URGENT: Centrist GOP Senators have power to pass or kill Obamacare!

Most people don’t know this, but Senator Jim DeMint succeeded in passing procedural votes (one by unanimous consent) which bind the Senate to filibuster (60 vote) rules rather than the simple majority requirement of the reconciliation process. Therefore, without Republican complicity and votes, Obamacare would likely be dead in the Senate.

What the negotiating Republican Senators do will determine the end game. The Senators who have the power to see Obama pass or fail are:

• Sen. Grassley (IA)
• Sen. Enzi (WY)
• Sen. Snowe (ME)
• Sen. Collins (ME)
• Sen. Graham (SC)
• Sen. Bennett (UT)

These six Senators should stop negotiating a compromise and let this monstrosity die. The following URGENT actions are needed:

• Visit, call and email YOUR Rep/Senator
• Call and email the six Senators listed above
• Write letters to your local editor and mention the six Senators
• Post reminders about the six on your Facebook, Twitter and social media profiles
• Post reminders about the six on your blog
• E-mail your friends and family and explain the details about these six Senators
• Contact the RNC/GOP and demand they put pressure on the six Senators

We The People employ these elected Senators. It’s our job to demand they do their jobs and look out for the interest of America. (Thanks to Eric Odom of the American Liberty Alliance for the tip)

Obama is not the leader of Obamacare

Chuck Norris is writing a fascinating series exposing the socialism of Obamacare. I found Part 2 particularly interesting:

Dirty secret No. 2 is that Obama is not the leader of Obamacare. And neither is Congress. The one who has been spearheading the initiative behind the scenes is one who goes under the misnomer “adviser” to the Obama administration, Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel, a bioethicist and breast oncologist and brother of White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel. And his bible for health care reform is his book Healthcare, Guaranteed.

IRS to enforce healthcare plan

From the Le·gal In·sur·rec·tion blog:

People often joke that government-run health care will have the efficiency of the motor vehicle department, and the compassion of the Internal Revenue Service. This joke will become reality if present Democratic health restructuring proposals are enacted.

Under both the House and Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) Committee bills released to the public, the Internal Revenue Service will play a key role in monitoring and enforcing health care mandates against individual taxpayers.

Don’t fall for it!

Congressional support for the public option appears to be faltering, but don’t be fooled. It is very likely they will still ramrod it through (they have the votes after all). This talk about a “co-op” compromise involving private insurers is merely a rebranded public option and a diversionary tactic. It’s basically the same thing as the public option.

Focus on the actual contents of the bills in the house.

The Horrible Truth: A Big Part Of Obamacare Has Already Become Law

…as part of the big honkin’ porkulus bill that Congress never even read.

The stimulus bill, besides wasting truckloads of taxpayer money, established “The Federal Coordinating Council For Comparative Effectiveness Research”.

If you have not read this stimulus bill, you should. The Federal Coordinating Council For Comparative Effectiveness Research is established on page 73.
