When PG got his federally delivered mail today, there was a letter for his brother, GP. The yellow envelope was from The Republican National Committee, and contained the “2009 Obama Agenda Survey”. A bold warning in the corner said “DO NOT DESTROY”. The postage corner says “non profit organization.
Inside is a letter from the RNC, Michael Steele Chairman, dated “Monday Morning”. It seems as though the survey questionnaire is registered, and the answers will be known to the RNC. “You know that the liberal media elites and the Obama-Democrats are hoping you will put this letter down and do nothing”. The phrase “Obama Democrats” is used liberally.
At the top of page three, we find out that “one thing Obama and the Democrats have is lots of money”. As could be predicted, the Rebublicans want money as well. The last part of the survey is a form for donating money, either by check, credit card, or internet. It is helpfully noted that contributions from corporations or foreign nationals are prohibited.
As a public service, this blog is going to reproduce the questionnaire of the 2009 Obama Agenda Survey. The fifteen statements were followed by three options, yes, no, and no opinion.
01- Do you agree with Barack Obama’s budget plan that will lead to a $23.1 trillion national debt over the next ten years?
02- Do you believe the federal government has gone too far in bailing out failing banks, insurance companies and the auto industry?
03- Do you support amnesty for illegal immigrants?
04- Should English be the official language of the United States?
05- Are you in favor of granting retroactive Social Security eligibility to illegal immigrants who gain U.S. citizenship through an amnesty program?
06- Are you in favor of the expanded welfare benefits and unlimited eligibility (no time, education or work requirements) that Democrats in Congress are pushing to pass?
07- Do you believe that Barack Obama’s nominees for federal courts should be immediately and unquestionably approved for their lifetime appointments by the U.S. Senate?
08- Do you believe that the best way to increase the quality and effectiveness of public education in the U.S. is to rapidly expand federal funding while eliminating performance standards and accountability?
09- Do you support the creation of a national health insurance plan that would be administered by bureaucrats in Washington, D.C.?
10- Do you believe that the quality and availability of healthcare will increase if the federal government dictates pricing to doctors and hospitals?
11- Are you confident that new medicines and medical treatments will continue to be developed if the federal government controls prescription drug prices and sets profit margins for research and pharmaceutical companies?
12- Are you in favor of creating a government-funded “Citizen Volunteer Corps” that would pay young people to do work now done by churches and charities, earning Corps Members the same pay and benefits given to military veterans?
13- Are you in favor of reinstituting the military draft, as Democrats in Congress have proposed?
14- Do you believe that the federal government should allow the unionization of Department of Homeland Security employees who serve in positions critical to the safety and security of our nation?
15- Do you support Democrats’ drive to eliminate workers’ right to a private ballot when considering unionization of their place of employment?
