Nuclear Option in trouble… Why??? Because in order to use reconciliation, the bill must go back through the House first, and Pelosi doesn’t have the votes…

National Review On-Line
Paul Ryan on Reconciliation [Robert Costa]
Rep. Paul Ryan (R., Wis.), the ranking member of the House Budget Committee, tells National Review Online that House Democrats are planning to use the budget-reconciliation process in order to pass Obamacare. “They’re meeting with each other THIS WEEKEND to pursue it,” says Ryan. “I’ve spoken with many Democrats and the message is this:" They’re not ready to give up. They’ve waited their entire adult lives for this moment, and they aren’t ready to let 100,000 pesky votes in Massachusetts get in the way of fulfilling their destiny. They’ll look at every option and spend the next four or five days figuring it out.”
If the Democrats pass a health-care bill through reconciliation, it means they would need only 51 votes in the Senate for final passage. To start the process, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) would need to bring a new health-care bill to the House Budget Committee with reconciliation instructions, with the Senate doing the same. “They’d have to go back to the beginning of the process,” says Ryan. “They’d need to affix reconciliation instructions to a new bill.” Doing so, he says, wouldn’t be too hard. “There’s nothing we can do to stop this from a technical standpoint, since all they need is a simple majority vote and our ratio on the committee is terrible. What [Republicans] can do on the Budget Committee is pass resolutions for the Rules Committee to insist on certain changes in the bill and create a ‘vote-a-rama’ atmosphere.”
If reconciliation happens, Ryan predicts that the Democrats will still have a hard time pulling it off. “There are Blue Dog Democrats out there who are more survivalist than ideologues. One or two switches could be a game changer. The question is whether Democrats will continue to follow Pelosi off the cliff. After Massachusetts, the Democrats are quickly realizing that even if the president comes in to stump, and you get all the union support you need, it’s still not enough to get you elected.”

I just received this from 3 reliable sources... AmeriPac, ConservativeActionAlerts, and a friend of mine in the know... Let us not take Nancy Pelosi at her word (which is pretty worthless) from yesterday or get comfortable that we have won or that the Dems have come to their senses...
I think we would be smart to all do another round or faxes, calls and emails!!
ObamaCare Alive And Well…
Pelosi - "Regardless of MA, It Will Happen"
ALERT: Obama the Democrats in Congress and the extreme liberal left are out of touch, blaming voters and everyone else as Brown goes to Town they are still conspiring in the dark corners behind closed doors in Washington to push through ObamaCare.

We need your continued help more than ever as Socialized Health Care MUST STILL Be Stopped.
Pelosi said "Regardless of Massachusetts, it will happen" and Democrats are continuing to work to reconcile the House and Senate ObamaCare bills and are proceeding to force a through a process called "budget reconciliation," where they only need 51 votes to pass a bill, not 60.
Obama, Reid and Pelosi are still circling and have vowed to continue working on passing a scaled down ObamaCare bill by picking America apart with new taxes, increased healthcare costs and insurance premiums by hiding ObamaCare in future spending bills.
The Only Poll That Counts - The Results Of The MA Special Election
The extreme liberal left believes that ObamaCare has not gone far enough and have produced an internal poll of Massachusetts voters (is it really true?) that shows of the Obama voters who cast a ballot for Brown, nearly half (49%) support the Senate bill or think it does not go far enough. (Liars can figure but figures do not lie as dangerously out of touch extreme left Liberals are still pushing ObamaCare)
Trusted Gallup polls tell the truth and 72% say Brown's election reflects many Americans' frustrations, which the president and members of Congress should pay attention to and Americans widely agree that the election result has national political implications.
In the wake of Republican Scott Brown's victory in Tuesday's U.S. Senate election in Massachusetts, the majority of Americans (55%) favor Congress' putting the brakes on ObamaCare.

DEFEATING OBAMACARE: THE NAIL IN THE COFFIN
By DICK MORRIS & EILEEN MCGANN
Published on DickMorris.com on January 22, 2010
Now is the time to finish off the prospects of Obamacare with the Democrats reeling from the defeat in Massachusetts.
We must not trust them. The apparent reluctance of the House Democrats to pass the Senate version will evaporate once Obama puts his weight behind the bill and Pelosi starts to twist arms. Moderate Democrats cannot be counted upon.
