Catching President Obama in a lie 40 Likeminded Democrats’ Will Vote to Kill Health Bill if it Doesn’t Get Floor Vote on Pro-Life Amendment

Again showing they will do and say anything to pass a version of socialized health care, we have the so-called bastion of integrity, President Obama, now caught in a hair splitting lie...

Rep. Bart Stupak (D.-Mich.) told CNSNews.com that President Barack Obama told him in a telephone conversation that when he said in his Sept. 9 speech to a joint session of Congress that “under our plan no federal dollars will be used to fund abortions” he was not talking about the actual bill drafted in the House but about the president’s own health care plan—which has never been written.

Can somebody call Rep. Charlie Wilson -- he may have a couple words about this!

Seeing that he has been lied to, Rep. Stupak is throwing in a well needed monkey wrench of the plans for ramming any version of the Health Care bill through the House....

Rep. Bart Stupak (D.-Mich.) told CNSNews.com yesterday that he has organized a group of “about 40 likeminded Democrats” who will vote to kill the health-care bill if House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D.-Calif.) does not allow a floor vote on his amendment to prohibit federal funds from going to insurance plans that cover abortion.

Under Stupak’s plan, the approximately 40 Democrats in his camp would join with all House Republicans in voting to defeat the special House “rule” that would set the terms for debating and amending the health-care bill on the House floor when it is brought up for a final vote. If a majority of the House does not first vote to approve this rule, the health-care bill itself cannot be brought to the floor. (Click here for video).

If this is pulled off and these Democrats are joined by all the House Republicans they will have the 218 votes needed to kill the bill in the House.

We work on getting the names of the 40 House members so calls of support can be made to their offices. But this shows that everyday we keep these bills from moving closer to PBO's desk, more and more people are coming out against the way these bills are being cobbled together with half truths and lies.

Pelosi now playing word games on "Public Option"

The wicked progressive witch of the west, Speaker Ninny Pelosi, is out trying to fool the public over the "public option" being pushed in the House & Senate versions of the proposed health care bills.

True to progressive form, and much like this past presidential election, the left is not above spinning the truth in their push for government run health care....

A government-sponsored "public option" for health care lives, though it may be more attractive to skeptics if it goes by a different moniker, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Monday.

In an appearance at a Florida senior center, the Democratic leader referred to the so-called public option as "the consumer option." Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla., appeared by Pelosi's side and used the term "competitive option."

"You'll hear everyone say, 'There's got to be a better name for this,'" Pelosi said. "When people think of the public option, public is being misrepresented, that this is being paid for with their public dollars." (Breitbart)

Huh... unless they plan on buying more green ink from Office Max for printing more money -- I wonder exactly what dollars will be used to pay for this public option? Obama Money? Monopoly money?

No matter where the dollars come from, no matter what they call the dollars -- one way or the other it will be coming out of our pockets. But while there plans for government run health care are slowly falling apart -- they will say or do anything for passing their socialized health care proposals.

All of our calls, faxes, letters, rallies have slowed the passing of these bills -- they are on the ropes and we must push even harder now if we want to stop this. We can do it! Their scrambling is proof we have them on the ropes! It is only with more calls, more letter, more faxes & more rallies that we can do this.

Remember, every day we keep any version of the government run health care bill one step farther away from the insidious inking it will get if it reaches President Obama's desk -- we are winning daily victories.

Patriot Alert: Left is Pushing House Members for Public Option

Patriots,

We all know NOW is crunch time if we are going to stop a government take over of our health care system. Proving the administration is worried, we see them attacking anyone, from the insurance companies and the U. S. Chamber of Commerce, that is not supportive of their now estimated at $1 Trillion effort of further destroying our economy with government run health care.

I do not know how much more clear this could be... if we do not make little sacrifices and attend the rallies hosted by Tea Party Patriot groups, if we do not make the calls and send the letters to the 13 Senators and ask to vote for No Cloture (click here), if we do not pressure the Blue Dogs in the House (click here), if we do not continue this fight with every once of energy we have -- you can be sure -- the government will take over our health care system much like they did many of the banks and auto industry.

