attempt to replace the American way of life with socialism. You have to listen carefully to hear them, but they are there. I won’t start that fight, but when it goes down, I will join it.

As for you, why you will be shocked because you did not see it coming? And eventually you will be saddened when you see that we have truly lost the way of life with which you grew up. You will be saddened that your children and grandchildren live in a socialist, government-controlled gulag where their every movement from cradle to grave is tracked by the government. But most of all, you wll be saddened by the death of friends and relatives who are brave enough to fight and die for something they believe in.

You know, McCain wasn’t much of a candidate. I’ll give you that. He was the lesser of two evils for most of us. I don’t blame you for not voting for him since, at the time, you didn’t know what we all know now. But at least John McCain was an American. He was a supporter of the American way of life, and he understood that you can’t negotiate with terrorists. He understood and appreciated the sacrifice made by my father and other members of the Greatest Generation.

Mark my words friends. All across America groups are forming. They are forming out of anger and out of desperation at the thought of losing America. They are not militia groups, terrorists as the Department of Homeland security would have you believe. They are Americans, loyal to the Constitution. They are mothers and fathers and grandparents. They belong to groups like the Minutemen Civil Defense Corps, the Peaceful Resistance, the Constitution Party, the Young Conservatives, the 9/12 Project, and Grassfire. Right now they are fragmented, each focused on their own cause. But sometime in the next two years, our government is going to do something really stupid and these groups will come together.

Watch for it, wait for it get ready. It will happen.

When that event happens, whatever it is, our great country is going to plunge into chaos for a while. I pray to God that we make it through that time and emerge a stronger, smarter country.
