..."until they try it." (The Green Eggs and Ham of ObamaCare).
If Schumer (D) thinks that Cruz shouldn't knock "it" (ObamaCare) until he tried it then what Schumer thinks is good fot Sen. Ted Cruz, will be good for ALL federal employeese to try...ala what Rand Paul has proposed.
Bad word choices...Thanks Chuckie....
Cruz IS a fed employee, right.
Gotta love Rand Paul’s proposal!
From Senator Pat Roberts:
Congress approved and the President signed into law two bills, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (P.L. 111-148) and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act (P.L. 111-152). Together, these bills comprise the new health care reform law. Because they did not meet my principles for reform, and because they were opposed by a clear majority of Kansans and Americans, I voted against them. I’m deeply disappointed in the Supreme Court’s decision to keep Obamacare in place.
Because of this I support efforts to defund Obamacare. I have recently signed Senator Lee’s letter to defund Obamacare. I am also a cosponsor of the legislation to defund Obamacare introduced by Senator Cruz. Likewise, I have supported past efforts to defund Obamacare such as the Cruz amendment to the Budget earlier this year. I have also introduced legislation to ensure the American people do not suffer when this train wreck fails as we always knew it would. The Exchange Sunset Act (S. 1272) would sunset the exchanges and the individual mandate if they are not ready to enroll by October 1, 2013 as the President has promised. I introduced this legislation because we know the Obama Administration won’t have the exchanges ready by the October 1 deadline as directed.
That hypocritical schmuck. If you want to try “it,” Chuckie, then repeal the Obama regulation to supplement Congress’ health plan. Try the real thing like the rest of us have to.
Fine. Require all Federal Employees to go on the exchanges, or shut down the government.
Hey Chuckles the Clown, Does that also include the IRS Employees Union that is demanding a waiver even though they are the enforcement part of this or Jimmy Hoffa’s AFL-CIO?
Keep talking Chuckles!
Just before the reform procedural vote in the US Senate, Judiciary Committee member Sen Grassley offered a simple amendment to the Judiciary Committee considering voting the immigration bill out of commmittee.
"The secretary (of homeland security) may not grant registered provisional immigrant status to an alien under this section unless the alien fully discloses to the secretary all the names and Social Security account numbers that the alien has ever used to obtain employment in the United States," said Grassley's amendment.
Grassley's amendment would not have prohibited illegal aliens from being converted into legal aliens just because they had used names and Social Security numbers that did not belong to them. It would only have required that the illegal aliens make the names and numbers they used known to DHS before they could be granted the right to legally live in the United States.
Grassley said, "Congress should not thumb its nose at the millions of Americans who are victims of identity theft, often perpetrated by an undocumented person who steals Social Security numbers to get jobs, govt benefits, driver's licenses and more. This amendment will simply require the person applying for RPI status to disclose any previously used Social Security numbers," said Grassley. "It's the first step to helping clean up the mess that's been created for the victim of identity theft. The amendment also authorizes certain federal agencies, upon receipt of this information, to notify individuals who were the victims."
===============================================
ON RECORD AS AIDING AND AETTING FELONIES Ranking member Sen Schumer dismissed Grassley's proposal. "When people are living in undocumented status, there are times, I suppose, when they've made up identities, made up Social Security numbers," Schumer told his Judiciary Committee colleagues. "How are they going to remember all that, and are we going to delay RPI status? "(The) purpose of this bill is to bring people out of the shadows. We all know when they lived in the shadows, they had to forge documents, forge Social Security numbers, et cetera. I just don't see how, when you've lived here 10 years, and you've had many different identities, many different numbers, you're going to remember them all," said Schumer.
==========================================
The Senate Judiciary committee defeated Grassley's amendment 8 to 10 on a party-line vote.
=======================================
ACTION ALERT Freepers should mobolize locally--get grand juries to begin indicting these Senators for FAILING TO UPHOLD THE LAW AGAINST FELONIES. A few convictions and imprisonment oughta wake up the treasonous Congress. KEEP IN MIND---those elected to office are held to a higher standard of law than we peons....but have never been held to account.
