The Blue Dog democrats in Congress have struck a deal to allow HR 3200 to advance in the House:
“WASHINGTON, July 29 (Reuters) – Democratic leaders in the U.S. House of Representatives have reached a deal with a group of fiscal conservatives in their own party on how to move forward with healthcare legislation, a leading lawmaker said on Tuesday.
Representative Mike Ross, who leads the so-called “Blue Dog” conservative coalition, said they had reached a deal with leadership after days of long negotiations.
CNN said that under the agreement, a healthcare bill would be moved to committee by Friday but that the full House would not take the issue up until September after it returns from its month-long break.
(Reporting by Jackie Frank, Editing by Sandra Maler) ((Washington newsroom +1 202 898 8300))”
Apparently the full vote is still not expected until September. This is good news. Can we get REAL HEALTH CARE REFORM on the table before then?
We’re reading HR 3200 right HERE and it’s a stinking MESS! For comparison’s sake, do yourself a favor and check out HR 676, a bill with 85 co-sponsors so far, which would immediately make honest-to-goodness health care available to every citizen in the simplest, most fair, and universal way. It should take you no longer than 8 minutes to read this lovely, lovely bill. If you can’t click, I make it easy for you by providing the first paragraph:
- All individuals residing in the United States (including any territory of the United States) are covered under the USNHI Program entitling them to a universal, best quality standard of care. Each such individual shall receive a card with a unique number in the mail. An individual’s social security number shall not be used for purposes of registration under this section.
- (b) Registration- Individuals and families shall receive a United States National Health Insurance Card in the mail, after filling out a United States National Health Insurance application form at a health care provider. Such application form shall be no more than 2 pages long.
- (c) Presumption- Individuals who present themselves for covered services from a participating provider shall be presumed to be eligible for benefits under this Act, but shall complete an application for benefits in order to receive a United States National Health Insurance Card and have payment made for such benefits.
(Yes, I would advocate to limit coverage to legal citizens.)
The mechanism for funding this “Equal Health Care for ALL Americans” is easily read and understood in the text of the bill.
How come we can’t have HR 676??
More info about this bill HERE.
For more background and smart commentary about health care reform, Correntewire has been consistently excellent.
Don’t be confused: HR 3200 is a swindle and a giveaway to the for-profit players in health care. We do NOT need a bad bill. We would be MUCH better off with nothing than with something that makes a mess of everything and breaks the national bank just so obama and emmanuel can cross something big off their To-Do List before the midterm elections. HR 3200 is a piece of junk.
Call and email your congressional reps HERE and tell them: If it’s broken, don’t break it even more!
UPDATE: Please watch the following. You’ll know a LOT more when you’re done. William McGuire, the CEO of United Health (the largest for-profit insurer in the USA) earned an average of $125,000,000 (125 million dollars) a year during his tenure. He also received stock options worth $1.6 BILLION dollars. During that time, one million Americans a year who HAD HEALTH INSURANCE, were forced into bankruptcy and off the insurance rolls due to illness and staggering medical bills. Millions of Americans kicked off insurance rolls and left to be ill or die destitute (yes, tens of thousands of them died and continue to die every day) after PAYING for insurance coverage for YEARS, so that William McGuire and his top management team could squeeze billions of dollars in profit out of an evil company for their very own private overseas bank accounts. Evil. Despicable.
This one has great facts about HR 676 as well as very sweet doctors with New York accents:
This one will make you cry and then be enraged. Watch it:

Matt Taibbi nails it again. it’s not too long, and an EXCELLENT read:
“The reason a real health-care bill is not going to get passed is simple: because nobody in Washington really wants it. There is insufficient political will to get it done. It doesn’t matter that it’s an urgent national calamity, that it is plainly obvious to anyone with an IQ over 8 that our system could not possibly be worse and needs to be fixed very soon, and that, moreover, the only people opposing a real reform bill are a pitifully small number of executives in the insurance industry who stand to lose the chance for a fifth summer house if this thing passes.
It won’t get done, because that’s not the way our government works. Our government doesn’t exist to protect voters from interests, it exists to protect interests from voters. The situation we have here is an angry and desperate population that at long last has voted in a majority that it believes should be able to pass a health care bill. It expects something to be done. The task of the lawmakers on the Hill, at least as they see things, is to create the appearance of having done something. And that’s what they’re doing. Personally, I think they’re doing a lousy job even of that.”

