Ronald Reagan Speaks Out Against Socialized Medicine
But don't do it to the illegals, it's soooo immoral.
Hey, look—Hussein has a Hamas boyfriend.
The GIVE Act’ H.R.1388 — “To reauthorize and reform the national service laws” — was introduced March 9 by Rep. Carolyn McCarthy (N.Y.) with 12 co-sponsors (Rep. Raul Grijalva (D-Ariz.), Del. Gregorio Sablan (I-MP), Rep. Phil Hare (D-Ill.), Rep. Paul Tonko (D-N.Y.), Rep. Robert Andrews (D-N.J.), Rep. Dale Kildee (D-Mich.), Rep. Joe Sestak (D-Penn.), Rep. Joe Courtney (D-Conn.), Rep. Rubén Hinojosa (D-Texas), Rep. Jared Polis (D-Colo.), Rep. George Miller (D-Calif.) and Rep. Mazie Hirono (D-Hawaii)).
It should come as no surprise to RBO readers that four of the original co-sponsors (33%) — Grijalva, Hare, Hirono, and Miller — are current members of the Congressional Progressive Caucus; Grijalva is CPC co-chair.
There are 25 co-sponsors, eight more of which are also CPC members: Rep. Chaka Fattah (D-Penn.); Rep. Yvette Clarke (D-N.Y.); Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio), CPC vice chair; Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-N.Y.); Rep. Donald Payne (D-N.J.); Rep. Charles Rangel (D-N.Y.); Rep. Peter Welch (D-Vt.); and Rep. Lynne Woolsey (D-Calif.), CPC co-chair.
You can almost expect more of the same 2002 crowd from the Congressional Progressive Caucus to sign on: Rep. James McGovern (D-Mass.); Rep. Danny Davis (D-Ill.); Rep. John Tierney (D-Mass.); Rep. Rosa DaLauro (D-Conn.) — or others who have taken the place of former CPC members. http://cpc.grijalva.house.gov/index.cfm?ContentID=166&ParentID=0&SectionID=4&SectionTree=4&lnk=b&ItemID=164
The bill appears to be on the House vote fast track. “Because representatives of the House, Senate and White House have been working together on a bipartisan basis for weeks, the skids are now greased for quick Senate passage of the Kennedy-Hatch Act for national service, the only specific piece of legislation the president mentioned in his address to Congress last month. Differences between the House and Senate versions will be minor.”
Not only that, three guesses as to the membership of the Education and Labor Committee. Here’s a clue — Miller is Committee Chair. The others? Andrews, Clarke, Grijalva, Hare, Hinojosa, Hirono, Kildee, McCarthy, Payne, Polis, Sestak, Tierney, Tonko, and Woolsey.
There are three more co-sponsors who are not members of the Congressional Progressive Caucus — but are members of the Education and Labor Committee: Rep. Rush D. Holt (D-N.J.); Rep. Gregorio Sablan (MP); Rep. Carol Shea-Porter (D-N.H.).
Want to take any bets against this bill passing in the House? Any takers?
So. What’s the big deal? What’s this all about?
Let’s look at what the blogosphere has to say:
Thanks for the ping.

I’m still stuck on “How did “we” elect Obama?
It could only have happened with full co-operation from the Republican carpetbaggers.

Their a bunch of Che loving communist
The Leftist claim to compassion always was a con job used as a weapon by the to build the size of government while exacerbating the problems that it claims to solve. — Government compassion does not target the needy, but instead leads to state control of everyone’s education, health care, and retirement security. In Thomas Sowell’s phrase, “The left uses the poor as human shields.
LOL.
Funded in the billions now by your income taxes by Congress and Hussein II”
Can you give me a link that explains this?

You must watch Fox New Channel and/or listen to Rush and Sean - the exposure was impossible to miss
Billions directed towards “community organizers” were allocated in the latest bailout bill passed by Congress and signed by Hussein II

Can we wake up and organize in time? Perhaps the Glenn Beck link in the article may do it.

Be Ever Vigilant!
When you look at the language of the bill closely,it gets even more interesting.The bill specifically mentions possibilities if "all individuals in the United States were expected to perform national service or were required to perform a certain amount of national service." If these requirements were made mandatory, the bill says it "would strengthen the social fabric of the Nation and overcome civic challenges by bringing together people from diverse economic, ethnic, and educational backgrounds." And it mentions "The means to develop awareness of national service and volunteer opportunities at a young age by creating, expanding, and promoting service options for elementary and secondary school students, through service learning or other means, and by raising awareness of existing incentives."
