The National Republican Congressional Committee released a new health care clock on www.NRCC.org, counting down the time until the official floor vote on the Pelosi government takeover of health care bill. According to the bipartisan “72-hour resolution,” all non-emergency legislation must be posted on the Internet at ...least 72 hours prior to consideration by the House. The countdown demonstrates that in order to finish reading the 1990-page bill in its entirety within the 72-hour time period, one must average reading a page of dense legislative language every two minutes.Read More

House Republican Study Committee Chairman Tom Price commented yesterday after the President signed into law an expansion of federal hate crimes statutes: "If we subject certain motives to harsher punishment on the basis of thoughts and attitudes, we are placing a higher value on some victims than on others who were sub...ject to similar illegal acts. In effect, we are saying some Americans are more worthy of legal protection than others. That is both misguided and unconstitutional."Read More

According to Politico, "at a closed-door meeting of GOP senators this month, a tirade by Oklahoma Sen. Tom Coburn about the hypocrisy of using deficits to decry Democratic health care plans while voting for pumped-up appropriations bills was seconded by several senators... Said Sen. Saxby Chambliss, 'I’m fresh off a ve...ry tough election, and the No. 1 issue was the fact that we’re spending way too much money in Washington.' "Read More

Deficits are not the only reason to vote against Obamacare. Nor are they the most important. Freedom from oppressive government is a much stronger reason.

Yes, and they shouldn't be voting for those pumped up appropriation bills either...for the same reason.

This summer, Minnesotans, like most Americans, spoke out against the
Democrats' plan for a government takeover of health care. Even though
the President last year promised voters that health care reform would
be discussed out in the open, saying "we will have negotiations
televised on C-SPAN," a handful of Democrat leaders... are meeting behind
closed doors to finalize a government takeover of health care that
would be devastating for small businesses and working families. Americans deserve to know: What are they trying to hide?

John Kline Most of us agree that tax relief for small businesses is fundamental to any economic recovery plan. Unfortunately, Congressional Democrats don't feel the same way. On CNBC, Speaker Pelosi said that eliminating tax relief already in place "isn't a tax increase, it is eliminating a tax decrease that was there." You can watch the video by visiting the link below.

John Kline Earlier this year, the White House predicted that the so-called stimulus passed in February would create or save 66,000 Minnesota jobs. On Saturday, state officials reported that just 11,800 jobs were "saved" or "created" by the stimulus. As reports clearly show, the only place in America solidly on track to meet the Administration's job creation projection is Washington, D.C.