Plan *STILL* $820 BILLION above target:
http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0709/25520.html
CBO’s analysis shows quite clearly that the proposed changes to federal health care commitments would worsen the deficit by $1.042 trillion, with proposed health care savings netting only $219 billion. The net effect of these health care “reforms,” therefore, is to dig the financial hole in federal health care programs deeper — not by $239 billion but by $820 billion over the next decade.
Worse yet, by the 10th year of the analysis, the additional annual costs of the proposed health care changes would be more than four times the expected savings — worsening the imbalance by more than $150 billion in the 10th year alone. Thus, the more than $800 billion gap would only grow larger over time, with no end in sight.

I just heard a reporter on CNN say
“Obama is having town hall meetings to convince people they “”MIGHT”" be able to keep their doctor and they “”might”" be able to keep their exsisting health care.
I realise they are the words of a reporter and not Obamas but it shows the scope of NO one knows what we might be able to do or not do because the bill is written like crap.
Also a long that line a dem talking head said” nothing will CHANGE” why are people so worried about Change?
HUH?
Well why spend 100 billion if nothing is going to Change?
Why have a bill and waste all this energy if nothing is going to Change.?
The administration of Change is now telling us nothing will change and do not be afraid if it might change.

This is a letter I am faxing to my reps now:
Dear Representative [insert name here],
RE: H.R. 3200 – Universal Health Care Bill
I am writing to strongly urge you to vote NO on H.R. 3200. While I support health care reform, I am adamantly opposed to ‘Government-run’ healthcare. This bill does not protect or respect my individual rights to privacy, choice of doctors or the ability to keep my current private insurer. This bill will also cause more layoffs in small businesses with the increased taxation.
Even though President Obama has tried his best to prevent everyone in the government from using the term “rationing”, it is clear that if enacted, this bill will indeed lead to health-care rationing and a huge budget deficit that will affect our economy for decades to come. President Obama will state that health-care rationing such as in Canada will not occur, but it is only common sense that if deficit spending must be controlled (and it should), then rationing in the government-run health care system is the only way to do that. He and Congress cannot continue to fool the American People.
We the People are insulted that our government thinks that we are so foolish that we cannot read the bill ourselves and see what the government is proposing.
I urge you to stop H.R. 3200 now and start over with a more sensible approach to a healthcare bill that will provide affordable, quality healthcare to those in need, yet will not bankrupt our nation and take away our constitutional rights.
Lastly, please do America a favor and READ all bills before voting on them!
Thank you,

OK..trying to calm down and do some checking.
Electrical Union # 177 AFL-CIO
Here is what I was just told…my son lost his insurance through my ex-husband last Aug…is finally getting it back Aug 1st. (thank god)…due to job lay offs, and not enough quarter work hours.
The union until Jan 2006 had always been self funded throught a board of trustee. In Jan 2006 they took out insurance with BCBS (hospital & Dr)..Sav-R- (drug program)..VSP (vision)..MetiLife (dental), and we are in Fl and it is written through GA..cheaper, but could do that under union rules…cross state lines. (thought that was a no no, but they did it)
Here is how it was explained..the way the plan is right now..if..or should I say when.. my ex gets laid off again. My son would loss his coverage and be requires to go through the goverment program.. because that would be a break or change in policy. You would not only loss your coverage but they would be unable to rewrite or pick you up once you meet quarterly hour requirements.
So the fact that my ex has worked for the union for 30+yrs..want mean SH*t..and this is how the take over of private insurance will happen. This is how the unions will switch everyone over, and you will have NO say in it.
An the time is NOW as he said..due to job loses and lay offs, they will move large numbers fast. That is why it has Union support. (inside inf older sons ex father-in-law)
Now rather than being pizzed, crying and getting angry, done all 3.. I am of the mind set that they WIN and all of US LOSE.
The take over of America, is happening now, and people do not even see it coming, or the ones that do can’t stop it!

Deb55 07.29.09 at 3:56 pm
Meant to add one more thing I found intresting in that phone call. It will NOT affect Ed or the other union leaders, why because they hold their jobs at all times.
Where the union workers, in this case electricians, may have a company change..Sun Elect to Miller Elect.. within the union to fill needed jobs to complete projects. Once they do not have enough hours for the quarter they normally lose coverage until those are built back up. Once they go one the books, and their coverage is lost now they will Not get it back. The working middle case, is the loser not the Union leaders..who get paid rather well.
My granddaughter has had many trips to Disney, and other places paid for by the union. This one takes the cake…GD rents a limo for her and her girlfriends every year to take them around to see Christmas lights. Our Union dollars at work.

