Read the Bill: Senate Version of ObamaCare Now Online
Posted by Jim's Staff 11/19/2009 - 10:52:29 AM
Late Wednesday night, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) released his own version of a health care bill that if passed will raise taxes, increase premiums, cut Medicare and lead to health care rationing. It's imperative that freedom-loving Americans everywhere raise their voices in opposition to this bill. It truly represents a government takeover of health care.
To be better informed for the battle ahead, read the entire bill (or at least skim over its 2,074 pages) here.
DeMint: Americans Won’t Be Fooled by Democrat Shell Game, a Vote to Proceed is a Vote for a Government Takeover of Health Care
November 17, 2009 - WASHINGTON, D.C. - Today, U.S. Senator Jim DeMint (R-South Carolina), chairman of the Senate Steering Committee, made the following statement:
“Let’s be clear: Any senator who votes to proceed to this bill is voting for a government takeover of health care. Senators who hide behind procedure and claim they just want to allow for debate are not being honest, they are trying to deceive their voters while helping to pass this terrible bill that will make health care more expensive.
“Earlier today, Democrat leaders told reporters that the Senate may vote to proceed to a shell bill, not related to health care reform, in an effort to grant the President’s wish for a government takeover of our nation’s health care by Christmas. These outrageous shell games won’t fool Americans. Voters will remember who stands up for their freedom and who stands with the special interests who want to ram through this takeover.”
“President Obama and Democrats have now put forward at least four different versions of their government takeover, and Harry Reid has been secretly working behind closed doors on the fifth act of this fiasco. But despite the nuances, every Democrat bill puts Washington in control of health care, slashes Medicare coverage for seniors, raises premiums for families, raises taxes, places bureaucrats between patients and doctors, punishes young adults who choose not to buy coverage, and opens the door to government rationing of care.
“Americans have loudly and repeatedly rejected the President’s government takeover of health care. It’s time to for the Senate to listen, stop the shell games, and start over with real solutions that will provide every American the opportunity to afford, own and keep a health care plan that best meets their needs.”

GOP Executive Committee Meeting - Charleston County SC
Goose Creek 9/12ers,
I am passing this along to anyone who is interested. There is an executive committee meeting of the GOP for Charleston County. Even if you don't live in Charleston County feel free to attend as they will be discussing issues that affect all of us. I have left the overview for the meeting in the text below along with the address.

I just met with some folks today to let me know that at next Monday's GOP meeting, Gresham Barrett is speaking (we may want to let him know what we think about his TARP vote) AND there will be a vote on joining Greenville GOP in censuring Lindsay Graham.
This is an opportunity to let the parties know that we're serious and that we're motivated...that the some old this won't fly anymore. We need a HUGE turnout! Even if only half our members show up, the numbers will shock people. Now is one of those times that we need to leave our comfort zones to send a message. It's not a trip to Washington, but for local politics, it's just as important!
Please make every effort to attend. Remember, it's not good enough to just attend a meeting or two, we have to get involved!

When Mon, November 9, 7:00pm – 8:30pm
Where North Charleston City Hall Council Chambers, 4900 Lacross Rd, Charleston, SC 29406 (where CharlestTowne Mall used to be)
