The Senate still has not voted on the Repeal Amendment. Sen. Reid has put up a procedural hurdle that will require the Repeal Amendment to have 60 votes to be attached to the Federal Aviation bill (S 223).
February 2, 2011--Vote is expected around 5-6:00 pm!
HAVE YOU DONE ALL YOU CAN TO INFLUENCE THE SENATE? The time is now to put more pressure on the Senate. We need to know which Senators are willing to vote in favor of the will of the people. We need to know which Senators are willing to stand with the Ruling Elite to prevent the repeal of government controlled health care.
Today we are witnessing a hunkered down, ruling elite minority in the Senate, using procedural "tricks" to prevent the repeal of Obamacare from coming to a vote in the Senate. The American public has consistently expressed its majority opinion in opposition to Obamacare, both before and subsequent to its passage. In November 2010, the American public clearly expressed its opinion in elections in which the President and his party, by his own words, took a "shellacking." That shellacking, in large measure was due to a rejection of Obamacare and the expansive and intrusive approach to government which it represented. Fulfilling a campaign promise, the House of Representatives repealed Obamacare by an overwhelming margin (far more than by the narrow margin by which it originally passed). Two federal courts have ruled that the individual mandate of Obamacare is unconstitutional. Preventing such a vote, and preventing the people from knowing where their own Senators stand on the issue is dishonest, and frankly looks like tyranny to us.
Harry Reid, and the rest of the ruling elite in the Senate are acting like colonial governors prior the Revolutionary War; doing the bidding of King Obama while ignoring the will of the American people. It is time for those governors to respect the will of the American people, and the wisdom of the courts. Thanks to the genius of the Founding Fathers, if they do not do so they will be removed from power; not by a violent revolution, but by the continuation of a peaceful electoral revolution which began in 2010.
