Town Hall Season: Dems Brace for Another Recess
The last time Congress returned home for an extended break in August, health care reform proponents lost ground that took weeks to regain — but not again, Democrats insist as they head into the Veterans Day recess.
The landscape is a bit different this time. House Democrats passed a sweeping bill Saturday night, giving lawmakers something to tout back home but also providing Republicans with more concrete opportunities to criticize.
The Senate is closer to a health care floor debate, albeit moving at a much slower pace.

I highly doubt the dems will make themselves available while in recess. I think they will hide behind telecom town halls, telephone town halls, or no town halls at all. They are not going to give the opposition to question them.

I'm sure somebody has already mentioned this but it's worth mentioning again. Brave caution as I sense the socialist goons will be on the hunt and a willing press in collusion with them. Don't take the bait. Bark but don't bite. Smile as we cut them down with cold hard facts. They can't handle the truth.

==================================
So, then the bill has been signed into law? Or, are you so stupid to understand that it went to the senate where Reid says it's not a viable bill. Ooops, you mean the senate isn't gonna pass the bill? Yep, you're right.

Ask your congresspersons directly whether the governement will or will not be allowed to place IRS liens on private property to recoup the costs of medical care===========================================
I will be asking. But I hardly get much more than standard letters on issues even when I asked for specifics...and they are Republicans. I can only wonder what the Democrats give as answers. So I am not going to hold my breath. I wish I had kept notes on some other things you said.

@JV-IL:
Hey, fellow Illinoisan! Don't hold your breath waiting for that Durbin town hall! Sad to say, he KNOWS how his constituents feel, and can't face us. My guy in the House (Shimkus) voted his constituents' wishes, though. We can hire, and we can fire. I WILL be voting for Shimkus again!

A lot of you here don't realize that when you signed the paper to get your SS# that you were signing a contract with the US Govt. to become property of them, not a private citizen anymore.
Do some studying an you'll see that I am right....======================
You made the vague claim now prove it. I got my SS# a long long time ago. It was required to work. I do not remember what it said. Don't think they even gave me a copy. If they did it was destroyed in a fire long ago also. What are you talking about? Got a link to what you are implying? If you are going to use scare tactics you need to be more specific.

Proof these Dem's are out of touch and out of control; who else would keep poking a mad tiger with a stick? The majority that does not want their wild spending, insane social programs, or the collapse of the dollar is comprised of Americans, and not just Republicans. There are Democrats, Independants, hell, anybody with a brain, a conscience, and the ability to balance a checkbook really. What a surprise they are in for come the elections, but even scarier, I don't think they care. It's like they are obsessed or possessed just plain deaf or something.

"mad tiger"? How about crazed kitty cat?

Yes "Truth Hurts", we are all so harmless. Which is usually what liberals love to think before they jump into the lions den.

Oh no, not another session of the loud, rude and obnoxious town hall screamers. These folks are the minority. Being the rudest and loudest makes them a lot of things, being right or the majority isn't among them.

They should fear the opposition now more than ever. They ignored the majority opinion and carried on their evil ways with the utmost arrogance possible. I can't wait to see how much balls they have to face us now as we come at them stronger than ever!

When they are asked "if this is so great why don't you sign in to it?", they avoid they question and say congress has their own set up.
The thought of them in this plan makes them repulsed and their stomachs turn just thinking about it.

83% of the public are satisfied with their insurance. What don't they leave the regular citizens alone and use their OWN MONEY to help the lazy, looking -for-hand-out-gimee-gimme types. b hUSSEIN the millionaire could spread his own wealth to the poor if he's so bent on it.
Leave the 83% alone or subject your own selves to this BRUTALITY ACT.

Yee hah! Can't wait. Hope my cowardly senator mans up and has a town hall this time. Durbin keeps a low profile a lot these days.

Did you see all the leftists got up afte thier welfare nap to attack this blog...weeee you'd think somebody mentioned Sarah Palin the way the liberals nutcases came out...Smarter, Major Tom, Truth Hurts, you guys work at Acorn? Not one lib will answer that question....Mmmmmm wonder why?

This is a country who lends it's power to a select few. We have been lied to and trampled on as the political leaders turn this into an oligarchy where the few in Washington are doing everything they can to rule the country. They have forgotten we lend them the power to govern, to represent us. But they believe they can do whatever they want to do. Keep standing up to this uprising tyranny, make your voices heard. If they meet you with their thugs of SEIU and ACORN do not be intimidated, stand and be heard. This is yours and my country and together we shall all take it back and restore the Constitution, and make these elected dictators accountable.

Ask your congresspersons directly whether the governement will or will not be allowed to place IRS liens on private property to recoup the costs of medical care. We need to know because when the public option puts private insurers out of business, we will have no options. Government will control medical care AND costs. When we accept govt medical care, we will owe them (they'll decide how much). Premiums and taxes will never pay for the program. To recoup the costs of care, they will come after our assets, probably thru IRS liens. People who own no property or have no assets have nothing to lose. They will get care and pay very little - we will lose everything. This will destroy private property rights and redistribute the wealth.

This would stop the buying of votes by the Democrats since you can't offer a man anything if he's going home after the next election.

Why do you post the same liberal bs statement on every story. Can't you think of your own idea instead of cutting and pasting from dailykos? How pathetic.
