Cast Your Vote Against the Senate Health Care Bill

Last night, Democrats in the Senate led by Harry Reid rammed through the Senate Health care bill with a cloture vote.   The bill is now moving forward to the Senate floor for debate.

It's a $1 TRILLION+ spending bill the American people don't want to pay for and it's a bill that deserves far more thought from the "deliberative body" of our democracy.  Rushing to meet artificial deadlines isn't the smart approach to anything.   

Feel like fighting back? Cast your vote against the bill with a donation of $5 or more towards Huck PAC's efforts to defeat these Senate Democrats. We are 1461 contributions away from our end of November fundraising goal.  You may make your donation here.

To date, 1,539 donors have made a donation towards this goal and voted NO. Will you be the next conservative to step up to this challenge? I hope so. Huck PAC needs your help and I am counting on you as never before. Please VOTE NO by making a donation today.   

Fighting to preserve our nation,

    We don't need health care reform! Michelle Obama is on the right track. We need to change ours and our kids eating habits. Be ready to fight bitterly with the lobbyist of the meat and dairy industries. They are the ones who are pushing us to eat meat and dairy products in excess. This is very unhealthy. Read the China Study by Dr. Colin Campbell and get informed.

    I will be so happy when you are elected in 2012! In the meantime, please address and explain. In his meeting with Republicans I heard Obama say that he had included tort reform as well as across state lines insurance availability. Is this true? Why has it not been challenged if it is untrue?

    Again, best of luck in 2012. You have my vote.

    The Obama Administration wants to ram health care down our throats because they want to play God with our lives. What we need to do is vote out Senators that have been in their seats forever. We could start with Rockefeller.

    What say you?

    I think that if this health care package went through as is, Governor Sarah Palin's death panels would be in there. It would have to be. If you are going to insure 40 or so million people you need to eliminate some to make up the difference. It would be like a revolving door.

    Of course, the Governor wouldn't have to worry about anyone in her family being subject to the fate. She's too high profile. That would just happen to people that don't have alot of money and aren't well known.

    On Tuesday I felt as though I was watching a remake of the Boston Tea Party. For me, it was a sight to behold. It also boosted my morale which was really down since President George W. Bush.

    If I was a voter in Massachusetts on Tuesday, I would have voted for Scott Brown also. The super majority status, the bailouts, czars, and health care would have been my reasoning.

    I am an obstructionist when it comes to voting. Whichever party is counting on making decisions without the approval of anyone, can count me out. If any politician thinks that everyone who votes for them is a constituent, they really ought to think again. Some of us vote for them to keep the opposite partys power from going to their heads.

    The Republicans didn't learn anything from Tuesday teachable moment. Already they are marginalizing the democrats in any way they can. For anyone who has tuned into politics, they should really see that we are in for a rerun of when a party loses power and the other one gloats.

    I personally don't think anything will change under Republican rule. Sure, we may not get this health care bill, but we will still see them running to their offices to change laws as often as you do a diaper on a baby.

    Mike,
    I'm not sure why our Government seems to think we have worked to pay them. They work for us and should understand that.
    They are not voted in there for the rest of thier lives.
    Right now there are so many unemployed but they seem to think we need them to support us.
    They need to stop padding their pockets and get people jobs.
    My husband and I vote as Indepentants. Not for the Party.
    We need term limits, so the Lawyers can go back to work not live off the people who elected them.
    Mr. Obama promised so much but so far he has let those who elected him down and those who didn't elect him.
    Wake up DC.......We pay you not you pay us....
    Thanks Mike for this show and I love Kelly......He has a beautiful voice.....
    God Bless those in Haiti who are suffering so much now...And God Bless the United States.....We all need Gond in ours lives now...... Sharon Filipski in Indiana

    NO, NO, NO. WHAT ARE THEY THINKING?????

    Health Care and the Bank Tax. The Democrats are out of control. I really thought that we were a free country,
    My family arrived in Boston in 1634. We have fought in the Revolution, the Civil War, World War I, and World War II for our rights. How can this be?

    Regarding us being required to buy their product.

    It can get ugly as they say in todays news. Which is, if government can force us to buy health insurance, they can do the same with a car. Or perhaps make us buy a certain fruit because it's healthier for you.

    We can actually say that Senator Edward Moore Kennedy was for all this. I mean afer all, he did force Massachusettes to buy insurance or be fined.

    I long for the America where the citizenry had the right to make their own decisions.

