The House on Friday overwhelmingly approved a $1.1 trillion spending package
that includes the first major change approved by Congress to ObamaCare and keeps
the government open through September 2016.
Lawmakers backed the package following a furious effort by Speaker Paul Ryan
(R-Wis.), Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and their leadership teams to
corral votes in both parties.
In the end, there was no drama in the 316-113 vote.
Ryan won 150 GOP votes, a majority of his conference that represents a big
victory for the new Speaker. Ninety-five Republicans voted against the measure.
Only 18 Democrats voted against the spending bill, while 166 supported it.

"... It is only in this way that we can hope to arrive at truth, and fulfill the great responsibility which we hold to God and our country. Should I keep back my opinions at such a time, through fear of giving offense, I should consider myself as guilty of treason towards my country, and of an act of disloyalty toward the Majesty of Heaven, which I revere above all earthly kings."....I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"
