In case you missed this............
    
    Barack Obama is one of the smartest guys ever to inhabit the Oval Office.  So says the elitist media that elected him.  Obama proclaimed his early 2009 Stimulus Plan would 'SAVE or create" 4 million jobs.  Well now he's released the calculations to support the large number of jobs that were either created or saved.  The problem is that he claims to have saved jobs in congressional districts that don't even exist.  He made them up!  

    If it was one errant district, it's maybe forgivable.   But, so far, more than 20 districts were simply created for Obama's report.  

   in Arizona alone, there are 14 non-existent districts cited. In Georgia, more than $6.2 million in stimulus spending is identified in the fictitious 14th, 19th, 21st, 25th, 27th, 86th and 00th.  

    And now they want to run the census and health care!


Insight on the Health Care vote........

    It's an informal group of approximately 30 conservative Democrat Congressman that make up a so called "Catholic Caucus".  The group is comprised of Blue Dog Democrats that are also Pro-life.  You can imagine how popular they are within their own party.  

    During the course of Pelosi's efforts to marshal a Health Care plan through Congress, this group asked to include a provision in the Health Care Bill that prohibited the use of tax dollars for abortions.  Pelosi's answer?  "We don't need your votes to pass this bill!"  And the door was slammed in their face. 
    
    And so they returned to their offices committed to voting against any bill that included an abortion funding mechanism.  

    Fast forward several weeks later.  Pelosi returned, hat in hand, and said that she would be happy to include the required amendment to the bill to get this group's vote.  She had miscalculated and now needed their vote desperately.   The amendment was inserted and the measure passed with only five votes to spare.  

    But it's this amendment that is causing great angst.  The liberals Democrats won't stand for this measure in any final bill.  But they also can't pass the measure with the language inserted.  Talk about a circular firing squad!


If you want to get involved.........

On Tuesday, the Senate health committee voted 12-11 in favor of a
two-page amendment courtesy of Tom Coburn that would
require all Members and their staffs to enroll in any new
government-run health plan. It took me less than a minute to sign up
to require our congressmen and senators to drink at the same trough!
Three cheers for Congressman John Fleming of Louisiana !
Congressman John Fleming ( Louisiana physician) has proposed an
amendment that would require congressmen and senators to take the same
healthcare plan they force on us (under proposed legislation they are
curiously exempt). 

Congressman Fleming is encouraging people to go on his Website and
sign his petition (very simple - just first, last and email). I have
immediately done just that at:
http://fleming.house.gov/index.cfm?sectionid=55&sectiontree=29,55
Please urge as many people as you can to do the same!
If Congress forces this on the American people, the Congressmen should
have to accept the same level of health care for themselves and their
families. To do otherwise is the height of hypocrisy!
