Vote was 219 For 219 Against (Roll Call). 8 Republicans voted For and 2 Did not vote. Enough to have made the difference.

Republicans who voted For:

If you are a constituent of any of the above, you may wish to express your displeasure at their voting for a bill that will do nothing to prevent climate change but will saddle American’s with thousands more in tax increases and job losses. Contact links for each member are available on their web page linked above.

Not Voting were:

Constitutents of Jeff Flake may wish to inquire why he was not able to vote today. Cong. Sullivan was on one month’s leave for treatment of an alcohol addiction. It’s interesting to note that Cong. Patrick Kennedy (D-MA) was taken out of alcohol rehab for the purposes of voting. Dems apparently felt passing this bill was more important, or perhaps more doable, than sobering up a Kennedy.

House GOP Leader John Boehner (OH) describes the rush Democrats imposed on consideration of this bill so that few would have the chance to read it and object:

Dems had 30 years to write this bill, but left only hours to read it or debate it.

Graphic from House Leader Boehner’s blog shows complexity of Democrat bill:

Every Republican, who either voted for this monster of a bill, or was so irresponsible they didn’t bother to vote at all, need to be under investigation to see if they were bought off by our mafia President and his thugs.

Either way they must be recalled or voted out of office at the very first opportunity.

We must stand against this tyranny, because their number one goal is to distroy this nation and look how far they have gotten. I worry that we may be running out of time and options and one day it may be too late. The spider spins his web around his prey until the prey can no longer move and become his food.

It’s happened to many countries in this world, will it happen to us????????????

Two friends, a Doctor and his wife told me in the sixties about their very narrow escape out of Cuba. I’ll never forget them telling how for many months as they left church, people were handing our literature, warning that they were going to loose their freedom. They said, they just through them in the trash, because they thought. it won’t happen here here.

But they had to run for their life and it changed everything. I still remember their words, don’t think it can’t happen anywhere. In all these years there words re-play in my head more often every day and I understand as I watch this Obama’s quest to distroy America in every possible way.

@TexLady: Every Republican, who either voted for this monster of a bill, or was so irresponsible they didn’t bother to vote at all, need to be under investigation to see if they were bought off by our mafia President and his thugs.

I don’t disagree at all. Additionally,however, WE as the political group that we are should make sure to keep their names “alive” and

1:Remember how they screwed this country at voting time.
2:Organize a mass campaign to remind everyone at voting time.
3:Constantly remind them that they are going to be removed NOW.
4: DO IT.

Even as a non-constituent, we should let them know we will remember them on election day – by getting the word out that they voted FOR the bill and the disaster this bill creates.

Vote them out for being stupid!
“I know business are hurting right now and budgets are tight but LETS ADD MORE TAXES TO THEIR BOOKS! GREAT IDEA!”

Again – idiocracy IS a prophecy (IMHO). :(

It is clear to me. We are fighting even our own Republicans We ca not just blindly support Rinos. We need to stand behind and jealously support any candidate who will support our cause. If it is libertarian or Constitutional Party candidates that we need to beat this Washington DC Elites political machine then so do it. The Republican party continues to turn it’s back on our right. With a few exceptions, the Republican party is a toothless doormat allowing the Democratic agenda to roll right over them. Their inability to sell their message, will destroy this fragile economy. I believe that Obama’s real game plan is to do just that.

With Cap and trade. Wages will remain stagnant. Energy cost increases will create inflation that will tumble this recession into a full depression, Unemployment Crime and Hardships will soar as the people suffer.I believe this what he wants. I believe Obama wants to break our economy and make the people desperate for jobs, relief, and in desperation allow the Democrats to transform our nation into a sociol-facist state. With the Democratic high command in control. Demoralized and beaten down people can be inticed into scrapping the Constitution, The Democratic party try to create a new socialist (Fascist) constitution. With the entire country run by some kind of liberal overlords. Who will disarm us, and enslave us within their heavy handed laws.

We must resist this faciast “Change” Tell those Republican party traitors who are supporting all this that we will never suppout you again. We mus find new candidates who would serve as wise statesman, not political hacks and manipulators

There should be a rule..If you didn’t read a bill and can’t answer a question on it then you can’t vote on it.
Obviously the guy who got dragged out of rehab didn’t know what he was voting on, maybe he didn’t even know where he was … Is that what our government has become a bunch of representatives who whore their vote or are they simply mindless robots who follow orders.

It’s time for us ALL to stand up! Vote the weasels out (especially the RINOs) wh ovoted for this crap! Then, let’s start now – EVERY DAY – writing and calling your senator NOT to vote for the Cap & Screw program, the (un)Health Care, the Amnesty Program, Any more Bailouts, and whatever the flavor of the day is. If we ALL call EVERYDAY, then maybe they’d get the message. If not, vote ‘em out – they’re screwing us, let’s screw them!!!

Let’s also call for investigations: Pelosi vs the CIA, ACORN, All the tax cheats in congress..

And, join or form a grassroots group in your area. That will make us more organized and give us a greater voice. I already belong to two – STAND UP FOR OUR COUNTRY.

RINO comes to mind, but then again look at the states they came from, some of the most liberal around.

“…sobering up a Kennedy.” LOL… Good Lord. Can you imagine having *that* on your
To-Do list?

Yes, “sobering up a Kennedy”…pretty much a futile act. I’d like to see the whole clan undergo “Change” and spare us from any more of their “commitment to public service”.
