Phil Troyer is running for congress. Troyer, or someone in his organization signed up my “personal” email address to receive his electronic newsletter. It’s an email address that is not associated with this site, and one I rarely use. Hmmm.. come to think of it, the last time I used this particular address was to receive email from a certain mayoral campaign.
U.S. Rep. Mark Souder announced today that he is cosponsoring H.R. 4219, the National Commission on American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, which would set-up a ten member, bipartisan panel to provide oversight and accountability to prevent fraud, waste, and abuse relating to stimulus funds.
Last night was a nightmare come true, as house democrats turned their backs on their base and voted to approve Pelosi’s bullshit healthcare plan. They were goaded on by Obama, who told them, “You don’t want those extremist teabag people to win, do you?”
One Republican, Joe Cao, who replaced “Dollar Bill” Jefferson in a democrat district from Louisiana voted yes. 39 Democrats voted no.

It’s now in the hands of the senate. Evan Bayh, beware.
FWIW, the Stupak-Pitts amendment to strip abortion funding from the bill passed. Now we’ll have to wait and see if it can survive the conference committee with the Senate, or a Supreme Court challenge.

“I like the president’s emphasis on the character of our country. I went to medical school because I wanted to take care of people when they get sick. We have millions of people going bankrupt, and the death rate from breast cancer is greater if people don’t have health insurance. We need to somehow make sure all people have health care. The president laid out his plan. In many ways it was rational. He said he was willing to talk to legislators on both sides of the aisle. That’s very good. I hope they take that to heart and don’t keep saying no to any plan that may come along.”
The rain as most of you know came down in buckets. It stopped at a couple of minutes before 9:00. In spite of the rain we had a good turn out, close to 300 people.
