Senate to Vote on Funding the President’s Health Care Law
September 19, 2012 at 1:42 pm in News, ObamaCare by Dustin Siggins 3 Comments
As most of you are aware, last week the House of Representatives voted to send a six-month Continuing Resolution (CR) to the Senate. Unfortunately, the CR – which passed by a margin of 329-91 – included full funding for the Affordable Care Act.
Now this terrible bill is in the Senate, where it is expected to pass on Wednesday. This is outrageous. Only 91 Representatives stood with the American people against the President’s health care law, and now it appears similar ratios of Senators – Republicans and Democrats alike – are going to ignore the wishes of their constituents.
Tea Party Patriots opposed this CR because of its inclusion of funding for the President’s health care law. However, Members of Congress – allegedly representing you in Washington – couldn’t even vote to pluck the “low-hanging fruit” in the CR. Never mind the fact that we need major structural changes in federal spending; when our “leaders” support legislation
The Senate has done very little good or right in the 112th Congress. Much of this is the fault of the Senate Majority Leader, who has done things like refuse to do his legal duty and pass a federal budget. This is a chance for the “upper chamber” of Congress to actually do something right. Patriots are encouraged to call (202) 224-3121 and ask to speak to their Senator. With an election around the corner, many Senators are more than ready and willing to listen the concerns of constituents. If grassroots activists can’t convince them to do the right thing out of principle, we’ll just have to do it through fear of losing their seats.

They need to oppose this bill. About Romneys comments…we’ve been saying the same thing. The middle class are the ones that need more help than the rich or poor. The rich only worry about making more money and the poor already get alot of help and i’m sure there are other ways that can help them without costing alot of money. But the middle class and retirees need the most help. They are the backbone of America. Hard workers that always always get taxed on top of tax. It’s horrible. They need to stop worrying about special interest groups and just do the right thing. I’m so SCARED about Obama getting back in because he’s trying to make us like other countries. This is a FREE society at the moment anyway but he is deminishing that little by little. If you try to take from the rich & distribute it to the poor then workers will decide not to work anymore because it is just taken from them and given to someone else. Then they will just decide to be on the recieving end and what do we have? A DICTATORSHIP! I speak for many Americans…we are worried about our country and no longer having that American dream for our grandchildren.
I would just like to let you know that the Affordable Care Act does not require any additional congressional action with regard to funding. This article is just another example of you listening to propaganda designed to enhance your hate of President Obama and solidify your support of Romney, who, when talking to his rich friends, doesn’t give two hoots in hell about you or your problems.
Learn to think for yourself.
While I may not like R. Tresch’s choice of language, I do agree that there is a problem among the Republican party. Mitchell talks out both sides of his mouth. When speaking to the republican base the rallying cry is repeal repeal repeal ! ! ! However on Meet the Press Sunday Sept. 9, 2012 he said there were ‘a number of things I like in healthcare reform that I’m going to put in place.’ So tell us Mitchell, exactly what are these “reforms”, what will they cost, how will YOU suggest we fund them, what cuts in Medicare, Medicaid, and other social programs will YOU propose ? Romney, the Republican Party and this web site all say repeal “Obama care” but are quite silent about details on what you’ll replace it with, how you’ll pay for it, and if you’ll do anything at all. I’m sure that most don’t care if the poor have health care, after all they are just a drain on those who are productive members of society. Aren’t we better off without the poor, disabled and elderly being a tax burden on the rest of us ? ( This is what you feel isn’t it ? )
