t is APPALLING that these Senators have the balls to try and control all of our lives
_______________________________
Think about what you said. How can around 350 people control the lives of over 300 MILLION?..................................?................?...........?
The answer is they can’t, unless the 300 MILLION plus sit back and allow it. Period! People need to step out of their comfort zone and stand up to this corrupt government, and Oh it is corrupt, rotten to the core.

Theyre debating whether or not to debate? That' our Senate. The Greatest Debating Society in the World, or so they say of themselves. (They don't mention that most of it is just posturing).

Not paying them at all would be a better option, don't you think? "National Tax Revolt - April 15th: Revenge Of The Taxpayers." My wife and I have decided that we will no longer pay Fed taxes when this thing passes. It will have a provision for federally funded abortions and I will not pay for the murder of babies. I think many Freepers will have to face this issue.

The truth is most of us are willing to fight anyway we can BUT we are WAITING for someone to lead us. Maybe Palin is that person?

Hand delivery was specified...not payment in full... My bad on the assumption. Gotcha, I'm with ya. I wasn't clear...but I hope the hell we get enough people to show up to actually make a difference...I kinda like the idea of paying (whatever amount you think appropriate) by hand in DC...but doing it with SEVERAL MILLION patriots...with a line that stretches for a hundred miles...and why the hell not? We HAVE to have a couple million conservative that live inside a circle that is less than a day's drive...

What we need to do to get these assholes attention is to mark Apr 15th as a day of NATIONAL PROTEST.
We start by showing up at every post office in the country with cameras, and we burn our income tax returns right in front of their faces!

a vote for the debate is a vote for the bill. I voted for it before I voted against it lingo Needs 60 to debate and only 51 to pass so don’t debate !!!!! SCRUBB IT
To: The Cajun
It will have a provision for federally funded abortions and I will not pay for the murder of babies. I think many Freepers will have to face this issue. The Senate language is not precisely the same as the House legislation, therefore, a conference will be necessary between members of both chambers from the relevant committees. This legislation will once again be required to go through each chamber for vote, the House must once again reach 218. If the abortion provision in included, Stupak has said he has the votes from the pro-life caucus to kill the final bill. As far as I've understood from him, they will not attempt the excuse, "Hey, we got our language in the House version, we couldn't manage any more, give us credit for that." They will defeat the bill if it means taxpayer funding for killing the unborn.

Have to wait till after sundown for LIEberman to cast his YES vote.