Read health care bill HR 676 and one of my favorite parts of this simple bill that anyone can understand is this part:
(b) Patient option.—Notwithstanding that all billing shall be preformed electronically, patients shall have the option of keeping any portion of their medical records separate from their electronic medical record.
The list of sponsors included some dems that I thought were heavy Obama backers. And this explains Conyers remark that I think many misunderstood about what good does it do to read a bill that needs 2 lawyers to interpret before you can understand it. He has a wicked sens of humor that some do not get, even though he seems to support Obmama in general. And I know Kucinich will never sell out to big money, no matter how many people make fun of him.

Obama currently in Krogers holding a town hall meeting on health care making jokes about shopping for some fruit before he leaves. Fox is saying that this is a game holder but not really a game changer. This is not enough to get this passed so there is time to protest (my analysis, not Fox’s).

BCL #35, amen sister.
simple, elegant, clean.
Phase out for-profit insurance over 15 years. Any non-profit hospital or community or business association that wants to get together to deliver health care can offer private insurance.
Massively reduce overhead and paperwork. No exclusions, no pre-existing conditions, no worry about changing/losing jobs.
We pay $15,000+ per year for a family of five. Under HR 676 we would pay about half that. For the SAME coverage.
Right now the average family pays about 15% of its income on health insurance (through employee contribution, medicare tax, and employee contribution).
The very rich pay tenths of a percent of their income (because, der, they make SO MUCH more than you or I, but a family of five earning $750,000 a year still only pays $15k a year for insurance).
Under HR 676 the average family’s health care burden would go from 15% of income to 4.75% of income.
Or think of it this way. We ALREADY pay 3.3% in medicare tax to pay for Medicare for the elderly (there’s no guarantee the money we put in now will be there for us when we hit 65 — the money we pay in every week gets spent now, it’s not in a lockbox somewhere waiting for us to retire.)
So we ALREADY pay 3.3% for health care coverage that we’re not getting (it’s going to the already retired/elderly). Doesnt it make sense to pay a little more now (1.45% more to be exact) and immediately get the the benefit??
It’s just so crazy and simple it just might work!
Think about it. Who would lose or pay more under HR 676?
1. For profit health insurers (their abuses and evil ways are well-known)
2. Congressmen and Senators who rake in hundreds of millions from the for-profit industry every damn election cycle.
3. For profit hospitals, clinics, and nursing homes.
4. Families earning more than $350,000 a year would, on average, see a higher percentage of their income going to health care. EVERYONE would pay 4.75%, so the rich wouldn’t pay more, relatively speaking. The very rich would pay a surtax in addition to the 4.75%
BigCatLover 07.29.09 at 5:37 pm
The only part I would have to think about is the first sentence that says it will cover everyone living in or visiting the country. May have to do it that way to make it cover everyone, but that will take a little getting used to.
admin 07.29.09 at 6:21 pm
BCL, me too. If a tourist from France trips climbing the stairs at the Statue of Liberty and breaks her arm, of COURSE I want her to be able to be treated at a good hospital at NYC. She can go home with a cast signed by the nice nurses and doctors and have a good story from her trip. Big deal.
If she finds out she has cancer while visiting her friends in San Francisco, I imagine she’d want to go HOME to be treated, back to France where the treatments are just as good, the outcomes are better, and the cost is FREE. Why would she want to use the health care system in a country far from home.
I dont think the problem of visitors (true tourists I’m talking about) would be economically significant.
The obvious problem is illegal immigrants. They shouldnt be covered. Legal, citizen-track immigrants should be.
This IS a problem, but hey, maybe having a serious debate and effort for true health care reform would force us to ALSO solve the illegal immigrant problem!

Support for President Barack Obama’s health-care effort declined over the past five weeks, particularly among those who already have insurance, as Congress struggled to finalize legislation and attention focused on the high price of the proposals, a new Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll finds.
In mid-June, the public was evenly divided when asked if they thought Mr. Obama’s health plan was a good or bad idea. In the new poll, conducted July 24-27, 42% called it a bad idea while 36% said it was a good idea. Among those with insurance, the portion calling the plan a bad idea rose to 47% from 37%.

