Is Rep. Michele Bachmann a lovable little fuzzball? Those of us who know her on a more personal basis know thats a pretty good description of Michele personally, but politically,shes about as tough as they get. Breitbart TVs B-cast interviews Bachmann, who brings listeners up to date on Barney Franks financial-reform legislation, which dropped on the House last week. Its 1300 pages long, and the vote will be taken today. It reorders the entire financial-services industry and vastly increases government control over it. Oh, and ACORN, too.
Frank bypassed the committee process, according to Bachmann, and she doesnt see much hope for stopping it in the House. She wants to encourage people to put pressure on the Senate, where she thinks the bill can be stopped (via Powip):
Does calling Congress actually work? Bachmann says it absolutely does. She also encourages people to call their Representatives today to at least try to stop this bill, but like Bachmann, I think the chances of stopping it there are negligible, especially since Nancy Pelosi and Barney Frank have a 75-seat majority and the bill has flown under the radar during the health-care debate in the Senate. It will be tough to stop in the upper chamber, but not impossible. We just need to get this on our radar screen quickly and start perusing its 1300 pages more than members of Congress did before having it crammed down their throats.
Thank you!!!!
they’re killin’ us ping. start your calls.
Thank you so much for the pings!!!
This latest destructive tsunami must be stopped in the Senate!!!
I saw a replay of Glenn Beck’s show from Friday. He briefly touched on this obamanation of a bill. Hopefully, he’ll go into it on Monday.
Beck did mention it? Good!
I hope he does do more on it Monday.
From Michele Bachmann’s video = it is red alert time!
Then they came for the socialists, and I did not speak outbecause I was not a socialist;
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak outbecause I was not a trade unionist;
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak outbecause I was not a Jew;
Then they came for me — AND I TOOK DOWN 37 OF 'EM BEFORE I MET ST. PETE.
If ya can't beat 'em; go out with a superior kill ratio.
They'd best hope we still think we can beat 'em.
