Jeffrey Denounces Pelosi-care

GREENVILLE/SPARTANBURG, SC -- Christina Jeffrey, Republican candidate for Congress in South Carolina’s 4th Congressional District (Greenville/Spartanburg), today thanked the Republican delegation for voting against the Health Care Bill which passed the House with 119 Democrats voting “yes” while 39 brave Democrats defied the Speaker and voted “no”. 176 Republicans voted “no” and one voted “yes”.

Dr. Jeffrey observed that:

“The bill passed last night will cause the typical family of 4 with $105,000 per year in income will spend 20% of its pre-tax income on medical care. An individual making $44,000 per year will spend over 17% on health care. There are serious penalties in the the bill for not buying health insurance but these do not apply to illegal immigrants. Legal immigrants will have to pay. This is just one more incentive to come to the United States illegally.

“There are huge Constitutional questions raised by this bill. The most fundamental is this one: where in the Constitution does Congress get the authority to make us buy anything? Every member takes an oath to uphold the Constitution, not punt all hard questions over to the Supreme Court. When members of the House votes for a bill knowing there is no authority in the Constitution that permits passage, they violate their oath. In 2010, we should fire them and replace them with honest men and women who will not betray our Constitution and our freedom.

Christina Jeffrey announced her candidacy earlier this year. She is committed to restoring respect for the United States Constitution, decentralized government, states’ rights, and individual liberty. For more information, see www.JeffreyforCongress.com.

We need to hear from a bunch of like minded conservatives from every State

[KrisKrinkle]

Has anyone heard of any plans to take this mess to the Courts if it does get passed?

Thats right and it works as a slogan, call these red commie sons of bitches "Oath Violators" and call them that frequently and at the drop of a hat.

Tired of these communists with their sloganeering and PR propaganda, the least the incompetents at the RNC could do is come back with a retort to "The Party of No"; "Oath Violators" works great.

[EternalVigilance]

We’re working on it.

Calling Mark Levin and Judge Napolitano. Class action suit filed NOW against the traitors in the US Congress by We The People.

Recall petitions in every district based on treason.

The following members of Congress are Marxists who have rebranded themselves as “Progressives” in an attempt to hide their agenda

Nancy Pelosi was one of the original members of the “Congressional Progressive Caucus” and only left when she was named Minority Leader.

She is now Speaker of the House and 2 heartbeats away from President of the United States.

All members are members of the Democratic Party or caucus with the Democratic Party. There are currently 82 total declared Progressives including 79 voting Representatives, 2 non-voting Delegates, and 1 Senator.

The Congressional Progressive Caucus (CPC) was established in 1991 by five members of the United States House of Representatives: Representatives Ron Dellums (D-CA), Lane Evans (D-IL), Peter DeFazio (D-OR), Maxine Waters (D-CA), and Bernie Sanders (I-VT). Then-Representative Bernie Sanders was the convener and first. The founding members were concerned about the economic hardship imposed by the deepening recession, the growing inequality brought about by the timidity of the Democratic Party response at the time.

Additional House representatives joined soon, including Major Owens (D-NY), Nydia Velazquez (D-NY), David Bonior (D-MI), Bob Filner (D-CA), Barney Frank (D-MA), Maurice Hinchey (D-NY), Jim McDermott (D-WA), Jerrold Nadler (D-NY), Patsy Mink (D-HI), George Miller (D-CA), Pete Stark (D-CA), John Olver (D-MA), Lynn Woolsey (D-CA), and Nancy Pelosi (D-CA).

[Little Bill]

In my section of NH the median yearly wage is $40K for a family, two people working, these people are struggling.

[EternalVigilance]

Great post that every American should read.

[WHBates]

"Has anyone heard of any plans to take this mess to the Courts if it does get passed?"

I'm sure we will be told that we have no standing. After all we are only the ones that have to pay for this crap.

[REDWOOD99]

““The bill passed last night will cause the typical family of 4 with $105,000 per year in income will spend 20% of its pre-tax income on medical care.”

WTF?? When did the “typical family” start making that much?

[Broker]

The bitter irony of all this is the total contempt Obama & Co have for any opposition. There are no thoughts, words or deeds that will sway or shadow their ambitions. Their “Payback” resolve is jihad. Gideons of today, heed your calling.

[ExTexasRedhead]

Find conservative candidates immediately and start their campaigns now and notify these incumbent gutter rats they’re TOAST. Start by visiting their offices hourly and notifying them in person that they’re through based on the crime of treason against We The People.

These traitors declared war against the American people and against our Constitution. In other words, they committed tyranny against their country. They disgraced this nation and our forefathers.

The words I would use to describe them would be banned.

[EternalVigilance]

I share the emotion.

[Dick Bachert]

[culpeper]

Problem is that most people that have any understanding of the Constitution or care are the minority. The sheeple acorn bots are bred to think that the Constitution is an evil rich white man’s document. Then again the revolution was lead by a minority.

[EternalVigilance]

I hear ya. Where I live folks don’t earn anywhere near that much on the average.

However, I guess in an urban area with two adults working as professionals or in highly skilled trades or whatever, it wouldn’t be that unusual.

[edge10]

What a concept, sticking to the Constitution! I like this woman already.

“GREENVILLE/SPARTANBURG, SC — Christina Jeffrey, Republican candidate for Congress in South Carolina’s 4th Congressional District...”

I’m just sick of poor journalism, EV. I know you see it, too. Where did that number come from? SC is about 1/3rd that. CA isn’t even that high. It’s the same as saying that Yobama has saved ANY jobs.
