Conrad: Hey, Who’s Up for Changing the Bill?
You’re shitting me. I mean, you’re fucking kidding me, right? Does Conrad know it’s not April 1st? “I have asked the House of Representatives to remove this provision. The fact is the Bank of North Dakota is a unique entity – it is the only state-owned bank in the nation. It has not engaged in [...]
Update: Cao Will Oppose Abortion Funding
18. March 2010
The only Congressional Republican to support government-run health care in November, Rep. Joseph Cao (R-LA), will vote against the legislation this time around. His reason? The Senate version, which the House will vote on this Sunday, provides federal funding for voluntary abortion procedures. Cao, unlike many allegedly pro-life Democrats in the House, resisted any arm-twisting [...]
Kildee (D-MI) Breaks, To Vote For Federal Abortion Funding
18. March 2010
Rep. Dale Kildee (D-MI) has bowed to pro-abortion forces, deciding to vote in favor of federal funding for abortions and major cuts to Medicare. Which is all to say he’ll support the government-run health care legislation before the House of Representatives. Kildee, a Roman Catholic, graduated from Sacred Heart Seminary and supposedly believes in the [...]

18. March 2010
We’ve already heard reports that Reps. John Tanner (D-TN) and Bart Gordon (D-TN) will switch their “no” votes to “yes” in exchange for appointments as NASA administrator and NATO ambassador, respectively. Now there are rumblings that Rep.

Markey (D-CO) To Vote “Yes” On Government-Run Health Care
18. March 2010
Representative Betsy Markey (D-CO) will side with Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama over her constituents, voting “yes” on $940 billion government-run health care legislation. Markey represents a Republican-leaning district and ran as fiscally responsible in 2008. Clearly she lied to her voters, and this position is likely to cost her re-election in November. How long [...]
Reports: Two Democrats Get Federal Appointments for “Yes” Votes
18. March 2010
Reports indicate that two House Democrats, Reps. Barton Gordon (D-TN) and John Tanner (D-TN), have been promised major federal positions in exchange for their “yes” votes on government-run health care. The promises would amount to bribery. Gordon, who just announced today that he would support the $940 billion legislation, is reportedly in line for a [...]
Bart Gordon (D-TN) Sells Out Constituents
18. March 2010
Unfortunately, the alleged Blue Dog no longer cares about the wishes of his constituents. He decided against running for re-election in November so he’s telling those who supported him to go to hell. He might not care, but you can release your stress by calling his D.C. office here: (202) 225-4231. Note to Gordon: If [...]
Will Joseph Cao (R-LA) Vote for Abortion Funding?
18. March 2010
Will Representative Joseph Cao (R-LA) vote for taxpayers to fund voluntary abortion procedures and to gut Medicare? That’s the concern floating around now after Cao met with Barack Obama today. Cao is reportedly considering casting a “yes” vote on the $940 billion legislation, which cuts Medicare by several hundred billion dollars and provides federal taxpayer [...]
La Raza Announces Opposition To Obamacare
18. March 2010
La Raza, the nation’s largest Hispanic advocacy group, has announced its opposition to the government-run health care legislation before the House of Representatives. This comes after members of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus threatened to vote against the legislation without major changes. Those changes won’t be coming. Meanwhile, in what is perhaps the worst timing of [...]
Phone Melt: Keep Up The Pressure
18. March 2010
We’re coming down to the wire, with government-run health care coming up for a vote in the House of Representatives in less than 72 hours. In the short period of time ahead we need to not only gain additional “no” votes but maintain the ones we already have. Which means we need to keep up [...]
