Republican Senators Stand Up For America!

There are a whole series of parliamentary maneuvers that could be used by Republican Senators to stop Obamacare socialized health care. There is a hard backstop to the current process (Christmas). The Republicans’ goal should be to prevent Reid from passing the bill before that time. If he goes past Christmas and is forced to adjourn or recess, the momentum will shift in favor of those opposing the bill.

The Republicans should stop constantly agreeing to “unanimous consent” requests from the Democrats. Senate Republicans, to date, have allowed Democrats, by unanimous consent, to process 10 amendments.  None of these amendments have improved the Obamacare bill.  Yet the republicans sit there quietly.

There are no amendments that could possibly make this bill a palatable piece of legislation – and any amendments the Republicans get passed that supposedly make the bill “better” may just make it easier for the Democrats to get final passage. 

If the Republicans want to educate the American people even further about the atrociousness of this bill, they have to create drama on the floor of the Senate. And the only way to do that is through an all-out fight with no holds barred. They need to look like Braveheart, fighting to the end to save freedom. America it is in fact our very freedom and liberty that is at stake.

Senators have an obligation to protect the Constitution and the budget and points of order can be raised on both. Many constitutional scholars have pointed out that numerous bill provisions, particularly the individual mandate, are unconstitutional. Under the Senate’s rules, constitutional points of order are debatable. The Republicans should be constantly bringing up constitutional points of order, one after another, on every questionable provision. Reid would presumably be forced to file cloture on the points of order and another three days could be burned up on each one.

The Obamacare socialized health care bill needs to be destroyed.  Make real health care reform, not a socialized takeover and destruction of the best health care in the world.  Millions of Americans are behind you if you are brave and stop Obamacare.

The vast majority of Americans don’t like this bill and don’t want it to pass. The Tea Party movement was the upheaval of millions of ordinary Americans who are scared and angry about the out-of-control growth of the federal government, federal spending, and the national debt. They want to see the Republicans obstructing passage of this bill and if they think the Republicans are not fighting with every tool they have at their disposal, then any advantage that the Republicans think they will get in next year’s elections from such a bill being passed will evaporate.

Conservatives will mount challenges to what they see as weak Republicans, just like what happened in New York’s special congressional race, helping Democrats eek out wins.  Other conservatives will stay home (like they did in 2008) rather than support GOP incumbents who did not fight.

America stay engaged.  Contact your Senators.  Tell the NO to Obamacare.  Tell them clearly they will be up for reelection and we won’t forget how they vote on Obamacare.