Poll Shows Obama’s Clout on Health Care Is Eroding
By ADAM NAGOURNEY and MEGAN THEE-BRENAN
President Obama’s ability to shape the debate on health care appears to be eroding as opponents aggressively portray the effort as a government-takeover that could limit Americans’ ability to chose their doctor and course of treatment, according to the latest New York Times/CBS News poll.
Americans are concerned that overhauling the health care system would reduce the quality of their care, increase their out-of-pocket health costs and tax bills and limit their options in choosing doctors, treatment and tests, the poll found. The percentage who describe health care costs as a serious threat to the American economy — a central argument being made by Mr. Obama — has dropped over the past month.

Here’s a link to part of the update re HR3200 at FoxNews online:
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/07/29/blue-dog-democrats-announce-deal-health-care-reform/
Excerpts:
“…With the announcement, the committee is set to meet Thursday for a mark-up of the bill, in which lawmakers finalize legislation.
Ross said the deal includes an assurance that House leaders won’t bring the package to the floor until September, even if the bill passes out of committee this week.
The band of conservative Democrats who signed on to the deal are Ross, Rep. Baron Hill of Indiana, Rep. Zack Space of Ohio and Rep. Bart Gordon of Tennessee. The Blue Dog Democrats on the committee who did not sign on are Rep. Charlie Melancon of Louisiana, Rep. Jim Matheson of Utah and Rep. John Barrow of Georgia.
Melancon said the compromise still doesn’t go far enough for him in cutting the cost of the package.
The 52-member Blue Dog Coalition in the House said in a written statement that the entire group has not yet taken a position on the compromise measure.
But Rep. Walt Minnick of Idaho, part of the Democratic coalition, said the deal would not win widespread support.
“The majority of the Blue Dogs don’t think this is the best bill we can get. We want to keep talking to our constituents,” he said.
The deal didn’t seem to appease Republicans either.
Republican Rep. Mike Pence of Indiana told FOX News the fact that a public option remains in the bill means government will end up vastly expanding its role in health care…”

LATEST EMAIL FROM OBAMA
Something unusual
scarlett –
You’ve probably seen the headlines: Opponents of change are doing everything they can to delay health insurance reform. As a Republican strategy memo concluded, “If we slow this sausage-making process down, we can defeat it.”
They’re betting that as time goes by, our energy will flag, our movement will weaken, and they’ll ultimately be able to block any change.
But they just don’t get it — thanks to the regular Americans who are reaching out in neighborhoods nationwide, our movement is expanding every day. In fact, over the weekend, we surpassed our big goal of 1 million people taking action for health insurance reform. And with your help, we’ll keep growing and prove that our opponents’ strategy of “delay, delay, delay” simply won’t work.
So I want to ask you for something unusual: Can you chip in $1 each day until we pass real health insurance reform? A huge response will show the insurance companies and their allies in Congress that their delay tactics will only make our movement stronger.
Here’s how it works: We’ll bill your credit card for 30 days’ worth of donations now and once a month until the President signs real health insurance reform into law.
The cost of inaction on health insurance reform is astounding. Every day, 14,000 more Americans lose their coverage. Premiums continue to rise at three times the rate of wages. And each day, more small businesses are forced to choose between covering their employees and keeping their doors open.
But that doesn’t stop our opponents from trying to bog down the process with legislative tricks. And at the same time, they’re attacking the President for “moving too fast,” even though Washington has been talking about the need for comprehensive health insurance reform since the days of Harry Truman!
What they don’t realize is that outside of Washington, our campaign keeps growing. We’ve reached our “million” milestone, but the stories behind that number are even more impressive: grassroots press conferences with small-business owners in Missouri, more than 1,200 people at an organizing meeting in Minnesota, huge events outside local Senate offices in Florida, and so much more.
That’s why our dollar-a-day campaign is so important: If the few senators and representatives who are opposing reform understand that dragging their heels makes us stronger every day — and that the grassroots pressure on them will increase — they’ll be far less willing to keep slowing down the process.
Can you help? Please donate $1 per day until we pass real health insurance reform:

Meanwhile, the US does not have enough vaccine for the swine flu to go around, and not only that they will not have it in time for the children before school starts. And they want to control the health care for all?
It already is starting seniors will be the last to get the vaccine.
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,535340,00.html
If there is ample vaccine, vaccinations also would be recommended for all non-elderly adults, the panel also voted. And if there’s still plenty of vaccine, the swine flu shots and spray doses should be offered to people 65 and older. Fewer illnesses have been reported in the elderly, who appear to have higher levels of immunity to the virus, health experts say.

