HERE'S MY PETITION I AM TAKING TO THE NEXT TOWNHALL:

[proud2BlibKansan]

Please I want feedback. If you like it, feel free to copy and paste it into a document and use it.

YES WE CAN SAY NO TO SOCIALIZED MEDICINE!

We the undersigned oppose President Obama's health care plans because we oppose socialized medicine.

By signing this petition I hereby reject all future and existing government funded health care programs, including Medicare, Medicaid and VA Health
Care.

I refuse to apply for Medicare when I am eligible.

If I am currently on Medicare, Medicaid or VA Health Care, my signature below is my pledge to stop receiving these benefits, effective immediately.

1. Great idea

Since, I can't attend my Congress critters townhall, I'm emailing this to family and friends. Hope they'll take it. Will also send it to a few who are opposed to health care reform. One recieves medicare and the other is uninsured - batshit stupids.

[proud2BlibKansan]

2. Yes let's see how many signature we can get

5. How to enjoy your town hall meeting

Before taking the petition to a town hall meeting, look at Proud2Blib's thread here:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x6253795

and learn how to handle the loonies that show up - with creativity, originality, intelligence, and a big dose of humor. After the meeting, please come and blog about it at DU like she did!

6. Hey you can help me circulate these petitions!

The UAW folks were telling me about a townhall Dennis Moore is having. I'll let you know when I get the exact details. And we will send it out to our DFA list as well.

8. I'm planning on going!

And I need to prepare some remarks in advance so they'll sound ... just ... right ... hehe .... :)

7. "And I pledge to use no public roads, highways, parks, water systems, police, firemen, or military"

"If my children attend a public school, I will pull them out and put them in a private one. If they are in a state university, tech school, community college, or city college, I will move them to a private institution.

If they receive student loans, I will no longer accept them.

If my parents or grandparents are in a state-supported nursing home or assisted living care, I will bring them home with me and I will take care of them.

If any family member is in a state-run mental facility, I will discharge them and bring them home and I will take care of them.

In the former two instances, I will refuse all Social Security or other government aid that my sick family member might have been receiving. I will refuse all state paid social workers who might have been working with them. I will refuse all state paid education/rehabilitation they might have been undergoing."

12. Since the Internet was a government creation, they can stop using that as well.

:rofl:

Teabaggers - the gift that keeps on giving.

[proud2BlibKansan]

14. I wrote this on a teabaggers email list she was circulating:

YOU ARE STANDING ON A SIDEWALK PAID FOR WITH TAX DOLLARS!! QUICK!! MOVE AWAY!!!

[barbtries]

9. perfect.

lol i can't wait for your report on the next meeting, and how many people actually sign that. hopefully it will get some of them to actually thinking about what exactly they're advocating.

[proud2BlibKansan]

15. I am teling my online wingnut friends the same thing

I have dared several to pledge to not apply for Medicare or SS and if they are current recipients, to refuse to take any more benefits.

One just replied to me that he had no choice and was forced to take both SS and Medicare. I just responded BALONEY.

Sheesh, these people lie as easily as they breathe.

[Lorien]

10. Yes, DO IT. And everyone else reading this DO THE SAME when there's

a townhall event in your area. August is the month folks. THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR JUST SITTING AT HOME AND POSTING ONLINE!

[JimWis]

11. Good idea. I wonder how many of these idiots will only read the

first paragraph and sign immediately.

17. Whew! I loved this idea when I read it earlier at the library

Driving to a friend's house, I decided to find it again, copy & have a petition ready. It took me a few minutes to find it and that time was well worth it. This is genius. Thanks.
