RESIZE: AAA

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)

    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.

    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?

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

  • DONTREADONME

    it is the other garbage about Club Gitmo vacationers.

    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.

    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.

  • DONTREADONME

    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.

    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.

    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.

  • DONTREADONME

    it is just a coincidence???? i hear black helicopters overhead. :/

    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.

  • molybdanthan

    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.

    wow, you are so behind the times ;-) lol

    Time to switch to the super secret VRWC site for furhter discussion. Shhhh!

    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.

    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.