  • Henderson, Samantha

    12/26/2009 03:39 PM

    I personally think this health care bill was passed for one reason and one reason only. Can you spell Ted Kennedy? I really came to believe it when I heard that the democrats called Virginia Kennedy and congratulated her.

    I used to think that before the Senator died or afterwards, he was going to expose the powers that be in such a way that wouldn't get him killed like his brothers. But, when he endorsed Barack Obama for President, I finally realized his not being murdered was more important to him than saving his country from becoming slaves to the state.

  • Dow, Helen

    12/23/2009 02:18 PM

    First off, I'd like to tell the Governor that he is probably the only Republican worth watching on television because he is thoughtful in his approach to his political views and actually lets the opposition speak.

    Unlike Bill O'Reilly who cuts you off at the microphone and considers opinions different from his as spin. Or Sean Hannity who is rude as all get out and praises Bush while looking at someone behind the scenes seeking approval.

    Now, for the health care bill. I don't appreciate being forced to buy a product. People do not have a right to health care but they do have a right to not have the prices gouged.

    I know what it's like to be forced to buy a product and give it away. I worked as a newspaper carrier and they gave us huge pay cuts, added third party papers for us to deliver and put a big 8 cents a paper delivery on our payroll so no one can't say we aren't being paid. Nice trick, eh?!

    I was watching The Little Choclatiers last night on TLC and they were making a flower garden out of chocolate for someones anniversary because the woman works in a florist and the husband couldn't just give her regular flowers. Towards the end of the show the husband went to a speaking engagement where he was talking about wanting health care reform because Dwarfism is a pre existing condition. That's all fine and dandy, but I wish these little people would read the bill before they tout it!

  • Walker, Anna

    12/21/2009 12:36 PM

    I don't have health care because I work for wages and actually can't even afford to live alone. But, I'll tell you right now, I don't want any parts of a health care plan that government won't use themselves. I heard the very rich will be able to buy their way out of the program and that the good doctors are going to be a cash only operation. With that in mind, I'd rather be given the death pill instead of a doctor that isn't any good.

    I feel that once this health care bill passes, jobs are going to be harder to come by because employers aren't going to want workers who eat fattening foods or smoke cigarettes or what have you. They will be more interested in your private life rather than whether you can actually do the job or not.

    By the way, the Governor was talking about us having a Merry Christmas on his show of December 19, 2009, but I have to tell you, I haven't had a Merry Christmas since Bush became President! Now that Obama is in that position, I feel that in this past year, he has shown us what a new world order will really mean.

    I'm tired of agreeing with the party that's out of power. Just once I would love to agree with the one that's in power. I have found though, that the party out of power is always right on about what the party in power is actually doing. I've got to tell you though, if Republicans get back into power nothing will change. We will get more of the same!

    I never can understand why the pro abortion advocates want abortion paid by the taxpayer.. Most young people I come in contact with want to have a baby as soon as possible to obtain food stamps, large tax returns, free baby sitting, housing and any other benefit they can receive. These benefits are great, if they feed underprivileged children but from what I see, these benefits only keep young people from reaching there full potential, keep them poor and stiffle potentials to expand. The rich stay rich and poor stay poor. These people do not want abortions. They learn the tricks of the trade early in there years and do not want to give up these benefits. For the very few that want abortions, this should be elective just as tummy tucks are. Does Congress really know how the American people are thinking? I work with these young people and they have no ambition only to get what they can for free and not to work too much or they will loose these benefits.

    Why is it illegal for businesses or persons to use monetary bribery for getting political or other support, but not for the Government. We would be put in prison for the following, obvious bribery tactic: "Officials said the federal government would pick up Nebraska's entire cost of a Medicaid expansion in the bill. Other states will have to begin picking up a portion of the added expanse beginning in 2017." The other states should be filing suit against this type of government action and behavior!!!

    After Obama, his group of Marxists and crooks, and leaders of Congress are removed; we should bring them into Federal court to answer for their crimes. The ignorant laws of the past decade need to be voided, stolen money retrieved, and the EPA shut down. Federal employee numbers and the budget need to be reduced by 25%.

