Following the mad recommendations of Peter Singer made in NYT's Sunday magazine, it pays to take a look at what is actually in the healthcare bill.

” For that, I can handle the texting style.”
I had no idea where the illiterate writing was coming from but now i’m extremely happy that we have texting blocked on our phones!
Does anyone know if this piece has been translated from “textSpeak” into English yet? I wanted to send this to my mother-in-law and a few other senior relatives, but they’ll never understand the textSpeak... thanks.
THANK YOU for translating this piece from Twitter to English! Now I can forward it to my mother-in-law, elderly uncle and others on my e-mail list who would never get beyond the TwitterSpeak. Thank you so much! :o)
>I just fondly recall the days, when being a Democrat didn’t automatically mean you were anti-America. <
And i can tell you exactly why you are 100% right. Although you may already know, I’ll state it for those who may not.
History 101 - the short explanation:
Years ago things were reversed. Democrats were smaller govt repubs were about helping the people at the cost of the nation.
(Jump ahead)
It slowly changed. When several democrats thought that helping people at the expense of taxpayers was good, socialists joined the party.
(Jump ahead)
Socialist knowing that they could not get elected as socialists, left the socialist party and joined the democrats. Slowly the democratic party has turned in to the socialist party by another name.
Older democrats who were die hard in their beliefs like we conservatives are now, refuse to believe that their party has transformed. Therefore they vote on a party line and accept any ridicule of the policies coming out as propaganda of anti-american’s. (mush as we do now)
In closing, when we get older, let us not forget that each individual needs to be examined based upon who they are, what they support and what they do rather than just a party line.
Thanks for the reply Bruce.
Would that make me the fifth person in America who has seen them?
All claiming to be pitching something better have been colossal failures, because the general public is largely unaware of any such.
You’re welcome. I needed it in plain English to hand out to people at Sunday School and at my dialysis clinic. I am going to give them an EARFUL!!
If you look at post 394 the first 1001 pages are de-twitterized and put in numerical order. Have fun!
Yeah, pretty much.
It's loading a 1,017-page PDF file. Might take a while.
You are very right about that. He’s simply another Race Pimp. He went so far as to Prove it a few days ago with the Professor fiasco. What an awful man.
Incidentally, a man that we have known for well over 30 years often really “hears” from the Lord. Recently he received a message, short but certainly to the point. It simply said:. From Helmut Hemmerling: Early this morning, Saturday, the Lord spoke to me and said: “Do not trust Barack Obama”, The American people have made Lies their Refuge” “Obama says what he wants and does what he wants”.
That was the message but it sure witnessed to my Spirit.
Keep the faith and take care friend. CO
This is one area tho that I think Obozo will continue to force. For some reason, he WANTS and he DEMANDS that this Healthcare bill be forced through before the August break.
As I see it, it seems to be only the Demonrats whose seats may be in jeopardy that are refusing to sign on right now. Oboma and Pelosi and Emmanuel etc. are such brutal THUGS that they will get their way one way or the other. Oboma has become so full of himself and more so each and every day that he thinks he can make folks do anything he demands. The thug needs to be absolutely FORCED even forcefully out of power NOW. Waiting is going to be the worst thing that could possibly be done. There will be no turning back if he and his henchmen take over much more of American’s lives. CO
he will never give up. If not before the break then after. If not this year then next.
This is a fight we can not let up on because he won’t.
We can accept NO concessions, once they have their foot in the door we have lost the house.

PING YOUR PEEPS!
Blistering grassroots pressure appears to have forced Sen.
Majority Leader Harry Reid to seek some emergency relief by
announcing there would be no health care vote until after
the August recess.
But is it really good news?
Any delay is good, but Reid’s actions are little more than
political misdirection—a ploy to release some of the built
up pressure while the “dirty details” of ObamaCare can be
worked out and tidied up in the Senate Finance Committee.
Reid’s carefully calculated actions prove to me that we
are making a powerful—even historic impact! Imagine
the day after day deluge of petitions, faxes, phone
calls pummeling the Energy and Commerce committee—with
no end in sight!
Keith, we are overwhelming lawmakers.
With Obama breathing down his back demanding he get this done,
Reid had to do something to neutralize us. But that’s precisely
why we can’t fall for his “pressure release ploy.”
No, it’s paramount that we not allow Reid to silence us.
With ObamaCare now being worked on in the Senate Finance Committee,
I want to overwhelm them with a tsunami of protest from grassroots
Americans who refuse to allow the federal government to increase
their control over us by co-opting our health care system.
++ EMERGENCY Petition Delivery Wednesday!
Last week we directed petitions to multiple targets.
On Wednesday they will be delivered to the Senate Finance committee—
demonstrating to Reid and everyone else that
WE WILL NOT GO AWAY. WE WILL NOT BE SILENCED!
I’m asking ALL members of our team to help me rally an additional
50,000 citizen signers this weekend to help maximize our Wednesday
delivery by pushing us past the 300,000 mark!
Forward this message to 30-40 friends and family. Inform them
about Reid’s “pressure release ploy” and underscore to each the
importance of taking immediate action by signing our petition
and having a real voice in this unfolding and historic debate.

As the sordid details of ObamaCare leak out to the public it’s
becoming increasingly clear the true intent of this plan is to
exercise more control over the citizens of our nation.
Take immediate action with me by rallying your friends and family
today so that I can include them in our next delivery to Capitol
Hill this coming Wednesday!
Again, thank you in advance for your incredible support.
Steve Elliott, President
Grassfire.org
P.S: It’s the ObamaCare chart Democrats don’t want you to see.
In fact, they have outrageously refused Republicans to send it
out to their constituents! We have the chart, and we urge you
to take a close look. After review, we’re pretty certain you’ll
understand why Democrats don’t want it going out to the
American public!

Thanks so much again, TAC! :o)
Your comments were right on!! I have done some news letters and sent them to my available people in my mail box.I used the comments by fleckman to adress a given amount of items trying to be as brief as possable as not to overwhelm everybody.I have called and written my Reps in Washington and some I wrote because I think they can help defeat this mockery of the American dream!!!I have spent alot of time doing this but if we the American people roll over for this so called Health Care Bill it will be a long WINTER in Siberia!!!! Thanks, A American Patriot this
