Health care reconciliation, Obama Reid Pelosi, Sham summit, 51 votes in Senate, Emergency Tele town Hall TONIGHT, Washington DC Thursday

Health care reconciliation, Obama Reid Pelosi

From Americans for Prosperity, February 23, 2010.

It was bad enough when President Obama, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid tried to pass their health care takeover through vote-buying, closed-door meetings, and strong-arm tactics.  But what they’re doing now is even worse…
 
Right now, Obama, Pelosi and Reid are working to ram their Washington takeover through Congress – without a real vote – using a parliamentary trick called “reconciliation.”
 
Democrats are hosting a sham “summit” this Thursday to “re-package” their failed plan before they attempt to force it through using “reconciliation.”  The result of their dishonest maneuver:  only 51 votes will be needed in the Senate instead of the 60 required by the long-established rule of law.
 
Working with grassroots allies, Americans for Prosperity has a plan to defeat this threat:
 
1. Please join us for an Emergency Tele-town Hall TONIGHT at 7:30PM Eastern to discuss this threat and our strategy to defeat it.  Dial (888)886-6603, Ext. # 14152.  Your direct involvement and input is critical to our success.  There’s no charge to you for joining this call.
 
2. If you can make it to Washington this Thursday, please stand with us as we protest right outside the gates of the DC mansion where Obama, Pelosi and Reid are hosting their sham “summit.”  We’ll meet at 9:30AM outside the Blair House (across from the Pennsylvania Avenue side of the White House ) to greet members of Congress as they arrive.  Then, we’ll hold our own Patients’ Summit at the J.W. Marriott on Pennsylvania Avenue, just a couple blocks away.  We’ll provide lunch and we’ll be joined by great speakers including Congressmen Tom Price and John Shadegg, Colin Hanna from Let Freedom Ring, and others.  (Let me know you’ll be there by CLICKING HERE.)
 
3. Just know that this Thursday beginning bright and early I’m asking you to call, email and if possible visit the district office of your Senators and House member to tell them they better not use the dishonest procedure called “reconciliation” to force through their big government health care takeover.  And, please forward this information to your friends.  CLICK HERE
 
If you can’t be there in Washington, you can still participate.  Just log onto www.AmericansForProsperity.org to view our LIVE web-cast starting at 11:30AM.
 
I know this is a lot to throw at you with short notice.  But you and I have worked too hard to give up now and let the Left force this agenda through Congress with a legislative trick.  The American people have already rejected a government takeover of our health care, time and time again.  Let’s make it clear that we’re not falling for the Left’s slick advertising campaigns – and that those who support them or stand aside while they subvert democracy will pay a huge price.
 
Thanks for all you do – now let’s win this fight.
 
Sincerely,

Tim

  1. Obama Introducing NEW Socialized Healthcare Bill Monday — Click Below to Tell Congress to VOTE NO on ObamaCare:
    http://news.dienerconsultants.com/ct/3953764:5873778648:m:1:168671299:5EC726F3D28643835E018A8B785F80D2

    ALERT: Did you think that, because Barack Hussein Obama has called for a “bipartisan healthcare reform summit” on Feb. 25th, that the Democrats were serious about starting over and including the Republicans’ ideas in their plans?

    WRONG! According to liberal bastion The New York Times, “President Obama will put forward comprehensive health care legislation intended to bridge differences between Senate and House Democrats ahead of a summit meeting with Republicans next week, senior administration officials and Congressional aides said Thursday.”

    But that’s not all they’re reporting:
    Democratic officials said the president’s proposal was being written so that it could be attached to a budget bill as a way of averting a Republican filibuster in the Senate. The procedure, known as budget reconciliation, would let Democrats advance the bill with a simple majority rather than a 60-vote supermajority.
    So, in other words, Obama is LYING about compromising on his healthcare plans, and Reid and Pelosi are preparing to use a parliamentary trick to ram ObamaCare down the throats of the American people!

  2. brought over from previous post:

    Totally off topic and not relevant to anything, but did anyone happen to view Huckabee’s interview with the FLOTUS????

    If you can watch it, see if you can count the times she said “ya know.” I got nauseated and lost count. Not a good representation or presentation.

    Our former FLOTUS, Laura Bush, always came across in interviews with grace and charm!

