Obama visited my fair state today, struggling to find support for his flagging health care reform scheme. The organizers of the Independence Hall Tea Party Association organized a stop Obamacare Rally outside Arcadia (formerly Beaver) University. Dissent is patriotic, don’t you know!
Saw some familiar faces in this Fox News video of the event at Arcadia (formerly Beaver) University:
White House officials tell ABC News that in his remarks tomorrow President Obama will indicate a willingness to work with Republicans on some issue to get a health care reform bill passed but will suggest that if it is necessary, Democrats will use the controversial “reconciliation” rules requiring only 51 Senate votes to pass the “fix” to the Senate bill, as opposed to the 60 votes to stop a filibuster and proceed to a vote on a bill.

After Obama’s failure to close the deal on health care reform, it is clear that Harry Reid is going to slam this crap sandwich down America’s throat by using a nuclear option of 51 votes for passage in the Senate.
What is still in play is the House, where every member is seeking re-election. Dick Morrishas compiled a list of vulnerable members who voted for Obamacare on the first go around. It is critical for you to call if your representative is listed (mine are) and let them know of your opposition to this scheme.
Rep. Paul Ryan remarks at the bipartisan health care summit held yesterday in Washington DC:
And I’ve got to tell you, the American people are engaged. And if you think they want a government takeover of health care, I would respectfully submit you’re not listening to them. So what we simply want to do is start over, work on a clean- sheeted paper, move through these issues, step by step, and fix them, and bring down health care costs and not raise them.
This is why Scott Brown was elected to fill the vacant Massachusetts Senate seat. The public is engaged in the health care issue and have clearly rejected Obamacare via their votes and their voices. Obama, can you hear us now?
PS: Who cares about his vote in support of a useless jobs bill? He is, after all, a Republican from Massachusetts.

Senator Ben Nelson faced with dismal poll numbers and constituents booing him and his wife out of pizza parlor, Nelson decides to return his ‘Cornhusker Kickback’.
What he wants in return is for all states be given the same sweetheart deal, as reported by Yael T. Abouhalkah, Kansas City Star Editorial Page columnist:
Nelson said in his request to Reid that all states should be treated equally in the future. That could, of course, mean the federal government might pay for all of the increased Medicaid costs for all states, forever.
CBO score, anyone??

Thanks to Senators Reid, Nelson, Casey and Arlen – My dog will have better quality health care than humans covered by Obamacare.

A detrimental health scheme passed in Congress by a smaller margin that Cap & Steal. This indicates that this partisan bill will hopefully meet the same fate as Cap & Steal in the Senate – DOA
Mitch McConnell responds to Pelosi-care:
Rarely has the disconnect between Congress and the American people been clearer than the vote tonight. Americans want lower costs, less government intrusion, a simpler approach and less spending. Instead, the Democrat leadership has just forced through a partisan, 2,000-page bureaucratic monstrosity—a trillion-dollar government experiment that raises premiums, raises taxes and slashes Medicare to create more government programs. That’s not reform.
As this bill moves to the Senate, Republicans will continue to offer commonsense reforms to lower costs and increase access
Schwartz sends goons in her place to Healthcare Townhall hosted by Damian Dachowski.
After receiving no answer from emails requesting town hall health care meeting , I took up Congresswoman Michelle Bachmann’s call to make a house call on our congressional representatives.
Despite less than a week’s notice, up to 50,000 Americans from across the country gathered at the steps of the Capitol Building yesterday to send a message to Congress - ’kill the bill’. Pelosicare is not health care reform, it is a power grab.
I’ve begun posting photos on Flick, you can view them HERE

The Myth of Obamacare - a 'free or low cost' health insurance program for all. Obamacare is less care at higher costs than the average health insurance plan available today.
