As we mark President Obama’s 100th day in office, Republicans, Independents and even Democrats are realizing that the President Obama’s promise of “Change” is really an assault on capitalism, free enterprise and fiscal responsibility. By contributing $100, $75, $50, or even $25, you can help put a stop to President Obama and the Congressional Democrats increased taxes and reckless spending.
In the last 100 Days, the Florida GOP has received numerous calls and emails from voters who have recently joined the Republican Party because they feel President Obama has not delivered the same change he promised. Floridians like Steven from Pensacola, a registered Democrat who voted for President Obama. He is now a registered Republican and is working to join the Escambia Republican Executive Committee and start a Young Republicans Club.
Eugene from Port St. Lucie always voted for the person, not the party. A Democrat for the last ten years, Eugene emailed the RPOF recently to proudly proclaim that he has joined our ranks in support of less taxing, less spending, and less government. Eugene and so many others are taking a stand against President Obama and Nancy Pelosi’s Congressional Democrats ideas for how to “fix” the economy that have led to the most reckless spending and borrowing policies America has ever seen.
Even one of President Obama’s most enthusiastic supporters, Edith Childs, the city councilwoman from Greenwood, South Carolina and originator of the “Fired Up, and Ready to Go” chant President Obama made famous on the campaign trail, recently told the Washington Post that she has gone from “fired up” to “tired out.” President Obama’s supporters might be “tired out,” from defending his 3.6 trillion budget that would add $5.7 trillion in new government debt, an amount equal to $48,000 per family, but Republicans are still “fired up,” hitting the streets by the hundreds of thousands last week to protest the “change” President Obama is bringing to America.
Here at the Republican Party of Florida we are “fired up” too, and we need your help to elect Republicans that will reign in President Obama and Nancy Pelosi’s Congressional Democrats. Your contribution of $100, $75, $50, or even $25 can help the RPOF stay the course in our fight to preserve family values and maintain an economic structure that allows families and businesses to flourish.

A simple analogy
An economics professor at a local college made a statement that he had never failed a single student before but had once failed an entire class.
That class had insisted that socialism worked and that no one would be poor and no one would be rich, a great equalizer.
The professor then said, “OK, we will have an experiment in this class on socialism. All grades would be averaged and everyone would receive the same grade so no one would fail and no one would receive an A.
After the first test, the grades were averaged and everyone got a B.
The students who studied hard were upset and the students who studied little were happy.
As the second test rolled around, the students who studied little had studied even less and the ones who studied hard decided they wanted a free ride too so they studied little.
The second test average was a D! No one was happy.
When the 3rd test rolled around, the average was an F.
The scores never increased as bickering, blame and name-calling all resulted in hard feelings and no one would study for the benefit of anyone else.
All failed, to their great surprise, and the professor told them that socialism would also ultimately fail because when the reward is great, the effort to succeed is great but when government takes all the reward away, no one will try or want to succeed.
Could not be any simpler than that.

| This breach of common sense is all too typical of the Obama administration’s approach to national security. Just 99 days into office, Obama’s performance has already raised serious questions about his national security strategy.
Apologizer in Chief: In his first 100 days in office, President Barack Obama completed two whirlwind tours of Europe and Latin America. His message on both continents was simple: America has made many mistakes in the past, but we’re now ready to listen to others and be more flexible. It was a hugely popular message, particularly when he criticized or apologized for America. But the results were paltry. The problem with this type of “engagement” is that, at some point, foreign leaders begin to see it (correctly) as pandering. President Obama’s apologies for U.S. policies are interpreted in North Korea, Iran and Venezuela not as an honest act of attrition that should elicit reciprocity from them, but rather as an apology demanding more concessions from the United States.
Gutting the Defense Budget: While the numbers for the FY 2010 defense budget are debatable, President Obama’s 10-year budget blueprint is crystal clear: in every year beyond FY 2010 there will be negative real growth for the defense budget. The deep cuts will come in procurement programs for systems like the F-22 and the next generation Navy destroyer. The decisions were driven not by national security needs but by a desire to rein in Pentagon spending. Projected Administration defense budgets over the next five years may underfund defense spending by over a trillion dollars.
Dumbing Missile Defense Down: The President approved a cut of roughly 15 percent of the Pentagon’s missile defense budget and abandoned deploying defenses in Western Europe. In addition, the White House failed to obtain any meaningful response from the U.N. Security Council on ballistic missile launches by Iran and North Korea. With Pakistan teetering on the edge, the ballistic missile threat has not diminished; in fact it is growing.
Detainee Dithering: The Obama administration continues to send mixed signals about how America will detain our enemies in what they now call “Overseas Contingency Operations.” The recent partial release of CIA memos was particularly unhelpful and betrays a complete lack of a coherent administration detainee strategy.
Border Blunders: Is it a crime to enter the U.S. illegally? Have terrorists routinely entered the United States through Canada, including the perpetrators of the Sept. 11 attacks? Are our veterans a threat to national security? Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano has been an absolute disaster since she took office. She should face tough questioning from Senate Judiciary Committee next week.
There have been some bright spots for the Obama administration in national security. President Obama has largely continued to implement the strategic course laid out by the Bush Administration in Iraq and Afghanistan. But even there, the left is pressuring the White House to change course.