  • Maguire, J

    12/11/2009 04:46 PM

    It is true that trying to push through a bill this quickly is risky and may be costly, but the need for a change in general is needed.
    It is also necessary for changes to be made within the medical industry itself.
    Dr. Eva Mor is quoted as saying, “The administration of the existing health delivery system is bloated with waste and unnecessary cost. If information was shared by all providers of health services and all insurers by using computerized systems to store all medical records, it would cut costs and reduce errors that would save and improve lives.
    What we need in a health system is uniformity in pricing for procedures and services and modalities of provision of testing and procedures for diagnosis and treatment. By providing coverage to the uninsured, which initially will cost the taxpayer, it eventually will save us hundreds of millions of dollars.”
    http://www.ourblook.com/component/option,com_sectionex/Itemid,200076/id,8/view,category/#catid107
    She couldn’t be more right. The medical industry needs to be as much a part of health care reform as the insurance companies.

    DEAR SENATOR LINCOLN

    (I faxed the following to Sen. Lincoln's D.C. and Little Rock offices this afternoon.)

    December 8, 2009


    The Honorable Blanche Lincoln
    United States Senate
    355 Dirksen Senate Building
    Washington, DC 20510-0404

    Dear Senator Lincoln:

    I am sorely disappointed to hear that you voted against the Nelson-Hatch Amendment today.

    Do you feel that the federal government should compel me to pay for other people’s abortions and thereby cause me to be complicit in the elective and intentional taking of innocent human life?

    My sincere conscience exclaims that the unborn are human persons protected by the Fifth Amendment, not to “…be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law.”

    A CNN poll in November found American adults are against “using public funds for abortions when the woman cannot afford it” by a 61-37 percent margin.

    By voting to “table” the Nelson-Hatch Amendment, you are helping to steamroll the consciences of an overwhelming majority of Americans. You are on the wrong side.

    I believe this occasion calls for a donation to Gilbert Baker’s campaign for U.S. Senate and to Huck PAC. I may not live in Arkansas currently, but my money speaks where I send it.

    Sincerely,

    Brian Snow

    Governor Huckabee;

    Fromm the start of obama's administration I have been writing every Senator,Every member of the Blue Dog Coalition, and many members of the House of Representatives, including n. pelosi, and h. reid, You, Hannity, Glenn Beck, put postings on Craigslist (even in Washington, D.C., and blogs on Twitter. These notification have been opposing big government, obama's abuse of powers, and violations of the Constitution, and not to support the Stimulus Bill, omnibus bill, Tarp,increased Spending and printing of money, Cap and Trade Bill, Card Check, Health-care reform (as Federal Government and Congress has no Constitutional authority to touch our Health-care System), and not to support the new attempt by Senator c. dodd to reform the Federal Regulatory System. I have asked the Congress to not permit any passage until we get government under control. However, as with each of you, I believe my and my fellow Americans words fall on deaf, non-listening or caring ears. I also believe that through indoctornation, lacking of knowing how to bring government accountable, Apathy, and Complacency is how America has come to this potential fall of our founding principals and great Republic. I have asked Congress to look at charging obama, his administration, and responsible members of Congress with abus of powers and violations of the Constitution, and as a result of such if charges of treason are not applicable than certianly institute impeachment proceedings. Congressional members have failed to keep their oaths of office. Failing to protect the Constitution of the United States, and failing to represent and protect the American people. These are grounds for recall or impeachment as stated in the U.S. Constitution.

    The American people need to unite and certainly in Nov. 02, 2010 take charge by voting out many of their representatives. I am watching each of their voting records, and I am posting the links for anyone interested in standing up for their Country, their Freedoms and Liberties to click on and watch how their representatives are voting in my postings and communications. I sign and include my e-mail address so those interested can contact me.
    Thank you for your time.

    Dear Senator,
    Stop Health Care Bill!

    Please have a look at my letter that I recently faxed to Senator Lincoln of Arkansas:
    http://snowbriand.wordpress.com/

    We need to be burning up the phone lines and fax machines of our Senators with such sentiments!

    Any day now, the health care reform (abomination) bill pending in the Senate may be detonated under the constitutional foundations of our republic.

    This is the battle at this hour! This is the ball we must not take our eyes off of!

    Centrist Democratic senators have just said:
    "Some of us have found it very puzzling as to how this became the centerpiece of the health care debate," Landrieu said. "So our hesitation whether it's Sen. Lieberman, Sen. Nelson, myself, Sen. Snowe -- you could go on and on -- there are 12 or more Democrats who've never understood the benefit of this debate being focused on a public option."
    http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1209/30196.html

    We need those centrist Democrats to side with the Republicans so that the bill is never allowed to come to a final vote and further ruin our country.

