Dear Patriots,

The buzz on Capitol Hill is that the Democrats are now considering what is being called the “Slaughter Solution” that will allow ObamaCare to be signed into law WITHOUT HOUSE MEMBERS EVEN HAVING TO VOTE.

According to Congress Daily, House Rules Chairwoman Louise Slaughter…

“…is weighing preparing a rule that would consider the Senate bill passed once the House approves a corrections bill that would make changes to the Senate version.”

The Washington Examiner explains that this will allow Democrats to approve ObamaCare without actually voting on the bill:

“In the Slaughter Solution, the rule would declare that the House “deems” the Senate version of Obamacare to have been passed by the House. House members would still have to vote on whether to accept the rule, but they would then be able to say they only voted for a rule, not for the bill itself.”

+ + Dems escaping the “Catch 22″

The Slaughter Solution would allow Democrats to escape their
“Catch 22.” Simply put, the House must pass the Senate bill
BEFORE the “reconciliation” tactic can be employed —
trusting that the Senate will actually do what is promised.

The “Slaughter Solution” solves that — and gives House members an “out” because they never actually had to vote on the Senate ObamaCare bill.

+ + Pelosi says backroom deals “pretty close” to final

Whether by the “Slaughter Solution” or another means, it is clear that Democrats are rapidly pushing ObamaCare to a final vote. After yesterday’s backroom deals, Speaker Pelosi said they were “pretty close” and Majority Leader Reid added:

“[H]ealth reform is going to be done. We don’t have it all worked out, but we made a lot of progress.”

As I noted a few days ago, grassroots pressure from the Left has increased in recent days, not-so-coincidentally timed with this final push to pass ObamaCare.

Comment from American Grand Jury:

If these communists pass Obamacare the GLOVES MUST COME OFF. We would need to stop paying taxes. We would need to heavily petition the State Legislatures to STOP Obamacase from being enforced in each State. We would need to file hundreds of lawsuits against the Constitutionality of Obamacare.

WE WOULD NEED TO TAKE BARACK OBAMA DOWN BY CRIMINAL PROSECTION IN COURT. WE COULD DO THIS. ALL LEGISLATION THAT OBAMA SIGNED WOULD BECOME NULL AND VOID. THIS WOULD STOP THE ENTIRE COMMUNIST TAKEOVER OF OUR COUNTRY. REMOVE THE HEAD OF THE SNAKE AND THE LIBERAL PROGRESSIVE MOVEMENT IN THIS COUNTRY WOULD START TO CRUMBLE.

I just received this from Miki Booth. The National Tea Party is making a CODE RED call to ARMS. Please go to this website, TeaPartyPatriots.org, to find out which of your Congress members are going to vote YES on Obamacare and email them, call or visit them IMMEDIATELY.

I just emailed my 3 Congress members in Arizona. My letter wasn’t all the pleasant. We MUST stop the Obamacare CRAP SANDWITCH that is heading for a vote in Congress.

Here is my letter:

HEALTH CARE.. OBAMA HEALTH CARE.. THIS IS CRAP.

Rep. Ann Kirkpatrick
Rep. Harry Mitchell
Rep. Gabrielle Giffords

I don’t personally know you but I can assure you that if vote “yes” on this Healthcare crap-sandwitch we in Arizona will never let up on you. Your career as a politician will be over. No matter what it takes, no matter how long it takes I will personally find Arizonans to campaign against you.

The United States has no place for socialized Medicine. You are not representing the American people if you allow a social-facist-communist such as Obama to ram this $10-Trillion bill down our throats.

We ABSOLUTELY mean no harm to anyone in Congress. Violence is never the answer, but peacefully getting rid of politicians that vote against America and our American life style has no stopping place. Many, many Democrats and Republicans are going to lose their jobs come November if they even think about supporting this bill. The Democratic party is already imploding before your eyes.

PLEASE DO NOT VOTE YES FOR HEALTHCARE. If you do vote yes I can assure you that I belong to groups that can rally hundreds of thousands of people against you when your time for reelection comes up.

We also have the numbers to force the Arizona Legislature to turn up the heat on accepting 10th Amendment “States Freedom Acts” that can effectively force the Federal Government out of Arizona if they attemp to push unwanted legislation on Arizonans.

WE WILL FIGHT BACK. The sleeping giant known as the American Patriot is alive and well and we will not stop fighting for justice.

Thank you for your time. My advice to you is to read this email and understand it only takes one or two really upset leaders to rally the Patriots. Take this letter serious. We mean business.

36 legislatures fight for citizens’ rights to opt out of health-coverage demand

At least 36 state legislatures are considering legislation that would allow citizens to opt out of a key component of President Obama’s health-care “reform” – an “individual mandate” requiring that all Americans have health insurance.

Both the House and Senate health-care bills require Americans to purchase health insurance or pay a penalty. The House bill establishes a fine based on percentage of a person’s income, while the Senate version creates a penalty as a flat fee or percentage of income, whichever is higher. Those refusing to get insurance could be found guilty of a misdemeanor crime, punishable by another fine or even jail time.

“The president’s proposal adopts the Senate approach but lowers the flat dollar assessments, and raises the percent of income assessment that individuals pay if they choose not to become insured,” a White House plan released in February states.

States rejecting ‘individual mandate’

According to the National Conference of State Legislatures, formal resolutions or bills have been filed in opposition to the individual mandate in Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin and Wyoming.

CALLER: I don’t call it Obamacare, I call it the Obama con job. It’s nothing but a Ponzi scheme. This is the biggest “screw you” to the middle class that is out there.

RUSH: It is. It’s almost like Madoff.

CALLER: It’s worse than Madoff. You talk about taxation being a Ponzi scheme. If they get their hands on the money, the revenue stream that will come in from every man, woman, and child in this country on a monthly basis, once they go to this single payer thing going for them, once they get their hands on that money, that revenue stream, it will never stop. We’ve got to pray to God this thing does not go through.

RUSH: That’s exactly right. We’re talking about two-and-a-half trillion dollars that they control, which is largely what this is about.

RUSH: Now, we talked yesterday, ladies and gentlemen, about the largest health insurance company (if you will) in the country is the United States government, and the single most powerful insurance company executive is Barack Obama. He runs the S-CHIP program, he runs Medicare, he runs Medicaid, and the VA. And we went through the progression yesterday: Nobody gets everything they want in those programs. Just because the governments get behind it, they don’t get everything they want, and they constantly complain, and they deny coverage. The number one insurance company that denies claims in this country is Medicare. Medicare denies far more claims than any private insurance company does.

Yet here’s Obama with all these great reforms that are just going to compound the problems that we already have in government-run insurance. I want to ask you if you would put up with this in the private sector. Essentially if Obama’s bill passes, we get the paygo. We pay now. The taxes and all the other fees and everything will happen immediately as soon as the bill is signed. But the so-called benefits don’t kick in for four years, and this is so that they could get a ten-year score from the CBO of something under a trillion dollars. Now, let me ask you a question. Can you imagine what Obama would say if, say, Blue Cross/Blue Shield was out there selling policies that you had to pay for every month for four years but you didn’t get any insurance for four years? You had to pay into it, but you couldn’t file a claim for anything no matter what happens for four years, because that’s what they’re proposing. This is Obama’s paygo. It’s a stunt. And it’s a nightmare.

If you hate your insurance company, you’ve gotta understand that the biggest and the worst is the United States government — Medicare, Medicaid, S-CHIP, VA — and Barack Obama runs it.
