Montgomery, Alabama - The Alabama Senate has passed legislation designed to the fight the federal health care plan.
The Senate voted 23-8 for a bill that would ensure that no person, employer or health care provider could be compelled to participate in any health care system.
The bill's sponsor, Republican Sen. Scott Beason of Gardendale, says it would help with the lawsuit that Alabama's attorney general and other state attorneys general have filed over the federal plan.
The Senate voted to cut off a filibuster by opponents before passing the Beason's bill.
It won't take effect unless approved by the House and by Alabama voters in a referendum in July.
This is probably the way for all of us to get around having this healthcare abomination pushed on us...
ON Tuesday, the TEA PARTY PEOPLE OF ALABAMA had a rally in Montgomery and the phones and emails have not stopped. YES! WE can win in November, but this takes work.
Are you guys and gal willing to work to take back our country?
Good for them!
Let's hope it doesn't come to this....
Guess I’m moving to Alabama huh?
Sweet Home!
“Although the Alabama Legislature is dominated by Democrats (with Democrats holding a 62-43 advantage in the House, and a 22-13 advantage in the Senate), the Legislature is considered one of the most conservative in the nation.”
This would indicate that the Republicans in the House would have to be joined by 10 Democrats.
Come on down...us rednecks only make you go barefoot 9 months of the year...
The house will be a much tougher nut to crack, but there is the advantage of this being an election year — as shown by even Far left liberal Congressman Artur Davis voting NO on ObamaCare.
The lefties won’t want to go against the chosen one, but they also know that thier seats are on the line if they do not let this go to the people of Alabama for a vote.
Also, this one is the BIG ONE in this battle — once on the ballot, we here in Alabama must pass this overwhelmingly — I am talking 75% or more. All the other states have done it through legislation and the Governor signing.
Here in Alabama this will be the PEOPLE saying to the entire nation, WE DO NOT WANT THIS!
Have to wear something on the feet, that toenial fungus is an unsightly thing.......
