BREAKING - One Step Closer to Obama's Healthcare
The Liberal Healthcare plan is one step closer to reality. On a rare Saturday night vote the Senate voted 60-39 to take the Healthcare debate to the Senate floor.
FOX News-
"Sweeping health care legislation has cleared its first hurdle in the Senate on a party-line vote.
The 60-39 vote clears the way for a historic debate after Thanksgiving on the legislation. The measure is designed to extend coverage to an estimated 31 million Americans who lack it and crack down on insurance industry practices that deny benefits."
POLITICO-
"Senate Democrats pushed ahead with President Barack Obama’s vision of health reform Saturday night – but at the same time, exposed significant divides in the party that make it all but impossible to complete work on a plan by year’s end.
Democrats voted strictly along party lines, 60 to 39, to send an $848 billion health care bill to the floor after Thanksgiving, but not before a clutch of moderates served notice that they couldn’t back the bill in its current form."

It's time to really put the pressure on, and keep it on...Every Conservative, Libertarian and righter-leaning Democrat had better get on the phone, e-mail and snail mail..."We the People" CANNOT SIT BACK ANYMORE and hope that "someone else" is doing it...every single one of us needs to be a leader!!!

Your reply was so accurate Michele that I wanted to Thank You. It's the fact that people hope someone else is going to do it that is soooo true. I have been urging all my friends to vote
strictly republican ticket in 2010 and any local races. We have to choke Obama or the country
will never be the same.
During the Revolutionary war, I have been told, that only a small percentage were willing to fight
for the cause.
Vote straight ticket on everything and then use the conservative wing to reform. We need a majority first.

MIOCHELEH2o,
YOU ARE SO RIGHT!~!!I GIVE YOU 20 KUDUS OUT OF 20. LET'S MAKE THIS AN ATTACK AS THE LAMEBRAIN LIBERALS HAVE NEVER SEEN IN HISTORY. THE MORE OBAMA LOSES, THE SQUIRRELLYER HE'LL GET. THE MORE WE KICK HIM WHERE IT HURTS, THE MORE MISTAKES HE WILL MAKE, AND MORE OF HIS FAR-LEFT AGENDAS WILL FAIL.

Democrats that voted for this plan are just lambs for the slaughter. Øbama does not care if they get re-elected or not. He is just interested in the power grab, and it might end up in civil disobedience, like when we broke free from England. I am ready to fire the first salvos of the revolt. What is stopping us? I am not a socialist. . .

Keep the motor home stocked and ready to roll dear, just as soon as the first state secedes from the Union.
Texas is plenty big and much of the fence is already built.
What’s left after pleas go unheard or letters go unread by those elected but through the return of favors to others?
Sadly, I fail to see a peaceful resolution to this overbearing tyranny and government out of control.
Yet civility must prevail or even greater things could be lost.
As one tiny and insignificant American, I feel frustrated and helpless----- but only for the moment.
Sometimes it’s difficult to catch a breath in all this!
Festina lente y inteligente.

Hey everyone come on down to Texas and lets see if we can get Gov Perry to go ahead and secede.
Montana and several other states have said they will also if Texas does. I know that there are a lot of us down here that are ready to do it and then finish the fence along our border even though our Gov doesnt want it totally.
