Thank you, Sir Robert.  Yes, I will read the petition closely.  I am a huge proponent of public spending on infrastructure. 

Basically, all presidents since FDR have been advocates of this and have recognized that infrastructure spending offers us more bang for our buck than just about any other form of spending.  It is also labor intensive and constitutes a REAL investment in the US. 

Sadly, George W. Bush did not prioritize infrastructure. 

I supported the segments of Obama’s stimulus plan and initial budgets that are prioritizing infrastructure, and am thrilled that it looks like we will once again get back to funding public infrastructure. 

It should not be a partisan or ideological “thing” …

It's time to break-open the ACORN now!!! 

Please read, sign, and forward this.

The Petition:  > > > >

"Tell President Obama to Cut Off ACORN Now!"

It seems that every time ACORN makes the headlines, it's for scandalous activities and criminal investigations.

As if the investigations, indictments, and consent decrees related criminal voter registration fraud activities in more than a dozen states wasn't enough, recent videos show ACORN employees in three cities giving advice to a couple for evading tax laws and getting federal grants to establish a prostitution ring.

Enough is enough!

http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/stopfundingacorn/index.html

Since 1994, ACORN has received more than $53 million in direct federal funding. And, bills passed this year could give ACORN access to as much as $10 billion more.

Democrats in Congress are finally wising up, voting overwhelmingly to stem the flow of your tax dollars to ACORN.

The Census Bureau even severed its ties with ACORN for the 2010 Census. And, governors are cutting ACORN off in their states.

But, President Obama has the power to stop ACORN from getting any more money NOW.

For months, I have fought to cut ACORN off from any more tax money. Using your money is a privilege and their repeated violations of the law and public trust mean they haven't earned that privilege.

I have introduced legislation, offered amendments, and written letters to the IRS, the Census Bureau, the Speaker of the House, the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development -- to anyone who could take action to stop this travesty!

It is time for President Obama to step up to his fiduciary duties to you, the taxpayer, and immediately suspend and bar ACORN from any federal programs or funding.

I urge you to sign this petition and join me in the fight to protect your tax dollars from being used and abused.

http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/stopfundingacorn/index.html

--Rep. Michele Bachmann

President Obama, I urge you to immediately suspend all federal agencies from doing business with ACORN and using our hard-earned tax dollars to perpetuate their scandalous work.

The Senate voted overwhelmingly to cut off ACORN. The House voted overwhelmingly to cut off ACORN. And, now individual states are taking this action as well.

We want to know when you will use the authority you have to suspend and bar ACORN from federal funding.

Paid for by Bachmann for Congress

"President Obama: Feed the Hungry Instead of Wall Street"

http://www.change.org/actions/view/tell_president_obama_to_take_the_lead_on_hunger_with_the_g8?alert_id=ZOxFGJNMjG

Most of the time, broken promises from politicians barely raise an eyebrow.

But what if a broken promise condemned one sixth of the world's population to chronic hunger?

The world's most powerful leaders, including President Obama, did just that in November when they refused to even show up for the Food Security Summit in Rome.

And just four months after promising $22 billion to fight hunger, the G8 leaders still haven't spelled out how they will fund it.

Don't let world leaders get away with ignoring the problem of global hunger.

Ask President Obama to take the lead and demand world leaders make good on their promise >

The global food system is too big to fail. Right now, 1 in 6 people around the world don't have enough to eat. That number is skyrocketing, up 20% since 2005.

Financial multinationals like AIG and Goldman Sachs were considered too big to fail and were bailed out with $100s of billions last fall.

Why can't world leaders follow through on their promise to invest a fraction of that amount on eradicating hunger, one of the most pressing issues of our time?

Tell President Obama that ending world hunger is more important than bailing out irresponsible banks >

We've seen politicians back down on their promises before. But we've also seen the power of grassroots mobilization to change the course of history.

And with more than 1 billion already going hungry, there's no time to waste.

Join us in standing up for the world’s hungry today >

MEDIA RESEARCH CENTER
12/22/2009

American Citizen,

Why is the Senate rushing to pass their mammoth health care takeover plan before Christmas and before anyone has had time to read it? Because they don't want any of us to know what's in it!