Who's to Blame for America's Economic Crisis – Vote Here! So we need to target Democrats in swing districts who voted for the health care legislation in its first go-round in the House and convince them of the error of their ways. As the Republican floor leader in the 60s Senator Everett Dirksen once said "when they feel the heat, they see the light."
Here is a list of twenty-three Democrats who voted for Obamacare and who are vulnerable in 2010. Its time to turn up the heat on them:
Harry Mitchell = Arizona 5
Gabrielle Giffords = Arizona 8
Alan Grayson = Fla 8
Mark Schaue
MichCarol Shea-Porter = NH 1
Mike Arcuri = NY 24
Mary Jo Kilroy = Ohio 15
Kathy Dahlkemper = Pa 3
Christopher Carney = Pa 10
Tom Perriello = Va 5
Ann Kirkpatrick = Arizona 1
Baron Hill = Indiana 9
Dina Titus = Nevada 3
John Hall = NY 19
Stephen Driehaus = Ohio 1
Paul Kanjorsky = Pa 11
Dan Maffei = NY 25
Allan Mollohan = W Va
Nick Rahall = W Va
Steve Kagen = Wisc
Marion Berry = Arkansas
John Spratt = Georgia
Zack Space = Ohio 18
These are the key votes. If we can create a groundswell among their voters, demanding that they retreat from their position of forcing socialized medicine and Medicare cuts on the country, we can win.
Nancy Pelosi's strategy is to delay and let the impact of the Brown win in Massachusetts be blunted by time. Meanwhile, she will propose amendments to the Senate bill and submit her proposed changes to the upper chamber. Harry Reid will tell her that such a bill is dead on arrival but she will demand a vote. When the measure is rejected (or fails of closure), she will go back to her caucus and say, "I tried, but the Senate would not accept any of our amendments."
Then the question is: What happens then? If we have prepared the way by influencing the districts of the marginal members who voted for the bill, we can assure that the centrist Democrats do not support the new legislation. We can peel away some of the 220 votes (with 215 against) by which the bill passed the House.

House and Senate Democrats intend to bypass traditional procedures when they negotiate a final compromise on health care legislation, officials said Monday, a move that will exclude Republican lawmakers and reduce their ability to delay or force politically troubling votes in both houses.
The unofficial timetable calls for final passage of the measure to remake the nation's health care system by the time President Barack Obama delivers his State of the Union address, probably in early February.
Democratic aides said the final compromise talks would essentially be a three-way negotiation involving top Democrats in the House and Senate and the White House, a structure that gives unusual latitude to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada and Speaker Nancy Pelosi of California.
These officials said there are no plans to appoint a formal House-Senate conference committee, the method Congress most often uses to reconcile differing bills. Under that customary format, a committee chairman is appointed to preside, and other senior lawmakers from both parties and houses participate in typically perfunctory public meetings while the meaningful negotiations occur behind closed doors.
In this case, the plan is to skip the formal meetings, reach an agreement, then have the two houses vote as quickly as possible. A 60-vote Senate majority would be required in advance of final passage.
"I look forward to working with members of the House, the Senate and President Obama to reconcile our bills and send the final legislation to the president's desk as soon as possible," Pelosi said late last year as the Senate approved its version of the legislation.
"We hope to get a bill done as soon as possible," said Jim Manley, a spokesman for Reid.
The issue is so partisan that only one Republican, Rep. Anh "Joseph" Cao of Louisiana, has cast a vote in favor of the legislation.
GOP leaders have vowed to try and block a final bill from reaching Obama's desk. "This fight isn't over. My colleagues and I will work to stop this bill from becoming law," Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., the Republican leader, said shortly before the Senate cleared its version of the bill last month.
Both houses have already passed legislation to remake the health care system, extending coverage to millions who lack it while cracking down on industry practices such as denying insurance on the basis of pre-existing medical conditions.
There are literally hundreds of differences between the two bills, a House measure that ran to 1,990 pages and a Senate version of 2,074, not counting 383 pages of last-minute changes. The biggest differences involve a dispute over a government-run insurance option — the House wants one, but the Senate bill omitted it — as well as the size and extent of federal subsidies to help lower-income families afford coverage.
Bypassing a formal conference committee enables Democrats to omit time-consuming procedural steps in the Senate and prevents Republicans from trying to delay the final negotiations.
