Up Or Down. Bring It Home. 5 March 2010

The people of USA voted for Democratic members of Congress and a Democratic President to GOVERN.

Bring the major legislative action on Health Care to an "Up Or Down - Majority Rules" vote. Vote it up. Bring it home. Get this going.

Should any piece of Democratic legislation be threatened with a filibuster by any one, the Democratic Party response MUST be "Majority rules, bring it to the floor. Give the piece of legislation an up or down vote."

The members of the Democratic Party have exhausted every possible excuse trying to avoid doing what the people sent them to do. The Republicant Party cannot be used as cover for Democratic Party not governing. No more half-stepping, no more posturing. No more 'sun was in my eyes and it was too dark to see,' 'the world is flat - no body likes me' excuses.

Govern and the people will support the leadership. Do nothing and the Democratic Party deserves nothing but the people's scorn.

1. It's too late. They already turned off the base. This is a Bill nobody likes, and it won't do the

Democratic Party any good in November to pass it at this late date.

The DINOS, Blue Dogs, and their centrist enablers in the White House have already earned the people's scorn.

2. Bush said the same things on his judicial nominees

When the filibuster was being used then. Why is the "up or down" right in this case but wrong then? Logically, it is either right in both cases or wrong in both cases. It can't be both.


And sorry if I don't feel warm and gleeful about being told that I will either have to give an inhibitively large percentage of my income to health insurance companies or face a tax penalty. And I have determined it will be more affordable to me to pay the penalty. I just hope they'll let us withhold the penalty from each paycheck so it won't hurt as much as a direct fine at tax time.
