A no stimulus petition has been placed online for those that are against the president's stimulus plan in its current form. Right now support is fading from many and now seemingly with every hour support erodes. A Rasmussen poll had only 37% supporting the plan over the weekend. It is so bad that President Barack Obama is now back on the stump with Air Force One holding Town hall style meetings begging for support of the $800 billion plus plan.

The bipartisanship that was once promised has eroded in record time and "Count us Out" claims that the three GOP Senators that have signed on to the massive spending plan are facing a backlash. All three are deal making moderates but the party seems fed up.


Tim Collie writes, "Three liberal Republican senators — Sens. Susan Collins and Olympia Snowe of Maine, and Pennsylvania’s Sen. Arlen Specter — who pledged their support this weekend to President Barack Obama’s massive stimulus bill — are drawing the wrath of many conservatives."

Continuing with more here, "As news filtered through the media that a “deal” had been cut with the defecting GOP Senators — giving Democrats the 60-plus votes they need to overcome a Republican filibuster — Republican officials and pundits expressed outrage."
