HARRY REIDS HUMONGOUS HEALTH CARE BILL - OUR POLITICIANS ARE TOTALLY INSANE - TRULY OUT OF THEIR MINDS!


THE UNITED STATES SENATE HUMAN WRECKING NUT BALL HARRY REID UP TO HIS INSANE SHENANIGANS ONCE AGAIN. NOW HE WANTS MEMBERS OF THE SENATE TO VOTE ON THE SO-CALLED HEALTH CARE BILL THIS WEEKEND!





NO ONE HAS READ THIS BILL.....NO ONE!!!!! NO ONE WILL HAVE TIME TO READ A BILL THAT WELL EXCEEDS 2,000 PAGES.





In the Battle of the Health Bills, the Senate wins out, bulk-wise – weighing in at 2,074 pages.

The House health reform bill was a mere 1,990 pages when introduced.

That means the Senate bill -- like the one in the House -- runs more pages than War and Peace, and has nearly five times as many words as the Torah.

The table of contents alone is 14 pages.

“Read the bill!” was a rallying cry of some health reform opponents over the summer. And if Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) gets his way, senators will get a chance to hear every word of it. He’s threatening to the read the legislation from start to finish, which by some estimates could take as long as 48 hours.

SEND ALL FEDERAL REPRESENTATIVES A PINK SLIP NOW!

SEE VIDEO AND THE PRESS RELEASE AND INSTRUCTIONS BELOW:

Send Congress a Pink Slip!

HERE IS HOW YOU SEND EVERY FEDERAL REPRESENTATIVE A PINK SLIP:

News conference, media attention spur total to 5.5 million

WASHINGTON – With more members of Congress extolling it and the news media

reporting on it, the "Send Congress a Pink Slip" campaign experienced its

biggest day ever with another half-million notices sent, putting the total

number of 'pink slips' to over 5.5 MILLION.On Tuesday, four members of the

House of Representatives hailed the program in a Capitol news conference,

saying it is getting the attention of members on both sides of the aisle.

The notices, if stacked vertically, would be more than three times as tall as

the Washington Monument and taller even than Taiwan's 1,671-foot Taipei

Financial Center, the world's tallest building. Laid out end-to-end, they

would stretch 737 miles – from Washington D.C. to St. Louis, Missouri.Have

you sent yours yet? Click here to send a personalized "pink slip" to every

member of Congress."It's an amazing feat, to get that many slips to

Congress," Rep. Steven King, R-Iowa, one of the four members at the press

conference, told WND. "If you look through them, you can index each one back

to an individual. That's powerful. There is a person behind each one of the

slips."The number of "pink slips" is staggering, because they weren't from

people who were answering a telephone poll and participating in a survey, he

noted.Each of the participants, he said, "wrote a check to send a

message."King was joined at the press conference by Reps. Michelle Bachmann,

R-Minn., Trent Franks, R-Ariz., and Louis Gohmert, R-Texas.

Rep. Trent Franks, R-Ariz at Tuesday's press conferenceBachmann cheered the

program on, saying she agrees with the campaign and that it is having a major

impact on her colleagues. She said she was surprised that so many pink slips

were generated even though most Americans had never heard of the program.She

said it's clear the message – delivered through a stack of "pink slips" now

standing approximately five feet high in congressional offices – is getting

through. In addition, Sen. Jim DeMint, R-S.C., was interviewed about the

campaign by Fox News Channel's Greta Van Susteren. "This is putting everyone

on notice," he said. "And I think this is what the American people have been

doing for months now, saying if you keep spending and borrowing, you're going

to get fired."And for the first time, CNN and other news outlets covered the

unprecedented campaign that has generated a total of more than 5.5 million

pink slips to members of the House and Senate.

U.S. Rep. Louie Gohmert, R-Texas, with WND founder Joseph Farah, rightThe

"Send Congress a Pink Slip" campaign has been coordinated by Joseph Farah,

founder and CEO of WND. "Our goal from the beginning was to generate 5

million of these notices," said Farah. "But it now appears we might just be

getting started. Now I think maybe 10 million might be possible.""One of the

questions I get from colleagues is why a news agency would involve itself in

a political advocacy campaign like the 'pink slips' effort. The answer is

that I am an American first and a newsman second. I don't want to see the

foundations that made this country great and that made the notion of a free

press possible destroyed. And that's why we got behind this campaign," he

said.The program already has been the talk of Congress, albeit not always on

the floor of the House or Senate."They're talking about it, but they're only

talking about it behind closed doors and in the elevators as they go up and

down and in very whispered tones," Rep. Tom Price, R-Ga., has said. "Because,

what you hear are people saying, 'How many of those did you get or how many

people came to your office today? And what are you going to do and how are

you going to vote on this?'"Sen. DeMint told Porter on a recent radio show

that some of the bills now pending in Congress already would have been law

had it not been for the "pink slips" appearing in inboxes daily.The "pink

slip" each official will get is a reminder that they work for the taxpayers.

Each is individually printed with the sender's contact information under the

closing salutation "Signed, Your Employer:"

any more spending "If you vote for any of these, your real pink slip will be

issued in the next election," it warns."We encourage citizens to take

individual actions," said Farah. "But when we act as a group, it's more cost-

effective and the results more dramatic. Just try Fed Exing members of

Congress yourself and see what it costs. We have learned from past experience

that Fed Ex actually ensures delivery to members. What they do with them at

that point is their choice." The cost of each message translates to six cents

per message – individually addressed for both the recipient and the sender

and shipped by Fed Ex.The "Send Congress a Pink Slip" program permits

participants to Fed Ex 535 individually addressed pink slips to each member

of Congress, each one with the name and address of the sender for just

$29.95."I believe this campaign, already tremendously successful beyond my

wildest expectations, can have a real impact on politicians whose first

priority is getting re-elected," says Farah. "I think this might be our last

chance to give congressional Democrats something to think about before they

destroy the country. It might be our last, best hope of stopping the

madness."Farah and Porter say the campaign will continue indefinitely.
