House to vote on ObamaCare Saturday!

Nancy Pelosi and the Democrat leadership have set the stage for a vote by the full House of Representatives on their version of health care reform this Saturday.

It is imperative that they hear from you before they vote.

The pending version of this bill still includes a massive government run program that will lead to less personal control and greater government control over individual health decisions. It also still includes provisions that will allow the taxpayer funding of abortion on demand.

Contact them as soon as possible and let them know how you feel!

Maine Becomes 31st State (31-0) Rejecting Homosexual Marriage

In a stunning rebuke by the citizens of Maine yesterday, the law passed by the Democratic-controlled Maine state legislature and signed into law by Democratic Governor, John Baldacci, to allow homosexuals to marry, was resoundingly defeated. The American people continue to overrule their elected officials on this issue, time after time, and it seems these politicians never seem to learn the lesson.

By an average of about 70%, voters in 31 states, including the liberal states of California, Hawaii, Oregon, and now Maine, have rejected homosexual marriage. In the case of Maine, the Democratic-elected officials were determined to bypass their citizens and force such "marriages" upon the citizens of Maine. The citizens rose up and voted a resounding NO!

The institution of marriage predates authenticated recorded history. The God of the Bible intended the institution of marriage to be between one man and one woman. The American people have overwhelmingly rejected the expansion of marriage to include any other arrangement other than traditional marriage... (Read More)

Blue Dog Democrats: Are you listening?

After Tuesday night's crushing defeat of all the Democrat candidates in the major races -- in Virginia (a 3-race sweep) and in New Jersey (in a huge upset) - and a tremendous defeat in Maine for the radical homosexual movement and their left-wing allies (including the media) all over the nation, the big question now is will the Blue Dog Democrats listen to the American people? Their record of listening to their voters is not good so far this year.

Just last year, the president won both New Jersey and Virginia by large margins, but Republican Governor-elect Robert McDonnell won a gigantic 20-point margin victory over the Democrat candidate and Republican Governor-elect Chris Christie defeated the sitting Democrat Governor, Jon Corzine (who put over $100 million of his own money into his past three races).

Even the Conservative Republican candidate in the 23rd congressional district special election in New York, Doug Hoffman -- who was hardly known two months ago and who was in the single digits in the polls, but actually pulled ahead in the last hours of the election -- made a reasonable showing after forcing the radically liberal Republican from the race who then endorsed Democrat Bill Owens which put the Democrat over the top...

Political Roundup: 11-5-09

Interesting tid-bits in the wake of Tuesday's election...

Election already having consequences for Obamacare?

Maybe. The Hill reports that Armed Services Committee Chairman Ike Skelton (D-Mo.) on Wednesday indicated that he was opposed to the House version of Obamacare: "I oppose the creation of a new government-run public option and continue to have serious concerns about its unintended consequences for Missourians who have private insurance plans they like. I remain concerned about the bill's impact on rural hospitals and doctors." The dominoes may be starting to fall.

Super stimulus...saves more jobs than actually exist!

Beware all ye who doubt the power of the super stimulus. The Associated Press documents the proof... (Read More)

Pro-life Student Silenced in Canadian School

Our neighbors to the north have given us another excellent foreshadowing of what the near future of political correctness run amuck holds for us.

It seems that a pro-life student, wishing to engage in a SILENT protest against abortion was put in isolation and segregated from the rest of the student body. The student, Jennifer Rankin, was joining in the pro-life "Silent Day of Solidarity" campaign, which involved wearing red tape over her mouth and a red armband. The point of the protest was to be able to respond with a pro-life answer when people would ask why she is protesting... (Read More)