    What a contrast

    From Blogsphere:
    The Supreme Court is not the law of the land. The US Constitution has always been and remains so today. It is by dishonest legerdemain over decades that the American people have come to believe that the black-robed Mafia is not only the people’s ‘traffic light’ on federal law, but also has final judicial authority over the States.
    Had America’s county sheriffs been urged, required, and been held accountable by their respective state legislatures for the enforcement of all state laws then this whole gun control would never have been so insidious and liberty-robbing from the federal level. State judges are liable for impeachment by the state legislatures, so that’s not a problem judicially. No, just as at the congressional level in Washington, citizens have the responsibility to see their elected state reps. honor their oaths of office to the states’ constitutions.
    NULLIFICATION of federal gun laws, like so many other un-Constitutional federally conceived laws, is the lawful recourse for the citizens of the states.
    The BATFE is waging war against the gunowners of Tennessee and Montana, and has openly expressed their intention to disregard and revoke the respective states’ sovereignty laws.

  37. Thanks everyone for voting in the pole and pushing Medina up.

    I do believe that makes a difference, because a lot of people who don’t even know the candidates, will vote for the one leading (no one wants to be on the losing team)

    Yes, I agree; the lack of voting polls and numbers coming out of Texas reeks of corruption and voter fraud.

    I think she’s winning, and that’ why no one is releasing polls. They don’t want to garner more support for her, by showing her in the lead.

    May God bless Texas and the USA with his helping hand in the Governors race!

    Dems to Self-immolate via Reconciliation

    Posted by Dan Perrin (Profile)

    Saturday, February 20th at 12:51PM EST

    . .. starting mid-way through the article . . .

    What is really going on? Are the Dems that crazy to think that their attempt at using reconciliation will help them politically? Or are they just delusional, and cannot accept it is over for ObamaCare, and do not have the discipline to turn to something the public actually wants, like deficit reduction?

    The Dems cannot accept the defeat of ObamaCare and will try reconciliation because Majority Leader Reid is desperate for liberal support for his failing re-election effort; Speaker Pelosi is genuinely irrational about ObamaCare, and the President believes that the entire Dem Congress should politically self-destruct to save his bill.

    Mainline Dem strategists like Charlie Cook call it a “massive miscalculation.” Cook’s interview is a MUST WATCH here, at the National Journal.

    Meanwhile, today the Hill is reporting that the GOP says the Dems do not have the votes on the Senate floor. This intelligence is accurate, but the Dem Senators will not embarrass Senator Reid by contradicting him publicly.

    Add irrational to desperate and you get the Dems attempting to pass ObamaCare via reconciliation.

    But the tough problems remain. Like abortion. The whole idea of forcing the country through months more of health care, to make the bill more liberal, and then send it back to the House floor where you would force Members in an election year to walk the plank again on abortion, ObamaCare, Medicare cuts, tax increases, the individual mandate, health benefits for illegal immigrants, while spending $2.5 trillion to do it is, quite simply, nutty.

    So, let the Dems try to pass ObamaCare via reconciliation.

    They will find themselves in another three or four month political valley of death. And they will still not pass the bill.

    The country is not in danger of ObamaCare passing via reconciliation.

    The country is, however, in danger from politically desperate and irrational leaders who are intent on the political equivalent of self-immolation.

    Herein is the drama from no-drama-Obama.

    excerpt:

    “The original House health care bill passed last November by a 220 to 215 margin. But supporters have lost four votes since then. Democrat Rep. Robert Wexler has left the House, and Rep. Neil Abercrombie is expected to leave this week. Rep. John Murtha died, and Republican Rep. Joseph Cao, the only GOP lawmaker to vote for the bill, now says he will vote against the measure. That leaves Democrats with 216 votes, one short of the 217 it will take to pass. (That number is one less than the usual 218 because of the vacancies in the House.)

    In addition, it’s thought that some number of Democrats who voted for the original bill will likely vote against the Senate version because it lacks the House bill’s language on the subject of abortion (the president’s proposed compromise doesn’t help on that subject, either). Republicans estimate there may be 11 such Democrats. If there are, that takes the number down to 205, which means Speaker Nancy Pelosi will need to find a dozen “yes” votes to make up the difference. It is widely thought that she had some possible yes votes in reserve last November, to be used if they were absolutely essential to passage. Are there 12? No one knows.

    And that doesn’t begin to consider the Democrats who voted in favor of the House bill last November but have now finally been persuaded, by continued public opposition in the polls, the Senate election in Massachusetts, and the generally worsening political climate for Democrats, that another vote in favor of the wildly unpopular health bill would be suicidal. Can Pelosi really be willing to bet that she can get everyone who originally voted yes on the bill to vote yes again? And for the Democrats who originally voted against the bill — does anyone believe that any are going to change their minds to vote yes?”

