Be Sure Thank your Congressional Reps For Obamacare
The votes are in, and Obamacare passed using the so-called "nuclear option" of a reconciliation vote, without a single Republican in favor of the bill, and 34 Democrats voting against our slide into tyranny.
The New York Times has publicized a helpful list of who cast their votes for continued freedom and who voted to force you into socialized medicine, raise your taxes, and create more unemployment.
Be sure you thank them in person.
I had no idea that to pass a bill in America it must be supported by at least a single Republican. Where is that in the Constitution?
Posted by: salvage at March 22, 2010 08:13 AMStrawman alert. Nobody said a bill had to be supported by both parties.
However, common sense would dictate that $2.4 trillion in new spending would have popular support and the means to pay for it. This bill has neither.
By the way, you can thank those Democrats who didn't vote for it but don't ever give them your vote again. This rogue party hell bent on giving us a bankrupt socialist state needs to be ejected from power.

Posted by: Dude at March 23, 2010 12:05 PMMy suggestion is that since the Democrats now own both health care and higher education we direct all future complaints about the level of service to their offices and I do mean all complaints.

Many of the Democrats who voted No waited until it was clear the votes were there to pass the bill before making their announcement. They are not to be trusted.
In addition to calling your Congressman or Senator every time you have a headache or stub a toe, call them about every problem at the local college, too. They bought both industries, so let them handle all possible complaints.
I am also writing my Archbishop. It is time to deny communion to all the Catholics who voted for this bill.
