Interesting that whenever one of these “deals” goes down, the group making the agreement are referred to as a “gang”. We need a gang task force.

Let him know we don’t want Obama DeathCare.

Say no to Obama’s DeathCare.

Send a message; DON’T MESS WITH TEXAS healthcare!

No! NO you don’t, you muzzie pos. You’re not denying our seniors deserved health care while insuring millions of illegal aliens and while Demorats are REJECTING Obamacare for themselves and their families!

Dear Governor Perry,

On March 30, 2009 the Texas House of Representatives passed HCR 50 affirming that the State of Texas claims sovereignty under the Tenth Amendment.

You have publicly supported this bill, and stated that attorney generals from all over the union could be getting ready to sue the US Government.

We are asking you to take the lead.

We are asking you to order the Texas Attorney General to publicly begin working on a law suit under Article IV, Ninth, and Tenth Amendment of the Constitution.

We are asking you to protect the citizens of Texas that we will not stand for government controlled healthcare in our state.

Under your leadership we can effectively kill the proposal of this administration and allow Texas to be a state free from socialism and collectivism.

Be the voice of reason in the national debate and allow Texans the ability to solve the problems of our state.

Thank you,

(Signature Date)

Facts about the 10th Amendment:

The Tenth Amendment (Amendment X) of the United States Constitution, which is part of the Bill of Rights, was ratified on December 15, 1791. The Tenth Amendment restates the Constitution’s principle of Federalism by providing that powers not granted to the national government nor prohibited to the states are reserved to the states or the people.

HCR 50 HAS PASSED THE HOUSE 99-36!
Affirming that the State of Texas claims sovereignty under the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States over all powers not otherwise enumerated and granted to the federal government by the U.S. Constitution, serving notice to the federal government to cease and desist certain mandates, and providing that certain federal legislation be prohibited or repealed.

Take Action! Before it is too late!

Sen. Olympia Snowe (R-Maine) would not say whether she will support the bill, or even if she is willing to be the only Repuplican to do so.

In other words, she's going to hold out as long as she can, to hog as much of the spotlight.....

....before she signs the bill.

Cripes, I wonder why these idiots even bother. This @#$@%$ was scripted months ago.

It’s time, we have to revolt if they ram this through. We refuse to participate, we file class action lawsuits when they try to get our private medical records that we have paid for, whatever it takes.

It’s pretty frustrating to watch politicians ripping our freedom from us as if our lives belong to them.

“I guess trying really hard is all that matters. Doesn’t matter what kind of garbage comes out of that effort.”

And..so WHAT if they work real hard? I’ve been doing it for almost 50 years and it hasn’t killed me yet...

The RNC should disband it they can not keep party folks in line on critical votes.

No RNC $$$$ from me, I’ll go directly to the candidate, like Representative Joe Wilson. Thanks Joe for saying what millions of Americans already knew.

Obama Bin Lyin doesn't care what the HUGE MAJORITY of the people think nor does Pelosi, Reid & the rest of the marxists.

They will, come next years elections, cause most of them that are up for re-election will be gone! They have all forgotten they are supposed to work FOR THE PEOPLE!

I wouldn't be surprised by riots in the streets if this passes!!

Snowe will find herself to the left of AT LEAST 12 dims in the Senate.

First, the bill will go down in flames, then Snowe.

Hit them where it hurts .... W-2 riots and refusal to play the game.

The time is coming where we are going to have to decide if our middle class surburban lifestyles mean more to us than our principles and our freedoms. The left is playing for blood and gold. We're not ready to go toe to toe at this point.

“Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) is pushing for a five-year grace period before legal immigrants can be deemed eligible.”

Should leave no doubt as to where these old mossbacks true allegiance lies.

When has a RINO ever been punished by the Party Leadership, for jumping ship? Not in my memory, of course I am young yet.

The bipartisan Gang of Six, which has been meeting for months, could gather for the last time Monday... Sen. Olympia Snowe (R-Maine) would not say whether she will support the bill, or even if she is willing to be the only Republican to do so.
See, bipartisan means "one Republican". The Congress is bipartisan too. /sarc
