They make the news again...

I love this way of thinking:

"It's the first time the Pizza Hut has been robbed in nearly two years."

"I hope they do something or catch them so it puts a stop to it." ]]> North Carolina Discussion and Firearm News 340mopar http://www.usacarry.com/forums/north-carolina-discussion-firearm-news/10093-pizza-hut.html http://www.usacarry.com/forums/north-carolina-discussion-firearm-news/10065-gun-owners-win-opening-battle-obamacare.html Sat, 24 Oct 2009 21:56:42 GMT Grass Roots North Carolina, P.O.

GRNC Update 10-24-09:
Gun Owners Win the Opening Battle on ObamaCare!

Friday, October 23, 2009

Congratulations!

You have stymied the shady tactics used by Barack Obama, Harry Reid, and Nancy Pelosi to try to pass the ObamaCare bill and -- in the opening salvo of the battle -- you blew them out of the water.

Gun Owners won a huge vote Wednesday in the Senate.

As you remember, the ObamaCare bill would dump your gun-related health data into a federal database. It would also put your (government mandated) insurance at risk if you keep a loaded gun for self-defense.

But there was a problem: The anti-gun health bills cost too much, and Obama had promised to pass a bill which would not raise the deficit by "one penny."

So what Obama, Reid, and Pelosi did was to try to pass a separate bill (S. 1776) which would fund the anti-gun ObamaCare bill by raising the deficit another $247 billion dollars.

But, they would argue, because S. 1776 was a "separate bill," the ObamaCare bill itself would not raise the deficit.

In a Senate not known for morality, this rose to a level of sleaze and corruption that embarrassed many Democrats, in addition to all Republicans.

With gun owners responding vigorously to our alerts on this issue, the motion to invoke "cloture" (or shut off debate) on the bill failed by a 47-53 vote -- 13 votes short of the 60 votes the anti-gun socialists needed.

The victory on S. 1776 means that it will be much harder for Obama, Reid and Pelosi to pick up the somewhat fiscally-minded Blue Dog Democrats they so desperately need to get their anti-gun ObamaCare legislation passed.

So congratulations! It is true that this is only the first battle... but, if we continue battering Congress as we have, it will be the first of many victories.

To see the official listing of how each Senator voted, you can go to U.S. Senate: Legislation & Records Home > Votes > Roll Call Vote

But in the meantime, pat yourself on the back for a job well done... and have a great weekend!
