“Folks, these boards and forums are watched.
Carefully.

Yes, yes, they are.

How much would you wager some of those who monitor this board, and others, are as appalled and as inclined to take the steps that can never be recalled should Jefferson’s maxim be unavoidable.”

Easy answer to that.
My wager is my life.

I do believe there are patriots within the security departments in the Federal government.

Not every lay voter knows the machinations of legislation. The Stupak Amendment got 60-something votes, which may send the Senate and Conference a message, of sorts.

How dare anyone laugh with our freedom in the balance (hearing laughter in there).

DEMS can only lose 40...they’ve lost 36 so far! its a nailbiter!

[BCrago66]

Final count: 39 Dems will vote No.

[pulaskibush]

Now up to 36 Dems NO! I believe we need 41 and no Republicans voting Yay.

[combat_boots]

Gee, do you suppose the vote will be a done deal by 11:09? On 11 07 09?

I think there is some confusion on this thread. The amendment was to prevent federal funding of abortion, which passed, am I right on this?

[Yaelle]

You are right.
