Can States Win Health Care Fight?
Why can’t other Congressman get the same vision? Can one lone Congressman make a difference? I think we need to let our Congressmen know that we agree with Congressman Fleming of Louisiana and expect them to rethink their position. I would love to hear from you on this and that you have contacted your representative about your support for H. Res 615.

FLEMING HEALTH CARE REFORM UPDATE
Because you have previously contacted my office by email in support of H. Res. 615, my resolution calling on Members of Congress to enroll in the public option, I wanted to give you an update.
Like many of you, I am deeply concerned that Congress will press forward to enact an intrusive government administered health care plan, despite the higher costs and lowered level of care other countries with similar systems have experienced.
You will be pleased to know that more than 100 Members of Congress joined in support of H. Res. 615, my common sense measure calling on Members who vote for an intrusive government-administered health care plan to enroll in that system. Since launching this effort, nearly 3 million Americans like you have contacted my office in support of H. Res. 615. In response I offered an amendment to the Democratic Leadership health care bill to automatically enroll all Members of Congress and all Senators in the public option. Predictably, my amendment was rejected out of hand by the Majority and was not given a vote on the floor of the House of Representatives.
Common sense seems to have failed us in the health care debate. That is why I offered a resolution asking Members of Congress to put their “money where their mouth is” and call for Members who support a public option lead by example and be required to enroll in the public option themselves. If a Member is willing to vote for such an option, why shouldn’t they enroll in it?
THE DOCTOR’S DIAGNOSIS: There is no doubt about it; health care in America must be reformed. The answer, however, is not an intrusive government administered health care plan. As a practicing physician for over 30 years, I am concerned that the kind of “reform” being debated back and forth on Capitol Hill will insert Washington bureaucrats between patients and their doctors, burden the middle class with new taxes, and raise insurance premiums for almost everyone. That is unacceptable “reform.” I will continue to work to represent you and to bring common sense back to this debate.

Attention: See Three Cheers For Congressman John Fleming of Louisiana
We need to be well informed in order to defend ourselves against the threat our nation is under from the garbage going on in Washington.
Please add your comments and tell us what you know or of other blogs that have good reports relating to this subject.
Relating Articles Three Cheers For Congressman John Fleming of Louisiana
Dick Morris says Pelosi and Reid are Plotting A Secret Plan for Obamacare! Should we be concerned or not?
Morris says that “highly informed sources on Capitol Hill have revealed to me details of the Democratic plan to sneak Obamacare through Congress, despite collapsing public approval for healthcare “reform” and disintegrating congressional support in the wake of Republican Scott Brown’s victory in Massachusetts.”
“Their plan is clever but can be stopped if opponents of radical healthcare reform act quickly and focus on a core group of 23 Democratic Congressman. If just a few of these 23 Democrats are “flipped” and decide to oppose the bill, the whole Obama-Pelosi-Reid stratagem falls apart. 2. Morris said he learned that top Democrats are planning to implement the Plan anyway. Senate Democrats will go to the House with a two-part deal.
- First, the House will pass the Senate’s Obamacare bill that passed the Senate in December. The House leadership will vote on the Senate bill, and Pelosi will allow no amendments or modifications to the Senate bill.
- How will Pelosi’s deal fly with rambunctious liberal members of her majority who don’t like the Senate bill, especially its failure to include a public option, put heavy fines on those who don’t get insurance, and offering no income tax surcharge on the “rich”?
- That’s where the second part of the Pelosi-deal comes in.
I will not cover any more of this report, I’ll let you read it on your own. It will anger you when you see how determined the Democratic leadership is to get things passed at whatever the cost! It’s all about power and pushing forward an agenda they KNOW is against the will of the people and they just plain don’t care! What do you think about this report by Morris and how do you plan to respond to it?
Behind closed doors, Reid and Pelosi have agreed in principle that changes to the Senate bill will be made to satisfy liberal House members — but only after the Senate bill is passed and signed into law by Obama.
This deal will be secured by a pledge from Reid and the Senate’s Democratic caucus that they will make “fixes” to the Senate bill after it becomes law with Obama’s John Hancock.
It is my understanding that, without Republican Scott Brown and independent Democrats such as Joe Lieberman, Reid simply doesn’t have the 60 votes in the Senate to overcome a Republican filibuster that Politicians typically use to stop major legislation. So now I wonder how they expect this all to play out?
However, Morris answers that question. “According to my source, Reid will provide to Pelosi a letter signed by 52 Democratic senators indicating they will pass the major changes, or “fixes,” the House Democrats are demanding. Again, these fixes will be approved by the Senate only after Obama signs the Senate bill into law.” “Reid also has agreed to bypass Senate cloture and filibuster rules and claim that these modifications fall under “reconciliation” and don’t require 60 Senate votes. ”
To pass the fixes, he won’t need one Republican; he won’t even need Joe Lieberman or wavering Democrats such as Jim Webb of Virginia. His 52 pledged senators give him a simple majority to pass any changes they want, which will later be rubberstamped by Pelosi’s House and signed by Obama.
This plan, of course, is a total subversion of the legislative process.
Typically, the Senate and House pass their own unique legislation and then both bills go to a conference committee. In conference, the leadership of both Democrat-dominated houses wheels and deals and irons out differences. The final compromise bill is then sent back to the full Senate and full House for a vote and has to pass both to go to the president. In the House, a simple majority passes the legislation. But under Senate rules, major legislation requires 60 votes to end a filibuster. As it stands, the House bill and Senate bill have major discrepancies. Reid does not have 60 votes to pass a compromise bill that would no doubt include some of the radical provisions House members have been demanding.
*****But if the House passes the exact Senate bill that passed by a 60-39 Senate vote last month, there is no need for a conference on the bill. It will go directly to the president’s desk.****
I will not cover any more of this report, I’ll let you read it on your own. I am sure that it will anger you when you see how determined the Democratic leadership is in passing this bill at whatever cost! It’s all about power and pushing forward an agenda they KNOW is against the will of the people but they just plain don’t care!
There is a lot of information in this report for you to absorb and wrap your mind around. I cannot believe the nerve these people in Washington have to be in complete defiance of “The People” who put them there. Use this LINK to read the full report.

