Pelosicare Regulates Snack Machines
The House health-care reform plan unveiled last week by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) would do more than regulate insurance companies - it would even regulate vending machines.
The bill, which is posted online, would require that vending machine operators either create new machines that allow the customer to view nutrition facts or post nutritional information for each product near "each article of food or the selection button."
The regulation could wind up costing vendors millions of dollars to make the changes, according to industry estimates.

She's had a role in the demise of California - now she is working on the rest of us and our freedom. Vote her out!!!
One if by land.......Two by sea
She'd really be in trouble if they regulated botox
TheFew.ThePissed.TheTaxpayers.
Leave us alone and leave our freedom of choice alone. Fine job you did with pop machines, now schools are facing money problems from the sales....the kids are now flocking to gas stations and everywhere else, risking accidents doing it. PIGLOSI is a hypocrite pig.
Semper Fi
I only have this to say,,,LEAVE US THE HELL ALONE AND GET OUT OF OUR LIVES!!!!!!!!

This is another fine mess you're trying to get us into, Nancy. Prohibition demonstrated that morality could not be legislated. Healthcare from either the House or the Senate is "politics" and never will be "reform." Pelosicare is as much as a farce as the Speaker is--a farce, a fraud and a fake. Thank heaven that it is "IN GOD I TRUST" and not the Government. Come on 2010!

Hey Pelosi I saw you get cookies from a vending machine in the psych ward. SHAME ON YOU!!!
Alban
Pelosi I don't remember anyone giving the right to rule the world of vending machines. You are an ass. People will continue to do what they want. You can't put us all in jail.
ex dem 101
piglosi should also regulate plastic surgey, because in a warm room her two faces would melt !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
d
She will through extra taxation on all plastic surgery among all medical devices, etc.

My fellow Americans, here is an interesting letter to Nancy Paloser, EVERYONE should take the time to read this.

There won't be any health "Pelosicare." This movement will fail on it's merit, just like the climate lie, and the Communist movement. We (team Josey) are watching them, we are jaguars lying in wait.

I fail to see how giving the public information on the nutrition contents is a bad thing. It will allow people to make better informed decisions.
escarmo
C'mon Pelosi, be real!! Why do you think what you think matters?????

Now, Nancy, how about giving us an outline of the carbon footprint you have made this year traveling by jet at the cost of tax paying citizens, and oh, yeah, the complete expense -- including fuel, pilots, number of trips, meals, reasons for each trip, etc..
Winston Cupp
Pelosi, what an idiot...wishing you a one way trip back to the west coast never to return to Washington....(afraid I've been a bit abrupt, they deserve you)
B.O.H.I.C.A.
What was it they used on Palin that caused her so much leagal cost? Whay can't we do it to Pelosi ???
B.O.H.I.C.A.
No problem - we will just boycott them, save money and lose weight - thanks pelosi!!!
Barbarella
That is what a communist country would do.

Nancy Pelosi is good at regulating SNACK MACHINES, she should learn to regulate how she spends our tax dollars on FLOWERS for her corrupt office. She doesn't deserve beautiful flowers in a office where plans are being made to legalize DOPE!! Someone better check, she might be growing Marijuana right there in her office among her beautiful flowers.
Lee in Pa
So SanFranNan is going to start the food police before she goes? Hope they do pass the BOTOX tax, as a payback.
Amazingoly
Hopefully, she will be voted out in November, so regulate that.

Nancy Pelosi It's hard to beleive that I would ever see a Spkr. of the House of Representatives, that has views more suited to communism, then the democracy, that every day Americans are fighting for Just look at the Cap & Trade Bill, in which there is a provision, that if you want to sell your house, a gov't employee would have to come in your to make it was energy efficent, if not you would be required to correct the inefficencies before you can sell it. On the Fox Nation front page, there is a story, that you can comment on, that she spent $ 3,000.00 on flower's in the last quarter. Democrats, in DC. keep saying we're fighting for the little guy. There are millions of little guy's who have out of work for a year or more. And, this blue blood liberal, spends 3k on flower's. Never mind, America is broke, but, Thank God " our Princess Spkr. has her damn flower's. And, now she has the nerve, to want to dictate what people can have out of a vending machine. The 2010 midtem elections are up in 2010 and here are some cheap and pethetic words, carring, compassion, we must help our fellow Americans obtain their American dream. My favorite, we will not rest until every American, who wants a job has one Speaker Pelosi, will lie to you face while patting you on the back. Warning: Watch your Wallet. My congressman is Chris Carny and can't wait to vote against him and I want to help Arlen Specter, write his speech a for his retirement diinner. Dave Krout Kingston, PA.

redhorse69
need to regulate pelosi and co.
sam12663
Do unto others... Congress is not listening to the will of the people, so I will do the same; I will choose to ignore any legislation they put forth. Let them try and force me to comply.
Toomuchspin
Everybody calm down. We're simply not capable of thinking for ourselves. That's why liberals were invented. So there would be someone to think for us.
ALTACE
Is this woman mentally stable? Yes we have enough sense to know that candy bars, salty fried snacks are fattening. It is still OUR choice Nancy. If I want to eat and get up to 900 pounds, that is MY business. Stay OUT of our lives.

You know Pelosi, the more you tell someone "NO" the more they ignore and do it anyways. If you think that taxing soft drinks, food etc will make us do it, HA! The more you tell a child no the more they will do it. Get off our backs and do some real work for a change.
gold2512
sure,then salt,sugar,oils,carbohydrates,gas powered engines,electric engines,
all natural gas products,carbon footprint,water,electric,cell phone use,internet
use,tax on miles driven in your car and motorcycle,boat engine,atv,jet ski,
restaurant tax,tv usage tax,radio tax,cable radio tax,you name it,it will have a new tax soon-
JamesW62
now do snack machines really cause someone to not be healthy?
i dont think so, it comes down to the person who is buying something in the machine.
Too Many Lost
I'm not a Pelosi fan, but SOMETHING needs to be done.
.
Adult obesity rates increased in 23 states and did not decrease in a single state in the past year.
.
The percentage of obese or overweight children is at or above 30 percent in 30 states.
NonLibber
These ultra left libs are good at 2 things, Tax and Spend, Tax and Spend, Tax and Spend. Pelosi's mantra, If it's something you like and enjoy, you will be taxed on it! I wonder what will happen when people stop buying soda, cigarettes, and fast food because of all the taxes?
T.S.O.L.
Why am I not surprised..... more to come I imagine and ther's nothing to stop them. 2010 will be their demise if it's not too late.
PATRIOT ARMS
I'm sure there will be a "Pelosi Tax" involved as well.
tx redneck
WELL JUST HOW MANY AMERICANS WILL VOTE IN 2010 AND 2012 TO CHANGE THESE LIFETIME OFFICE HOLDERS? YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE, JUST GET OUT AND VOTE.

This is something the federal government does not need to pay for. If citizens are upset about vending machines, then local lawmakers can deal with it.
