President Obamas Address to Congress Tonight

sklick — Wed, 09 Sep 2009 19:48:17 +0000

Over the last few months the President has given dozen’s of speeches on Health Care. Clearly the American public is not buying his prescription for health care. The more the public learns about the proposal, the less popular it and the President becomes.

During the August recess an army of ordinary citizens read the bill, and showed up to oppose the President’s Health Care experiment. Concerned citizens were called “Un-American” by Democrat leaders Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid. Attendees at Texas Democrat Congressman Gene Green’s town hall meetings were required to present photo ID to participate.

The American people know that this experiment has been tried in other countries, and it has been a failure.

Tonight the President will address a Joint Session of Congress on Healthcare. The RNC will offer “real time” fact checking during President Obama’s address tonight.. You can join by going to www.GOP.com/LiveResponse at 7 PM Central time Wednesday, September 9^th.

Healthcare Alert

sklick — Tue, 28 Jul 2009 20:01:35 +0000

Last week the Blue Dog Democrats ended negotiations with the Democrat leadership to work out differences in committee on HR 3200 the House Healthcare bill. Speaker Pelosi has threatened to again skip the committee process and bring HR 3200 to the floor before the August recess.

Thanks to grassroots efforts it is believed that most of the Blue Dogs are going to oppose healthcare, but what about the Democrats who live in districts McCain won? These are the targets for today.
