Sen. Coburn Requires Reading of 767-Page Health Care Amndt
Senator Tom Coburn (R-OK)
CNS News and USA Today are reporting Senator Tom Coburn (R-OK) has invoked his right to require that a 767-page amendment to the Senate government health care bill be read aloud by the clerk.
The original Senate bill was 2,000+ pages, and these socialists want to add 767 pages to it?
Darn right they ought to have to read this bunk out loud! They ought to have to read the entire 2,000+ pages of the whole bill read aloud at every available opportunity.
This is part of how socialists in congress have managed to push so much unconstitutional, anti-American crap on the American people: with huge bills that no one can properly digest before they become law.
If these socialists are dead-set on forcing government health care on the American people, they ought to be made to fight for every inch along the way. Representatives dedicated to the protection of American’s liberties and the preservation of the U.S. Constitution should use every tool and means at their disposal to fight off and delay this assault on our way of life.
A significant component of our success during the Revolutionary War in fighting off the most powerful empire on earth was that we made the British pay for every inch, we refused to give up, we proved that we wanted our freedom more than they wanted to keep us under their thumb.
It’s time the American people and the minority of their defenders in Washington once again prove that we want our freedom more than they want to keep us under the thumb of government.
