Brown Vows To Send Health Care Reform ‘back To The Drawing Board’


Posted by admin

Republican Scott Brown, fresh off his victory in the Massachusetts race for U.S. Senate, called on the secretary of state to send him to Washington immediately, saying Wednesday that he wants to send health insurance reform “back to the drawing board.”

Though the state typically waits at least 10 days to collect absentee ballots before certifying, the senator-elect said he’s “confident” his margin of victory — 5 points and nearly 110,000 votes — was greater than the number of outstanding ballots.

Brown is champing at the bit to be sworn in since he would become the 41st Republican in the Senate, breaking the Democrats’ 60-vote supermajority and potentially scuttling health care reform if it returns to the chamber for a final vote.  Read more...

For almost 35 years, the law of the land has been an explicit prohibition against federal taxpayer dollars being used to pay for elective abortions, known as the Hyde amendment, after the late great Illinois congressman. This is a policy supported by the majority of the American people.

In fact, this hard-fought explicit ban was included in the health care bill that passed the House last year. Regrettably, the Senate did not follow suit and instead passed a bill that would allow hard-earned taxpayer dollars to pay for elective abortion. That is a simple fact. Unfortunately, in a mad rush to secure enough votes, leading House Democrats now intend to take up the Senate-passed bill, arguing that the Senate language prohibits federal funding of abortion. Besides that fact that this simply not true, it also demonstrates the lengths the president and his allies will take to pass this bill against the will of the American people.  Read more...

Calif. Gop Urges Suit Over Health Care Overhaul


Posted by admin

Republican state senators called on California Attorney General Jerry Brown Tuesday to join other states and sue the federal government over health care reform.

The legislators said Congress cannot force people to buy health insurance or any other products.

Attorneys general in 13 other states have already filed suit against the health care overhaul that President Barack Obama signed into law. The bill will require most Americans to carry health insurance.

“I think that many Californians share the same view that this is the greatest expansion of government in a generation,” said Senate Minority Leader Dennis Hollingsworth, R-Murrieta.

State Sen. Tom Harman, R-Huntington Beach, sent the letter to Brown.

“The federal government is limited in what it can and can’t do by the Constitution,” Harman said, calling the measure a violation of the commerce clause.  Read more...