Under Senate rules, three separate votes are required before negotiators for the two houses may hold a formal meeting. While the three normally are agreed to within seconds, each may be filibustered, and Democrats would then have to produce 60 votes to cut off debate.
Additionally, Republicans would have the right to demand votes on nonbinding proposals once negotiators for the two houses were appointed. That could, in turn, require Democrats to vote on political controversies such as wiping out the legislation's proposed cuts in Medicare, the type of issue that could easily be turned into attack ads in next fall's campaign.
Congress plans no formal sessions until Jan. 19, but Pelosi intends to meet this week with key committee chairmen and other leaders, and a separate meeting is also planned for members of the rank and file.

Harry Reid on Using Deals in Managers Amendments to Pass Legislation 2.9.06
Obama and the Vampire Congress
Skulking Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid rammed the government health care takeover package through under the cover of darkness before Thanksgiving and Christmas. House Democratic leaders forbade debate on all but one amendment not authored by themselves. The Senate Finance Committee killed a GOP amendment that would have required Demcare to be available online for 72 hours before the committee voted. Reid and his Volterra-style henchmen cut last-minute cash-for-cloture deals behind closed doors.
And now House and Senate Democratic leaders are reportedly preparing to cut dissenters out of the reconciliation process by bypassing the formal conference committee. (Read Full Article)

I am sorry to send you this email so late this evening but things are moving quickly and I need your help to stop the Senate Health Care bill. First, in case you haven't heard, Nebraska Democrat, Senator Ben Nelson has caved in his opposition to the Senate Health Care bill. Nelson's surrender paves the way for Senate passage of the bill sometime this week. Tomorrow morning I am headed to Omaha, Nebraska to headline a rally later in the day demanding Senator Nelson switch his vote back to NO. The rally will be held at the Omaha Music Hall, 17th and Capitol. Doors open at 2 PM. Rally starts at 3 PM. Other participants will include Congressman Terry, Auditor Foley, Senators McCoy, Fulton, Krist, Price and Lautenbaugh. If you live nearby or have friends or family that do, please tell them about the rally. I am sending this email to my entire list and I know that most of you reading it do not live anywhere near Omaha but are fighting mad about this and want to do something. Here is an immediate way to help. Tomorrow when I attend the rally I want to be able to say to everyone there that overnight 25,000 Americans signed my petition to Senator Nelson asking him to JUST SAY NO and that they are standing together with everyone at the rally. My hope is that we will collect a total of 100,000 signatures before the final Senate vote. Will you sign this petition now? And then forward this email to your contacts list and ask them to do the same? Help me collect 25,000 signatures overnight. I will post updates from tomorrow from Nebraska at www.huckpac.com. In the meantime, please sign my petition today. Fighting to stop Obama-care,

DeMint Promises to Delay Health Bill, Force Christmas Eve Vote
Any with even a shred of common sense realizes that if you have to force Senators to stay in Washington DC to twist their arms and bribe them… before they can go home to their constituents knows this ObamaCare Bill that Harry is pushing is another fraud and theft bill against the American People.
STOP REID and SUPPORT DeMint – Contact your Republican Senators and ask them to do whatever it takes to delay this vote. Have the entire bill read on the floor and then ask for it read again by quested sections. And then thank them for giving up their Christmas with their families. And then contact every Democratic Senator and keep contacting them to VOTE NO on ObamaCare or just go home before the vote. (And please call Ben Nelson and thank him for his no vote and to stick to it)
I have been told that in order of effectiveness contact by fax, phone, call and lastly email. If you have time, please do all three. We are talking about 1/6 of the American economy being hijacked by the government and the destruction of what was the best healthcare in the world instead of reforming it.
Sen. Jim DeMint said Thursday he is prepared to use every procedural tool to delay a vote on the Democratic healthcare legislation.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) is planning to schedule votes around the clock over the next week to meet a deadline of passing the bill by Christmas. Without the cooperation of Republicans, the marathon schedule would end with a vote on Christmas Eve.
Reid hopes that Republicans will waive some of the procedural formalities so senators are not forced to spend the evening before Christmas milling about the Senate floor.
But DeMint (R-S.C.), chairman of the Senate Republican Steering Committee and a leader of the conservative opposition, told The Hill he will not yield back any time.
