WWR Extra: Senate Moving Forward on Obamacare

On Saturday evening at 8:08 P.M. EST, the United States Senate — by a vote of 60-39 — agreed to proceed with the healthcare bill debate on the Senate floor.

So, as this debate in Congress will now rage on as to whether or not a massive, government-run health care system will be enacted, it is important that pro-family conservatives continue to stay informed.

Please, be sure to visit our Health Care Action Center and keep up with the latest facts and information – and then continue to let your members of Congress know how you feel.

MESSSAGE FROM ROBERTA COMBS, PRESIDENT, CHRISTIAN COALITION OF AMERICA

The lead item in this week’s “Washington Weekly Review” entitled “Senate Vote Saturday Night to Determine if America Will Turn to Socialism” may seem alarmist to some, but I have no doubt that it sums up the great importance of the vote in the United States Senate on Saturday night at 8 p.m. on Obamacare.  If the Senators vote to begin debate on this socialized medicine scheme cooked up during the last few weeks behind closed doors with no transparency whatsoever and with no Republican input whatsoever, then America will begin down the road to socialism as some European countries have chosen to do.

It is imperative that these 6 United States Senators be contacted immediately to urge them to vote NO on the Democrat’s “motion to proceed to debate the Senate’s health care reform bill,” a 2,074 page monstrosity:  Senator Ben Nelson from Nebraska; Senators Blanche Lincoln and Mark Pryor from Arkansas; Senator Mary Landrieu from Louisiana; Senator Evan Bayh from Indiana and Senator Joe Lieberman from Connecticut.

Finally, Christian Coalition of America will score this extremely important vote in CCA’s 2009-2010 Congressional Scorecard.  A vote FOR “the motion to proceed to debate the Senate Democrat healthcare bill” will be a negative vote in the CCA congressional scorecard.  A vote FOR Senator Orrin Hatch’s pro-life amendment – similar to Democrat Bart Stupak’s amendment which passed 240-194 – will be listed in the CCA congressional scorecard as a positive vote.  It is important that you call your Senators now.  Time is of the essence.

Senate Vote Saturday Night to Determine if America Will Turn to Socialism

On Thursday, Christian Coalition of America (CCA) sent out an Action Alert to its supporters all over America and urged them to contact both of their United States Senators regarding the most important vote of their congressional careers.  The vote on the Democrats’ socialized medicine scheme, commonly called ObamaCare, will come up for a vote on the Senate floor Saturday night at 8 p.m.

Because the Senate’s ObamaCare bill pushed back implementation of the major provisions until 2014, it is important that you, your family and your friends understand the true cost of 10 years of implementation – a whopping $2.5 trillion.

The question is simply this: Will America leave its roots and give up much of the freedom bestowed on Americans by our Founders by turning to socialism?  That is exactly what the United States Senate will be voting on Saturday night at 8 p.m. when the Democrats attempt to begin debate on ObamaCare… (Read More)

Derelict Army Generals Need to Prosecute in Murder of Unborn Child

To add insult to injury, the prosecutors in the United States Army, have thus far refused to charge the Islamic terrorist with a 14th murder charge in the Ft. Hood massacre by ignoring the death of an unborn baby.  This mass murder, by a deranged Muslim terrorist, probably would not have occurred at all, if the leadership of the Army, led by Army Chief of Staff, General George Casey, had gotten rid of this Army Major jihadist in the first place.  The U.S. Army  —  infested with political correctness for the past several decades  —  had plenty of warnings that the terrorist, Major Nidal Malik Hasan, was about to explode.

The left-wing news media has been intent on ignoring the death of a 14th victim, besides the 12 soldiers and Army civilian, assassinated by terrorist Nidal Malik Hasan.  Indeed, the one word on this week’s cover of “Time” magazine was “terrorist” with a question mark behind “terrorist?” and a picture of the Islamic terrorist Nidal Malik Hasan in the background.

The United States Army – which has succumbed to left-wing political correctness for far too long – needs to immediately recognize the death of the 6-week-old unborn child of assassinated Army Private Francheska Velez, a 21-year old native of Barack Hussein Obama’s hometown of Chicago… (Read More)

European Court Tells Italians to Take Down Their Crucifixes

In a preview of what a stronger European Union government will look like when it comes to religious freedom, Italians were stunned to hear that the European Court of Human Rights ruled that they had been violating the “religious and educational rights” of their children for generations by forcing them to attend school in classrooms with crucifixes hanging on their walls.

The court’s decision came about as a result of a 2002 complaint:

…a Finnish-born mother of two children in the Italian school system objected to the crucifixes in their classrooms. The school principal was unmoved. Italy’s Constitutional Court dismissed her complaint. So she filed a case in Strasbourg, France, and now she’s won.

The Euro court’s ruling hasn’t exactly had the intended effect.  In fact, quite the opposite… (Read More)

Political Roundup: 11-20-09

Super Boots

Just how many jobs has the “stimulus” created?  Today’s Wall Street Joural points to an interesting claim by the Obama administration…

“…how many Americans does it take to make nine pairs of work boots? According to the White House’s recovery.gov site, an $890 shoe order for the Army Corps of Engineers, courtesy of the stimulus package, created nine new jobs at Moore’s Shoes & Services in Campbellsville, Kentucky…”

Yep.  Super Boots.  Able to create multiple jobs in a single laceup.

Guess who’s not arresting illegal aliens… (Read More)
