Hopefully my senator Lieberman will stick to his guns and filibuster the final vote on the current bill in the Senate so the ‘RATs won’t have the 60 votes for cloture. At the moment, I think this is our only hope... unless they try the nuclear option.

The Left is crowing about their "victory."

Here's the email that is going out to the Obama faction list:

----------

Dear xxxxxxxxxx:

Late last night, the United States House of Representatives passed their health care bill with a vote of 220 to 215.1

Click here to find out how your Member of Congress voted and thank them if they voted for health care for all of us.

History was made last night.


Never before in this country has the House of Representatives passed a comprehensive health care bill. The bill passed last night will guarantee us all quality, affordable health care. It will rein in insurance company abuses. And it will give us the choice of a public health insurance option.

A vote for this bill last night was a vote for the American people, for making health care a right. A vote against was a vote to continue to leave Americans' health and livelihoods at the mercy of the insurance industry.

Click here to find out how your Representative voted. If they voted for us, they deserve our thanks. If they voted against us, they deserve our outrage.


Your calls, faxes, and emails over the course of this campaign have brought us to this point. Members of Congress have told us they have heard you, and it is in large part due to your continued support that this bill passed the House of Representatives last night.

Like all bills, it was not perfect. We were particularly disappointed that 64 Democrats joined almost all the Republicans in voting to deny some women access to abortion services, which are a standard part of health insurance now. We will work, with your support, to fix this serious issue before the final bill is passed.2

With the House bill passed, the Senate now must pass a bill to move the process forward towards the day when health reform is the law of this land. We will be calling on you more than ever to make sure the Senate passes a bill that meets our principles for real health care reform.

We can win this fight together.


To your health,

 

Levana Layendecker
Health Care for America Now

Too bad there isn’t some way for a massive amount of voters to become residents of Pelosi’s district long enough to oust her. Then nobody would feel like they were in a “safe” district and could walk all over us.

“Not for TX breaking, but whatever it takes. And if it did happen it would not simply be TX.

Now. There is still the issue of the Senate vote and the Constitutional Challenge before extreme actions are in order.

If extreme measures are invoked, it will be at State or States level.”

If TX and other state attempt to leave, the Senate won’t pass, and even if it does it won’t matter. Again, civil war is the only real option. Remember this post when the bill is rammed through by the Senate and the Supreme Court does nothing.

Don’t forget that US sovereignty will be signed away in December also to the global warming communist.

Any thing is considered “ EXTREMIST “ in the Communist Marxist shadow government’s eyes, and that includes the US Constitution.

This bill will not be the trigger to what you describe. Cap & Trade might just provide such an action.

Both are suicide pills. We will not drink the Kool-Aid.

Does not look good, but divine providence could use this event for positive outcome.

Health care is NOT a right. A responsibility, yes. A right? No.