I know many of you already know about this but I feel a responsibility to show you who your President really is. This is HIS agenda folks whether he writes the legislation or not. He approves it.
We cannot allow more of our rights to be trampled on. Do not let this happen. Please, I urge you to write in opposition to this. IF PASSED, this will forever take away the rights you currently have. And oh, by the way,
Who exactly is administering and deciphering these “examinations”?

| Very Important for you to be aware of a new bill HR 45 introduced into the House.
Sale Act of 2009
We just learned yesterday about this on the Peter Boyles radio program.
To find out about this – go to any government website and type in HR 45 or Google HR 45 Blair Holt Firearm Licensing & Record of Sales Act of 2009.
You are fingerprinted, (like a criminal) You supply a current Driver’s License
You will submit to a physical & mental evaluation at any time of their choosing
There is a child provision clause on page 16 section 305 stating a child-access provision. Gun must be locked and inaccessible to any child under 18.
would have the right to come and inspect that you are storing your gun safely away from accessibility to children and fine is punishable for up to 5 yrs. in prison.
Any hunters in your family – pass this along.
This is just a “termite” approach to complete confiscation of guns and disarming of our society to the point we have no defense – chip away a little here and there until the goal is accomplished before anyone realizes it. (Did Obama promise transparency?
It seems his motives are more and more transparent while his methods are hidden in back rooms.)
If you take my gun, only the criminals will have one to use against me.

There was a Pied Piper who said
We live in the greatest country in the world.
Help me change it! And the people said, Change is good!And the people said, “Sock it to them!And the people said, “Show me the money!
And Joe the plumber said, “Are you kidding me? ’s personal records were hacked and publicized. ”And she was banished from the kingdom! And the Pied Piper said, Simple. Ill sit down and talk with them and show them how nice we really are and theyll forget that they ever wanted to kill us all!And one, lone voice said, “But 40% of us don’t pay ANY taxesSo the Pied Piper said, Then I’ll give you some of the taxes the fat-cats pay! ”Then the Pied Piper said, I’ll tax your Capital Gains when you sell your homes!And the people said, “Gimme some of that! And the people said, “Where’s my rebate check? actually said,(see youtube of obama saying this) Ill bankrupt the coal industry and electricity rates will skyrocket! ’” So the Pied Piper said, Not to worry. If your rebate isn’t enough to cover your expenses, we’ll bail you out. Just sign up with ACORN and your troubles are over!
Then he said, illegal immigrants feel scorned and slighted. Let’s grant them amnesty, Social Security, free education, free lunches, free medical care, bi-lingual signs and guaranteed housing And so it came to pass that employers, facing spiraling costs and ever-higher taxes, raised their prices and laid off workers.Others simply gave up and went out of business and the economy slowed even further. Then the Pied Piper said, I am the Messiah and I’m here to save you! We’ll just print more money so everyone will have enough! But our foreign trading partners said, Wait a minute.
Your dollar isn’t worth what it was. You’ll have to pay more. ” our rules! ”If you think this is a fairy tale, open your eyes and ears. Its happening RIGHT NOW!
