Is G.O.P. Pledge "Socialism Lite"?
Grassfire Nation Update
We want you to hear a special report Steve Elliott and Ron De Jong recorded on the House G.O.P.'s "Pledge to America":
http://www.grassfire.net/r.asp?U=33127&RID=20602103
In this report, Steve and Ron dissect the "Pledge" and ask some really tough questions...
++Why is the G.O.P. calling for a return to
"pre-stimulus" government spending levels, when
those levels gave us $450 billion in annual
deficits and created the $100+ trillion in
unfunded liabilities?
++Why is the G.O.P. proposing a new government
"agenda" when what we really need is less "agenda"
from government?
++Why is the G.O.P. pledging to "make the decisions
that are necessary to protect our entitlement
programs"?
++How come the G.O.P. is only wanting to prevent
"the expansion of unfunded liabilities" instead
of pledging to reduce this $130 trillion deficit?
++Why is the G.O.P. proposing to repeal ObamaCare
and then replace it with it's own version that
will swap out the individual mandate for an
equally unconstitutional insurance company mandate?
In short, does the G.O.P. get it? Or is what they are proposing socialism "lite"?
We credit Andrew McCarthy's piece in the National Review for raising many of these questions (see link below to McCarthy's article). Please go here for our special report:

+ + Why We Must Stand On Principles
The G.O.P.'s "Pledge" makes it clear that grassroots patriots must be vigilant to stand on principle. This is precisely why Grassfire Nation launched our nationwide "Flip This House 2010" campaign. FLIP This House clearly lays out the principles and plan needed to get our nation back on track.
Now, we need your help.
As you know, we are asking our Grassfire Nation friends to help take the FLIP message to their communities by HOSTING or SPONSORING a FLIP Event.
At last count, 41 local FLIP events have been confirmed and our staff is working to confirm hundreds more that have yet to be finalized.
We urgently need SPONSORS who will help another
Grassfire Nation member host an event.

We still are looking for more HOSTS who will
take the FLIP message to their communities.

Again...
Based on the G.O.P.'s own "Pledge to America," one must wonder... do they get it? Do they really understand what is at stake and what it will take to roll back Big Government socialism?
We must stand on principle.
That's why our FLIP home events are so important.
Please...
