Obamacare Is Dead and Here's Why [Obamacare Ongoing Thread]

Town Hall ^ | 1-26-10 | Robert A. Levy

[JustPiper]

As the Massachusetts blame game unfolds, the president’s unpopular health bill leads the list. But the substantive provisions of the bill were just part of the problem. Perhaps more important, voters were appalled by how the deal unfolded.

Consider the pre-election giveaway to the labor unions. Negotiators agreed to exempt union contracts until 2018 from the tax on so-called Cadillac health-insurance plans. That backroom bargain not only outraged the voters, it also violated the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution, requiring the federal government to extend equal protection of the laws to all U.S. persons. Of course, not all voters understood the constitutional nuances, but they sensed that something was very wrong; and they reacted.

I have been disturbed by the socialists for years, ever since I learned many members of Congress 'openly' joined the DSA (Democratic Socialists of America). Several years ago, the names were published on the DSA site. (since removed of course) Please post any info you have, many of you have been on this issue for many years, & if we can store it all on one thread, we have our FreeRepublic Warehouse on the enemies of the state. How DO we combat this, when it's coming at us from every angle? When the people have been asleep for decades. Please post anything you have found or accumulated. Also choose a dictator these people follow, of particular interest,those in D.C. who have been quoted with their adulation of one.

Lincoln Davis of Tennessee and Pomeroy of North Dakota?

Update 3-20, 6:28 PM: One of the more curious situations is that of Rep. Lincoln Davis of Tennessee. He voted NO last time and represents a district that is 14 points more Republican than the country as a whole. He’s not “undecided;” he has simply refused to give anyone any public indication of how he intends to vote.

Is he refusing to say anything because he’s pledged his vote to Pelosi and he doesn’t want to have to hear it from his constituents, or is he refusing because he doesn’t want union sit-ins staged in his office like the one that Rep. Altmire got after announcing that he would vote no? Because he voted no last time and because of the strong GOP tilt to his district, I would have to bet on the latter, but we’ll see.

Update 3-20, 6:17 PM: Will Pomeroy flip our way?

North Dakota has a small population, so Rep. Earl Pomeroy represents the entire state. Now, North Dakota is about ten points more Republican than the country as a whole. A few hours ago, the North Dakota GOP Convention selected State Rep. Rick Berg, the former majority leader of the state house, to run against Pomeroy.

A Rasmussen poll last month showed Berg beating Pomeroy 46% to 40%, which was apparently a key factor in today’s decision by the Convention. If Pomeroy votes yes, he is headed for certain defeat. As of a couple hours ago, Pomeroy was still telling reporters that he was “undecided.”

[thouworm]

I think so too. I have to think about it all after this weekend, but there might be a way to collaborate with HillBuzz. At the very least there are many Freepers with knowledge of this subject far beyond me and I would want to get their opinions also.

PS: Like the graphic! I may borrow for appropriate occasions?

Do you want health care rally?
or health care vote?

[JustPiper]

Hello Patriots!!

What a great day!!! I have just spoken with our National Director Darla Dawald and she is excited!! Here are a few things she wanted me to tell all of you:

The Rally went well and the folks there were great! There were 40-50,000 of our Fellow Patriots on the West Lawn. The numbers are STILL coming in, but you will not hear this on the mainstream news media. The People were chanting “Kill The Bill”. During the Rally the Speakers were giving updates on the BlueDog Democrats w/numbers for folks to call. And they were burning those lines up!

After the event Folks went of to the Office Buildings of their Respective house members only to find one of the Buildings had the doors locked. In Fine American Patriot form - the crowds were chanting -
“Nancy - Let us IN!”

So - where does the HealthCare Bill Stand: “Deem and Pass” is Dead in the Water. They will be voting on it Tomorrow. Word is that Nancy Pelosi does NOT have the votes for this bill. KEEP CALLING, KEEP FAXING, KEEP EMAILING!!!!

Tonight Darla, Amy and a few others will be going to a Candlelight Vigil @ 7:30 at the United States Supreme Court.

Darla hopes to be making an Audio update here pretty soon. You can find that on the main page http://www.resistnet.com/

She will be posting pics from the event as well so look for those. Oh and she got to meet Jon Voight!

So folks, Keep up the Great job you are doing - keep those calls, emails and faxes going in - and Pray without Ceasing!

Thanks,
Mellie Reid
Asst Natl Dir