Military planning for possible H1N1 outbreak
WASHINGTON (CNN) — The U.S. military wants to establish regional teams of military personnel to assist civilian authorities in the event of a significant outbreak of the H1N1 virus this fall, according to Defense Department officials.
The proposal is awaiting final approval from Defense Secretary Robert Gates.
The officials would not be identified because the proposal from U.S. Northern Command’s Gen. Victor Renuart has not been approved by the secretary.
The plan calls for military task forces to work in conjunction with the Federal Emergency Management Agency. There is no final decision on how the military effort would be manned, but one source said it would likely include personnel from all branches of the military.
It has yet to be determined how many troops would be needed and whether they would come from the active duty or the National Guard and Reserve forces.
As a first step, Gates is being asked to sign a so-called “execution order” that would authorize the military to begin to conduct the detailed planning to execute the proposed plan.

School: No shortage of volunteers for swine flu vaccine trials
(CNN) — Days after the U.S. government announced upcoming trials for an H1N1 flu vaccine, Saint Louis University has been inundated with phone calls and e-mails from people volunteering for the study.
The university’s Center for Vaccine Development has received more than 500 responses from potential volunteers since Wednesday, when the National Institutes of Health (NIH) announced human trials for a swine flu vaccine would begin in early August.
Thousands of Americans are currently being recruited for swine flu vaccine testing at several research centers across the country, including Saint Louis University’s Center for Vaccine Development.
“The federal government comes to us when they need a quick response to test the safety and efficacy of vaccines,” Solomon said.

AniEm #78, did you see that the Boston lawyer representing Lucia Whalen is named Murphy?? Just a coincidence, but
she said, “halen’s attorney, Wendy Murphy, said her client was the only one involved in the disorderly conduct dust-up who kept her cool – from the cop to the professor and even President Obama.
“The one person who should get an award is being ignored,” said Murphy. “There has been zero attention paid to that and I think it’s strange.”
Murphy said the three men linked to this national race debate all overreacted and acted “badly,” yet the only woman involved is left out of any cocktail hour at the White House.
“Maybe it’s a guy thing,” Murphy added, saying he client doesn’t like beer anyway.”

H1N1 Could Infect Up To 2B People Within Next Two Years, WHO Says
Monday, July 27, 2009
The WHO on Friday said the “H1N1 swine-flu virus could infect up to two billion people over the next two years – about one of every three people in the world,” VOA News reports. According to the news service, “A separate WHO report Friday said the virus has spread to almost every country in the world, killing about 800 people since it emerged in April” (7/25).
CDC Predicts Numbers Of U.S. Infections, Deaths Without Vaccine, Proper Control Measures
“Hundreds of thousands of Americans could die over the next two years if the vaccine and other control measures for the new H1N1 influenza are not effective, and, at the pandemic’s peak, as much as 40 percent of the workforce could be affected, according to new estimates” from the CDC based on a 1957 pandemic which claimed the lives of 70,000, the Los Angeles Times reports. The estimates are “admittedly a worst-case scenario that the federal agency says it doesn’t expect to occur,” the newspaper writes (Maugh, 7/25).

Baxter, Novartis, GSK “swine flu” vaccines will not be part of official clinical trials in the US – only two vaccines without adjuvants from CSL and Sanofi Pasteur will be tested by vaccine watchdog
Moreover, the NIAID clinical trials are of two vaccines that will not have the dangerous adjuvant ingredient planned for the vast majority of “swine flu” vaccines, fuelling concerns the US government is deliberately, systematically and wilfully manipulating the clinical trials and the resulting data to give a false picture of the safety of the H1N1 vaccines and hide the risks from the population.
The following clinical trials will be conducted according to NIAID:
University of Maryland School of Medicine VTEU (Dr. Karen Kotloff, principal investigator) will lead the two trials testing the sanofi pasteur vaccine in healthy adults, elderly, and children.
University of Iowa VTEU (Dr. Pat Winokur, principal investigator) will lead the trials testing the CSL vaccine in healthy adult and elderly volunteers.
Saint Louis University VTEU (Dr. Sharon Frey, principal investigator) will lead the two trials testing the H1N1 vaccines given at the same time as or sequentially with the seasonal flu vaccine in healthy adult and elderly volunteers and in children.

antifish 07.29.09 at 9:07 pm
Here’s my conspiracy theory and I’m sticking to it…
H1N1 is a method of control over the world populace that is being exploited as we watch. Right now, it’s use is in an experimental stage and the ability to contain it is being evaluated along with its effectiveness in alarming populations into submission to government intrusion.
In the near future, it will be used wherever it is needed to achieve geopolitical aims. It will be spread intentionally and used as an excuse to exert military control over the populace.
I know this sounds absurd, but if one follows the progression of the “Swine Flu Epidemic” and all it’s subtle machinations, I believe this outcome is quite plausible.

