National Healthcare Defunding

Greeting all,

I am a new addition to The Rebels Guide to Reason and I thought I should start you off with a call to action. The first bit of information is on the Federal Level and includes a link to a petition on defunding the National Healthcare program (“ObamaCare”). I have included a link to an article from the Wall Street Journal posted August 5, 2013.

You will also find links to our Federal Representatives and Senate. The Representatives do not give email contact information, however, the Senate does. You should send them an email reminding them that they are elected officials chosen by the people.

 In the Michigan House it looks as if there will be a vote, possibly on Tuesday, regarding the Health Care Insurance Exchange. You can also send an email to our federal representatives telling them to defund “ObamaCare”. Congress has passed exemptions for themselves and their staff members due to the costs being extremely high. Despite their own concerns with the soon to be mandated health coverage, our representatives seem to be ignoring our legal right to choose and purchase what we want and when we want it.

Instead of helping the American public by decreasing healthcare costs, we instead can be punished with outrageous fines if we refuse, or are unable, to comply. We need to remind them that we are the people of the United States and that we are the deciding individuals and that they are elected to serve us and can be removed from their position if deemed unfit to continue representing us. It is time to remind those that see fit to no longer abide by the Constitution or pick and choose pieces of the Bill of Rights to enforce, who runs this country.

Campaign for Liberty Backs ‘Defund ObamaCare’ Effort

Megan Stiles

SPRINGFIELD, Virginia- Campaign for Liberty released the following statement from C4L President John Tate endorsing Senator Mike Lee’s (R-UT) efforts to add language to the Continuing Resolution completely defunding ObamaCare:

“It’s time for Congress to stand up for the American people, who do not want to see their health care costs increase and their quality of care decrease as a result of ObamaCare.  The upcoming debate on the Continuing Resolution provides an excellent opportunity to defund ObamaCare.

“Since each day brings more proof of the pain Americans will suffer as a result of this law, defunding it should be an easy ‘yes’ vote for any politician – Republican or Democrat. Campaign for Liberty is actively encouraging its members to make their voices heard loudly and clearly to their Representatives and Senators that they do not want ObamaCare.”

Protesters at Local Michigan Gun Show

Interesting things happening in Michigan tomorrow.

http://annarbor.com/news/saline/peaceful-demonstration-planned-outside-gun-show-near-saline-this-saturday/

I wonder how peaceful they are actually going to be.

We rebels will be out there recording and talking to these people to try and get an understanding of where they are coming from, and hopefully talking to some of the gun show visitors and vendors.

Tips to Thwart a Rapist. Are You F**king Kidding Me?

Recently the University of Colorado released some tips to avoid being raped. You’ve probably heard about this, but I was so pissed off by it that I had to cover it.

The university, which does not allow “weapons” like pocket knives, guns, any kind of metal knuckles oh and sling shots, suggests that women react passively to attackers and of course try to run away. Obviously if you can get away and run that’s the best bet. However, the most appalling suggestion made in this list was that a girl tell the attacker she has a disease or is on her period.  Right, because that’s going to stop a sick nutjob? And seriously tell him you have a disease? If some dude has just grabbed me and is intent on raping me I doubt my first reaction is going to be to yell “I am on my period!” or “I have the herp!!” Come on people.

I think worse and more degrading than suggesting women say they are on their period to avoid rape is the suggestion to vomit or urinate on an attacker. 

I don’t know about you but I can’t just vomit or pee on command. I am a woman not an animal capable of defecating myself when I am scared. Do these people really think that we can just vomit on cue? Unless I’ve been chomping down sweets and then decide to run a marathon before getting cornered by a rapist, I doubt I am gonna be able to vomit on him.

What gets me about this shit(and excuse my use of expletives but I am just so disgusted by this whole thing) is that there is always this push for empowerment and independence for women in our world today I’d really like to know how those tips factor into empowerment.

Why don’t we teach women how to actually protect themselves? Teach them how to fend off an attacker with basic skills and even with *gasp* guns. I think the likelihood of a potential rapist running off scared from me pulling out a handgun is greater than him running off when I scream I am on my period while stimulatingly trying to piss myself and vomit.

I dunno, what makes you feel safer girls?

Vomit or a bullet and some hand to hand defense training?

After some serious backlash the university did remove their “tips” and replaced it with this http://www.uccs.edu/pusafety/what-to-do-if-you-are-attacked-.html and apologized, but not specifically for suggesting we piss ourselves on command to avoid rape.