    Please find the senators you wish to contact at the link below, and please encourage them to be heroes by standing for Liberty no matter the pressure, no matter the cost.

    Hello Governor Huckabee,

    We are Latin Americans, US Citizens. We love your show. We think you are great, exactly what our country, our families need. I feel good when I watch your show.

    Thank you for fighting against this health care bill, your voice has a better chance of being heard than ours. Thank you for caring not to put our country in bankruptcy. I want to keep my freedom to make decisions of my health care, government should not interfere with my health care decisions.
    I would, however, like to see stronger rules imposed on insurance companies, lower the premiums and make it easier for us all to purchase health insurance plans. I am against abortion and having to pay for it for someone else especially when a doctor can perform the birth control method that blocks a woman from getting pregnant, (this is different from tying the tubes). I'll keep you in my prayers. We love you.

    Regarding the recent issue that you pardoned the killer of the policemen in Washington, Sandra Day Oconnor did the same thing in Phoenix before heading for the Supreme Court. The person she pardoned killed a very good friend of mine and it took 25yrs to bring him to justice. Maybe this item can help get the media off your back.

    Hi Mike,
    I think if America can have a world class millitary with 11 super aircraft
    carriers at a billion plus dollars each with 15000 troops on each and four missel cruisers to protect each one with a price of hundreds of millions dollars each then have an Army with thousands of MX1 tanks and state of the art missils at million a piece and also a space program of trillions of hidden dollars and the poor and the rich all contrbuting in tax dollars.
    I believe if we can pay for all that
    then we as Americans diserve to have
    a world class healthcare system second to none.When The government
    can't balance the budget they have failed us!We have a new airport in
    MO.that is years old and no planes have never landed there,thats wasteful spending.I personally looked into bidding government
    projects and for me to profit with all the red tape I would have to double or tripple my price to pay for my time with all the requred
    loop holes to jump through.I am
    a small businessman trying to make
    a go of things and its tough.
    I have many skills which help keep
    my family secure.I pray this all works out for the best.

    Just wanted to make a comment about your episode on music and the impact that it makes on Soldiers aired 20091129, I felt that this spoke to me. The song Voice of Truth from Casting Crowns was a song that I listened to every time I prepared to exit the base during my deployment to Fallujah Iraq. The song prepared me to face anything that was put before me. The line that talked about David facing the giant was the best line. I was at such a peace once I listened to this song that I could face anything. Thanks for talking about the Soldiers!!!God Bless!!

    The Congress and Senate already has a health care policy, why not extend that to everyone that wants to have health insurance. It will reduce the governments cost by adding more people on the policy and since the senate and congress like it so much why not just offer it to us! I've read what they receive.. it's not bad at all and if the congress and senate can afford it then they should offer it to us!

    They could negotiate a policy that will not eliminate for pre existing, they could remove the caps and they could use the system that is already in place!

    It's a Win-Win for the government and for us!

    Merry Christmas to all!

    this health care bill is way too expensive and it would require raising taxes which is the last thing we need. obama and other liberals want big goverment, the goverment to control our lives not just our health care this is just a step in there over all goal. They are socialist and they must be stopped before they destroy our nation. The health care bill must defeated and then we have cap and trade another big tax looking on the horizon, that must be stopped also. Also these godless socialist want to pass something called ENDA which would be attck on christians and our freedom of speech. they wamt to silence our christian and conservative voice. They will be defeated and we will take back our country in God i trust

    Richard, if you believe that the Republicans have offered no constructive alternatives, then I'm afraid you've been watching too much MSNBC or getting it straight from the President's mouth.

    Check it:
    http://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/52896

    There are basically three approachs to this problem:
    1. Do the right thing,
    2. Do the wrong thing,
    3. Do nothing.

    Since the Speaker of the House and the Senate Majority Leader control which legislation is allowed consideration, "the right thing" is not an option presently.

    Doing something is not always better than doing nothing because, in this case, unfortunately, doing something is doing the wrong thing.

    You should blame the Dem leadership for not letting alternatives see the light of day, and then lying to the country about the nature of the Republicans' efforts.