DeMint also said he would force the Senate to return to Washington after Christmas to vote on a $290 billion increase to the federal debt limit. Treasury officials told lawmakers that they need an increase of borrowing authority to keep the government solvent beyond Dec. 31
“I’m not going to waive any time,” DeMint said in an interview, when asked whether he would force Reid to go late into Christmas Eve to pass healthcare legislation. “I think it’s our responsibility to stretch this out because every day we do we have time to tell Americans what’s in it."
DeMint said Democrats hope “they can pass it before Americans know what’s in it, while people are thinking about Christmas and being with their families.”
Senate Democrats concede that they will have to return to Washington between Christmas and New Year’s Day to pass the increase in the federal debt limit if a single GOP member objects to expediting that vote.
DeMint made clear he will not cooperate.
“We’ll be back here the day after Christmas if Democrats want it,” said DeMint.
Reid is just as adamant about passing the healthcare bill before Christmas, a deadline Senate Democrats have talked about for weeks.
“We’re going to finish this healthcare bill before we leave here for the holidays,” Reid said on the Senate floor Thursday.
To meet that goal, Reid has tentatively scheduled a 1 a.m. vote Friday to cut off debate on the defense-spending bill, which also includes an extension of unemployment benefits and COBRA subsidies for people who have lost their jobs. If the Senate votes to quash the filibuster, lawmakers would proceed to final passage after 30 hours of post-cloture debate, or at 7 a.m. Saturday, according to Democratic sources briefed on the plan.
For the Senate to pass healthcare reform by Christmas, as Reid has pledged, the Senate leader would then have to file take a series of necessary procedural steps that would force votes all week at odd hours.
Reid must file motions to end debate on: the manager’s amendment, which includes all the final-hour changes made to win the support of 60 Democratic senators; the 2,074-page healthcare bill, which lawmakers have been debating on the floor; and on the underlying legislative vehicle, the Service Members Home Ownership Tax Act.
Republicans may force Senate clerks to read the entire manager’s amendment but that will not disrupt the schedule. That’s because reading the amendment, which will be shorter than the 2,074-page healthcare bill, is not expected to take more than eight hours.
Reid could offer the manager’s amendment on Saturday morning and keep to his schedule as long as he files cloture sometime before midnight.
Cloture motions need one day to ripen, so the earliest the Senate could vote to end debate on Reid’s manager’s amendment would be 1 a.m. Monday.
Democrats would have to allow 30 hours of post-cloture debate to elapse before voting to approve the manager’s amendment. A second cloture vote to end debate on the initial healthcare bill would happen as early as 7 a.m. Tuesday, followed by another 30 hours of post-cloture debate before a vote to adopt that amendment to the underlying bill.
Democrats would then have to repeat the same process on the third motion to end debate on the underlying bill, setting up a cloture vote at 1 p.m. Wednesday.
At any time, the chamber could move up a final vote if every senator agrees. But if a single senator objects, the earliest a final vote on the final package could take place would be 7 p.m. on Christmas Eve.
And if Republicans object to fast-tracking the increase in the federal debt limit, as DeMint has threatened, the Senate would be forced to return the following week.
Senate Budget Committee Chairman Kent Conrad (D-N.D.) said Treasury Department officials have informed him that the administration needs new borrowing authority by Dec. 31. Conrad said the administration may be able to extend the deadline for a short time because of loan repayments it has received from Citigroup and other banks.
Conrad said Thursday he expected a Christmas Eve vote to pass the healthcare bill.

Senators Ben Nelson (D-NE), Mary Landrieu (D-LA), andBlanche Lincoln (D-AR) cannot be counted on to do the right thing. They have made up their minds to vote for the bill if necessary and just need an excuse. If Sen. Lieberman holds firm, President Obama will need one Republican to cross the aisle to provide the 60th vote needed to invoke cloture, cut off debate, and pass the bill.
Sen. Olympia Snowe (R-ME) is the Republican most likely to support the bill. She voted for it in committee and is currently working to make small changes that could be used to justify her support. Sen. Snowe voted against the bill before Thanksgiving so it's very important for Americans to thank her for that vote and encourage her to be strong.
Please call Sen. Snowe's Washington office at (202) 224-5344 or send her an email here.
And not matter what, keep up the pressure on your Senator, Nelso, Landrieu, Lincoln and as many others as you can!
Please continue to call, fax and email your State's Senator(s); Senators Lincoln, Landrieu, Nelson and Snowe... and as many of the rest that you can. Keeping up the pressure today could save your life and finances in the future!!
