A minority in congress plus the American people equals a majority … America, we can win this fight. - Rep. Pence

My Health Care Plan - A good read

Liberals keep complaining that Republicans don’t have a plan for reforming health care in America. I have a plan!

It’s a one-page bill creating a free market in health insurance. Let’s all pause here for a moment so liberals can Google the term “free market.”

Nearly every problem with health care in this country — apart from trial lawyers and out-of-date magazines in doctors’ waiting rooms — would be solved by my plan.

Full Story Here.


Today, the Washington Post reported that House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) said the legislation is “the largest deficit-reduction bill that members will have a chance to vote on” in most of their congressional careers. The package contains “more deficit reduction than both the Senate bill and the House bill,” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said today. “This is really a triumph for the American people in terms of deficit reduction.” The Democratic-controlled House is expected to take action on the bill by Sunday, although Republicans have opposed the measure every step of the way.

But Wait! What Is This?This graph released by the CBO shows that the first 4 years of ObamaCare will only cost $17 Billion, but in the following 6 years will coast $923 Billion. Ten years = $1 Trillion. But you figure it out, does that graph looking like it is going to go down at all after 10 years????? Only looks like it is going to keep going up doesn't it??? And Pelois has the gall to say this is a budget reducing bill. This is not a bill, its madness! It needs to be stopped Sunday!

Just Over The Wire - Cincinnati TeaPart Heading To DC

Dear Fellow Citizens and Taxpayers,
I apologize for the brevity of this email and the lack of details. The House just authorized the "slaughter solution" and the clock is ticking on a vote on the health care bill. The House leadership and Obama are desperately twisting arms and bending the rules in order to round up the votes.
The House will leave the text online for 72 hours and a final vote is likely on Sunday morning. A yes vote would "deem" the Senate bill passed and send changes to the Senate for reconciliation. Obama would be able to sign the original bill into law regardless of what changes are included.
I've been getting emails asking about a trip to D.C. this weekend and our friends at the Cinicinnati 9/12 Project are now working to get buses and hotels booked. I will have more details to follow later including costs and when we are leaving/returning, but I will share what I know right now:
Friday night: Leave from Northeast Cincinnati (targeting 8pm)
Saturday: Lobbying visits at the U.S. Capitol
Saturday Night: Overnight stay at a hotel
Sunday: Join with other Tea Partiers outside of the Capitol during the vote. Return after the vote (estimated return to Cincy between 10pm and 2am depending on when the vote occurs).
I just made arrangements for a babysitter for my kids and my wife and I are going to drive to D.C. on Friday night.
I will share the trip costs and signup info, along with hotel information and logistics info for those who will arrange their own transportation as soon as I have the information. Also, a local event may be planned for Saturday for those who can't make the trip, but the trip to D.C. is far more impactful in the eyes of Congressmen.
Look for another email from me this evening with the details.
Sincerely,
Mike Wilson
Founder, Cincinnati Tea Party

Vote To Be Sunday

WASHINGTON – House Democrats are pushing to the brink of passage a landmark, $940 billion health care overhaul bill that would simultaneously deliver on President Barack Obama's promise to expand coverage while slashing the deficit, a strategy aimed at winning over the party's fiscal conservatives.

Leaving nothing to chance, the White House announced that Obama has put off a trip to Asia for a second time, delaying it until June. Obama was to have left Sunday — when the House is planning to vote.

The Sound of Switchblades Coming Out On Capital Hill

“Mr. President, I send an unprinted Amendment to the desk,”

“Mr. President, I send an unprinted Amendment to the desk, and ask for its immediate consideration,” are the exact words that any U.S. Senator can say when offering this amendment on the floor of the U.S. Senate.

This amendment, below, should be walked down to the floor of the U.S. Senate and voted on prior to any vote on the floor of the U.S. House, in order to prepare the legal battlefield for the court challenge against the Alice-in-Wonderland-like-Red-Queen, Speaker Pelosi, and her dictatorial and unconstitutional scheme to pass the Senate Health Care bill without voting on it. While we are uncertain that we will be fighting on this ground, it is essential to prepare the battlefield, if we do.

A bluff? Or are we prepping an Iran strike?

Is President Obama preparing for a massive strike on the Iranian nuclear program?

The Times of India is reporting that a British company has contracted with the US Navy to deliver 300 "bunker busting" bombs to the British base in Diego Garcia - a staging area for strikes against Iraq in 1991 and 2003.

Along with other signs of increased activity, one analyst who has been tracking US preparations believes that at the very least, President Obama will have the option of striking Iran:

Contract details for the shipment were posted on an international tenders' website by the US navy. "They are gearing up totally for the destruction of Iran," Dan Plesch, director of the Centre for International Studies and Diplomacy at the University of London, said.
"US bombers are ready today to destroy 10,000 targets in Iran in a few hours"
