Fox News’ Dick Morris to speak Thursday at Simon Park
Dick Morris, a political analyst for Fox News Channel, Republican strategist and former advisor to President Bill Clinton, is scheduled to speak at 2 p.m. today at Simon Park in downtown Conway at a “Hands off my Health Care!” rally sponsored by Patients First, a project of the Americans for Prosperity organization.
Americans for Prosperity is conducting a bus tour of Arkansas that will include speaking engagements in Little Rock, Conway, Hot Springs Village, Heber Springs, Batesville, Rogers and two appearances in Harrison, according to an Americans for Prosperity news release.
“We are at a critical juncture in our nation’s history,” Americans for Prosperity state director Teresa Crossland-Oelke stated in the release. “Let’s make sure that— on our watch — freedom and liberty are protected for the next generation.
“Join me in sending a loud and relentless message that government control of our health care is wrong for America,” the release continues.
Attendees are encouraged to bring signs, according to an e-mail invitation to the event sent by the Faulkner County Tea Party organization.

i'm so going....
and holding up a sign FOR health care!!!! anyone care to join me?
the spectacle is going to be mind boggling
my two cents...
the people who are happy with the current health care system are not using it! people who oppose reform are carrying water for the health insurance industry whether they know it or not. all statistical analysis points to the fact they are impacting peoples health in negative ways while pocketing insane profits!
what if people had been this short sighted when social security was enacted? i understand philosophical opposition, but this is inconsistent. no one rejects other social programs as unemployment insurance, police protection, fire departments, public education, the highway department, and on and on!
here is a very informing interview with the leader of the group that is sponsoring this event

I don't know if a rally at
I don't know if a rally at Simon Park will help much, but anything we can do to stop this health care bill is worth our time. Let's leave Socialism to other countries and stay with the free market system. Yes, there are some things that need to be done to fix our current system, but turning it over to the Federal Government is not one of them.
The Socialism Myth And Mindset
"Let's leave Socialism to other countries and stay with the free market system. " --ARocks
Oh please!
LET'S NOT...
"In this mode we approach the problems of healthcare. Our country now has more than 300 million people. It is pushing toward 400 million in the next few decades. For that population our most demanding problems will be food, clothing, shelter, water, and healthcare, along with education and employments to sustain the people and the systems involved. We simply cannot afford a debate about what ideological format fits our essential functions. We need reliable delivery systems. We must have those systems for the benefit of all our people. We need them on a scale that matches the foreseeable dimensions of our country. We need them at costs that can reasonably be met by the weakest as well as the strongest members of our population. We simply cannot afford a healthcare system that contributes more to gross concentrations of wealth than it contributes to the health of our people.
There can be no debate about the coverage of any system we eventually achieve. It must effectively serve everybody. Other developed societies now manage these requirements more comprehensively and less expensively than we do. Governments play active and necessary roles. In a system where all available resources are increasingly stressed by human numbers, we must adopt reliable economies of function and scale. Our acceptance of the extent to which the Federal Government must be directly involved has been slow in coming, even as Medicare has become an essential part of our healthcare system.
It is a myth to argue that any system that uniformly and fairly meets the needs of our people is "socialistic" in some derogatory political sense. It is blind bias to argue that a government that steps in to cover gaps in the care of its people has undermined our economic system or exceeded the needs of governance. The work required to achieve the system we need must be carried out by millions of people in many different but related functions. Some will necessarily be in government administration. On the ground delivery functions are scientific, technical, humanitarian, and eminently personal, and they can be carried out by many private entities. "

If you're retired at 50 you better hope your Government works!
The Cash for Clinker program 'gave dealers and consumers a huge shot in the arm.'
The program accomplished what it was set out to do, which was to get consumers back into the showrooms and to jump-start new-vehicle sales.
"When President-elect Barack Obama arrived in Washington at the beginning of the week and began lobbying for $775 billion in stimulus spending over the next two years, the nation's economists — at least the ones who are listened to in Washington — expressed near unanimous support."
Where the stimulus money is going?
