Thread: Pelosi Trying to BYPASS Committe Healthcare

Recived this Email Alert


DON'T LET PELOSI USE PROCEDURE TO BYPASS COMMITTEE

Dear Liberty Activist,

So far, so good. Republicans and Blue Dog Democrats on the House Energy and Commerce committee are still holding their ground against ObamaCare.

So much so that House Leadership is considering bypassing the committee altogether, as reported this morning by The Hill.

Says House Democrat Caucus Chairman John Larson, "The preferable course would be to go through the committee. But all options will be on the table." Meaning that Nancy Pelosi is considering doing an end-run around the committee and breaking procedure in a desperate gamble to rush socialized medicine through the House by Barack Obama's foolish August deadline.

As ALG News reported to you yesterday, the Thursday session of the House Energy and Commerce committee was cancelled because Chairman Henry Waxman still can't find the votes to pass the ObamaCare proposal. And according to Congresswoman Jane Harman (CA-CD36), "We've been asked to clear our calendars for Saturday," meaning that whatever is going to happen will occur over the weekend—maybe even in the dead of night.

At contention right now is a controversial proposal by the Obama Administration that, as reported by Politico, would "empower an outside body, like the Medicare Payment Advisory Commission, to make binding recommendation for cost cuts in government-run health care programs."

House Democrats have claimed that their version of ObamaCare will cut the growth of Medicare spending by $500 billion over ten years. At Wednesday night's news conference, Barack Obama elaborated on his plans to cut Medicare to pay for his overall plan by allowing an "independent group of doctors and medical experts" to determine how to cut the program tens of millions of seniors now depend on for medical care.

And you know what that means: Rationing health care away from seniors. As ALG President Bill Wilson commented yesterday, "Telling seniors that their care is going to be cut to pay for a foolish, unsustainable welfare program is an outright insult to the generation that defended this nation, brought about the fall of communism, and built America."

And only you can stop it.

Keep fighting! Here is the list of all eight Blue Dog Democrats on Energy and Commerce who need to be told that, in House Republican Leader John Boehner's words, "it's time to throw this bill away":

Bart Gordon (TN-CD6)
Mike Ross (AR-CD4)
Jim Matheson (UT-CD2)
Charlie Melancon (LA-CD3)
John Barrow (GA-CD12)
Baron Hill (IN-CD9)
Zack Space (OH-CD1
Jane Harman (CA-CD36)

(202) 225-4231
(202) 225-3772
(202) 225-3011
(202) 225-4031
(202) 225-2823
(202) 225-5315
(202) 225-6265
(202) 225 8220

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Democrat Caucus Chair John Larson, and Energy and Commerce Chairman Henry Waxman also need special attention today. Give them a call and tell them to follow procedure and address the concerns of their own caucus in committee:

Nancy Pelosi (CA-CD
John Larson (CT-CD1)
Henry Waxman (CA-CD30)

(202) 225-4965
(202) 225-2265
(202) 225-3976

And please keep calling your own representatives in the House and in the Senate, too. The switchboard number is (202) 224-3121.

In today's Liberty Action Report, the Blue Dogs are singing the "deficit-neutral" blues, Barack Obama is leading us into a massive bottomless pit, The Philosopher's Stone returns addressing just who Justice Ruth Ginsberg thinks the "we" are who don't want too many of the undesirable populations around. Also, this week we have included a new feature, The Overnights by Adam Bitely, a week-in-review of what's hot in the blogosphere. Plus, The White Mountain Independent recently ran a column from ALG Chairman, Howard Rich.

I have been calling and calling.

Keep it up because they need to know if they pass this they all lose their jobs - and we mean it this time!

The days of 9% unapproval ratings and still getting voted back into office for "life" are OVER!

This whole Health Care Bill is a horrible nightmare and should be scrapped.

Pelosi has shown herself to be a danger to this country and it's people in many respects. But her rush to get this bill voted on before the August break by a procedure bypassing the House Energy and Commerce committee is deplorable . She wants it signed, sealed and delivered whether right or wrong. For a Bill that is so huge and life changing for so many what she is doing is very irresponsible.

It is time to Oust Power Hungry Pelosi!
