Weekly Republican Address 6/26/10: Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI)

admin — Sun, 04 Jul 2010 23:07:49 +0000

Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) says Washington Democrats’ unprecedented decision to cancel this year’s budget will wreak havoc on our economy and make it even harder to put people back to work.

The House Budget Committee’s top Republican, Ryan says Democrats’ plan to continue their out-of-control ‘stimulus’ spending spree and raise taxes on middle-class families is a “recipe for disaster.”

He also challenges President Obama and Washington Democrats to stop running out the clock and “make the tough choices they promised they would, put moral obligation before political expedience, and focus on what’s in the best interests of the next generation, not the next election.”

With economists saying immediate fiscal discipline is needed to create jobs, Ryan notes that Republicans have already identified $1.3 trillion in specific spending cuts that could be implemented right now.

Rep. Ryan is in his sixth term representing the people of Wisconsin’s 1st Congressional District.

I am new to YouTube, and, as such, I don’t know how to create a video. Therefore, I am uploading a copy of a video I got from YouTube member, “NakedEmperorNews.” I hope you don’t mind; I’m not trying to violate copyright, as this is a spare “backup copy” file copy for personal, educational, non-profit purposes to save the nation. (As an aside, I just realized that this is a public hearing which is probably in the public domain, and not able to be copyrighted, but I still give credit to the source herein and am of the undersanding that the owner wanted this passed on.) I converted it from FLV to AVI, and I am converting it back to FLV upon upload, so it may lose some resolution integrity. Sincerely, Gordon Wayne Watts, Lakeland, Florida, USA

Buchanan Pushes To Open Health Care Talks To Public

Buchanan To Force House Vote On Sunshine Resolution

Announces He Will File Discharge Petition To Open Health Care Talks To Public

Washington, D.C. U.S. Rep. Vern Buchanan (FL-13), sponsor of the Sunshine Resolution requiring public access to negotiations on the health care bill, announced today that he will file a discharge petition Wednesday to force a House vote on his proposal.
In Florida we have one of the strongest right-to-know laws aimed at ensuring that government leaders conduct the peoples business in public, said Buchanan. No private meeting, no backroom deals, no secrecy. Its time to shine some Florida Sunshine on the Halls of Congress.
Back-room deals are being made to create a massive new entitlement program that seeks to overhaul a sixth of our countrys entire economy. Buchanans resolution demands that meetings to discuss the final details of the health care reform bill be conducted in the open under the watchful eye of the American people.

Health care reform is one of the largest public policy reforms taken up by Congress in generations, added Buchanan. If enacted, the final bill will impact the lives of all Americans. With so much at stake, any conference committee or meetings held to determine the content of sweeping national health care legislation should be held in full public view, not behind closed doors.

Buchanan will file the discharge petition tomorrow with House Minority Leader John Boehner to bring H. Res. 847 to the House floor for a vote.

Legislation as critical as the Democrats health care bill – with its Medicare cuts and tax hikes – shouldnt be slapped together in a backroom deal, said Boehner. Rep. Vern Buchanans resolution requiring the negotiations be public is the right thing to do.
Buchanans resolution was introduced in October of 2009 and is cosponsored by a bipartisan group of more than 150 lawmakers.
Once a majority of the House, 218 Members, has signed the discharge petition, it is placed on the House calendar over the objections of the House Speaker and Majority Leader. Sweeping campaign finance reform legislation was the last bill to be brought to the House floor through a discharge petition. The measure was then passed by the House and signed into law.

Congressman FAIL

admin — Sat, 10 Apr 2010 11:29:13 +0000

Republican congressman Eric Cantor of Virginia – the minority party whip – said that earlier this week his office was hit by a bullet which broke a window. Turns out police determined the bullet was fired up in the air and randomly fell through Cantor’s window. While we still don’t believe the story (and wouldn’t be surprised if Cantor created the whole incident), we do believe it’s time to move past the angry tit-for-tat rhetoric and get back to solving more of America’s problems.

Big Gov’t Forces Health Care Bill Despite Bi-partisan Opposition

admin — Mon, 29 Mar 2010 07:32:22 +0000

http://www.infowars.com/

IN A SPECIAL NEWS BULLETIN, Alex Jones warns against the Big Government, Big Insurance Health Care Bill being forced down in the Senate despite opposition by
members in both parties and an overwhelming majority of Americans.

After all the denial, the final version of the bill proves to have in place the so-called death panels, the abortion funding, no public option, cuts in Medicare and forced coverage backed
by heavy fines or prison.

Outrageously, Senator Reid & co. have added a section to the bill, Section 3403, that prevents
any future Congress from changing the Medicare Advisory Boards (i.e. the ‘death panels’). Section 3403 reads “it shall not be in order in the Senate or the House of Representatives to consider any bill, resolution, amendment, or conference report that would repeal or otherwise change this subsection.”
Watch the video for Alex’s full analysis.
