Transparency was voted down by a vote of 12-11 in the Senate Finance Committee. They are trying to sneak it by and pass ObamaCare out of the Senate in middle of the night with no review by the American people!
Do the Democrats think we are not watching them?!
Please contact your Senator immediately - this cannot stand!
Some Blue Dogs need to be scalded
The story has already been removed by the Star Tribute. Cached story available here from the Star Tribute: Democrats reject GOP amendment to require health bill to be available online before vote Also discussed here by Michelle Malkin: Dems lied, transparency died: Senate Finance Committee nixes Obamacare online disclosure |
have just rejected a GOP amendment that would have required a health overhaul bill to be available online for 72 hours before the committee votesNice thing about health care reform is [self-editing comments which would give me a time-out, at least].
Let's be accurate...this would just pass it out of the Finance COMMITTEE, not out of the Senate. Presumably (?) they would have to mark up actual, legislative language before the whole Senate will vote on it. (Not that they will read it before voting.)
Sounds like Thomas Friedman was right - the left would prefer a China-style autocracy to our republic.
Oh, we’ve got to burn the phone lines up, jam the fax machines, and spew letters and telegrams like confetti on this one—to our congressional pukes, the leadership of both parties, the White House, and most, I say MOST OF ALL— the Phoney-Baloney Networks. Let them know in no uncertain terms that the kitchen lights have been turned on, and it’s time for the cockroaches to scurry into their dark, dank, stinking crevices to hide!!!!
Tell them:
“We know who you are, and what you’re doing, and we’re all talking about you!!!!”
Question: How often do Senate committees post online the full text (or the full “conceptual” language) of any bills they’re considering? While still at the committee level, that is.
Such is the resolve of this tyrannical government to destroy the individual rights of its citizens and make them subservient to the state.
We need to frog march these idiots OUT of the House and Senate!!!!
Passing a Shell of A Bill: Congress Secret Plan to Ram Through Health Care Reform
It’s like Glenn Beck said about a month ago, we have to cut the red wire every day - or everything will go to hell.
This is essentially a blank bill. To be filled AFTER IT BECOMES LAW!!!
It might as well say “everyone gets healthcare” the end.
There is no way this is Constitutional.
On GretaWire someone posted that a Finance Committee staffer privately admitted that they don’t want to release the bill because they want it passed.
This needs to be SHOUTED!!!
“Senate Dems vote to hide full text of ObamaCare online before vote”
Some resourceful Repulicans should introduce a law that “ignorance
of the law is no excuse” is NOT in effect when a law is not published
in full with public access at least five business days before the
final vote.
This act of the perfidious Democrats tell you all you need to know.
They are AFRAID of having their clap-trap legislation debated.
Or even letting this Frankenstein of a bill see the light of day
before they get it passed via “the nuclear option” of reconciliation.
No Worries!!!...Mitch is on the scene... (rolling eyes)
This affects nearly 20% of our economy. It affects us in a very personal way, as well as our family members.If we don’t fight and win on this one, the republic is lost I fear.
If they pass it, the real fight begins.
This is actually kind of fitting, since the people who voted for Obammie the Commie didn’t vote for any detailed plan, just a conceptual politician.
I hope they enjoy being conceptually used and conceptually misled. Those details that actually comprise the law can be pesky things.
Democrat health care concepts:
1. Everyone will get a bunch of stuff for free
2. It will cost taxpayers nothing
3. If you have good insurance now, it will get even better and it will cost you nothing.
4. Everything is gonna be just great
How do you vote?
This is the text of an email that I received from my cousin in Houston, Texas. I’m not sure where he got it. Please watch the videos and share with others.

This is one of the best things we have seen on Obamacare
The YouTube links below are Part 1 and 2 of a tape made by a cousin of friends of mine. He and his wife made the tape from their ranch in south central Texas .
At their own expense, they made 1000 copies and sent one to every single congressman and senator and some media outlets.
Let’s hope that each and every one of them watched and LISTENED!!!
