Just after 1 a.m. this morning, the United States Senate voted to end debate on the health care reform bill that will create $2.5 trillion in new spending, will burden states with hundreds of millions of dollars in unfunded Medicaid mandates, and generates myriad new taxes for you and your employer.
While Hoosiers were sleeping and he thought no one was paying attention, Sen. Evan Bayh was the 60th vote that Democrats needed to move the bill forward. Had he opposed it, the process would be slowed down so Democrats could explain what they are doing with their legislation. Instead, his vote helped speed up the process. A vote for final passage has already been set for Christmas Eve.
What a Christmas gift: the Democrats handing out your tax dollars!
Democrats continue to push this bill as quickly as possible so that Americans have no chance to learn about the consequences until it is too late. And even though he complained to reporters last week about out-of-control federal spending, Evan Bayh has now voted twice to move this massive spending bill forward.
Time is ticking away, but Evan Bayh can still stand with Hoosiers and oppose this bill. Please call or e-mail Sen. Bayh before Christmas Eve and tell him to oppose this bill that will greatly damage our economy and our health care.
Bayh is a Hypocrite
Just last week, Bayh sent a mass email to voters saying he was “Fed Up With Spending.” In it, he even praised Ronald Reagan!
Bayh is a hypocrite masquerading as a fiscal conservative Republican by supporting Democratic health care reform that collects taxes from you starting in 2010. Not until 2014 will Uncle Sam start handling out health care entitlements. Ironically, now that Democrat-style health care reform is closer to reality, Bayh’s position as a “debt-fighter” precedes Democrats’ one-track mind of raising your taxes.
Democrats say Republicans offer no solutions, however, the Dems argue taxes and nanny-state government is the solution. The trouble is, bigger government brings more corruption — and events like an extremely rare Christmas Eve vote.

The Democrats are fighting hard for robbing from the rich and enslaving the poor with a welfare state for everyone. When are you going to speak up and against the Democrats?
Check out excerpts from this mass email from the Democratic National Committee:
Democratic senators are currently fighting hard alongside the President to pass reform. They deserve our appreciation. Republicans are still trying to score partisan points rather than stand up for American families.
If we don’t pass health reform, millions of Americans will be trapped in a broken status quo. … There’s too much at stake not to get this done. That’s why Obama For America supporters have made 849,856 calls to Congress in support of health reform since August.
As a Republican, it is your duty to make the call, to speak out, and to share your disgust for the Democrats strong-arming you, your prosperity, and your well-being.

We have sent several msgs. Apparently it doesn’t make any difference! We can not be any more clear than we have. They hold states hostage with the threat of withholding federal funds. This is abt big Gov. getting bigger at the expense of the people. If they cut back some of their salaries & eliminate some of the wasted positions in D.C. it would accomplish much more than all their rhetoric. If Americans would come together and limit terms and not make being a Politican so lucrative we would have a much better Gov. We gave them the “power” they now hold over us. It appears to be all abt greed, money, power, payoffs…not integrity, character, justice, freedom and God.
