What an amazing few days on the road this has been. Your spirits have been high, your faith strong and your spine unbendable. I ended my multiday book tour at The Villages with what had been billed as a rally but could be better described as a candid citizen-to-citizen chat.

Today, I have stopped looking for a leader to show us the way out because I have come to realize that the only one who can truly save our country…is us. To change America’s course we need to change ourselves, our expectations and our willingness to accept the unacceptable. When we refuse to allow our children to receive a trophy for participation, we are on the road to restoring the meaning of merit in our Republic. When we insist that no one is too big to fail, we will be able to learn from our mistakes, and when we demand that we are self-reliant, we will ensure that others can rely on us, not the government.

There is much to do, much to learn and time is of the essence. While I will be explaining the entire Plan over the coming weeks and months, I did want to give you a preview of some of the highlights:

- Education is key, and not just for our children. To that end, we will be conducting a series of conventions. These will be full-day experiences where you will be immersed in learning about topics ranging from self-reliance, community organizing, the economy and how to be a political force in your own neighborhood and country. The first one will be in Orlando at UCF Arena on March 27th. You will also be able to vote to have a convention in your region by clicking here.

- I have begun meeting with some of the best minds in the country that believe in limited government, maximum freedom and the values of our Founders. I am developing a 100 year plan. I know that the bipartisan corruption in Washington that has brought us to this brink and it will not be defeated easily. It will require unconventional thinking and a radical plan to restore our nation to the maximum freedoms we were supposed to have been protecting, using only the battlefield of ideas.

- All of the above will culminate in The Plan, a book that will provide specific policies, principles and, most importantly, action steps that each of us can take to play a role in this Refounding.

- On August 28, 2010, I ask you, your family and neighbors to join me at the feet of Abraham Lincoln on the National Mall for the unveiling of The Plan and the birthday of a new national movement to restore our great country.

Glenn Beck on The Most Corrupt Administration in U.S. History—The One Thing: 09-29-09; Glenn Beck: The Media Doing Whatever They Can to Convince You That What You See is Not Real

The website they are looking at is http://www.usdebtclock.org/

Remember, the numbers there are very conservative.  I think they are understating the level of our debt by half.

Federal Reserve Says Disclosing Loans Will Hurt Banks - My thought is this “will it hurt the banks or will it hurt the Fed?”

Banker Predicts That 1000 Banks Will Fold In The Next Two Years. – Have you ever notices the big boys are getting “bailed out” and the little guys are getting the short end of the stick? (or maybe event beaten with the stick!)

US ‘problem’ bank list hits 15-year high – This is a list of the banks that are close to going under. Oh, & by the way the FDIC money is at an all time low!

Glen Beck

Glen Beck gets record ratings – Maybe the “boycott” by colorofchange.org is helping Beck more than it is hurting. LOL< he broke the 3 million share mark! What do you think?

Our Opposition gears up for Battle & fires a shot.

Nancy Pelosi asks for $100K to fight ’smears’ – I think she is getting nervous! Get ready for a fight folks.  They are gearing up & trying to use Senator Kennedy’s Death as a rallying cry.

ABC, NBC Won’t Air Ad Critical of Obama’s Health Care Plan – Wow, this really surprises me….. well actually….. Watch the ad below. The group who paid for the ad has a website at leagueofamericanvoters.com pay them a visit and see what they are all about…… They sound like good folks to me.

Who do they think we are?

(They don’t have a clue who we really are)

Congressman Moran from Virginia questions the identity of people at a town hall meeting.  Watch this & your blood will boil. This is what they really think of us! Maybe the reason they are accusing folks is they have done a little “astroturfing” in the past….. Something tells me that this is the case.

Parting Shot

Who do you think is getting the most from the “Cash for Clunkers” program? Uh, it is not the folks in Detroit!

Don’t allow their bullying tactics to work! Boycott the boycotters and support Beck’s advertisers!

I just received this and was asked to forward.  A call to action . Will you make the call? See the end of the e-mail for the phone numbers!

GEICO Cuts Ads from Glenn Beck’s Show
David Schepp

=====================================================================
,
GEICO has agreed to no longer run its iconic car-insurance advertisements during the Glenn Beck Program, which broadcasts on the Fox News Channel cable network, the African-American advocacy organization ColorofChange.org said Wednesday.

The insurer, known for its ads featuring cavemen and a chatty gecko with a cockney accent, has joined a growing list of advertisers who are steering clear of Beck, a self-described “rodeo clown” and conservative commentator with a penchant for petulance and over-the-top criticism of President Barack Obama and other Democratic leaders.

Earlier this month, GEICO instructed its ad buyer “to redistribute its inventory of rotational spots” to other Fox-TV programs, ColorofChange said in a statement, citing an email received from GEICO. “As of August 4, GEICO no longer runs any paid advertising spots during Mr. Beck’s program,” the email read.

Among other sponsors who have pulled their ads from Beck’s show are household products companies Procter & Gamble (PG) and SC Johnson, and another insurer, Progressive Insurance (PGR), ColorofChange said. Progressive Insurance rep Cristy Cote said that the company wants to “avoid programming that we believe our customers and potential customers might find extremely offensive.”

The organization has been urging advertisers to boycott Beck’s show, which airs at 5 p.m. weeknights, for what it calls Beck’s hateful rhetoric, including comments he made about Obama being ‘”a racist” who “has a deep-seated hatred for white people.” Critics say that Beck stirs up division and hatred and feeds misinformation to his audience in an emotional, entertaining way, which, unfortunately, is taken seriously. A recent example includes Beck inspiring anti-health care reform protesters to disrupt town hall meetings.

The Fox News Channel, generally, is known for its conservative stance and its criticism of liberal leaders throughout the government, including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. The network is a subsidiary of News Corp. (NWS), run by media-mogul Rupert Murdoch. News Corp.’s other holdings include The Wall Street Journal, a publication renowned for its conservative editorial stances.

ColorofChange founder James Rucker announced GEICO’s decision in a column published on HuffingtonPost.com on Wednesday afternoon.

ColorofChange is hoping to enlist more people in its effort to pull ads from Beck’s show. To date, it said, 75,000 members of the organization have signed a petition asking executives at specific companies to drop their support for the show.

In his column today, Rucker asked supporters outside the organization to also sign the petition.

Here is another article

Barack Obama’s brownshirts are after Glenn Beck.

We can’t let them win. If they win with Beck, they’ll be emboldened to go after even more people.

A while back, Glenn Beck called Barack Obama a “racist.” Given all the terrorists, thugs, and racists Barack Obama has chosen as close personal friends (see e.g. Rev. Wright), it’s not a stretch to say it.

In fact, Obama’s Green Jobs Czar, the convicted felon and [Editor's Note: I actually find this on blogs, but haven't found it on a real news site, so I'm striking] self-declared communist Van Jones, has direct ties to the organization that’s trying to shut down Glenn Beck. Jones’s group has hired a big Hollywood PR firm and they are pressuring Glenn’s advertisers to stop advertising. If not, they’ll lead a boycott.

We need to strike back and boycott these groups for ditching Beck. If they are going to fold so easily in the face of Obama brownshirts, we must push back. If not, who’ll be next?

Here’s the list of the groups that have boycotted Glenn Beck. Let them know you disagree. Let them know you will boycott them for kowtowing to Barack Obama’s worshippers, brownshirts, goons, and thugs.