From the Desk of: Steve Elliott, Grassfire Nation
The Senate vote on ObamaCare will happen before
Christmas because the "hammer" is about to fall.
Details below. –Steve
We have just learned that Senate Democrats are in final
preparations to unveil their healthcare "hammer" to get
ObamaCare passed.
The "hammer" is the new public option compromise being
worked out -- again behind closed doors -- that puts the
government-run public option plan under the direction of a
"non-governmental board."
As if we are to believe this is an improvement!
The "hammer public option" would be imposed immediately in
every state that does not meet the ObamaCare guidelines.
In addition, Reid and the Democrats have gotten so desperate
to pass ObamaCare prior to Christmas that we now have
positive confirmation that the "nuclear option" is still
a looming threat. (The "nuclear option" would only require
50 votes to pass ObamaCare instead of the 60 votes now
needed to end debate on the Senate floor.)
Sen. Ben Nelson acknowledged that in an op-ed. He feared
failure to cast a vote to proceed would move Reid to use
the "budget reconciliation" nuclear option.
With the "hammer" coming and the very real threat of the
nuclear option on the table, we are almost guaranteed a
vote on ObamaCare in the Senate before Christmas.
+ + 750,000 citizens needed in Grassfire Nation
We expect the "hammer public option" to be revealed next
week and we want to greet its arrival with 750,000 petitions
hand-delivered to U.S. Senate offices. Already more than
640,000 citizens in Grassfire Nation have taken a stand
against government-run health care, but I absolutely need
your help right now to push us to our petition goal!
Take whatever time needed to get this update into the
hands and hearts of 35-40 friends. Urgently press upon
each of them the importance of taking immediate
action against this devastating bill that would
change the face of our nation.
Have them click here now to sign the petition and have
it hand-delivered to your two Washington senators
as soon as we reach 750,000:
http://www.grassfire.net/r.asp?u=23382&PID=22711777
I am convinced that you and I are the last line
of defense against this aggressive reshaping of our nation,
and am counting on you to once-again rise up and help me
build a massive coalition of grassroots citizens who are
willing to stand and fight for their nation!
Thanks in advance for taking action,
Steve Elliott - Grassfire Nation

Senators from your State. – Additional Senator Information
The "health-care reform" bills in Congress would hit 39 states hard with new expenses, by raising Medicaid eligibility above the cur rent income cutoffs.
The only states that won't have to raise eligibility because of the Senate bill are Connecticut, Illinois, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Vermont and Wisconsin (plus the District of Columbia). And the House bill would force even Massachusetts and Vermont to pay more.
Hardest hit would be Texas ($2,750 million a year in extra state spending under the Senate bill), Pennsylvania ($1,450 million), California ($1,428 million) and Florida ($909 million). Who knows if Florida could avoid imposing an income tax if it has to meet so high an unfunded mandate?
The required increases in state spending are likely to be quite high in some states whose senators are swing votes on ObamaCare:
* In Arkansas, home to swing Sens. Mark Pryor and Blanche Lincoln, the annual increased state spending would come to $402 million (not counting the federal share) -- about a 10 percent increase in the state budget, which is now $4 billion a year.
* In Louisiana, whose Sen. Marie Landrieu sold her vote on a key procedural motion in return for more Medicaid funding, the increase would come to $432 million (a 5 percent hike in state spending) -- more than wiping out the extra funds she got in return for her vote.
* In Sen. Evan Bayh's Indiana, spending would go up by $586 million a year, a rise of 4 percent.
* In Sen. Ben Nelson's Nebraska, the added state spending would be $81 million a year, a 2 percent increase.
The Sebate ObamaCare bill would cost North Dakota, home of Sens. Kent Conrad and Byron Dorgan, $14 million. South Dakota, represented by Sen. Tim Johnson, would have to boost Medicaid spending by $33 million.
The Medicaid-expansion provisions of the Senate bill are complex. In the first year of the program (2013), states must enroll anyone who earns less than 133 percent of the poverty level in their programs.
For a family of four, the national average poverty level in 2009 is $22,000 a year. So any family that size that makes less than $29,000 would be eligible for Medicaid.
Many states, particularly in the South, actually have Medicaid cutoffs below the poverty level. Arkansas, for example, cuts off its Medicaid eligibility at only 17 percent of poverty level, and in Louisiana it goes up to only 26 percent. For these states, the spending increase required by the new bill is huge.
