Minutes ago, the House passed the so-called stimulus bill in the face of bipartisan opposition and without a single Republican vote–again.
The only thing that now stands between the American people and the passage of this monstrous bill is a vote in the Senate that is tentatively scheduled for 7:00 or 8:00 p.m. tonight.
Now is the crucial time to make your voices heard to the three Republican Senators who support this package and who have the power to stop it:
Sen. Arlen Specter [PA]: 202-224-4254
Sen. Olympia Snowe [ME]: 202-224-5344
Sen. Susan Collins [ME]: 202-224-2523

House Vote today had 7 Democrats (1 NV and 1 Present) join with ALL Republcans against the Stimulus Bill – not sure if it is some of the same 11 [Democrats] from [the first House vote] before

House Republicans need to lobby the 3 Stooges via a Press Conference...
JLenardDetroit (Diary) Friday, February 13th at 3:15PM EST (link)We obviously want to have the House Republicans get on any/every channel possible via a Press Conference to explain their opposition and remind the 3 stooges that Democrats have joined us to vote against and that is where “real cooperation” is…. that message must be snuck out over the airwaves anyway and everywhere possible…. if this Bi-Partisanship DISEASE is going to continue to be the word of the decade than it needs to be correctly reported where it is actually occurring and that is in the House.

Specter sold out for $6.5 "billion"
Scope (Diary) Friday, February 13th at 4:03PM EST (link)which he earmarked for the NIH- National Institutes of Health, for medical research. I erroneously said this morning that it was $6 million. No- it’s “billion.” And funny that he would earmark money for medical research in light of the fact that the very bill he soldout for is one which backtracks on drug and medical research, and in fact sets everyone up for near future Socialized Healthcare. He sure has used the advances of medical research with his 2 bouts of cancer, brain tumor and heart surgery. Not to be unkind but, I wonder if they got “all” of the brain tumor when they removed it as this vote is not coming from one with alot of right brain thinking.

I hope this will serve as a lesson...
conservativemusician Friday, February 13th at 4:09PM EST (link)to those of you here that harbor hopes of turning so-called “blue dog” Dems over to our side. There’s a reason these weasles are Dems in the first place and they can NEVER be trusted to come through to do the right thing. At the end of the day, they value their careers and their prestige over the concerns of their constituents
Thank you, Congressman and the whole House GOP

To be a leader is to do the uncomfortable thing. Man up, Mr. President.
One of the reasons . . .
BlueStateSaint Friday, February 13th at 3:51PM EST (link)I heard that a big reason why Snowe, Specter, and Collins voted for the deal the first time was that there were enough Dems voting so that none of the three could be blamed for “casting the deciding vote.” Guess what? Teddy Kennedy is back in Florida, and he’s not coming back up. Now, all three of those would be deciding votes. They’ve seen the fury of their constituents on this. They know that 2010 is going to be tough for them if they vote for final passage of this. I’d be willing to wager the odds of them repeating their vote are 50-50 at best.
Actually BlueStateSaint, re: Kennedy
Brian Simpson (Diary) Friday, February 13th at 4:04PM EST (link)There are rumors/reports swirling around that Kennedy flew back to D.C. to help ensure the bill passes.

Specter has to know that...
TxCon (Diary) Friday, February 13th at 3:55PM EST (link)he is history if he votes for this.
Apparently, Specter doesn't really care what PA conservatives think...
conservativemusician Friday, February 13th at 4:32PM EST (link)because it seems that it is Dems that keep reelecting him. He still enjoys a high favorability rating with Dems in PA. Once the economy tanks and the stimulus doesn’t work, he may be in some trouble, but I’m not hopeful he’ll get booted out because this is the same state that keeps sending Murtha back year after year.
House GOP for the win!