Interesting article re the failure of the public option healthcare reform program in Tennessee called TennCare. What’s really interesting is that TennCare was overseen by the same woman BO appointed as his healthcare reform ‘czar’ — Nancy-Ann Min DeParle. No wonder HR3200 is such a mess!
http://www.cnsnews.com/PUBLIC/Content/Article.aspx?rsrcid=51238
Excerpts: … “TennCare was an initiative of Democratic Gov. Ned McWherter. It began in January 1994 by expanding Medicaid coverage to the uninsured and uninsurable and had an enrollment cap of 1.7 million. McWherter’s commissioner of human services was Nancy-Ann Min DeParle.
President Obama this year appointed DeParle as director of the White House Office of Health Reform, or health czar. Private firms such as Blue Cross/Blue Shield of Tennessee were contracted to administer the program. (See TennCare Timeline)
The following year, three new departments were created or designated to administer the TennCare program: the TennCare Bureau, the TennCare Division and the Comptroller of the Treasury…”

WORCESTER, Mass. (AP) — Police in central Massachusetts say a baby girl who was cut from her mother’s womb has been found alive and two people have been arrested in the woman’s killing.
Police said Wednesday the girl appears to be in fair health at a New Hampshire hospital.
Thirty-five-year-old Julie Corey and an unidentified man have been arrested in New Hampshire after friends said they were suspicious of Corey’s claims she had given birth. Corey has been charged as a fugitive from justice

Ariz. Lawmakers Consider Selling Capitol Buildings
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Filed at 11:36 p.m. ET
PHOENIX (AP) — Desperate for cash, Arizona state lawmakers are considering selling the House and Senate buildings, then leasing them back over several years before assuming ownership again.
Dozens of other state buildings may also be sold off and leased back as the state grapples with a huge budget deficit.
Other ”candidate properties” range from state prisons and the mental hospital to run-of-the-mill state office buildings and Kartchner Caverns State Park, the crown jewel of the state parks system.

Holy Smokes! I remember Reverend Ike from when I was in NY.
Frederick J. Eikerenkoetter II
LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Rev. Frederick J. Eikerenkoetter II, who preached the gospel of material prosperity to millions nationwide as Reverend Ike, has died. He was 74.
Bishop E. Bernard Jordan, a minister and family spokesman, told The New York Times that Eikerenkoetter died Tuesday in Los Angeles. Jordan says Reverend Ike suffered a stroke in 2007 and never fully recovered.
At his United Church Science of Living Institute, housed in a former movie theater in New York’s Washington Heights neighborhood, Reverend Ike preached the power of what he called ”positive self-image psychology” to his 5,000 parishioners.

Women Deployed to India’s Wall of Death
By Robert Mackey
Last Saturday, after 36 weeks of training, 178 women became the first female members of India’s Border Security Force. According to a report in The Deccan Herald, after two more weeks of “specialised tips on advanced combat,” the women will be deployed to help guard the country’s borders. Last week, The Indian Express reported that the female officers will be used primarily to frisk women who cross India’s borders with Pakistan and Bangladesh, but it noted that they will also take part in night patrols.

NYC Man Gets 25 Years for Whipping, Burning Lover
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Filed at 11:48 p.m. ET
NEW YORK (AP) — A New York City man convicted of whipping and burning his girlfriend because he thought she was having an affair has been sentenced to 25 years in prison.
Prosecutors say Jason Page held his girlfriend captive in their apartment for more than two weeks while repeatedly lashing her with an extension cord and burning her with a cigarette lighter. They say he duct-taped her hands to a crib and threw water on her.
The 35-year-old Page was convicted last month of kidnapping and assault.
At trial, he told jurors he never punched the woman, only slapped her. He also claimed the real culprit was a ”mystery man” who did the whipping.
The girlfriend testified she loved Page and couldn’t leave him even after he held her captive. She escaped after he fell asleep

Here’s my conspiracy theory and I’m sticking to it…
H1N1 is a method of control over the world populace that is being exploited as we watch. Right now, it’s use is in an experimental stage and the ability to contain it is being evaluated along with its effectiveness in alarming populations into submission to government intrusion.
In the near future, it will be used wherever it is needed to achieve geopolitical aims. It will be spread intentionally and used as an excuse to exert military control over the populace.
I know this sounds absurd, but if one follows the progression of the “Swine Flu Epidemic” and all it’s subtle machinations, I believe this outcome is quite plausible.