  62. I’m thinking the ‘heathcare summit’ is a lose/lose situation for ol’ Bully Boy Bo. Nice thought . . . .

  63. So much for vaulting over…..

  64. South,
    Lets hope the Perry machine can’t cheat her out of the votes. I wonder what we can do about that? Any ideas??? We all know the Bush’s know how to make those voting machines say what they want them to say.

    Debra said she was pretty close, so lets all pray she makes it because if she doesn’t win, we can all know that the trantexas corridor will be done regardless of what Texans want. I live in East Texas and here is where that corridor is coming thru.

  69. connie,

    All we can do is pray, and continue spreading Debra’s videos around for those who don’t know of her yet.

  70. This came into my mind as I was listening to tonight’s news. It about the big bonuses paid to Wall Street due to the munificence of the American taxpayers a/k/a Main Street. This is a germ of the thought, pick it apart if you would like it is just a thought. Many states have lotteries which benefit schools, education, etc. I have yet to think of a state lottery that went “dirty”. What if each state had a mortgage lottery? The funds generated less the prize, administration could be used to generate dollars for mortgages. I would do it the old-fashioned way 20 per cent down, current interest rate, that way it would cut out Wall Street corruption and the state would have income coming in, plus generate some competition. The states-counties, municipalities, cities issue the building permits and when all of this mess defaulted the states got penalized anyway. Just the beginning of a thought-pick apart-let me know what you think.

  71. Half of America blames Obama for loss of rights

    ‘That’s after a month where almost nothing happened in Washington’

    A new poll reveals that Americans believe their freedoms are continuing to slip away under President Obama, with more than 49 percent reporting some or big decreases in their personal freedoms under his leadership this month.

    http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=125979

  72. Valerie and Obama 2 pushy slumlords from the cesspool of corruption the South side of Chicago. America’s happiest days will be when the two of you are in jail for fraud, theft and God knows how many other crimes against humanity. These are inhumane living condition, how many small children and others killed by these living conditions,unnecessary hospital trips? In 20 years Obama couldn’t figure out his mistakes in Chicago, or was he too busy stealing the taxpayers money. Crooked yes, intelligent-I don’t think so, every time he attempts to speak in longer than 3 words- for example hope and change he has a problem. Whole sentences and paragraphs can be a killer.
    http://yidwithlid.blogspot.com/2010/02/blog-post_23.html
    Americans are Idiots: She agrees with one questioner that maybe the administration should create “the dummies guides to the issues Obama is talking about. Because the people only understand simple things like “Hope and Change” but could never understand complicated issues like “cloture.” Sorry Valerie, but even “us common folk” can count to 60.
    Tea Parties are Anti Government Activists Who Are Trying to Scare People. No Valerie, Anarchists are anti government. Tea Party activists are very pro-government, the constitutional government formed by our founders. By the way, Boris Karloff tried to scare people, Tea Parties try to tell people the truth, its only scary to the people who want to hide the truth.
    President Obama’s Intelligence is a Burden Because it Enables Him to See His Mistakes Right Away. Man, sometimes this stuff writes itself, but I will try and take the high road. Ms Jarret, if the POTUS was able to see his mistakes right away, his skin wouldn’t be so dammed thin and he would have recognized by now that the surge worked.
    The arrogance of this administration is simply incredible. Never before has there been a White House with such a low opinion of the American people and such a high opinion of themselves. They should remember Pride Go-ith before the Mid Term Elections. Watch the full video below.

  73. On our news tonight they said something re: poisoned pet food, lead in toys, and the bad Chinese wallboard-then they said Juicyjuice-so I looked it up and this is what it says. What are naturalized Chinese Americans trying to tell us?
    http://fredfryinternational.blogspot.com/2007/07/juicy-juice-now-from-china.html
    Product of China?, June 9, 2007 – I bought some juicy juice from Target recently. It had “Product of China” on the package. I won’t take the risk of giving Juicy Juice to my children let alone given all the recent problems coming out of China involving poisened pet food, toothpaste, etc. Why take the risk? People from China living in the U.S. would rather not eat or drink anything from China. Take it from me – I am Chinese and all of my Chinese friends say the same thing

  75. Windfall Tax on Retirement Income

    Adding a tax to your retirement is simply another way of saying to the American people, you’re so darn stupid that we’re going to keep doing this until we drain every cent from you. That’s what the Speaker of the House is saying. Read below…………….

    Nancy Pelosi wants a Windfall Tax on Retirement Income. In other words tax what you have made by investing toward your retirement. This woman is a nut case! You aren’t going to believe this.

    Madam speaker Nancy Pelosi wants to put a Windfall Tax on all stock market profits (including Retirement fund, 401K and Mutual Funds!) Alas, it is true – all to help the 12 Million Illegal Immigrants and other unemployed Minorities!