For the first three years of the program (2013-15) the federal government would pay for all of the costs of the Medicaid expansion. But, starting in the fourth year of operation -- 2016 -- the average state would be obliged to pay 10 percent of the extra cost.
For Democratic governors, this provision means sudden death. Particularly in states with limited Medicaid coverage, it would require huge tax increases.
Dick Morris, author of Catastrophe
Harry, Pelosi, Obama... the Dems are lying to you. The price, overall cost to you and amount added to America's debt if ObamaCare passes, in any form, will be outrageous and your quality of care will go down!!
If deals have to made behind closed doors, if addendums, deals and amendments have to be hidden from the citizens and if Senators are allowed to be bought off and bribed for their votes with millions and billions of our, your, tax payer money... there is something wrong with the system, the government, the leadership and the bill.

Harry Reid unveiled his $849 billion health-care bill tonight. It weighs in at 2,074 pages. Keith Hennessey runs through the tax hikes in the bill:
The following is from the Joint Tax Committee estimate of the revenue effects of the Reid bill. I have listed provisions with major revenue effects (+$20 B / 10 years) and a few others that have significant policy or political impacts. There are some smaller changes as well, which you can see for yourself in the 3-page document. All revenue figures are revenues raised over the ten-year period 2010-2019.
1. 40% excise tax on health coverage in excess of $8,500 (individuals) / $23,000 (families). Amounts are indexed for inflation by CPI-U + 1% – begins in 2013 – $149 B tax increase
2. Additional 0.5% Medicare (Hospital Insurance) tax on wages in excess of $200,000 ($250,000 for joint filers) – begins in 2013 – $54 B tax increase
3. Impose annual fee on manufacturers and importers of branded drugs – begins in 2010 – $22 B tax increases
4. Impose annual fee on manufacturers and importers of certain medical devices – begins in 2010 – $19 B tax increase
5. Cut in half (to $500K) the amount of an executive’s compensation that a health plan can deduct from its corporate income taxes – begins in 2013 – $600 million tax increase
6. Impose 5% excise tax on cosmetic surgery and similar procedures – begins for surgery in 2010 – $6 B tax increase!
In total the bill would raise taxes by $370 B over ten years.
Analysis on the tax hikes from Hennessey at the link. Reid has decided to raise the Medicare payroll tax on individuals making more than $106,800; perhaps not the smartest way to boost employment.
The CBO report says the bill would save $127 billion over 10 years--but as Allahpundit notes "$127 billion over 10 years sounds like a lot until you remember that $176 billion was October’s monthly deficit." We still haven't gotten a look at the CBO report to see just how bad the Medicare cuts will be [Update: The CBO (download here) reports Medicare will be cut by $491 billion over 10 years], but tell grandma and grandpa not to worry: Under this bill they'll get $500 in 2010 when Harry Reid just so happens to be up for reelection.
The bill also allows taxpayer-funding for abortions through the public health insurance plan and the health insurance exchanges; the language is similar to the Capps amendment that tried to conceal federal funding of abortion through an accounting gimmick (see here). National Right to Life Committee calls the amendment "completely unacceptable."
Senator Mitch McConnell said in a statement: “This bill has been behind closed doors for weeks. Now, it’s America’s turn, and this will not be a short debate. Higher premiums, tax increases and Medicare cuts to pay for more government—the American people know that is not reform.”

And if we let them take this monstosity to Conference… in other words, proceed… it will then be loaded up with whatever horrors are in the Pelosi verson before the final vote… but we won’t get to read it again.
For God Sake America… Stand up and Stop This… Hasn’t TARP, the Stimulus Bill, The GM…Bank…and AIG bailouts, the disastrous recovery programs and etc etc been enough to warn us?? We are out of time to wait and see…!!
Please Read the Bill Posted online and then Contact your Senator, the moderates on both sides and all the Democratic Senators… especially the Blue Dogs and known teeterers.
United States Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121
ObamaCare will make things worse for everyone… It has nothing to do with healthcare reform… it is one of the major steps in the Obama Administration’s Redistribution of Wealth Plan!!
The time to stand up is now… If the Senate Version of the ObamaCare Bill Passes the Vote this Saturday… the vote to take the next step… it will be ‘almost impossible’ to stop it… and the America you know will change forever!!
