Repeal ObamaCare War Room

 

Repeal is real!  On January 19th, as its first major act, the new Republican majority in the U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill to COMPLETELY REPEAL OBAMACARE! 
The bipartisan, 245-189 House vote for repeal was historic and unprecedented. 
Building on that momentum, on February 2nd, Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) forced the Senate to vote on the full repeal bill (dubbed the McConnell Amendment).  Unfortunately, Democrats narrowly defeated the amendment on a straight party-line vote: 51 Democrats voted no, 47 Republicans voted yes, and 2 Democrats were absent (but would probably have voted no).  We need 4 Senate Democrats to switch sides in a future vote to have a majority in both chambers.
FreedomWorks’ network of over 1 million grassroots activists is leading the fight for health care freedom with a nationwide campaign of emails, phone calls to Congress, and district office visits to support the repeal of Obamacare and its replacement with a patient-centered approach.
Meanwhile, two federal district courts (one in Virginia, one in Florida) have now ruled that Obamacare's individual mandate to purchase health insurance is unconstitutional.  These rulings are a huge vindication for FreedomWorks and other opponents of the individual mandate.  The cases are being appealed, and will probably end up in the U.S. Supreme Court in 2012 or 2013.
Unfortunately, we can't count on the courts to overturn this terrible law.
We need to persuade Congress to pass legislation to fully repeal Obamacare because it will kill jobs, bankrupt the government, drive up everyone's health insurance costs, put bureaucrats in charge of rationing care, and ruin the world's best health care system.
Obamacare was rammed through Congress last year by Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi, without garnering a single Republican vote.  In November, voters gave Republicans majority control of the House of Representatives in large part as a repudiation of the Democrats' arrogant health care legislation. 

Polls have consistently shown that a solid majority of Americans want Washington to reverse the government takeover of health care and adopt a patient-centered approach.  House passage of Full Repeal is just the first step.  We will keep fighting until it's law.

Here's what's happening:  
 1. On January 19th, the House passed the bill H.R. 2, the "Repealing the Job-Killing Health Care Law" Act.  H.R. 2 would repeal Obamacare entirely, as if it had never been passed.  It has gone over to the Senate, where it has been "held at the desk," meaning a handful of Senators can call it up for a full Senate vote at any time during the next two years.  
2.  Sen. Jim DeMint (R-SC) has offered a bill, S.129, that is identical to the House-passed bill, H.R.2.  All 47 Senate Republicans have now cosponsored Sen. DeMint's bill, and all 47 have voted in favor of the bill when it was offered by the Senate Republican Leader, Mitch McConnell (R-KY), as an amendment to an unrelated measure.  Ultimately, we will need 60 votes in the Senate to overcome Sen. Majority Leader Harry Reid's (D-NV) filibuster, pass Full Repeal through the Senate, and put it on President Obama's desk.  In the near term, we need four Senate Democrats to switch sides and join the Republicans on this issue, in order to have a majority in both chambers, which would send shockwaves through the Washington establishment and K Street special interests. Therefore, we need to get as many Democratic Senators to cosponsor S.129 as possible.   Call and write Democratic Senators today, and urge them to cosponsor S.192, the "Repealing the Job-Killing Health Care Law" Act.

Hope and Change: Egypt's New Military Leaders To Ban Unions, Strikes

Is this the kind of democracy the left have been so excited about? It seems that the left can't think through the cause and effect part of policy and politics. We all know what the Muslims will do with freedom and the left-wing in Egypt if they gain power. It's nice to see Obama cheering for the Egyptian people. But I wonder why Obama isn't cheering on the Iranian people? That one has a chance of turning out good for the people and us if that regime falls. I can't figure out why Obama hasn't said anything to promote or nudge the Iranian protesters. It turns out that Wiki leaks outed the US for helping the Egyptian revolution for some time now. That doesn't look good to our friendly nations now does it? But who needs friends when we have so many more enemies now. I sure wish someone would have ask what Obama meant by "Change". It seems that no matter what Obama touches, it turns to crap. We are only starting to find out what this administration has been involved with in the Middle East. It seems that this administration has been community organizing on a global scale. Too bad it hasn't been working out for We the People.
CAIRO - Egypt's new military rulers will issue a warning on Monday against anyone who creates "chaos and disorder", an army source said.
The Higher Military Council will also ban meetings by labor unions or professional syndicates, effectively forbidding strikes, and tell all Egyptians to get back to work after the unrest that toppled Hosni Mubarak.
The army will also say it acknowledges and protects the right of people to protest, the source said.
Protesters argued heatedly in Tahrir Square over whether to stay or comply with army orders to leave. "The people want the square cleared," one group chanted. "We will not leave, we will not leave," replied another.
Police officers, emboldened by Mubarak's downfall, gathered outside the Interior Ministry to demand higher pay. Warning shots were fired in the air. No one was hurt.
Workers from the health and culture ministries staged demonstrations as Egyptians began venting pent-up frustrations.
Thousands of workers have staged strikes, sit-ins and protests over pay and conditions at firms and government agencies in fields such as steel, textiles, telecoms, railways, post offices, banks and oil and pharmaceutical companies.
Egypt declared Monday a bank holiday after workers disrupted operations at the country's main state banks.
Protest organizers were forming a Council of Trustees to defend the revolution and urge swift reform from a military intent on restoring law and order during the transition.
Mahmoud Nassar, a youth movement leader, said: "The army has moved far along to meet the people's demands and we urge it to release all political prisoners who were taken before and after January 25 revolution. Only then will we call off the protests."
