Democrats Healthcare Flowchart when ObamaCare is Forced Upon Us

The Cap-n-Trade Eight; GOP Turncoats were Exactly the Number Needed to Make Your Taxes Higher!

U.S. Congress: Responsibility. Accountability and Experience Wanted!

While 44 Democrats were smart enough to know that the Pelosi-pushed, Waxman-Markey Bill, aka American Clean Energy and Security Act, aka Cap-n-Trade, aka ACES, aka Safe Climate Act, aka H.R. 2454, was a raw deal for taxpayers and will likely result in the failures of energy companies (like regional electric and gas) across the nation, apparently these eight Republicans In Name Only (RHINO's) didn't get the message that our party is the one of *LESS* Government and *MORE* free-market.

This bill passed in the US Congress last Friday by a vote of 219 to 212.

This bill is supposedly aimed at reducing the "ficticious" greenhouse gases and "ficticious" global warming effect that the Democrats (most of them anyway) cling to as the 21st Century's elusive boogeyman now that George Bush is gone from office.

Even Greenpeace opposes this bill! Naturally, they want it MORE restrictive, but for "good" reasons that reduce the big industry's influence on the government for example.

This bill is nothing more than a power grab and further loss of your rights and control over your government as we hand it over to special interests groups.

The costs have to measure up to the benefits. This bill is ambiguous and ridiculously expensive to implement! The estimated total effect of this single bill is projected as high as $3,000 PER FAMILY PER YEAR.

Vehicles that are over 25 years old are exempt from emmisions standards for example. So a truck older than 1984 can belch anything into the air I guess. Most neighborhood UPS trucks are from the 1960's by the way! SUV's have to get a whopping 18 MPG- many already do- "Where's the Beef?"

The reality is that the REST of the world will not censure anything and they are growing at a 5:1 pace compared to the USA in both population and industrial polluters (pollution= bad for the environment, air quality, toxins in water and other things that Republicans ARE in fact fighting to fix.)

And even IF the whole world did these energy production mandates, it is estimated that the net effect at the END of the 21st Century would be ... two-tenths of one degree Celsius!

The cost to your family in the first year in electric bills alone? The EPA says up to $140 and we know where their loyalties lay.

You know what else outpaced us 5:1? The number of Democrats breaking from their caucus to vote against this bill! Had the eight listed below simply done the right thing, we wouldn't have this ADDITIONAL liberal headache looming in our children's future.

Hate the Cap-n-Trade bill? Blame a Republican this time.... Vote them out in November 2010 so that these turncoat Republicans can go the way of the Dodo bird just as fast as your family's savings accounts dwindled when Obama's out-of-control spending plans launched our children into $35,000 EACH in debt to pay companies like AIG, Chrysler, GM and the rest of the crooks in corporate America who propped up this novice into office for their personal gain.

Why the Democrats Want You to Believe We Live In A Democracy

By LIZ SIDOTI, Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON – In a swift victory for President Barack Obama, the Democratic-controlled House approved a historically huge $819 billion stimulus bill Wednesday night with spending increases and tax cuts at the heart of the young administration's plan to revive a badly ailing economy. The vote was 244-188, with Republicans unanimous in opposition despite Obama's frequent pleas for bipartisan support.

"This recovery plan will save or create more than three million new jobs over the next few years," the president said in a written statement released moments after the House voted. Still later, he welcomed congressional leaders of both parties to the White House for drinks as he continued to lobby for the legislation.

Earlier, Obama declared, "We don't have a moment to spare" as congressional allies hastened to do his bidding in the face of the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression. The vote sent the bill to the Senate, where debate could begin as early as Monday on companion measure already taking shape. Democratic leaders have pledged to have legislation ready for Obama's signature by mid-February.

A mere eight days after Inauguration Day, Speaker Nancy Pelosi said the events heralded a new era. "The ship of state is difficult to turn," said the California democrat. "But that is what we must do. That is what President Obama called us to do in his inaugural address."

With unemployment at its highest level in a quarter-century, the banking industry wobbling despite the infusion of staggering sums of bailout money and states struggling with budget crises, Democrats said the legislation was desperately needed.

"Another week that we delay is another 100,000 or more people unemployed. I don't think we want that on our consciences," said Rep. David Obey, D-Wis., chairman of the House Appropriations Committee and one of the leading architects of the legislation.

Republicans said the bill was short on tax cuts and contained too much spending, much of it wasteful, and would fall far short of administration's predictions of job creation.

The party's leader, Rep. John Boehner of Ohio, said the measure "won't create many jobs, but it will create plenty of programs and projects through slow-moving government spending." A GOP alternative, comprised almost entirely of tax cuts, was defeated, 266-170. [MORE]

HOPE for CHANGE. I Now Do!

Real HOPE that can change your life comes from inspiration like this. You think we have troubles in Your family? America? The World?

Imagine being born like this, and then look how he celebrates God's glorious gift of life...

Unfortunately, there are those that believe abortion is the answer to having a 'defect' like this. President Obama says he'll sign into law, the Freedom of Choice Act as soon as it's re-drafted in the new 111th congress.

FOCA is a proposed pro-abortion law that would take everything related to abortion away from the states' control such as parental notification, a waiting period to kill your baby, signing release forms, being required to have an ultrasound so you understand that what you're killing is alive already, and many other programs geared to fully educate the mother about her decision. Not one of these things prohibits her from killing her baby, but it does make her pause to understand the risks and the full weight of her decision. After all, there are hundreds of examples where a women DIE from having the procedure. Would they have made the same "choice" if they knew it was going to kill THEM too?

If FOCA passes, people like the man in this video will be most-assuredly killed in their mother's wombs since ultrasounds would easily detect abnormalities. Not the least of those killed would have been born perfectly normal and healthy though.

America has allowed the legal killing of now more than 50,000,000 babies since Roe v. Wade in 1973. That's one abortion every 26 seconds...

Keep REAL HOPE alive! I was inspired by this man's brief speech and I hope you will be too:
