On August 3, 2010, the Missouri electorate will vote on Proposition C, the Missouri Health Care Freedom Act (MHCFA). Have no doubt - this is the first shot fired against the power grab known as Obamacare. If successful, if we beat back this overreach of federal power in Missouri, other states will move forward. Should we fail - especially with low voter turnout, the media,the Obama administration and Congressional Democrats will gain a second wind. I can think of few things more disastrous leading into November than giving the Democrats hope.

Josie Wales, a lawyer from Missouri writing at Big Government, calls August 3 “the most important day in America“.” Missouri will be the first state to allow the public at large to voice its opinion on Obamacare. Most of us know that the majority of Americans view Obamacare with disgust; disgust at the process by which it was passed and disgust by the burden it will impose. We’ve been forced to speak through rallies and a diminished Republican party, until now. Now there is an opportunity for the average voter to act upon that disgust.

Why should you care? What does a Missouri proposition have to do with the other 49 states? MHCFA represents the first battle in the war against the bureaucratic, tax-happy nightmare that has saddled Americans over the last century. Just as the Supreme Court gun cases are changing the debate on the Second Amendment back to gun ownershig being a fundamental right, states signalling their refusal to go along with individual and employer mandates will alter the debate on the proper role of the federal government. At issue is a single idea - can the government compel you to purchase a product they design simply because you’re a US citizen?


MHCFA is a call to arms for all freedom loving Americans, but even in our state there is complacency. Polling looks good, so the Republican establishment is taking it easy. They’re crossing their fingers and hoping no last minute barrage of ads derails the proposition, as has been done every time the Left wants something. From direct mail to phone banks to television ads by outside groups, the Left will carpetbomb Missouri in the week before the vote, and conservatives will have no time to react.

So we need your help. Not with money. Not with volunteers. Though both would be nice, what we really need is the collective voice of conservative America.

Support MHCFA.


Supporting MHCFA is as simple as linking to the effort on the internets, posting an article about the effort on your blog, leaving a comment about the effort on a website, and mentioning the effort in any other social medium: Twitter, Facebook, church, work, bars, sporting events, airplanes, bank lines, family dinners….

We need national recognition. Recognition of the effort in Missouri will lend to its success. If we succeed by large margins in Missouri, you can be sure that success will follow in other states across this great nation.

Don’t get me wrong. We’re not sitting idle. Tea Party groups, conservative candidates, and conservative bloggers are out writing and knocking on doors and calling our connections to generate press. But we need the folks at Red State to help.
Please support the MHCFA in whatever method you choose, and visit the website:

If you’re writing about healthcare, link to something on Missouri. If you’re reading about Healthcare in Missouri, link to that story, and leave a comment. If you’re writing about The Healthcare Freedom Act, please send a note to Benjamin at rivercitytea@gmail.com and he will link back. If you’re writing about a healthcare lawsuit in your own state, send him a note and we’ll tie it back into the larger fight.

We need noise on the issue more than anything else. Anyone care to raise their voice?

Preparing the house for the King of Kings: Stage 1 Our Bedroom

Preparing the house for the King of Kings:
Stage 1 Our Bedroom
Ya know, if it is mine, then I make the excuse, "Who cares, I am the only one here 24/7 and so what difference does it make if it is a mess" I really honestly only care if the house looks good if I am having company. That is so BAD!!!! When did I get to that point of forgetting that I do not live here ALONE. My precious God is here with me. I somewhere along the road I forgot to remember He is here with me. And if He is here, I better get this bedroom ready not just for me, but FOR ROYALTY.
Today I am going to finish that which I started, so when Terry gets home he can finish what he started (Framing the doorways and windows and trimming the ceiling). We need to get this joint ready to receive the King of Kings!!!! He is already here, but we need to get it looking like He is already here!!!
Okay so far today:
I pulled my storage suit case out from beside the bed where my dear husband has been stumbling to get over it and into bed every time he is home. Since I put it there, I guess he figures that is where I want it... poor man! I went through it and got the clothes I actually wear out of it, and then started to discard the junk. at the bottom of the bag was a piece of ancient crochet work, a nice piece of lace, probably was going to make a collar for someone's dress...
It had come from a box of JUNK I had purchased at an antique store several (at least 5) years ago. It was some beautiful workmanship. However it was tattered and torn, and it had not real connection to me, my mom had not made it, nor had my great grandmother or her mother or her daughter. It literally had zero connection to me. Other than the lesson I learned this morning from that tattered piece of lace. At one time it was very beautiful, but it was never finished. It had lain around for some hundred years, and had slowly deteriorated. Though I could still see the workmanship, it really had no purpose. Those who might have even had a connection with its creator, had discarded it, because they saw no value in it. Perhaps they held the creator of the piece in high esteem, but saw no reason to save her handy work. so, why did I? My whole life I have been holding onto many little unfinished pieces of antique lace of one sort or another, and IT HAS TO STOP NOW!!! One piece of antique unfinished lace at a time.
So I tossed the lace in the garbage sack and then threw my beloved red plaid PJ bottoms in there too (they have been waiting for over 5 years for me to repair them, and this morning I realized they are irreparable. And one piece at a time I WILL get this place ready to host the king!
Prayers and words of encouragement are welcome!!!!
