Wow: Dozens of Democrats lining up against ObamaCare over … abortion ?
Hot Air ^ | July 22, 2009 | ALLAHPUNDIT

Posted on 07/22/2009 4:16:30 PM PDT by RobinMasters

The Standard counts no fewer than 53 Dems on record as having problems with the House bill, but so lopsided is the blue majority that the GOP would need to peel off 40 of them to block it. That’s not going to happen on Obama’s signature policy initiative. Assuming their objections are economic in nature, Pelosi will simply shower the fencesitters with legislative goodies until enough of them are willing to choke down ObamaCare.

But what if their objections are based on something more profound than economics?

Democratic Rep. Bart Stupak said he is “optimistic” that his campaign to include explicit language condemning the use of federal funds for abortion in the House health care bill will pass the House Energy and Commerce Committee. The congressman from Michigan did however say on today’s “Washington Unplugged” that the House will likley not vote on the bill before their July 31st deadline.

Great list and letter, but in the future could you please include phone numbers. Faxes & emails would be helpful too. Thanks for the hard work!

Be just as creative as the congressmonsters.

I made up 800 numbers as I went along.

When private insurers won’t be able to compete with a government-run plan, they’ll crash. Then the majority of Americans will simply end up with no choice: just one government-run program. And, with no alternatives, the government-run healthcare will be severely rationed to meet the budget.

This is what the liberals have wanted for years.

Good idea. I'm still working on it. By the way, the click-able congress-names ARE e-mail contacts. They link to the condtituents' e-mail message system.

I hope you didn't think the addresses were the congressman's addresses. They're not. They're "your" addresses ((((g)))) --- plausible addresses in residential neighborhoods in the congressmen's districts.

(I hope I am not being too obscure?)

I’ve been wondering lately if there is a paragigm shift that encompasses the conservative movement switching parties...

Although I appreciate the fact that it is stopping Obamacare now, I am REALLY worried that this is a negotiable item.
So if they take the abortion item out then these idiots will sign on to it?

That’s bad. it will only be added later.

This is shocking, I thought all the bastards hated the defenseless.

Why do they oppose deregulation of the firearm and ammunition markets then?””

Well, when they roundup our weapons, they will hate us too because we will be defenseless.

LOL!

I recalled your Hillary .gifs and wondered if I could use it at right as the starter - it can be centered now if under 980 or 100% width

But the Hillary gif is in terrible shape now. Note how clear and sharp my gif outlines are - I spend hours cleaning them up. Hillary needs redone.

I think I can safely say that I value my life more than I honor their [perceived] authority to disarm me.