    We were at some friends house and saw your program with Chuck Woolery. At the time I had a question, Now has slipped my mind!But I have to say I agree with him 110%, and wish he was from MO and we could easly get Clair McCaskell out! He is right we NEED new people and term limits! What other job is there that you leave and get such a huge retirement? Like for the rest of your life! We have been without work and a decenet income since Feb. and to think we have 3 more years! I pray about this every night and yet I still worry! I wish you'd have Glenn Beck on, he wants America back too! You really need him on your team with some of his ideas, as he has studied these things out! I don't think he is running material, but Palin is! I'd love to see a ticket with you both on it! An honest question IF the healthcare bill passes, can it be corrected or do we have to live with all of the taxes and lack of Drs. etc? Cap and trade again more taxes! Do you think they will pass? We don't have any extra money to help the good people run out, that is fighting for us so what are we supposed to do? What are people like us supposed to do...REALLY? I got a e-mail and I think it is Charles Gibson ask if he (Pres O.) would do the health plan, he didn't answer, then what about Congress still no answer, so why should we HAVE to take it? My husband is in hearing and has his "HIS and BC-HIS", but still there isn't a job? The dow is up but we are getting poorer, this doesn't make since. WHY? We would give anything for a hand up NOT a hand out, where we could live without worry so much! I want and need answers! Like if I asked "do you know anyone in our town" like everyone else you'd say 'NO" See it's not what you know, but WHO! I feel I know you as I listen all the time, but like everyone I'd love to have a sit down with you, for reassurance!!! But I'm just a peon so all I can do is try and calm down and pray we are in Gods will. Keep getting the word out like Beck, O'Reilly and Hannity. I will be praying for you safe travels! Psalms 91!!

    Hi Governor Huckabee,

    I agree that the health care bill is unacceptable in its current form. But, so is a perpetual 15% annual increase in my health care premiums, which is what I and millions of other small business owners are facing if we do nothing. The staus quo is unnaceptable just as much as this bloated Democratic plan is.

    If health care reform fails now, things will stay the same for at least the next 10 or 15 years before anyone tries again to fix it. That's great for the fat cat insurance companies, but as a small business owner I cannot afford it. Doing nothing is as much a failure as anything else. So given this historic opportunity to fix this huge mess, Where have our Republican leaders been? Nowhere,that's where. No ideas, no inputs, just sitting there with their arms folded screaming out "No!" at the top of their lungs. Our Republican leadership had the opportunity to propose meaningful cost controls, for example, but instead they did nothing to implement these cost controls in the health care legislation. Leadership in our party was absolutely nowhere to be found. If the Democrats pass this monstrosity, we as Republicans have no one but ourselves to blame. We had the opportunity to provide useful, meaningful input and we failed to do so.

    Governor, that's why I am counting on you. You're a proven "rock star" governor, respected on both sides of the aisle for the ability to get stuff done. When you speak on matters of faith and good government, I'm with you one thousand percent. But there is an absence of conservative leadership in this country that has been on bold disply to anyone watching this health care debate. I am counting on you to fix this mess!

    Here's an excerpt from it:
    "She has taken tough votes to support the Democratic caucus, but none at such a vulnerable moment in her own election cycle. A recent poll by Zogby International shows Lincoln narrowly edging out a likely Republican opponent – until healthcare is added to the mix. When asked how they would respond if Lincoln voted with Democrats on healthcare, her two-point advantage shifted to a 14-point deficit."

    I urge Mike Huckabee to present a clear, strong case to the voters of Arkansas for them to demand Blance Lincoln votes the way her constituents want her to on this bill.

    I have no doubts that the cost of health care is a poignant and complex issue. But if any of my representatives vote for any sort of mandated health plan bill that does not plainly specify that all present and future members of Congress must FORGO their cushy health plans, then those representatives will FORGO my vote.

    The above link is to a USA Today poll, out today, showing the majority of the country is against the health care bill. Nationally, 42% are against it and 35% are for it. The rest have no opinion.

    You'd think that percentage would be a clue for the moderate democrats -- especially Blanche Lincoln in Arkansas (where likely a far higher percentage of the voters are against it than in hte nation as a whole) -- to vote against it, period.

    If the Democrats do push it through -- even a watered down version -- I expect they are signing on to a dramatic Republican comeback in the 2010 and 2012 elections.

    I would like to know how to change the PA Senators vote. Neither one of them are going to budge in their resolve in passing this health care bill. Spector has never represented my values in the 30 years I have lived in PA. He is all out for #1 but threatening to campaign against him in 2010 does absolutely nothing. I feel powerless.

