Baird and Boccieri are switches.
Folks, we all need to understand that we no longer live in a representative democratic republic. This malignant government has been allowed to grow so powerful and so wealthy for so long, that they have now successfully created a protected political ruling class, and BOTH the Dems and the GOP are part of this superclass. They’re not going to give it up.
It doesn’t matter if some of the Dems get voted out in November after they pass Obamacare. They’ll take one for the team and they’ll be rewarded with safe positions in the government bureaucracy.
Our vote no longer really matters. This will not be repealed once enacted. We’re watching the literal destruction of our nation and our own enslavement unfold before our very eyes.
Isn’t CLYBURN the HouseNIC? How else do you keep them down on the Dem. Plantation unless you have one?
How many of these “yes” votes are really just to get the arm twisting to stop and to get this to a floor vote so that it can be killed? How many are saying yes and will switch to no at the time of the vote? Pelosi will not bring this to the floor until she thinks that she has the votes to pass, so people should not panic when that time comes.

Q: Don’t abortion opponents have other concerns about the bill?
A: A major one has to do with $11 billion that Obama wants to pump into community health centers serving low-income people and the uninsured.
As the bill is currently written, those funds are not explicitly covered by the Hyde amendment.
White House health overhaul spokeswoman Linda Douglass says Obama is willing to clarify the language.
(So $10 billion is going to Vermont for “community health centers.” Does this mean American taxpayers will be funding abortions ONLY in Vermont?)
The public option is back in...
They are going for the House bill in reconciliation, it appears so.
Sending out another round of blast emails to my congressmen.
Have tried for the last hour+ to get faxes through to Altmire, Boccieri and Bart Gordon - no dice.
Also called all three, and the lines were busy, except for Altmire but the staff didn’t pick up and let it go to voicemail (twice), and the mailbox was FULL, and couldn’t take my message.
Finally got through to one of Bart Gordon’s staffers and gave him a piece of my mind.
Methinks they are getting an earful...whether they listen to the will of the American people, only God knows.
The only way for washington to listen to the people is to march on washington and i mean millions upon millions!!!
WE THE PEOPLE DO NOT WANT THIS HEALTH CARE BILL!!!
Hannity says Altmire’s office called and said he hasn’t made up his mind.
The American populace has a penchant for blood lust whenever someone flips them the bird, and tells them to FOAD.
I truly believe the Dem/RINO Leftist bastards up for election this year will all be tossed quite unceremoniously in November, and anything they do prior will be scuttled.
What they are doing is after all illegal, and will not stand.
Folks,
Republicans can easily destroy the “health care reform” bill right now; if they will but repeatedly and emphatically declare:
IT WILL KILL OUR STRUGGLING ECONOMY.
If every prominent Republican who attends a presser or gives an interview emphasizes that one crystallized point; the political pressure and citizenry push-back against wavering Democrats in the House will be enormous and irresistible.
ECONOMY KILLER equals JOBS KILLER. And the case can easily and succinctly be made that this new, massively unfunded entitlement will require massive new taxes while hobbling the medical industry. That’s obviously an economy killer. As unpopular as this piece of crap bill is, it can immediately be made much more so with simple clarion emphasis regarding its destructiveness to the American economy.
The American people already hate what the bill stands for (the rotten substance of the bill) as well as they hate the corrupt process that has produced it. Now it needs to be branded into the national psyche that the bill will obviously cause long-term, personal financial harm for everyone. - If Republicans will simply apply massive pressure to this one point (using the new CBO numbers on the “reconciliation / fix it” bill as a new cause for alarm), that would end the ball game. There is no way Pelosi can secure wavering votes in the House if the Republicans concentrate primarily on driving home the message that this bill is toxic to our ailing economy.
“If the Health Care Takeover Bill becomes law, it will make our bad recession much worse.”
“Clyburn reports four Congressional ‘No’ votes convert to ‘Yes’”
Imagine the news cycle spinning going on RIGHT NOW - at least through the end of this week.

Code Red” - House Target List on Health Care
The National Republican Congressional Committee has published a target list on health care. In addition to continuing to contact the five Tennessee Democrat Congressmen, you can go http://www.votervoice.net/link/clickthrough/ext/94697.aspx to contact some of these targets. Much of the talk following Obama’s announcement has focused on how to defeat this second bill through reconciliation, but that is misleading because the first step to defeating Obamacare is not by concentrating on defeating the “fixer” bill but by defeating the Senate bill in the House when it goes to the floor for an up-or-down vote on Thursday, March 18th.

On the Bubble (Major developments from the “yes” and “no” columns in the House)

Congressional Dems on Twitter

And here are toll-free numbers we can use to call any Senators or Reps.
At the first number below you must wait through a tape recording urging you to tell your Rep or Senator to vote “yes” for the health care bill. Just hang on and when the recording is over, you will get the Capitol operator. Just ask for your Rep or Senator’s office. Then you will either talk to an aid or have the chance to leave a message for him/her to vote NO on the health care bill.
When you use the second number and the Capitol operator comes on, just ask for your Rep or Senator’s office. Every time I use this number I get the Rep or Senator’s answer machine, so it may be set up that way all the time...to go to their answer machine. Either way you can leave a message to vote NO on the health care bill!
We need to use these toll free numbers that have been set up for the health care/ BO supporters and illegals to use! After all they are FREE!
1-800-828-0498 , 1-866-220-0044, 1-866-338-1015, 877-851-6437, 877-210-5351
We deserve what we get now for nobody standing up to tell the government ‘no’ in 1934.
We deserve all the government we’ve allowed to expand.
Clyburn’s blowing smoke. Next you’ll hear that opponents shouldn’t even bother to show up for the vote since it’s a done deal. If they had the votes today, they’d pass it today.
At least one of the 4 has come out saying he is not a yes, not yet. Still undecided. The other three mqy not be either. GOP should call for a vote, NOW, put up or shut up, we have been talking about this for a year, vote now or go away!
I am equally as outraged by Clyburn saying on air, we are creating an “inalienable right” to health care. WHO DOES HE THINK THEY ARE?? I have news for them, Congress does not CREATE rights, they come from God, which is the meaning of inalienable. You democrats ARE NOT GOD!
