I'm no fan of Reagan, but there are enough who are. Don't they want to know how far they have veered to the extreme right of their beloved icon? We can build (independent) support by running ads in Wisconsin (and everywhere else) by using Reagan's own words, "Where free unions and collective bargaining are forbidden, freedom is lost!" captured in this video.

The attack on collective bargaining and unions is an assault on freedom. Frame early, hammer this message. I'm writing this more as a heads up, if anyone has the time and energy to invest in writing a substantive diary, please be my guest.

REAGAN'S LABOR DAY SPEECH

We have history on our side.
We should use this video to hammer out our message.
I know, it's Reagan, but he is a great messenger.
The media should ask those professed Reaganlovers how they reconcile their position on labor and bargaining rights with those of Reagan? (I can imagine Sarah Palin squirming in her chair looking for an answer convoluted enough for fox viewers to say "hey, that's so crazy i believe it!"

and what about making reagan t-shirts?
it is a fight between "corporations and their get away with anything by changing laws by buying politicians" and the american people. Who has access to the American Dream?

Where is our messaging machine?

PLEASE STEP UP!

ROBERT GIBBS: I was told that — that K Street had a copy of the Baucus plan, meaning, not surprisingly, the special interests have gotten a copy of the plan

Everything that could go wrong with health care can be summed up with three words: THE BAUCUS PLAN.

The CBPP just came out with their analysis of Senator Baucus' Health Care Bill. Read it here. It's ugly. Is this the result of painstaking months of work? How tone deaf can one be? Don't forget, Senator Baucus is leaving the door open to more Republicans compromises.

How can anyone take so much time and only compile a bill with all the WORSE aspects and unintended consequences of reform? This bill only proves the Reagan mantra of "Government is the problem and not the solution." Baucus faux-us has become the Republican's trojan horse.

How the Baucus Plan gets it all wrong: (How Baucus f**ks us)