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid bought off support for his 2,000+ page health care takeover bill, and apparently will pass the $2.5 trillion ObamaCare plan through the Senate with a vote planned for Christmas Eve.

http://www.mrcaction.org/538/petition.asp?CID=538&RID=21220589

http://www.mrcaction.org/email/emailfriend.asp?&CID=538&RID=21220589

http://www.mrcaction.org/3500/offer.asp?Ref_ID=3028&CID=538&RID=21220589

Meanwhile, instead of shining the light of truth on this socialist experiment, the left-wing media are applying a full-court press to sell ObamaCare.

They swoon over Reid and Obama, while ignoring or marginalizing those who oppose a government takeover of health care that will gut Medicare and bankrupt our country.

Why the rush? What happened to the promise of transparency? We have a right to know the dirty details hidden in this bill before the Senate votes.

These are questions the so-called news media should be asking as they aggressively turn over every rock and shine a penetrating light into every nook and crevice of this monstrosity of a health care plan!

But no, the headlines and news stories vilify the opposition for using delay tactics while heroic liberals race against the clock to pass this historic legislation.

Don't buy the media spin and lies!

The time is NOW for citizens to collectively rise up and demand the media report the real truth about health care reform plans that will almost assuredly destroy our quality of care, provide federal funding of abortion, and take our economy to the very brink of destruction!

The Media Research Center is calling on ALL Action team members to take immediate action in two very important ways:

http://www.mrcaction.org/538/petition.asp?CID=538&RID=21220589

http://www.mrcaction.org/email/emailfriend.asp?&CID=538&RID=21220589

http://www.mrcaction.org/3500/offer.asp?Ref_ID=3028&CID=538&RID=21220589

+ + Action Item 1: Sign our Petition

As a vital member of the MRC Action team, and a soldier in our battle to expose and neutralize liberal media bias, we are asking that you take a moment to add your name to our petition "Demanding the Media Tell the Truth About Government-Run Health Care."

ObamaCare stands to affect every American, young or old. That is why it's imperative that millions of Americans make themselves heard right now, and why we need EVERY member of our exceptional team engaged on this most important issue.

Please take a moment right now to add your name by clicking here.

http://www.mrcaction.org/538/petition.asp?CID=538&RID=21220589

http://www.mrcaction.org/email/emailfriend.asp?&CID=538&RID=21220589

http://www.mrcaction.org/3500/offer.asp?Ref_ID=3028&CID=538&RID=21220589

Right now the MRC is finalizing a last-minute petition delivery to the major news outlets -- calling them out and demanding they report the truth in this health care debacle!

A just-released Zogby poll measured the public's outrage at the railroading of Senate Majority Leader Reid's health care bill. An astounding 84 percent of Americans believe the bill was crafted to be so long so that earmarks and other nefarious details could be hidden and voted on before the public has a chance to see them. This whole process has been disgraceful!

+ + Action Item 2: Call Your Senators

After signing our petition, take a few additional moments to call your Georgia Senators and demand they read this bill before they vote on it.

Again, the American taxpayers and our children are on the hook for ObamaCare. We are the ones who will be forced to enroll in this plan.

We are the ones who will lose our right to make our own personal and private health care decisions. We are the ones who will watch helplessly as the federal government absorbs another one-sixth of the U.S. economy.

We are the ones along with our children and grandchildren who will be forced to pay for this monstrosity!

We have the right to know what is in this bill and we expect our lawmakers to read it before they vote on it!

Here is your contact information:

Sen. Chambliss 202-224-3521

Sen. Isakson 202-224-3643

We are urging all members of the Action team to call EVERY DAY -- until the vote is taken on Christmas Eve!

The outrage needs to be palpable both toward elected officials and the so-called news media whose active deception of the public is reprehensible. That's why we are counting on our MRC Action team to help raise the roof over these next few critical days!

Thank you for standing with the MRC.

David Martin

P.S. After signing the petition, forward this message to 30-40 friends urging them to click here and sign our petition demanding the media report the truth about ObamaCare.
