Here are my thoughts about the next few days ahead, and how we can continue the pressure on key Representatives in this epic battle against Obamacare. (The original post is from my blog The Conservative Revolution.)

"We have entered the final phase of the battle against Obamacare 2.0.

By best accounts, over 5,000 activists from around the country stormed the Hill this morning to visit their representatives and urge them to vote No on ObamaCare.  I know that many others who couldn't make the trip to DC yet again were with us in spirit and have been making phone calls, writing letters, and sending emails. 

Florida’s property insurance market is currently in disarray, the product of over-regulation that has hampered competition. With the imminent threat of hurricane season, the Florida state legislature is once again considering the issue of insurance reform; hopefully it will take the opportunity to revitalize Florida’s fiscally vulnerable insurance market.

Tomorrow, the people will once again converge on Capitol Hill to make their voices heard. Congress didn't listen to the people in September 2009 at the 9/12 Taxpayer March on DC. They didn't listen in November when the people showed up by the thousands for Rep. Bachmann's House Call.

By now you should have heard all about the People's Surge Against ObamaCare 2.0 on March 16.  If not, go here to get caught up.

Tuesday looks like it will be a nice 64 degrees and partly cloudy, great protesting weather.  Bring yourself, a friend or five,  and comfortable walking shoes - we have alot of ground to cover.

Just a bit ago, I wrote that we broke 95,000 - that number has been left in the dust as the No Reconciliation petition has garnered over 100,000 signers! 

I personally applaud the House Republican Conference for passing a moratorium against out-of-control earmarks. The powerful Tea Party movement has shown that taxpayers are frustrated with the reckless way Washington is spending their hard-earned money.

Democrats such as House Financial Services Chairman Barney Frank and Senate Banking Committee Chairman Christopher Dodd have continued to press for what they consider to be necessary financial reform.

From the amazing but true file comes news that the House Republican Conference has announced that all members will not request earmarks.  Republican leader Boehner tweeted shortly after the vote:

The House Republican Conference has adopted an immediate, unilateral moratorium on all earmarks.
