From a Vt House Member: “we are voting out a health care bill on Wednesday 4/14/10. It is primarily a proposal for a plan for single-payer health plan and two other plans to be designed by a consultant before next year's legislature starts. It identifies single-payer and who knows what the other two plans would look like or what they would consist of. This is the work of the Healthcare Is A Human Right Group, so they can push their agenda through the back door. It passed the senate last week, 28 in favor to 2 against. I feel like we are in a tidal wave, going down for the third count. Anything you can do to get people to write or call will be most appreciated. To date I have received over two hundred e-mails to support S. 88 as passed from the senate. I will note that most of the e-mails were the same script and signed from citizens all over the state. I find that personal notes are usually better received. Thanks for listening and for any help!”

Are you going to complain if the Bill goes through, or are you going to make a stand to Stop it?

"...[He] begin[s] with his prime truth that all evils are
caused by the exploitation of the proletariat by the capitalists.
From this he logically proceeds to the revolution to end capitalism,
then into the third stage of reorganization into a new social order or
the dictatorship of the proletariat and finally the last stage—the political paradise of communism."

When History Exists....Depostism Enters!
Support Your Vermont Historical Sites.
Montpelier wants to close Vermont's Historical Sites, as a way to reduce the size of government. This is rediculous. The Legislature is being irresponsible, and attempting to give the impression that they are actually working on shrinking the size of government. There are 22 state employees per 1000 people in Vermont, as others states average 14State employees per 1000 people.
Does, the Legislature really expect us to believe that they are making the hard decisions in cutting costs? And, what about all the money that tourists spend in the surrounding areas' businesses when they visit these historic sites?
Why is Montpelier trying to take away our history? What are they afraid of?
Tell your State Rep, Senator, Governor, Lt. Gov. No to closing Historic Sites.
Visit our Historic Sites and tell them that you support them & want them to stay open.
*****************************************************************************

Information on Vermont Single Payer, Government Health Care Bill H100 (House) & S88 (Senate) will be coming post 9/12.
This is a new Bill already introduced in both houses, to push the Health Care Bill Agenda. If they cannot force a top down bill from Washington, they will then force a bottom up scenario
from the state(s) level.
Catamount health Care is miserably failing, and these two bills will be even worse.
Be pre-pared for the fight!
If you have a chance to view, H100/S88, you will notice tha there is no mention of how this will be funded?!
1 Word, 5 letters
TAXES
They just don't get it.
When You talk to your Legislator about these bills or any bills/policies, keep a record of the excuses/deflection/misdirections he/she makes.
There justifications for supporting this black hole of a bill will be almost comical, if it wasn't so insanely tragic, that they are ignoring your voices, while victimizing the hard working men & women of this state.