    This woman is frightening.
    She quotes…’ We need to work toward the goal of equalizing income, (didn’t Marx say something like this?), in our country and at the same time limiting the amount the rich can invest.’ (I am not rich, are you?)

    When asked how these new tax dollars would be spent, she replied:
    ‘We need to raise the standard of living of our poor, unemployed and minorities. For example, we have an estimated 12 million illegal immigrants in our country who need our help along with millions of unemployed minorities. Stock market windfall profits taxes could go a long way to guarantee these people the standard of living they would like to have as ‘Americans’.’
    (Read that quote again and again and let it sink in.) ‘Lower your retirement, give it to others who have not worked as you have for it’…

    Send it on to your friends. I just did!! This lady is out of her mind and she is the speaker of the house!

  76. Newsbusters: MSNBC and CNBC contributor Donny Deutsch used racially charged language on Monday night, smearing Republican senatorial candidate Marco Rubio as a “coconut.” Deutsch appeared on HLN’s Joy Behar Show and used the word, which both the New York Times and Urban Dictionary define as a “person who is tan on the outside” and “white on the inside.”

  78. another idea, that came from a reader of this blog- people refuse to file 1040, until they get verification of legitimacy of the president with real BC and not stolen social security numbers

    Posted on | February 23, 2010 | No Comments

    Dr. Orly after you review the draft letter I sent you let me know what you think or any changes I need to make to it.

    I believe if more people would take a stand and refuse to complete and file a 1040 till Obama proves he is Constitutionally qualified to hold office of President. If it went to Court then each person would have to have standing.

    Just to give you some thoughts on the matter.

  80. @The South,
    Medina is at 63% right now in the previous poll.

  81. South this for you,Gov Perry there are 4 parts

  82. We are in trouble…

    The population of this country is 300 million.

    160
    million are retired.

    That leaves 140 million to do the work.

    There are 85 million in school.

    Which leaves 55 million to do the work.

    Of this there are 35 million employed by the federal government.

    Leaving 20 million to do the work.

    2.8 million are in the armed forces preoccupied with killing Osama
    Bin-Laden.

    Which leaves 17.2
    million to do the work.

    Take from that total the 15.8
    million people who work for state and city
    Governments. And that
    leaves 1.4 million to do the work.

    At any given time there are 188,000 people in hospitals.

    Leaving
    1,212,000 to do the work.

    Now, there are 1,211,998 people in prisons.

    That leaves just two people to do the work.

    You and me.

    And there
    you are,

    Sitting at your computer, reading jokes…

    Nice. Real nice.

  83. Advice for lawmakers: Start over on healthcare

    Increasing the quality of care while decreasing costs should be the underlying objective of any health care reform proposal. But the left’s current proposals achieve neither objective, argue Heritage experts Jason Fodeman and Robert Book. In fact, the left’s plans dramatically bend the cost curve up and drive the quality of care down.

    Reforming Medicare, Medicaid, and tax laws affecting health insurance would all help to reduce spending without compromising the quality of care. These reforms would also help pave the way for an insurance market that promotes choice and rewards cost-efficient care.

    Everyone else, thanks for supporting Debra Medina in the online polls, it makes a difference.

    The more people who haven’t voted yet see her leading in the online polls, the probability of them voting for her at the booth increases dramatically.

    Everyone wants to be part of the winning team, so lets keep Debra winning until March 2, 2010 at 7:01 PM.

    If she wins Texas, this will be a huge blow to the Bilderberg’s and the NWO.

    She’s gonna clean up Texas, and other Governors around the country will follow her lead.

  90. Goodnight all !!

  91. Is this right?

    Twenty senators were supporting the public option when they signed the letter to Reid asking for reconciliation. That is, they supported the idea of reconciliation only because they want the public option.

    Today, the WH said the public option is out because o.’s plan won’t pass with the public option in.

    This just gets better and better.

    The best thing o. could do for himself is to drop healthcare, period. I’m glad to see he’s still intent on banging his head against the brick wall.

    When will the dems see through o.’s tricks and stop allowing themselves to be used by him and his cronies. They don’t seem to have a spark of even self-preservation left.

  92. The thing is, ol Bully Boy BO, the dead issue of the deathfare mess won’t pass without those 20 senators, either.

    Yep. Looks like lose/lose for youse.

    Oh. And I hear at least 37 states are opting out of your plan anyway. They are actually acting according to the will of the people, something you have not yet done. Besides, no state can afford this.

    (Yes. We know you are all about the destruction of America, but WE aren’t.)

    Besides, no one has to implement an unconstitutional law.

