First off, here it is.
I know that it’s a over-complicated visual mess – but then, so is the health care rationing plan that it represents. Which is why the Democrats don’t want people to get too good a look at it:
Democrats are preventing Republican House Members from sending their constituents a mailing that is critical of the majority’s health care reform plan, blocking the mailing by alleging that it is inaccurate.
House Republicans are crying foul and claiming that the Democrats are using their majority to prevent GOP Members from communicating with their constituents.
The dispute centers on a chart created by Rep. Kevin Brady (R-Texas) and Republican staff of the Joint Economic Committee to illustrate the organization of the Democratic health care plan.
At first glance, Brady’s chart resembles a board game: a colorful collection of shapes and images with a web of lines connecting them.
But a closer look at the image reveals a complicated menagerie of government offices and programs that Republicans say will be created if the leading Democratic health care plan becomes law.
I understand that it must be annoying for the Democratic party to have to deal with the consequences of them creating a convoluted mess like this, but it’s not Rep. Brady‘s fault that the GOP was shut out of the process. It’s House leadership policy, remember (H/T: Hot Air)? So it’s just a little contemptible of them for them to try to hide their mistakes like this.
Besides, it’s not even going to work. The GOP is already rerouting around the areas that their opponents control and getting the information out anyway; only now with the additional message of The Democrats are scared of letting you know the truth attached…

muffin Thursday, July 23rd at 3:14PM EST (link)I remember a “leader” many years ago wanted to annihilate from the world the feeble minded and the infirm along with the other undesirables. Of course I can’t mention the name of that “leader” because then I would be a racist. But I’m sure if you all look in your history books, you’ll know. (wink)
Now this wonderful health care plan wants to euthanize the elderly so they can die with dignity. Personally, I want to go out kicking, screaming, and gasping for my last breath. Dignity my foot!

Just a small note…..since when do the Democrats show concern about inaccuracies. The Obama adminsitration and the Democratic Congress have been lying to the public for months now. Who will censor them???

I have a better idea to involve the IRS
popdaddy Thursday, July 23rd at 12:26PM EST (link)I find it most curious that for years we have been told it would be unlawful to use the IRS to identify illegal aliens for arrest and deportation. The same illegal’s who sneak into our country to take advantage of our CURRENT FREE HEALTHCARE system for those who cannot or will not pay.
Now the Socialist Democrats plan to use the IRS is to identify any US citizen who would choose to conserve his resources and not participate in Federal Government mandatory healthcare waste.
How can a party "block" a mailing?

They can actually prevent a rep from mailing his/her own constituents? That sounds bizarre to me.

yeah...
clement Thursday, July 23rd at 2:25PM EST (link)So what would the consequences be if they mailed it out anyways? If I was a rep, I would mail it, and if they tried to do anything I’d take them to court on 1st amendment violations.
Kudos to Rep. Brady
amigag Thursday, July 23rd at 2:14PM EST (link)I just sent him a personal Thank you fax. I have been very very busy, composing and faxing letters to the Democratic members & Bono of CA of the
Energy & Commerce Committee.
When I see or hear of someone that is deserving of a Thank you, I send them a fax expressing it.
Keep up the work Redstate, you are on a lot of the Patriots radar & your posts are making the rounds & we respond by calling & faxing.
