ORLANDO, FL -- Moments after Congress voted to approve President Obama's health care legislation, Florida's Attorney General announced he will file a lawsuit to declare the bill unconstitutional.
Bill McCollum will join Attorneys General from South Carolina, Nebraska, Texas, Utah, Pennsylvania, Washington, North Dakota and South Dakota to file a lawsuit against the federal government.
"The health care reform legislation passed by the U. S. House of Representatives this evening clearly violates the U.S. Constitution and infringes on each state's sovereignty," McCollum said in a statement distributed late Sunday night.
"If the President signs this bill into law, we will file a lawsuit to protect the rights and the interests of American citizens."
McCollum will hold a press conference at his Orlando office Monday morning to discuss his plans.

I think that would be a great idea for our candidates to use in Town Hall meetings!

Yeah, and someone can think of a chant to go w/the nerf gavel. "Respect the gavel. Kill the bill." I don't know.
Here's facebook I can find a million people who don't like the HB bill: http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#!/group.php?gid=370668318969

The majority of the people against HC atrocity can out gavel Pelosi. What then would she say? I bet she’d hate being parodied with bigger gavels.

I like this slogan cuz it's like "up yours" but it's:
GAVEL THIS. (over and over and over and over and over and over). It would get media attention cuz they're used to seeing flags and signs mostly.
GAVEL THIS!

Kaiser Permanente, a big healthcare conglomerate here in Oregon, praised the passage of obamacare. I’m glad to know where they stand. I’ll do everything I can to avoid giving Kaiser Permanente a single penny.
