Got roboed by Americans For Prosperity today over ObamaCare ruling. Libs/Dems better get ads up NOW.

These rotten horrid right wingers and their corporate groups are getting ready for a repeat of two years ago with ads, rallies, and a whole new LIE campaign over the healthcare law. Today I got the Americans For Prosperity robo call saying it was the biggest tax increase ever and that they were planning demonstrations in my state.

Maddow said it right. NOW is the time for Dems and Dem groups to get the hell on the same page, circle their own wagons, and get ads up with a TRUTH campaign about what the law really does and get into ATTACK mode against the corporate right wing LIARS.

This time Dems, don't sit back on your rearends. We need everyone to tout the law in social media, talks with friends, neighbors,
co-workers, etc., letters to the editor, and our political leaders need to get the hell on OFFENSE on this RIGHT NOW in their campaigns and ads need to go up RIGHT NOW supporting the law. The right wingers are throwing in a bunch of money on this to try to use it as a wedge issue and to rally their rank and file for November.

** One of the best tactics is to get ads up RIGHT NOW about how ROMNEYCARE is an ObamaCare twin with the video of Mittens touting ITS mandate and saying it should be a national model. Also, they should explicitly show pics of Justice Roberts, a BUSH appointee, with voiceover saying that it was HE who cast the deciding vote and it was HE who wrote the opinion.

Obama, Sherrod Brown and Charlie Wilson. Charlie Wilson got teabagged in 2010 and is trying to get back in office this year.

I know they are annoying but let them waste their money on deaf ears so to speak. The longer you keep them on the line the less calls they can make to others that are less informed.

Got same robocall in CT tonight. Got no idea where they got our number...when they start targeting registered Dems they must be desperate. Let 'em talk to my answering machine for awhile. Quite a while :-D

Completely disgusted my independent voting husband. This tactic won't win the hearts and minds of many voters. All they're doing is managing to PO people here.
