IS HEALTH REFORM UNCONSTITUTIONAL?
Why Does Obama Keep Bringing Terrorists To America?
President Barack Obama seems to have won over enough Congressional Democrats to push forward with his plan to
move Guantanamo prisoners to a facility in rural Illinois, but the official announcement Tuesday triggered a firestorm of
criticism that could undercut his stated goal of depriving Al Qaeda of a key propaganda point.
In taking this action, we are removing from terrorist organizations around the world the recruiting tool that Guantanamo
has come to symbolize,” National Security Adviser James Jones told reporters.
Today’s announcement that the federal government will acquire the Thomson Correctional Center in Thomson, Illinois, to
house federal inmates and a limited number of detainees from Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, is an important step forward as
we work to achieve our national security objectives,” another top administration official said in a conference call with
reporters.

Sanders of Vermont vowed it will return when the realization dawns that private insurance companies "are no longer needed."
The proposal's demise came as Senate Democratic leaders and the White House sought agreement with Sen. Ben Nelson, D-
Neb., to become the 60th supporter of President Barack Obama's health care overhaul — the number needed to overcome a
Republican filibuster.
Nelson has met three times in the past nine days with Obama. While he is seeking stricter curbs on abortions in the insurance
system the bill would establish, he also has raised issues in his home state that are unrelated to the health care legislation,
according to an official with close ties to the senator. The official spoke on grounds of anonymity to discuss private
conversations.
Sanders, an independent and socialist, said his approach is the only one "which eliminates the hundreds of billions of dollars in
waste, administrative costs, bureaucracy and profiteering that is engendered by the private insurance companies." His remarks
drew handshakes and even a hug or two from Democrats who had filed into the Senate to hear him.
Sanders acknowledged the proposal lacked the votes to pass, and he chose to withdraw it after Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla.,
exercised his prerogative and required Senate clerks to begin reading the 767-page proposal aloud to a nearly empty
chamber. After three hours, they were 139 pages into it.
Republicans accused Democrats of trampling on Senate procedure in allowing Sanders to interrupt the reading, and
Republican leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky said the incident showed the majority party "is willing to do anything to jam
through a 2,000-page bill before the American people or any of us has a chance to read it."
It was unclear how much, if any, headway Nelson's pursuers were making as they struggle to pass the health care measure by
Christmas.
The Nebraska lawmaker told reporters he was reviewing a proposal to toughen abortion restrictions in the legislation. Nelson
said the compromise negotiated by anti-abortion Sen. Bob Casey, D-Pa., involves attempt to separate private and public
funds, an approach that in the past failed to sway the Nebraska moderate and Catholic bishops.
Asked whether the new language was satisfactory, Nelson said, "I don't know at this point in time. Constituency groups
haven't responded back yet."
Nelson emerged as the lone known holdout among 60 Democrats and independents earlier in the week after Sen. Joe
Lieberman, I-Conn., forced supporters of the bill to remove a proposed Medicare expansion.

Single-payer health care plan dies in Senate
If health reform is so great, why does everyone want to be exempt from it? And aren't those exemptions, as well as
the individual mandate forcing people to buy coverage, also unconstitutional? Yes it is!
Unions, federal, state and local employees, senior citizens in Florida, Michigan taxpayers in Blue Cross/Blue Shield,
the states of Nebraska, Vermont and Massachusetts, along with 17 states, religious objectors, policemen,
firefighters, longshoremen, construction workers, miners, and fishermen, all have won or are in the process of
winning legislative exemptions that say they don’t have to abide by health reform, or certain parts of it.
Legal experts say these exemptions are unconstitutional, as unlucky Americans with high cost plans who don't get
these exemptions will have to pay more, so they may not feel so equally protected under this new law.
Coverage costs are high because health costs are high, which this reform does nothing to stop. Insurance costs will
go even higher as those unlucky Americans in Cadillac plans will have to cover the costs of special interests who get
an exemption.

Fair Warning, Speaker Pelosi The Tea PartyMovement Aims to Block
Your Health Care Blitzkrieg
Your Health Care Blitzkrieg
By Deneen Borelli and Tom Borelli FOXNews.com
The Democratic leadership’s stubborn determination to ram their health care plan down America's throat shows they
remain tone-deaf and that they underestimate the Tea Party movement.
Tea Party patriots beware: after calling the grassroots movement “AstroTurf” last summer, House Speaker Nancy
Pelosi revealed to ABC this weekend that she now shares some of Tea Party views.

Tea Party-Related Groups Meet RNC's Steele
Committee Chairman Michael Steele and other top Republicans are meeting with about 50 leaders of various conservative,
grass-roots groups Tuesday.
The participants will discuss ideology and campaign tactics, The Washington Post reports.
The afternoon meeting on Capitol Hill represents the first time that a wide coalition of grass-roots organizations has
consulted with the top Republican brass.
The GOP has been trying to figure out how to include tea party members in its effort to reverse the Democrats’ majorities in
Congress during this year’s elections.
Karin Hoffman, founder of DC Works For Us, a conservative, grass-roots group in South Florida, told the Post she came
up with the meeting idea and presented it to Steele last month.
About 30 groups from around the country were to be represented at today's meeting. Participants are all paying their own
way to attend.
Hoffman’s aim is to create a line of discussion with Republican leaders. "From the get-go, the grass-roots movement
emerged from people desiring to be heard and not feeling like their voices are being heard in Washington," she said.
The Republican Party has to tread carefully, however. Leaders of several major tea party groups have voiced suspicions
that some GOP leaders want to co-opt or "hijack" the movement to advance party interests.
“We had to stand our ground, I’ll be blunt,” Dann Selle, president of the Official Tea Party of Spokane, Wash., told The
New York Times.
The media has billed the meeting as a pow-wow between the GOP and tea party activists. But a news release from the DC
Works For Us group merely refers to a gathering of "grass-roots organizations," not tea party organizations per se.
Everett Wilkinson, a Tea Party Patriots leader, told Newsmax, "The tea party movement is not involved in this."
