The Health Care reform debate took another turn on Wednesday when the U.S. Senate voted to table the pro-life Nelson-Hatch amendment to the Senate health bill, which effectively kills the amendment and makes it clear that the Senate bill will open up massive federal funding for abortion if this bill passes.

Democrat leadership needs 60 votes to invoke cloture on the bill, which basically
means it ends the filibuster threat and moves the bill on for final passage. Currently it does not appear that they have the 60 votes needed.

Senator Evan Bayh will now be the target of intense lobbying by the White House,
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, and others. It is very possible that Bayh’s
vote on cloture could be the deciding vote.

A vote for cloture is a vote for federal funding for abortion – it’s that simple.
Please contact Senator Bayh and let him know that a vote for cloture is a vote for
federal funding for abortion.

Urge him to “VOTE NO ON CLOTURE.”

Representative Michele Bachmann, (R) from Minnesota on Pelosi’s healthcare plan.

Worth spending 7 minutes watching.

Baron Hill a Blue Dog Democrat? Hardly. He calls Pelosi’s public option “a big win.” This is a bill that will result in penalizing Americans an estimated $167 billion if you think you don’t need insurance.

This is a bill that is 1990 pages long. They have 72 hours to read it. That’s reading 28 pages an hour, non-stop.

Transparency my ass.

Headline idea from Chris Faulkner on Twitter.

Via Politico

Hours after POLITICO posted results of a poll showing a possible backlash by Indiana Dems, Sen. Evan Bayh (D-Ind.) backed off of previous statement saying he was considering siding with the GOP on a public option filibuster.

Freakin’ amazing.

I was sent a must read this morning written by Thomas Sowell, a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University. Rather than post bits and pieces here, jump over to his web site, it’s worth the read.

Here’s an interesting idea and you can help the Indiana economy at the same time.

Kids at the Ron Clark Academy located in Atlanta, GA appeared on the Clinton News Network (CNN) today, singing for health care reform set to Miley Cyrus’ “Party in the USA.” In the song they sing, “Obama says everyone needs health care now.”

The president of the Ron Clark academy is Alonzo Llorens, an attorney and ardent Obama supporter and contributor. He’s also contributed to the John (I never saw a Breck girl I wouldn’t hump) Edwards campaign.
