Sen. Jay Rockefeller declared Tuesday afternoon that, "the public
option is on the march." Moments later, the Senate Finance
Committee defeated his proposal for a government-run plan by a
15-8 vote, with five Democrats joining all 10 Republicans on the
committee in voting against it.
The five Democrats voting "no" were: Sens. Max Baucus, Kent
Conrad, Blanche Lincoln, Bill Nelson, and Thomas Carper.
The committee is now considering a different version of a
government plan introduced by Sen. Chuck Schumer, which would not
have the government directly set reimbursement rates at Medicare
levels.
Based on statements to date, this amendment is likely to be
defeated also, but by a narrower margin than Rockefeller's.
I'm hereby requesting that all TAXPAYING AMERICANS be """""ON THE
MARCH"""" beginning with the 2010 elections to eliminate the
Schumers, etc of Washington DC; and to replace same with
congressional representatives who will answer to the TAXPAYING
AMERICAN CITIZENS who pay their salaries and who fund the
activities of our government. The Acorns', Van Joneses,etc of
this world have NEVER paid for anything; and it is high time that
we TAKE BACK this country!!!!!!!

I am stating that I am hereby in full agreement with OLDEFARTE!
VOTE THE BUMS OUT!
As to the above write up~ They will continue "watering it down"
till it sounds good enough to be passed. PRAY that God will turn
the hearts of these law makers to do the right thing, and
continue voting NO all the way.

I am not certain what march Rockereller is referring to but it is
not about public oppionion on government run health care. He
sounds like he has delusional thoughts and perhaps auidtory
hallucinations. He has what I would call Political Dimentia ( PD
) with delusional and arrogant thoughts.