Sounds like an episode of the Twilight Zone until I think of your experience in the military, then it scares the bajesus out of me.

Thanks Murphy for another great post! I would also like to thank all of the Pumas for posting the articles, links and opinions on health care. I am terrified that if this bill passes…my husband and others like him will be denied their cancer treatments. He is over 70 yrs. old so I guess they will just refer him to an “End of Life” counselor.
This is a Freakin nightmare!!!!!!!!………I want to wake up!!!
Anyway, thanks again for all you do…..I don’t know what I would do without pumapac……..Pumas are my lifeline. xoxo
sorry for the long post …..but I found this online today and I thought of our wonderful Puma Casper Cat…who always manages to make me smile.

NikkisMom, High Five on your letter. You hit the points that need to be made to puncture this balloon. Health Care/Insurance is nothing but a way to take tax money from tax payers, then charge us all over again for the use of our money, by several different avenues.
Obama is so out of line that he should be embarrassed, but the fact that he is not makes me very certain, that he is mad and dangerous. How else do you go out and deceive people every single day, talking them out of their money, benefits, rights, and freedom? If he cared, it would show.
What he does care about also shows. Heaven dropped down the case of ObamaGates. Cannot wait to see how many more points he drops in the polls when Obama and Gates try to “have a teachable moment” with the police guy who was doing his job.

Walpin, the former inspector general at the Corporation for National and Community Service, was fired by the White House due to complaints about his work and allegedly erratic personal behavior from the U.S. attorney based in Sacramento.”

Conyers to Introduce Constitutional Amendment Making Health Care a ‘Right’
Wednesday, July 29, 2009
(CNSNews.com) – During his speech at a recent National Press Club luncheon, House Judiciary Chairman John Conyers (D-Mich.) said he is introducing a constitutional amendment that would establish health care as “a right” for all Americans.
“We need a real serious bill and, by the way, the fundamental question, ‘Is health care a constitutional right?’” he said. “I mean, do you have a right to health care in the American system of government or not?”

Lots of media interest in why Hillary has kept 8 people on her staff, turned her debt into the black and hasn’t said, “Hell NO! I will never run for President again!”
Must be making Obama and the Repubs really nervous, Hillary is doing her job, working hard, playing good buddie to all and her army is still waiting and building up steam…and the pretender has only been in office for 6 months……….
Obots are trying to cram Baracko under the bus, he is kicking and screaming. Is he becoming a lame dumb-ass duck already? If this health care bill doesn’t fly, he is cooked.

Are the participants going to get together for a photo op/ press conference after the summit? Our news media has failed us. I cannot believe that people that view themselves as journalists can continue to ply this shit to the American people and that the American people continue to eat it up.

Speaking of DADT
Dear Barbara,
The military’s “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy is an unjust, outdated, and harmful rule that violates the civil rights of some of our bravest, most heroic men and women.
That’s why I have been working, along with my colleagues in the Senate and so many of you, to overturn this wasteful and destructive policy.
Today, I have great news: Senator Carl Levin, Chairman of the Armed Services Committee, has agreed to hold the first Senate hearings on repealing DADT this Fall.
We have to prepare for these hearings, so I’m launching a nationwide call to action. My goal is to get thousands of people to stand with me and show that this country is ready to repeal DADT.
I want to show my colleagues that America is ready to do the right thing.
Numerous military leaders are already telling us that this policy should be reversed. Having lost over 13,000 of our best and brightest to this policy, including over 800 in “mission critical” areas such as 10% of our Arabic and Farsi speakers, and wasting nearly $200 million in training and recruitment costs, the time for change is now.
We must all join together now and speak up on behalf of the brave men and women who only want to serve their country.
The announcement of hearings this fall is great news and a critical milestone on the road to repeal. But our work is not yet done.
I need your support right away, but moreover, I need you to share our call to action with your friends and colleagues who want to repeal DADT, too. Earning the broadest support possible is the only way to convey the message this Fall that the American people want to undo this harmful policy.
Click here to help end “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.” I want to show my colleagues that America is ready to do the right thing.
Thank you so much for your continued support. Together, I am sure that we can make America stronger and bring equality to our Armed Services.
Sincerely,
Kirsten Gillibrand

Yup, I had the same problem with obots for the past year. They put their fingers in their ears and just sing, “La la la la la la….” back into their dream world.

