You Posted, "Personally, I feel so helpless. Am I alone?

No, you are not alone. There are many of us who feel our country is spiraling out of control. We are sad and scared for what the future will bring. Even though it seems that we the people have no national voice anymore. we still have web sites like Free Republic, and we have the conservative talk radio voices to get our message out. We have to pray that these entities are not taken away from us.

As I’ve said many times, if only the Republicans had been this “arrogant” when they controlled Congress. Things would be so different.

Michael Steele should be on TV with ads pointing out all the dem tricks and turning the tide against it right now. We are reacting rather than being on offense.

Where was he on the cap and tax bill? Were there any ads? I don’t see much TV.

Did anyone REALLY think the Dems would conduct business differently just because Zero said they would?

These people lie as a matter of course.

The RNC was too busy crying and moaning that ABC slammed the door on their faces right before the health care town hall.

If God grants us favor and she is eventually brought up on charges, I would love to see her jury afforded the same consideration.

Pelosi Won't Give Public a Week to Review Text of Health-Care Bill Before House Votes on It .... Pelosi would not commit to giving the public a week to review the bill, and did not respond to the question of having the CBO report on the cost of the final bill.

Well .. it is hard 'to give a week for review ' when 300 pages are slipped into a Bill a few hours it's to be voted on.
(can you say, 'HR 2454', boys and girls?)

A FANTASY: Republican leaders launch a large and well-funded media and publicity campaign to enact a law DEMANDING that all legislation be up on the web for 10 legislative days BEFORE DEBATE.

Make the speaker and the senate majority leader work to schedule their bills and amendments around this necessity, spreading the adoption process over several weeks and not 72 hours or less on unread bills.

Pelosi’s response:

“awww...no...we can’t do that. If we gave everyone time to think about and understand what they were voting on, they might vote against it. Since that is not the outcome we want, we will not give anyone any time to read the bill.”

In all seriousness, and I hesitate to use this phrase, there should be a law that requires bills to have 15-30 days for public / representative / senator review before they are allowed to come to vote. This whole “write a 1200 page bill, vote the next day..rush rush rush” farcical comedy needs to end.

Can we sue to force them to give us time to review it?

No one is alone if WE ALL WORK TOGETHER and ACT! Go to http://www.clerk.house.gov/member_info/mcapdir.html for a copy of the list of members of the House Of Representatives, containing names, states, districts,phone numbers. Then, go to their web sites and get their local phone numbers and fax access. Do the same for senators. AND THEN HIT THEM WITH CALLS AND FAXES AND MAKE YOUR DISPLEASURE KNOWN. GET IN THEIR FACE AND TELL THEM THEY WILL BE OUT OF A JOB IF THEY IGNORE THE VOICE OF THE PEOPLE WHO SAY NO! DEMOCRATS FIGHT DIRTY AND REPUBLICANS HAD BETTER GROW A PAIR AND DO THE SAME. OBAMA AND HIS MINIONS ARE THUGS, LIARS, SOCIALISTS. FIGHT THEM LIKE YOUR LIFE DEPENDS UPON IT...’CAUSE IT DOES!