    Given the polls, the very vocal outcry of the people, the blights on dem re-election bids, the MA election, and other unavoidable signals, how can any dem BELIEVE that their constituents think that anything is better than nothing?

    Hey, Dems! Hint: Voting yes on anything healthcare at this point is FAILURE. Siding with o. on anything is toxic.

    Distancing yourself as far as possible from o’s illegitimate an unconstitutional “administration” is the best thing you can do for yourself and for your family.

    Oh, one more thing I just can’t hold back.

    You folks who even consider bilking the generations to whom America owes everything, out of their well-deserved health care benefits are a disgrace, period . . . to your families, to your offices, to your country, to your positions in the media.

    Our great-greats, greats, and grandparents, who literally laid down their lives with blood, sweat, and tears to sow the prosperity we now enjoy (and take for granted) deserve to be valued, to be honored and to retain their well-earned health care benefits.

    It’s our turn to give back to them in their old age from the fruits of their own labors.

    To calmly discuss a plan to rip these people off –without loudly and thoroughly rejecting such an idea — is the lowest of the low.

    Perhaps you, yes, even you in the media, have turned into cold-hearted, inhuman marketing units, but we, the people, have not.

    We LOVE our forebears. We honor them for their commitment to our families and to our country. We recognize their sacrifices to make a better life for us. We value them and care about them.

    At the deepest level, I am ashamed of you. What thankless wretches you all have become.

    You would destroy your own kith and kin in order to blindly follow a megalomaniac who has nothing but hatred and contempt for you. I, personally, see nothing good, or even human, in such action.

    I have heard that with the young set, o. is becoming known as the (great) grandma and (great) grandpa killer. What a legacy, huh?

    Atlas Endorsement: Joel Pollak, Illinois

    I pegged Pelosi from day one! You need only to watch her insane facial expressions to realise that she is just that. She lives in a continuous POWER INTOXICATION, and hasn’t got past that since day one. In short she is derranged. If military officers are requireq to have periodic fitness exams, why the hell are people in her position exempted. Had this been the case she would have been removed long ago. She is a pyranoid schizophrenic. It shows big time!

    I agree. No doubt you’ve had her pegged from Day 1!

    Seems to me there are many in the current administration who could use mental fitness exams…wonder if this is a “progressive” disease since they all seem to have it…lol

    Happy Day…Linda

    PS Please keep educating the masses on Ms. Pelousy…hopefully, many candidates will play the “Pelosi Card” in the 2010 elections. She could prove useful yet!

    Hope you are looking at a nicer day than I am. I used to live just off of Flatbush Ave in Brooklyn.

    Why? What’s up with your weather?

    We are anticipating a snowstorm tomorrow and Friday, but today will just be cloudy and damp. Not helping me heal, that’s for sure.

    Happy Day…Linda

    Well we thought we were going to get some melt off. I got up this morning and looked out the window to see that we had received some more snow instead. Bad case of cabin fever going. Lots of COFFEE.

    You and me both…cabin fever, that is.

    I have been cooped up for two weeks now after my stunning “flight and flop.” We had a dusting of snow last night, but nothing to write home about. Don’t know what to expect for tomorrow and Friday in the way of accumulations, but am sure to find out soon enough. We have slight melts here and there but for the most part, the snow will remain here until then end of March unless, of course, we have freezing rain…YUK!

    However, cabin fever does become troublesome during the months of February and March…no way to avoid it…unless you go out and make snowmen/women.

    Have a Happy Day, anyway…Linda

    Quiet Libertarian Victories

    Yesterday’s polls were the result of unscientific online voting where a person could vote more than once…notice how they kept changing dramatically once people were aware of the vote?

    Rasmussen’s polls are random samples derived form a pool of “likely voters.” You cannot vote more than once…

    However, I might not agree with his results if he included Dems in the sampling because they would be more likely to skew the results.

    This is a Primary where a Republican candidate will be chosen to run against White, the Democrat. Also, Medina is getting shunned by the Press as if there are only two battling it out instead of three. She is definitely the underdog.

    Wouldn’t it be nice if, against all odds, she beat both of the RINOs?

    Happy Day…Linda

  137. Hi Linda,

    I guess I should have been more specific. I have training in this area, so I’m quite aware of the difficulties with polls.

    It’s true that the numbers shot up. Those were not the numbers I was referencing, but rather previous poll numbers that don’t show the large discrepancy. Also as I noted yesterday Rasmussen had promised to post numbers much earlier and didn’t. Instead they waited for Beck to do his shtick and then post the numbers.

    I was trying to bring attention to the shenanigans
    to light. Thanks.
