Palatine Tea Party: Thoughts from a Fellow Patriot

August 17, 2011 by

For the past weeks all we have been hearing about is the debt ceiling and the doomsday “Downgrade of our economy” and now the DINO’s (Democrats in Name Only) are blaming the TEA Party” and how much WE messed up the debt ceiling deal? Well… they came up with the deal and now we have been downgraded anyway. Lot of good it did us and while everyone was worried about that…how much else was going on behind the debt talks that the media did not tell us about. The latest one that made me scratch my head, President Obama’s bus tour. Paid for by taxpayers because it is a “jobs creation” tour not a “campaign tour.” What!!! REALLY??? When has this President stopped campaign since 2008? Are the Republicans going to let this happen and if so why?

First, lets identify who is sitting in DC, how long they have been there and their philosophical look at politics. We are all familiar with our feelings on RINOS (Republican In Name Only), the “old guard”. Well… we have the same thing on the left, DINOS (Democrats In Name Only) who are actually PROGRESSIVES. Where are the JFK Democrats? Many of the TEA Party, 912 Groups, Pachyderms, Campaign for Liberty etc…have a number of these Democrats in their groups that stand with the TEA Party on the basic issues that make us what we are, Bipartisan, and we stand and believe in Less Spending/Fiscal Responsibility, Smaller Government, Less Taxes, and the following of the Constitution.

Melissa Bean’s – “The Hill” Ratings

June 1, 2010 by

From the Palatine Tea Party…

(Palatine, Illinois) – For the last 5+ years Rep. Melissa Bean has touted government accountability, fiscal responsibility and tax relief. But does her record live up to her rhetoric? What has Rep. Bean been doing on our behalf? For starters, ignoring and avoiding her more conservative constituents. So much for accountability. She also voted for all major deficit laden, big government legislation such as bailouts, stimulus and health care. So much for fiscal responsibility. And has anyone noticed any tax relief in the last 5 years?

So what else should we know about Rep. Bean before the November election? If she’s reelected will her conduct and votes reflect our principles and values?

Where is the Fiscal Responsibility?

May 27, 2010 by

From the Palatine Tea Party…

(Palatine, Illinois) – Our public National Debt has passed $13,000,000,000,000* for the first time in our history. That is a debt per citizen of $42,030* and a debt per taxpayer of $117,992*.

It is even worse when the unfunded liabilities for Social Security, Prescription Drug, and Medicare are included which will add an additional $108,775,000,000,000+*.

In addition, just this month the CBO stated that the legislation will cost an additional $115 Billion more than originally assumed. This puts the total cost of Obamacare well OVER $1 Trillion.

Did You Get a 42% Increase in 2009?

May 26, 2010 by

From the Palatine Tea Party…

(Palatine, Illinois) – Melissa Bean must believe people got a 42% increase in their 2009 paychecks, because she is spending as if people have. Bean sponsored or co-sponsored the following 17 Earmark projects in 2009 totaling $38,314,314* which represents a 42% increase from her 2008 Earmarks projects totaling which totaled $26,842,300*.

With record deficits in 2009 of over one trillion dollars and unemployment near 10% we can see why people are angry with members of Congress and “Voter unhappiness with Congress has reached the highest level ever recorded by Rasmussen Reports as 71% now say the legislature is doing a poor job. That’s up ten points from the previous high of 61% reached.”

Bean To Earmark or Not To Earmark

May 24, 2010 by

From the Palatine Tea Party…

Melissa Bean sponsored or co-sponsored the following 27 Earmark projects in 2008 totaling $26,842,300*. Actions like these are what are wrong with American politics today! Where is the common sense and accountability to the United States taxpayer? Experience is lacking in her judgment as she continues with this reckless behavior. This is not your money to waste!

We do not have the money to pay for projects like these. Because of actions like this, we continue to borrow money from counties like Brazil, China, Colombia, Egypt, Japan, Russia, and Saudi Arabia. We will continue to pay interest on these 2008 Earmark projects for decades to come.

Melissa Bean’s Healthcare101 – Part 13 of 13

May 19, 2010 by

From the Palatine Tea Party…

(Palatine, Illinois) – The Palatine Tea Party will debate Melissa Bean on any of the Healthcare topics covered in her letter to constituents in district 8 dated April 16, 2010. Anytime and any place. If she has read the Healthcare bill and understands its parts then she should not have an issue with this open debate. It’s time for her to actually prove if she understands what she voted for and not hide behind talking points. It’s time to directly talk to the constituents in district 8.

Failing to accept this debate will clearly indication she voted YES on the Healthcare bill affecting all the people in district 8 without reading and understanding the Healthcare bill and can not even debate her own letter to the constituents in district 8 that she is to represent.

More of Melissa Bean’s Hypocritical Ways

April 22, 2010 by

From the Palatine Tea Party…

(Palatine, Illinois) – Since Melissa Bean voted yes on January 28, 2009 for the $787B stimulus bill the unemployment rate in Lake County continues to rise. While Bean spent the last year ignoring her constituents and the American people she continued down a path of the takeover of our healthcare industry while ignoring the jobs which are disappearing at an alarming rate in Lake County. Bean’s stance to support the Obama Administration’s failed policies is hurting businesses and individuals which live and work in Lake County.
