RED ALERT: GOP Members Wavering on Supplemental


image

Sources are telling me that Rahm Emanuel, having failed to secure enough Democrats to vote for H.R. 2346, the 2009 Supplemental Appropriations Act, is trying to pick off Republicans.

Here is the list I’ve gotten as potential Rahm pick ups. The left is already going after Thad McCotter. I’m told McCotter is probably a no vote, but let’s leave no stone unturned on this.

Call 202-224-3121 ASAP, get to these members, tell them to vote no on H.R. 2346.

  • Thaddeus McCotter (MI) Thad is secure and has a blog post against the legislation to prove it.
  • Fred Upton (MI)
  • Illeana Ros-Lehtinen (FL)
  • Bill Young (FL)
  • Vern Buchanan (FL)
  • Chris Smith (NJ)
  • Leonard Lance (NJ)
  • Frank LoBiondo (NJ)
  • Judy Biggert (IL)
  • Tim Johnson (IL)
  • Aaron Schock (IL) Congressman Schock’s office says he will vote no.
  • Charlie Dent (PA)

What does the Supplememntal Appropriations Act contain?

And what will be the consequences of it passing? By the way, it’s nice to see that Utah is not anywhere on that list.

Supplemental Appropriations means we need to spend more-nt

DONTREADONME (Diary) Monday, June 15th at 4:57PM EST (link)

Would this cover spending on Iraq and Afghanistan?

Also, if this fails, will it affect the salaries/employment of state workers (ie. police, firefighters, teachers, etc.)?

I do not think the Defense Spending is the problem...

it is the other garbage about Club Gitmo vacationers.

 

I am actually in the process of reading H.R. 2346...

DONTREADONME (Diary) Monday, June 15th at 5:13PM EST (link)

I do not know where this thing came from since our wonderful MSM has failed to discuss this in the headlines. So here I am now looking through this thing looker for the objectionable paperclipped garbage that is slipped into this.

 

Wow, we are selling 12,965,649 oz. of gold, sell your gold before this is dumped-nt

DONTREADONME (Diary) Monday, June 15th at 5:15PM EST (link)

interesting. Selling the Gold directly to China?

JLenardDetroit (Diary) Monday, June 15th at 5:32PM EST (link)

as I had heard that China, as a backstop to US debt, was going to load up on some…. Doubtful the 2 thoughts/processes are coincidental/accidental?!?! And here we thought Bill Clinton was fast-tracking us out to China (his, of course, was for all that inderict kick-backs to campaign, library, hillary, etc funds) Obama just wants to Bankrupt us.

I am sure this has nothing to do w/ bonds or China buying gold...

Beck said China's actively buying

molybdanthan (Diary) Monday, June 15th at 5:37PM EST (link)

Not the singer. Glenn said the PRC is trying to do something like triple its gold reserves for the future. And the US gov’s selling?

So to Congress, maybe now’s not the best time to try currency speculation.

And wouldn’t it be better to wait until after they inflate the price, or is it about to head south? I honestly don’t quite get it.

And isn’t this just so the FED can raise capital to loan to foreign banks? Again, to Congress maybe now’s not the best time to try currency speculation.

they won't even have to move it...

JLenardDetroit (Diary) Monday, June 15th at 5:46PM EST (link)

They will just keep it at Fort Knox and change the label in front of the storage slot to “CHINA.” They can just collect it personally when they take over all of our Government buildings during the Bankruptcy.

wouldn't it be nice if we could buy instead of sell

molybdanthan (Diary) Monday, June 15th at 5:50PM EST (link)

Not the Government. I mean us. If they’re selling, what is it 444 and a half tons of gold (right?) then the US citizen should get first dibs. Call it a good faith gesture from the bailed-out to the baler.

Maybe that’s why the radio hosts do all those commercials. But, again, I don’t know much on this subject.

 

maybe if "the Singer" did a song about it....

JLenardDetroit (Diary) Monday, June 15th at 5:55PM EST (link)

someone might pay attention… What ever happened to all those Government Protest Singers anyway?!?!?

Those loons are only anti-Government when it is their Comrades in charge.

Is this the one Lieberman and Graham vowed to filibuster if...

bk (Diary) Monday, June 15th at 5:02PM EST (link)

it didn’t block release of detainee photos? Or it a completely different animal in the Senate?

As I recall, it started as around $83B. The House or Senate dropped a few things and added enough to send it up closer to $100B. These are the types of supplementals Obama promised to end, right?

 

Every American should be forced to read these acts...

DONTREADONME (Diary) Monday, June 15th at 5:24PM EST (link)

to find out what the heck our Government is spending our money and our futures money on. I can not help but feel ill when I read the billions of dollars to things that are ridiculous like Greenhouse Gas Accounting.

HR 2346 should have been broken apart into two acts...

DONTREADONME (Diary) Monday, June 15th at 5:26PM EST (link)

at least. One of the bills that could have been seperated is the Defense Supplemental Appropriation and the other everything else that is wasteful spending. I am done.

 
 

I have contacted Thad's office...

JLenardDetroit (Diary) Monday, June 15th at 6:04PM EST (link)

and asked that he come online and give us an update. We’ll see, as I didn’t get any chance to speak with him directly.
