Blue Dogs

Blue Dog Democrats have an opportunity right now to block the new health care bill from going to the House. According to Rep. Mike Ross, a leading negotiator for the “conservative” Democrats has said that the legislation does not contain needed reforms to control expenditures in the health care system. A version of the bill is being discussed in the Energy and Commerce Committee, where there is 36 Democrats, 23 Republicans, and out of those, eight Blue Dog Democrats are willing to block the bill. If you do not wish the government to run your health care, and force you to invest in something you already pay for yourself, or through your employer, then the time to act is now. The debt our country will sustain will deepen our future generations into financial obscurity if this bill succeeds.

Call 202-225-3121 and tell the Energy and Commerce to vote NO!

Reps. John Barrow (D-Ga.)
Bart Gordon (D-Tenn.)
Baron Hill (D-Ind.)

California is Broke

Schwarzenegger on Wednesday has recently declared California a fiscal emergency. It has a 24 Billion dollar deficit and no plan from the 48 Democrats and 32 Republicans in the Assembly, or from the 25 Democrats and 15 Republicans in the Senate. The only plan the legislature has is to support government programs it can’t afford, keep borrowing, give out IOU’s to their taxpayers, and short change bond holders that invest in the state. The former golden state will reap what they sow, and the blame goes towards the liberal majority destroying what “golden” generations before them with their blood, sweat, and tears worked so hard to accomplish. The Gold Rush was a gift from god that created this one great state (with the potential to be great again) the infrastructure of a leading economic power. As a native born Californian, I didn’t lose hope in California, California lost hope in us, and minimized the individualism of the citizenry. Activists have brought California down, and activist can bring the state back to a leading position again.
