You can bet he's already made up his mind; this statement is pure political CYA.
“encouraged by what I heard.”
AGAIN, NO ONE READ THE BILL!
ALL WRAPPED UP IN A PRETTY PACKAGE BUT THE SAME OL CRAP INSIDE, what an idiot!
“Carney insisted he was for health care reform. But he needed to see certain provisions in order to support such a bill. Among those he’s specifically identified were no funding for abortion on demand; no coverage for illegal immigrants...”
Folks, if you live in Carney’s district, mail or email in a copy of this CRS report to show that the public is AWARE that the Library of Congress states HR 3200 covers illegal aliens. If Carney gets flooded with these, he will have to be very careful in how he votes and can’t pretend he didn’t know. He is also one of the most vulnerable Dem congressmen (has a strongly GOP district) and knows he could be one of the first representatives to lose his seat next year.