Obamas rent Republican’s $20 million house on Martha’s Vineyard
Barack Obama and his family will spend their August holiday on a $20 million (£12.5 million), 28-acre farm, complete with an apple orchard, private beach and even a basketball court to satisfy the president’s sporting needs.
According to local reports, similar rental properties on the exclusive Martha’s Vineyard island cost between $35,000 (£21,875) and $50,000 ($31,250) a week.
Contracts for the Blue Heron Farm show three leases for Mr Obama, the Secret Service and White House staff, with the president expected to cover his family’s bill. Consisting of four buildings, the complex in Chilmark, a quieter part of the island, should have room for all.
The property is owned by William Van Devender, a Mississippi timber merchant who is a major donor to the Republican Party.
The White House had earlier confirmed that the president had settled on the Massachusetts island for his first holiday in office, but had attempted to keep the precise location secret.

Set back for Baracko……..again:
President Barack Obama said Wednesday there will be no vote on his proposed reforms of the US healthcare system before autumn, a setback that is costing him more political capital with each passing day.
“This bill, even in the best-case scenario, will not be signed — we won’t even vote on it probably until the end of September or the middle of October,” he said in a session here to muster public support for the reforms.
He is in deep doo doo…………hope his polls are at -20 by then.

PROVIDENCE — State tax officials have put more than 1,200 businesses across the state on notice this week that they are out of business unless they pay their overdue sales taxes immediately.
For most, that action came in the form of a personal visit from the state Division of Taxation, ordering business owners to lock their doors at once.

Poll of Polls: President’s approval ratings slip
Posted: 02:51 PM ET
From CNN Deputy Political Director Paul Steinhauser
A CNN Poll of Polls out Thursday indicates that 54 percent of Americans approve of President Obama.
A CNN Poll of Polls out Thursday indicates that 54 percent of Americans approve of President Obama.
WASHINGTON (CNN) — It’s late July, a time for hot and humid weather in the nation’s capital. But when it comes to President Barack Obama’s approval rating, an average of the most recent national surveys indicates a cooling trend.
According to a new CNN Poll of Polls, 54 percent of Americans approve of how Obama is handling his duties in the White House. That’s down 7 points from late June, when the president’s approval rating stood at 61 percent. The latest approval rating is the lowest for Obama in his young presidency. The CNN Poll of Polls, compiled and released Thursday, is an average of seven national surveys conducted over the past nine days.
It appears a drop in Obama’s numbers on health care and the economy, the two issues that have dominated his domestic agenda since he took office in January, are contributing to the deterioration of his overall approval rating.
A CNN Poll of Polls of the five surveys that specifically asked about how Obama’s handing the economy indicates that 48 percent approve and 45 percent disapprove.

I work with MEDICAL personnel in all statures, if this
vaccine is not safe, or recommended, I
will be the FIRST one to tell you.
Yes, do they pay people to do the testing—absolutely!!
Most doctors and NURSES, are totally trustworthy,
they will not administer anything, they believe that will
harm you–but remember this—EVERYONE is different.
What may affect one, may not many others—the field testing
is necessary—they may CHANGE the vaccine, by the time
we administer it—-but only with Certainty

Just read it in Canadan paper, googleing it now..it seems this is already done or was to be completed by this month??
Big brother has us all now painted by GPS?? Sounds crazy but proving true.

It is the media’s fault…now maybe the media will start to turn on these people and we can get some really HONEST reporting in this Country.

Fox is reporting that the summit is moving to the Rose Garden because others want in on the meeting. Can’t confirm this report, but I wanted to share the latest update. (Sorry, if I don’t stop, Mama will slap me)

Slappings do not begin until after 6pm. But rest at ease, my bedtime is 8pm, so then everyone knows that I have left the scene of the crime.
Malaflustering will commence at 6pm. Ask Murphy and Dances if you are unfamiliar with the term. Spelling changes at will.

I will have to get one of my cousins to give me the correct Gaelic spelling. My father always said “you will be malaflustered for that.”
Mala as in bad
Fluster as in beating

The picnic summit with POTUS,Robo COP and the Nutty Professor is moving to the Rose Garden?
What a lovely idea.
No jokes about I never promised you a rose garden. We are here to learn some valuable lessons.
Like You put your foot in your mouth by calling someones actions STUPID without knowing the facts.
It costs you 4 points in approval ratings and 2 beers
But you do get a lot of prime time air time.
