The arrogant power grab of the President

[Guest guest]

Dear All,

 

 

 

Please,

Call your senators and reps and tell them not to vote for the "health" bill,

and to vote "NO! Hell NO!"

 

Yours in Knowledge, Health & Freedom,

Dear Supporter,

 

The president was at it again today, ignoring the will of the people

and insisting on shoving his health care plan down the throats of the

American public. In his latest plea, President Obama called for an "up

or down" vote on his plan, claiming all the best ideas from both sides

of the aisle have been incorporated and that the debate is now over.

 

In reality, the president's plan is essentially the Senate-passed bill

with a few minor tweaks to appease House Democrats. Right now the only

bipartisan agreement that exists on health care is opposition

to the current plan. Someone should tell the president you can put

lipstick on a pig, but it's still a pig.

 

As for an "up or down vote" -- well, that's just a cynical euphemism

that the president is using to describe a parliamentary trick known as

reconciliation that numerous Democratic senators (including

then-Senator Obama) denounced only a few years ago as an "arrogant

power grab against the Founders' intent."

 

Call your

Congressman now and tell them to oppose this arrogant

power grab!

 

Both as a candidate and as president, Barack Obama has acknowledged

the necessity of gathering 60 votes to pass major legislation,

specifically condemning the 50-plus-1 strategy of governing.

 

Ultimately, though, the president's push for reconciliation is a

distraction from the bigger picture. Before the Senate can act, the

House must first pass the Senate's bill exactly as it was passed on

Christmas Eve, with all its pork-barrel deals for Nebraska, Louisiana,

Connecticut and others. With everything the American people have

already made clear they hate.

 

We can stop this government takeover of health care and all it's

cynical Washington politics in one fell swoop by stopping the House

from passing the Senate health care bill. Call your

Congressman now and tell them we need to start over and

get health care right.

 

Sincerely,