The question now-a-days is this: “Is America Failing as a Nation? ” I have documentation for everything I say in this report from experts who are in a position to know.
It is obvious that Washington, Congress, and the President, all want the United States to lose the lines that define it as one nation under God! I believe they want to make the U.S. “One Nation and One Global Economy”. My proof is in the Security and Prosperity Partnership or SPP signed by President Bush, Mexican President Vicente Fox and then-Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin in Waco, Texas, on March 23, 2005. These signatures removed the boarders from Mexico to Canada. The plan appears to be only one currency and one government model, which is SOCIALISM like Canada or a totalitarian government (which is what I suspect is the real goal).
I know that many of you think I’m wrong or even crazy for suggesting there is such a plan? Ask yourselves why Congress seems so anxious to rid America of Godly and Conservative consciousness, and to pass laws that change Democracy as we know it by redefining the Constitution or ignoring it all together?
Why are they so bent on initiating Socialistic Health Care, Socialistic Government that ownes banks and lending institutions, private land, mortgage companies, car manufacturing companies, and eventually control our food production and oil production? And now I heard on the news last week that they are talking about bailing out the news papers. What would happen if government owned the news papers? You figure it out! Also ask yourselves why Congress and the President are so anxious to spend and spend and spend so that they crash the dollar? Thus, causing no viable currency in the U.S. for awhile. It is suggested by the experts that they want only one currency (Amero) like they have in Europe (Euro).
If we no longer function as a Democratic Society, we will no longer govern through Republics (the power of being governed by states). Republics protect democracy and freedom through a system of checks and balances. If Congress and the President are truly interested in protecting this type of Democratic system, then why are they so anxious to redifine judiciary roles, redefine society and government’s role, and redefine what the founding fathers intended? What else could be behind their motives than to kill off Democracy as we know it and replace it with something else?
Americans told the Democratic Party and President Obama that we want change, but are they aware of what the party and the president take that to mean? Then ask yourself why President Obama won’t wear the American flag on his lapel, why he won’t salute the flag or repeat the Pledge of Allegiance, and why take the American flag off his campaigne jet (and perhaps off Air Force One in the future)? I submit that he did so because he expects that there will be no American flag, no America or the United States of America, and more boarders in the near future.
