Cavuto just said the protests by the tea parties was too little, too late.

Would have liked to have gone, but had to work. Small business, no personal days.

Is Neal there? People need encouragement, not his hand wringing.

“Announcing that a church service will be held tomorrow at 11am in the rotunda and statuary hall.”

This could get interesting when Pelosi and the dingbats try to have them arrested for having a church service on government grounds....lol. Pelosi might melt like the wicked witch if God’s words are spoken anywhere near her....lol.

Oh I’d pay at least 100.00 for Waxman, I’d up it 1K to see Pelosi *itch-slapped . . . and no I don’t care that she is a woman but would probably prefer to see another woman do the *itch-slapping, I’d volunteer.

Announcing that a church service will be held tomorrow at 11am in the rotunda and statuary hall.

Wow! Gutsy. If they are going to broadcast it, might stay home from my church to watch.

Over at Belmont Club blog, an interesting point:
Diana Furchtgott-Roth of Real Clear Markets notes the pivotal role that health care “reform” will play in keeping SEIU pensions alive. Without the bill’s passage — by the “deeming” process or otherwise — the union can’t keep expanding membership, which is the key to keep their faltering pension plans going. With health care “reform” it will cling to life a little longer.

More than flexing labor’s political muscles, the overriding reason for SEIU support of health care reform is that it would bring in more members. The percentage of private sector workers belonging to unions has been declining steadily, and reached 7.2% in 2009. Partially offsetting this is the percentage of unionized government workers, 37% last year, up half a percentage point from 2008.

And without more members, the SEIU’s troubled pension funds will continue to fall short of 80% funding, considered by the Labor Department to be acceptable financial coverage.

Even before the stock market crash of 2008-09, the SEIU’s 1199SEIU Greater New York Pension Fund was funded at 58% for 2007. The Service Employees 32BJ North Pension Fund stood at 68%; the Local 32BJ Building Maintenance Contractors Association Pension Plan at 41%; and the 32BJ District Building Operators Pension Trust Fund at 56%. ….

Successful lobbying for health-care reform would expand the health centers available for unionization, driving up costs. The SEIU now represents employees of many providers, including Kaiser Permanente, The League of Voluntary Hospitals and Homes of New York, Tenet Healthcare Corporation, and Dominion Hope. Such providers presumably would expand payroll if 30 million uninsured were covered, with new members required to join the SEIU.
