Subject: Obama attacks you -- AFP by name


Dear Leonard,

Want to know the difference you are making with Americans for Prosperity?

President Obama, his poll numbers down in the dumps because of his big government agenda, is now making shrill, desperate attacks on Americans for Prosperity and our 1,200,000 AFP grassroots activists across the nation - folks like you.

Here's what the President said:

"Right now all around this country there are groups with harmless-sounding names like Americans for Prosperity, who are running millions of dollars of ads against Democratic candidates all across the country. And they don't have to say who exactly the Americans for Prosperity are. You don't know if it's a foreign-controlled corporation. You don't know if it's a big oil company, or a big bank. You don't know if it's an insurance company that wants to see some of the provisions in health reform repealed because it's good for their bottom line, even if it's not good for the American people."

The President and his friends on the Left are back to accusing you and me of being front groups for "foreign-controlled corporations" or for "big banks" or a "big oil company" - the President personally denigrates the integrity of over 1,200,000 Americans just because he's angry that we're taking an effective stand against his liberal policies.

How sad. How outrageous. (And Lenny says: HOW PATHETIC!!!!!)

Across the nation, literally thousands of our fellow Americans are turning out for our November is Coming bus tour events and grassroots training sessions. I was in Michigan earlier this week and across Pennsylvania last week. The atmosphere is electric. CLICK HERE for pictures of these events and our upcoming schedule.

The President is right about one thing - Americans for Prosperity is running ads across the nation urging Americans to call their member of Congress to tell him or her that they better stop supporting big government legislation like the health care takeover, cap-and-tax, and yet more big bloated spending. CLICK HERE TO SEE SOME OF THESE ADS.

President Obama can continue his attacks but that won't change the fact that November is Coming. Commit today to doing your part to make sure our fellow Americans send a powerful message to our fellow citizens and to Congress on behalf of freedom and prosperity. You can knock on doors, call citizens, become a neighborhood leader and so much more. CLICK HERE to sign up for our November is Coming efforts.

Take heart -- the President is attacking us by name. He knows, and the Left knows, we are making a crucial difference.

Tell us your story about your grassroots activism by clicking here, http://capwiz.com/americansforprosperity/utr/1/JSHQNAWRME/FVVINAWRZG/5644375261. We'll share the stories and let Obama and the Left know you're not "big oil" or "big banks".

Let's keep fighting because much lies ahead.

Sincerely,

Tim Phillips

PS: You know the real story about AFP. We're supported by over 70,000 Americans just like you. Please consider making a contribution to support our efforts. Any amount will go a long way to defeat President Obama's big government agenda.

Dear [The message(s) you sent had each recipient's name here]:

To MY Senators, Vitter and Landrieu:

Vote YES on the Murkowski Resolution, SJ Res. 26

The Environmental Protection Agency is an out-of-control bureaucracy attempting an unprecedented power-grab, seeking to regulate every aspect of our lives and take control of the U.S. economy by shoehorning greenhouse gas regulation into the 1970 Clean Air Act. There is no imaginable worse tool than the Clean Air Act, whose old fashioned, command-and-control regulations would devastate the United States economy.

The impacts of allowing EPA to continue with its proposed regulations are easy to see. It is your responsibility as a Member of Congress to stop them. Not by replacing Clean Air Act regulation with another economically ruinous scheme like cap-and-trade, but with clean pre-emption language that removes the threat. Codifying the "tailoring rule" will not resolve this issue and should not be allowed to be offered as a solution.

I therefore urge you to co-sponsor and to vote for the Murkowski Resolution under the Congressional Review Act, which would overturn EPA's proposed regulations. If you do not do everything possible to stop the EPA, I will hold you responsible for what EPA does.

To MY House Member, Steven Scalise:

There are several bipartisan efforts underway that I urge you to support. The most important is the joint resolution under the Congressional Review Act, S.J. Res 26, which may pass the Senate and will need your strong support. H.J. Res. 76 is the companion legislation in the House and I urge to sign a discharge petition for House action. I also urge you to support H.R. 391, legislation that would pre-empt EPA's alleged authority to regulated greenhouse gases. If you do not do everything in your power to stop the EPA, I will hold you responsible for what EPA does.

For MY other elected officials, I STRONGLY SUGGEST that you go here and help to STOP the EPA's power grab by calling and emailing YOUR elected officials.

After posting the above blog, I got yet another opportunity to email my elected windbags and decided to get a little more flamboyant in my RANT towards them. Here it is:

Re: Repeal the EPA Carbon Dioxide Endangerment Finding

The EPA is endangering population sustainability and economic growth

ALG (Americans for Limited Government) President Bill Wilson has urged the Senate to vote in favor of Senator Lisa Murkowski's resolution that would repeal an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) finding classifying carbon dioxide as a pollutant.

IF CARBON DIOXIDE (CO2) IS A POLLUTANT, THEN I KNOW OF A WAY TO GET RID OF A LOT OF IT.... GET RID OF ALL YOU WINDBAGS IN CONGRESS WHO ARE EXPELLING CO2 AT RECORD LEVELS WITH ALL YOUR HOT AIR!!! EVEN MORE SO WHEN YOU'RE BLOWING SMOKE UP THE ASSES OF THE PEOPLE!!!

THIS IS WHY YOU SHOULD REPEAL THIS FINDING... IF YOU DON'T, THEN YOU ALL ARE MASSIVE POLLUTERS AND WE TAXPAYERS SHOULD FINE EACH OF YOU JUST LIKE BP OIL IS BEING FINED FOR THEIR POLLUTION.

Surely, now you can see the stupidity in claiming that CO2 is pollution when it clearly is not and all plants/trees need CO2 in order to create Oxygen (O2) during photosynthesis. If we did away with CO2 creation, we would also be doing away with Oxygen creation.

ONLY CONGRESS COULD THINK THIS IS LOGICAL OR PRACTICAL. HOW ABOUT PROVING YOURSELVES TO NOT BE SO GOD DAMNED STUPID FOR A CHANGE!!!!

Sincerely,

Leonard Vasbinder