    I voted "No" for my 3 youngest Grandaughters... They don't know how far in debt they have become, since obama took office..
    The main reason they are against obama is because they say he kills babies...
    They will be excited when I give them the receipt where they can have a voice .. And, can be used to stop the health care bill, that is going to take our country backwards...like the 16th century...

    Here's an interesting poll from back in August showing how the people of Arkansas view the Obama healthcare bill: 29% support it and 60% oppose it.

    Nationwide, the support for the bill has been falling since August, so I'd expect even fewer people in Arkansas support it now than did then.

    As a nurse I work mainly with Hospice patients. I see the need they have.I have some patients who have been placed on hospice and with continous care for a while they are able to function as normal as usual. If this healthcare passes I fear there are some who may not have the extra months or years that that extra care gives them. I would vote no ... Read Moreand I encourage all to vote the same.We do need healthcare reform but let's start by taking the waste from medicare and medicaid now. Unfortunately there are a lot of doctors and procedures not covered by medicare or medicaid that the general public are not aware of. This is the kind of reform we need. Not to mention early screening for cancer,diabetes,heart disease and alzhimers. Just think how good the gov't ran the H1N1 vaccines

    Money is tight but I want to support your efforts with a small monthly donation. It is time we put action behind our words to stop socialism from destroying our freedoms. Thank you for speaking out for us in the media.

    It's going to be interesting to see how Arkansas senator Blanche Lincoln votes on the final bill. She is up for reelection in 2010, and she's considered vulnerable (though Arkansas almost always elects democratic senators -- a holdover from when the democrats ruled the "solid South").

    In the past she's taken some moderately conservative positions that have gone against the grain of the majority of the democrats. She voted to ban partial birth abortion, though that's about the only pro-life position she's had. She voted to confirm Justice Roberts but she voted against Justice Alito. She also went with the most other democrats and voted against The Federal Marriage Amendment. (She's being challenged in the democratic primary by an openly gay person, so she's likely not going to change her position on that.)

    I'm hoping she votes for the healthcare amendment that will put in stricter wording on no funding for abortion. That will be a key test vote for her.

    She may be the key vote on health care, since she is up for reelection and is vulnerable. If she votes for healthcare she likely will not be reelected. Obama lost Arkansas by 20 points, and that's before his popularity started diving, so he's not going to be any help in her getting reelected.

    I'd like to see a strong pro-life, pro-family candidate win the Arkansas senate seat in 2010.

    I am scared. But God says He has not given us a spirit of fear, but power,love and a sound mind. So, where does the fear come from? Obama and his spending and the Health Care Bill and Cap and Trade nonsense. But the biggest fear is how the Senators and Legislatures DO NOT LISTEN to the American people but say they do what they think is best, not what Americans want!!!

    My husband and I made the first political type donation ever in this. We knew it would be a up hill battle and I am ready to fight it.

    After that we found out that if it passes it is in one amendment to abolish the Federal employees health care plan. That is keeping my family alive. Why must they mess with something that is working? What happened to if you like your health care you can keep it?

    I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving. Even though times are tough there is still much to be greatful for. Blessings to you and yours Governor Huckabee

    I am voting against the Senate Health Care Bill with a donation. Also, after we take a little Thanksgiving break, let's plan to get to work on defeating this monstrous bill. There is no pro-life provision, which is needed. However, I hope the whole bill can be defeated, as it would further bankrupt our country and ruin our freedom to choose our own health care. There is so much about it that is harmful.

    Happy Thanksgiving, Governor and Janet Huckabee and your family! I hope you get to be home for the holidays. And get rested up. I know greeting all those people at several book-signings each day must be very tiring. I was so glad to get some of my Christmas shopping done at the book signing for A Simple Christmas in Wichita, KS. I was the one in the red Team Huck shirt. Several people thought I was working for you, and in a sense I am. :-)

    God help America repent and turn to Him, so God can bless America. I would love to see you in Israel and am still praying to go.

    GRACE, in Kansas, PRAYING

    Be safe on that bus...
    Oh, and your Huckabee show was excellent this weekend. Every interview was great.

    As a healthcare worker and I also do <a href="http://www.research-service.com/custom-term-paper.html">term papers</a>, I fear for my patients who will no longer be receiving the care they deserve. Our president seems more willing to kill people then to save them. As US citizens we are being screwed! We are going to be paying for people, who don't even pay taxes, to have free health insurance. We are being lied to over and over again and if congress is dumb enough to pass this bill then God help us all.