We want to thank fellow Tea Party Patriot and 9.12 member Paula for sending us this link from a Daily KOS blogger about a post on Open Left urging progressives to contact targeted House members.

From Open Left --

I am receiving new information tonight that the House DOES NOT have 218 "solid' yes votes for health care reform with a Medicare +5% public option. Representative John Larson's claim earlier today that the House had the votes appear to have included at least 12, and as many as 15, Representatives who are "lean yes" votes.

Further, I am told that if the leadership does not confirm 218 "solid" yes votes by the end of the 9:30 a.m. Democratic caucus meeting tomorrow morning, they will probably include the negotiated rate public option in the bill that is sent to the floor, not the Medicare +5% public option. At the very latest, we have until 2 p.m. to get the votes.

Notice the House members from OH leaning yes and one undecided! We must melt their fax machines and shut down their phone systems with calls!

If we are going to win, and I believe we can, we must stop 'talking' about our Founding Fathers and start making the sacrifices they made on our behalf! The future of our country and our children are depending on us.

Hope to see you this Monday 10/26/09 from 3pm - 5:30pm at the Health Care Rally at the Cleveland Clinic II. Click here for more details.

Tuesday, October 27, 2009 - MELT THE PHONE LINES DAY

Attend the Medina Tea Party Patriots Health Care Forum (Click for details)

Tea Party Patriots will be making calls all day long to targeted elected officials asking them to vote no on government takeover of health care. Be prepared to make calls today. We want to melt the phone lines and make sure the staffers hear us.

Targeted Senators
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We are including the DC office phone numbers and fax numbers below in case you would also like to call and fax directly to the Senators.

IMPORTANT TIP REGARDING PHONE CALLING FROM A FELLOW TEA PARTY PATRIOT:

When you call the Senators or Congressmen's offices, identify yourself as a Tea Party Patriot then leave a message telling why you are asking them to vote NO on government takeover of health care and cap and trade, ask the staffer to read the message back to you. One lady found last week that the staffer only took the message, "Vote no on health care reform."

The lady said she is in favor of health care reform but not in favor of the government taking it over. She asked the staffer to listen to her again and take the correct message. It may take you a little more time but it might be worth it to insure that the message is taken correctly.

PriceWaterhouseCooper released an independent study of the Senate Finance Committee version of the government takeover of health care bill. The study showed that American family's budgets will be severely impacted by the bill and that health insurance premiums will increase dramatically. You may wish to read the study and use this as supporting documentation when you contact the Senators.

Have the Tea Party Patriots been issued a challenge?

Patriots while temporarily halting the country killing initiatives of Cap & Trade and any one of the health care proposals, we must know our hardest work is yet to come. You can be assured, since we slammed the front door shut, they will be coming through the back door, down the chimney, through the window and up through the cracks in the floor boards in creative ways of enacting as much as they can with this legislative larceny.

Patriots we know more than 6 people showed for the D.C. 9.12 event like the media is inaccurately reporting, we know had it not been for the efforts of all the groups involved in this struggle -- Cap & Trade, along with a terrible health care reform would have been forced upon the American public several months ago.

Our resolve must not and must never waiver! This is what some are anticipating and it sounds as if our hearts, souls, & commitment are being challenged.

From Bloomberg.com --

President Barack Obama told a group of Democratic Party donors in San Francisco he’s determined to outlast his critics to move ahead on his agenda, including revamping the health-care system and financial regulations.

“Some of our opponents think they are going to wear us down,” Obama said at a fundraiser for the Democratic National Committee last night at the Westin St. Francis Hotel in San Francisco. “I’m not tired, I’m refreshed.”

Patriots -- are you ready to meet this challenge head on? Let's send the message in our October Surprise... Like our Colors, Patriots don't run!
