The recently proposed “Slaughter Rule” specifies that the House can pass a Senate bill as well as a bill amending it, with one vote. The Senate then votes only on the amendatory bill relayed from the House. After this process, the bill is declared as passed. However, this means that the House and the Senate wouldn’t have passed the same bill, which as critics are beginning to point out, is a legislative requirement, as stipulated in the Constitution.

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. 

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! 

FreedomWorks "No Reconciliation" petition has garnered over 95,000 signatures!  Urge your friends to sign today to help us push past 100,000 who oppose ramming this legislation through Congress. Still, it's starting to look like using the nuclear option isn't the only trick up Pelosi's sleeve. 

We are calling everyone that is able to come to Washington, DC on March 16th, 2010 for one last push against Obamacare. We will meet at the Cannon building at 9am and speak with as many representatives as possible, encouraging them to vote NO on this version of health care reform.

FreedomWorks "No Reconciliation" petition has surged past 60,000 signers in less than a week!  The last I saw we had 61,308 signers - with more joining all the time.  Be sure to forward it to your family and friends to sign and urge them to forward it as well.  The best way to stop this thing is by growing the movement person by person, group by group. Once you've signed - go to the Stop ObamaCare Online War Room to take action.

Come join FreedomWorks, and many other Tea Party groups and organizations in our storming of the three House Office Buildings to express our opposition towards Obamacare 2.0! We will be meeting outside the Canon House Office Building beginning at 9 a.m. on Tuesday, March 16th. Our message is Vote No on Obamacare 2.0!

If the Democratic lawmakers in this video use reconciliation to gain passage of the currently pending health care bill, then it becomes clear that these same Democratic lawmakers are hypocrites in their own right. In this video, Democratic lawmakers claim that reconciliation is an irreponsibile power grab. Well if reconciliation is an irresponsible power grab, then why are these same Democratic lawmakers who denounced reconciliation deliberately choosing to use it?
