Where Reps Stand on Health Care Bill as of Today

Courtesy of the Washington Post, here is a sortable list of all Representatives and where they currently stand (as well as how they voted last time) on the health care bill. Even if they are showing as a “Yes” vote, call and voice your opposition anyhow. Many listed as yes (Driehaus comes to mind) know in the back of their mind that a yes vote is a suicide vote and every call will make that voice louder.

ObamaCare is about Making History

As I continue to watch the Democrats continue to push and push in their attempt to pass ObamaCare, one thing continues to become evident… This isn’t about helping America or fixing healthcare, it is about “making history”.

Even more disappointing is that the President stated in his State of the Union address that his number one focus was going to be jobs. Instead he pushes a bill that would cause 120,000 to 700,000 more jobs to be lost.

Candian Healthcare: ObamaCare Model

PJTV produced a good feature on Canadian healthcare. It’s such a wonderful system that the proposed healthcare system is greatly modeled off of it. Take a look at the video to see what a fantastic healthcare system it is. It is a great view into what is coming.  After watching it, I bet you’ll be unable to wait for the additional health issues due to delayed care, the extra taxes upon taxes, and the even more expensive “private option” (if you can afford it that is)!

Cincinnati Coffee Party Needs More Caffeine

According to a report from Canada Free Press, turnout for the coffee party weekend was subdued.  GateWay Pundit reports that the St. Louis coffee party turnout was a total of 30. Compare that to the 2,225 that turned out to the “Kill the Bill” rally down the road in St. Charles.  You can also see the 5 people that showed up to a North Carolina Coffee Party.

Cincinnati appeared to fare better, but not much.  Judging from their photos, they appeared to get somewhere in the neighborhood of 20 attendees.  Compare that to the turnout of the Cincinnati Tea Party, which was estimated at 7000.  It is clear where the majority of the public stands on issues that increase the cost and authority of government.

The Coffee Party Astroturf Movement

Photo by LimonadaLook closely everyone… it isn’t real grass roots, it is astroturf!!!  That’s right, the coffee party movement that you’ve probably heard spouted about in the media isn’t really a movement with a lot of commonality in the teaparty movement.  In fact, Left Coast Rebel has uncovered that many of the founders have their roots in some rather scary anti-capitalist movements.  I highly recommend checking out that link, Rebel has been keeping it updated with all the latest finds.

I’m not sure about anyone else, but this coffee movement hasn’t been going long and it already seems quite stale. I can’t help but see the astroturfed members of it as being little more than bitter… Sorry, I couldn’t resist. Calling them coffeebaggers just doesn’t work.