Please wake-up, stand-up and fight America… Please!!

What We Know About the Senate Health Care Plan
Do not let anyone tell you that ObamaCare in inevitable!! Yesterday’s wins for Republicans in New Jersey and Virginia and narrow loss, only due to technicalities for the Conservative Independent in the NY-23 Congressional Race prove it and put the program in ever greater peril.
Chris Christie's gutsy win in New Jersey puts the arrogant big spender Jon Corzine in his place. But it is the election in Virginia that probably has more to say to marginal Democratic congressmen considering how to vote on health-care reform.
Obviously, Christie's victory is a body blow to Obama after Corzine outspent the Republican by five-to-one and the president put on a serious push for the incumbent. Corzine's defeat sends a message that the nation is moving sharply against Obama.
But Virginia results are the most important. More than 80 Democratic congressmen and 20 senators come from states that John McCain carried in 2008. For them, the sudden switch in Virginia, a swing state that Obama actually carried, heralds tough political times ahead.
New Jersey is the quintessential blue state. If it goes Republican, blue state congressmen needn't worry. Their districts are likely still safe. But when a Republican in Virginia wins by 20 points, it sends a message to red-state Democratic congressmen to take cover.
Polls indicate a declining level of popular approval of the Obama policies (Rasmussen shows his job approval at 46 percent), but to see actual Democrats losing or barely squeaking out victories in solidly blue states sends a far clearer message to the Democrats in Congress.
Until last night, Democratic moderates, the so-called blue dogs, could bask in the light of their candidate's success in 2008. But now they must hear hoof beats behind them. The party discipline on which Obama depends to pass a health-care program that Americans reject by 42 percent for, 55 percent against (Rasmussen again) will only work if beleaguered Democratic incumbents can wrap themselves in Obama's cloak and tough out the popular criticism. But the limits of Obama's drawing power are readily apparent in the Republicans' 20-point victory in Virginia and the race in New Jersey.
In the coming weeks, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid will be asking their troops to cast potentially career-ending votes for health-care changes, Medicare cuts, higher taxes and fines on the uninsured. Whether they take that risk depends on their faith in Obama's drawing power.
But the votes in Virginia, in particular, show the limits of Obama's appeal. The winner, Bob McDonnell, won the attorney general's race in the last election by a few tenths of a percent over the same opponent. That he coasted to so huge a victory in the swing state of Virginia now has to send a message to red-state Democratic congressmen: Obama may be able to survive in the deep water into which he is leading his party, but you can't.
Dick Morris, Author of Catastrophe
There were a coupe great interviews by Judge Napolitano and a surgeon and author (The Awakening of a Surgeon), David H. Janda, a representative from the Heritage Foundation earlier today, as well as with Rep Michele Bachmann… will update this when those become available.
1. In a new survey 45% of physicians say they will leave medicine if ObamaCare passes… add that to between 15 and 30 million additionally insured and you have doctor and quality of healthcare shortages and resources… which means inferior healthcare, rationing (death panels by another name) and there will be cost and tax increases.
2. A Federal Coordinating Council (presently 15 members) and a National Coordinator having access to mandatory records or everyone’s health and financial records and having the power to give the final word on your healthcare (death panels) is already in place. It was planned for and snuck into the Stimulus Bill. No conspiracy? No larger takeover agenda? Transparency?
3. Obama still has hundreds of open government positions that he has never filled; some because they have chosen to appoint radical czars instead that require no confirmation and answer to no one… but partly, they say, because of lack of time… But there has been time to appoint these 16 people to a council that nobody knew existed and will only come into play if allow ObamaCare (or any form of government controlled healthcare) to pass.
4. Why are so many doctor planning on leaving medicine if this passes? Because this plan and withholding care is against their Hippocratic oath.
5. ObamaCare/PelosiCare/HarryCare will require everyone to purchase health insurance (ultimately from the government); which is unconstitutional.
6. There are rumblings that energy legislation and student loan legislation will be attached (snuck through) with ObamaCare… both power grab and tax measures!!!
7. AARP just openly supported the PelosiCare Bill. For any seniors who were still hanging onto some crazy belief that AARP was supporting you… this should be the final sign you need!
8. Everything they kept telling us all summer that wasn't in the bill is in there... or has already been put in place.
9. Every Democratic President (American Progressivism) has tried to put though or extend some form of government HC. To help the American People?? Think Again!!
