TEXANS KNOW HOW TO GRAB THE BULL BY THE HORNS

STATE RIGHTS PROCLAIMED FIRST... over HR -3590: Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act  (BHOCARE).

The plan by Texas Rep. Leo Berman, R-Tyler, effectively would nullify the federal health care legislation in his state as proposed:
At least, that is what the bill that "relates to federal health care legislation" says:
The federal Act:

(1) is invalid in this state;

(2) is not recognized by this state;

(3) is specifically rejected by this state; and

(4) is null and void and of no effect in this state.

LET THE NEGOTIATION BEGIN OVER TAX HIKE

GEE THE CONGRESSIONAL HOUSE PASSES A TAX HIKE TO KILL SMALL BUSINESS, THE ENGINE THAT CAN HELP LOWER UNEMPLOYMENT IN THE US. NOW THE SENATE HAD THEIR PICK AT IT AND NO DEAL THUS FAR. AND THE SQUEELLING CONTINUES FROM THE DEMS.
Sen. Mary L. Landrieu, Louisiana Democrat, lashed out at Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, on the Senate floor, saying she didn't know how Democrats were supposed to negotiate with him after the Kentucky Republican said before the elections that his top priority is to see Mr. Obama defeated in 2012.

Remember the Louisiana purchase of The Honorable Landrieo during passing of HR -3590: Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act  (BHOCARE). She would sell WE THE PEOPLE down river in a heartbeat. Keep the pressure on Honorable Leader Mitch McConnell.

Mr. Obama’s preferred plan fell 7 votes short of the 60 needed to overcome a filibuster and advance to a simple majority vote. The vote was 53 to 36, on a bill adopted by the House on Thursday to end the cuts on income above $250,000 a year for couples and $200,000 for individuals.

Guess who the token DEMS who voted against this bill:
Republicans voted unanimously against the House-passed bill, and they were joined by four Democrats — Senators Russ Feingold (defeated) of Wisconsin, Joe Manchin III (class I) of West Virginia, Ben Nelson (class I)of Nebraska and Jim Webb (class I)of Virginia — as well as by Senator Joseph I. Lieberman (class I), independent of Connecticut.

Senator Frank R. Lautenberg, Democrat of New Jersey, said he would benefit personally from a tax cut on income above $1 million. “I had a good business career, and I would be entitled to a tax cut for those over the million-dollar mark” he said. “But I don’t want it. I don’t need it. What I am looking at today, I think, is a great American travesty.”

IT'S NOT A TAX CUT, BUT  MAINTAINING THE CURRENT TAX RATE. SURE SENATOR, YOU REALLY CARE FOR US.

LET FREEDOM REMAINS RINGING ON THE INTERNET.... EXCEPT FOR JULIUS "CEASAR"

WHAT IS THE FIRST AMEMNDMENT? LET ME SPELL IT OUT.
Amendment I.
(Ratified December 15, 1791)
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press, or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

We have the great Julius "Ceasar " Genachowski proclaiming by the FCC an Goverment Agency grabbing power from Congress to control the internet. When will "they" ever stop and let freedom ring on the internet?  I think never, not until their desires of control over all of us is complete.

Freedom and openness should continue to be the governing principles of the Internet. That's why Mr. Genachowski's proposal should be rejected and Congress should make it even more clear that the FCC should stop trying to expand its regulatory empire.
