Today, Senate Democrats in the Finance Committee rejected a
Republican move to require that the full text of the Baucus
government-controlled healthcare bill be posted for 72 hours
prior to a vote.
Democrats are fast-tracking the bill through committee,
insisting that Senators vote on the bill WITHOUT seeing
the actual language of the legislation.
In fact, Democrats were making their point by mocking those who
wanted to actually READ the bill before voting!
Sen. Kerry said, “Legislative language is relatively
arcane, very legalistic, and most people don’t read the
legislative language.”
THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS!
Especially since it is clear that ObamaCare is really nothing
more than a cover for a massive takeover of huge sectors of our
economy that transfers power to the Obama Administration!
Karen, I need you to take fast-action right now...

This is one of those seemingly minor Congressional actions that is actually VERY significant. Just NOW on Fox, Rep. John Boehner (R), House Minority Leader, was talking about how he could not believe the Democrats defeated this Amendment in the Senate. Boehner added that in the House, there's a group of Democrats and Republicans who are working together on a “Discharge Petition” to REQUIRE Nancy Pelosi to have a minimum 72-hour layover for any major spending Bill — for review by the American people. This would include ObamaCare. PLEASE spread the word that Congress — once again — is trying to RUSH the passage ObamaCare in the dark of night, just like they've done with other Bills. DID they NOT hear us loud and clear at the Town Halls? Contact the Senate and have the Amendment, which failed yesterday by a vote of 12-11, to be re-introduced for passage in the Senate Finance Committee. One Democrat voted with the Republicans — we need ONE MORE. Also, with the House, please contact your Representative to support Boehner's "Discharge Petition" so ANY Health Care Bill or large spending Bill will be available on the internet for public review at least 72 hours prior to a House vote. |
