Sixteen hours and twenty-five pages later, its desirable [per Guzzardi] to provide a prioritized-guide.

The urgent action-item is to work aggressively during the upcoming month to Defund ObamaCare; support for this approach has been provided by star parker, and it would be desirable to attend the rally led by former-senator Jim DeMint on August 29th @ 6 p.m. [@ DoubleTree by Hilton, 4727 Concord Pike, Wilmington, Delaware 19803], noting that Senator Cruzs father* will also speak. [Even MSNBC is recognizing that, as America Braces for Obamacare, Nurse practitioners are filling the doc-shortage gap.] Here is Jim DeMint on FOXNEWS Talking about the Defund Tour. Also, please sign a petition to Defund ObamaCare. To alleviate episodic anxiety, consider viewing these 50 most-perfectly-timed-photos-ever.

An alternative viewpoint is provided [provisionally] by Sen. Toomey [8/8/2013 letter], which appears not to state a reasonable alternative that could be adopted prior to initiation of ObamaCare on 1/1/2013: Thank you for contacting my office about discretionary funding and ObamaCare. I appreciate hearing from you. The presidents health care law is fundamentally wrong in its approach to improving our nations health care system. This law imposes onerous new mandates and regulations that will have numerous unintended consequences. Its bad for patients, its bad for doctors, and its bad for our economy. Additionally, it threatens to put serious strains on our nations long term fiscal outlook. Since the laws unfortunate adoption, I have made it perfectly clear that I want to completely repeal ObamaCare. I am in favor of defunding it to the extent we can and have consistently voted in favor of efforts to undo the law. I also am an original cosponsor of legislation, including one introduced by Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX), that would achieve this goal. As you may know, Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) is circulating a letter to Senate Leadership pledging not to support a continuing resolution or any other appropriations legislation that includes ObamaCare funding. While I value your input on this matter and support

the intentions behind Senator Lees letter, I have not signed onto it at this point. My reasons are tactical. The question is would my signing the letter help us get ObamaCare dismantled, defunded, or repealed sooner? For a number of reasons, I am not convinced that it would. For instance, the vast majority of ObamaCare is funded outside the discretionary spending process. Even if we eliminated all ObamaCare discretionary funding in a continuing resolution or other appropriations bill, a substantial majority of the law would still go forward including all of the taxes, the harmful individual mandate, and the insurance exchanges. In addition, President Obama is not going to sign a bill that totally eliminates his signature achievement. Shutting down the government will unfortunately not change this outcome, and the fallout from such an unsuccessful effort could undermine our efforts to dismantle ObamaCare. Instead of focusing solely on discretionary funding bills as a tactic, I will continue working with my Senate colleagues on a broader array of strategies to dismantle ObamaCare. As the American people become increasingly aware of how awful this law is for them, I remain hopeful that we can achieve this goal. This effort could include dismantling ObamaCare piece-by-piece for instance, we could delay or eliminate the individual mandate or repeal the harmful medical device tax. As I continue engaging with Senator Lee and other colleagues on this important issue, please be assured that I will keep your concerns in mind.

It is unlikely many BHO Scandal-Sheet updates will emerge from D.C. during the dog-days of August. BHO is trying to seek Americas understanding and Trust, but the phony-scandal-line-is-playing-poorly. Some claim a scandal-bigger-than-benghazi pends [although this one doesnt appear to involve Jarrett]; others note the dire side-effects of delaying-justice-in-benghazi [which may be explained by the fact that 400 U.S. missiles were "diverted to Libya" and ended up being stolen from the Benghazi Annex and falling into "the hands of some very ugly people"]. Regarding the IRS, it is alleged that Lerner illegally disclosed information to the FEC; a newly-released tape of Lerner quotes her as saying "everyone" was "screaming at" the IRS to stop the flood of money pouring into the 2010 elections through 501(c)(4) groups as a result of Citizens United. Regarding the NSA, hackers-threatened-to-attack-had-snowdenbeen-arrested; also, Stop and Frisk is Unconstitutional, but it hasnt been Stopped.

Inextricably interwoven with the effort to Defund ObamaCare are two intra-GOP forces; first is the need to ID those GOP moderates who are pushing-back on TEA party spending cuts and, second, is the need to appreciate how quickly the field of GOP-candidates for POTUS-16 may narrow [noting that, as chrischristie-is $-raising, ted-cruz-apparently became the-2016-gop-frontrunner-in-iowa this past weekend]. {Of greater immediacy, the GRAHAM CHALLENGER claims her CITADEL EXPERIENCE MEANS she WON'T COMPROMISE CONSERVATIVE VALUES [contrasting with The Obama-fication of the U.S. Military].}

Illustrative of how the media are attempting to control the narrative is how aggressively they attacked Steve King as he defended his immigration comments; illustrative of the passive/aggressive posture that BHO has adopted are the facts that the Feds wont aid Arizona after the fire that killed 19 firefighters and that ice-is funding the housing of-illegals-in-hotels, as-others-are released-into-u-s-population.

That same night, Piers Morgan was only able to pull in 71,000 viewers from that demo. Worse still, CNN also lost the demo fight Thursday night to its sister network, HLN. By comparison, MSNBC averaged 131,000 primetime demo viewers. Fox News nearly beat both of its left-wing counterparts combined with 216,000 demo viewers.] Predictably retreating from prior critique of NBC/CNN management regarding the HRC-puff-pieces, the Morning Joe crowd crowed that at least one would be made by FNC and, thus, critique thereof should have been blunted; such comments, of course, were coupled with manifest-destiny-type comments.
