Did Byrd dust off his old Klan robes for the vote?

It’s an historic moment...we are passing into a new government led economy. The Senate has just told the American people: screw you...we don’t care what you think...we know best.

Immediately afterward they voted to raise the debt ceiling, I thought I heard by 350 billion.

This is war, you people.

Does anyone know if there is a way to organize a class action suit to block this ?

I will be the first one to volunteer time and as much as I can afford in money. I think there is potential to draw more than enough participants to make it affordable on an individual level.

No joke, no sitting on our hands acting pissed off. Is it possible? Any experts available for comment ?

It is a sad day for the country, but do not lose hope. If this pos is finally passed and signed, many people in many states will then have Federal Standing. This will be placed on the Roberts SCOTUS Express, where it will be ruled as Unconstitutional.

In the mean time, the residents of Oklahama and Texas will vote on Constitutional Amendments to their State Constitutions that will render the law as not valid in those states.

So Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

NOt often mentioned are the millions of citizens and spouses over 65 who are still employed and whose employee/group insurance pays before Medicare - saving the Gubmint plan $millions (which our elected buzzards have squandered)

This program is just another scam to grab money from citizens for more fraud, waste & abuse in the system of socialism the Dems designed decades ago.

Great. Freepers in Red or Purple states with DEM Senators DO NOT FORGET THIS. Obama and the Dems will try and become moderate just in time for the 2010 election, don’t let them try.

Don’t wait for the RNC to take action or we will be exactly in this spot again. Take to the streets, editorial board and radio shows. We cannot afford do let another liberal to run this country.
