<description> Subject: DO NOT GIVE UP! Senate Watch TONIGHT with NATIONWIDE Virtual Vigil Greetings Patriots,It is five days before Christmas and it looks as if the Scrooges in DC aren&#x26;#x27;t packing it up and going home.&#x26;#xA0; Instead, they have decided to call Ba-humbug and pass this legislation that 61% of Americans do not support.&#x26;#xA0; This past week, even Howard Dean came out and said it was not good for this country because it is a bailout for big insurance companies.&#x26;#xA0; On Thursday, MoveOn.org sent a message to their members that they do not want the legislation passed either and that...</description>

<title>Senate Democrats seek to seal health care overhaul [VOTE at 1:00AM MONDAY]</title>
<link>http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2411610/posts</link>
<description>(AP) &#x26;#x96; 9 minutes ago WASHINGTON &#x26;#x97; Outnumbered Republicans are pledging to delay passage of historic health care legislation as long as possible after jubilant Democrats locked in Nebraska Sen. Ben Nelson as the 60th and decisive vote. Nelson&#x26;#x27;s backing puts President Barack Obama&#x26;#x27;s signature issue firmly on a path for Christmas Eve passage. Democrats will need to show 60 votes on two additional occasions, with the next &#x26;#x97; and most critical &#x26;#x97; test vote set for about 1 a.m. Monday. </description>