Get to Washington DC tomorrow at noon or anytime this week and confront your congressman, Senator and Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid. If you can’t get there, rally at your representative’s local office and flood Congress and reps and Sen local offices with calls all week and especially between noon and 1PM. Follow up with faxes, emails and snail mail letters!! Tell them: "Keep you hands off my healthcare and uphold the Constitution".
Stop ObamaCare!!!!!!!
Get the Federal Coordinating Council and a National Coordinator revoked
Stop Congress and the WH from sneaking through anymore legislation and fight to remove what they have already forced on us without our knowledge!!
We are in a war!! The greatest fight for our freedom America has ever seen since the 1776!!! The only question is... do we have the courage and fortitude it takes?
Maybe Republicans ought to move to strike the "and perpetrators" part of that program?

America has 3-days to figure out that there is nothing about ObamaCare (PelosiCare or HarryCare) that has anything to do with healthcare reform or anything to do with helping the American people, cutting costs, improving care or in insuring everyone. It is all about controlling more of the American Economy that used to pretty much be part of the private sector and grabbing power… Please, wake up America… this bill is one of those Liberty or Tyranny moments as Rep Bachmann said and as the House Minority Leader, John Boehner is warning us about.
If you can possible do it… get to Washington D.C. Thursday and meet at the Capital steps at noon… or go for Wednesday and Thursday November 4th & 5th.
Did you know that approx 800 additional pages in pork and amendments will be added to that bill before the vote?
Did you know that the GOP has present 50-alternative healthcare bills that were not even considered; the Dems have locked out the GOP from and any deliberation on this bill and the White House has refused to meet with any Republicans, even the trained doctors in the House and Senate, since last Thursday? Then, over the weekend they were told they could now present an alternative before the vote…? Yah Right…
Does this sound like anyone is interested in real reform, your healthcare or anything positive?
The HC Bill has been online since last Thursday nite and reviews of what is in that bill are everywhere… and it isn’t good for America, for you or your family.
See you in Washington DC on Thursday… If you can’t, gather in protest at your representative or Senator’s local office and/or please flood the capital switchboard all week and especially between 11:45 and 1:00PM on Thursday. Then back up those calls with calls to your Congress people’s local offices and emails and faxes to both offices.
John Boehner: “Let America Read the Healthcare Bill”
For those who want to read the bill and haven’t started, it may be found at: http://docs.house.gov/rules/health/111_ahcaa.pdf
Let Congress Hear You… Come Join Us or Call and Please Share This Information
Hope to see you on the Hill
United States Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121 or (202) 225-3121
(202) 225-0100 - Speaker of the House Pelosi
Congress.org - Elected Officials
Tea Party With Rep Michele Bachmann
Time: November 5, 2009 from 12pm to 1pm
Location: US Capitol
Street: 1st and Constitution Ave NW
City/Town: Washington DC
Website or Map: http://www.youtube.com/watc...
Event Type: tea, party, protest
Organized By: Lisa Miller
Video: Meet Me On the Hill - Bachmann
The only people who are telling you that there are good things in this bill or program are people who haven’t read the bill or have drunk from the Progressive Liberal Kool Aid…
Message to Congress:
“Hands off our Healthcare! We will work to unseat or impeach everyone who votes for ObamaCare!!
Junk this entire bill and we will start over after the 2010 or 2012 Elections with bipartisan and real reform!!
The elderly Seniors need to realize what the Obama Health Care Plan is really all about
Stand-up America. Someday your children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren will ask you what you were doing when this was going!?!
------------
Just Received this same list from My Congressman, the Honorable John Campbell who is great at updating his constituents weekly or more!
Same 111 Point list, so it is making the rounds from Congressman to Congressman as well... Don't let them tell you that they didn't know!!
Thanks to the House Republican Conference, I have included a list of names of these proposed new bureaucratic entities along with the corresponding page numbers.
Click Here to Read all 1,990 pages.
Today’s edition of the Wall Street Journal has a scathing editorial of the legislation introduced by Speaker Pelosi. It notes the creation of a new ‘Health Choices Commissioner’ that will decide “essential benefits” which all insurers will have to offer. This sounds like something straight out of Aldous Huxley’s, A Brave New World or George Orwell’s, 1984.
Until next time, I remain respectfully,
Congressman John Campbell
Member of Congress
