The morning after the House passed the health care reform bill 220-215, CNN interviews one of the Congressmen who voted for the bill, Anh “Joseph” Cao from Louisiana – the only Republican to vote “yes” for the bill.

bytestyle.tv It comes down to this: Each “representative” that voted to pass Cap and Trade has violated their Congressional Oath of Office to “well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office.” How on earth can you–in good faith–fulfill the duties of the office by voting to pass 1500 pages of legislation YOU HAVEN’T READ?! So here’s my own personal Oath: I do hereby solemnly swear to remove from office every representative who thinks it’s ok to pass 1500 pages of ill-conceived legislation without knowing what’s in it. Seriously. The gloves are coming off. Who’s with me?

At the close of an address on health reform to Congress, President Obama reminds people: “I will not waste time with those who have made the calculation that it’s better politics to kill this plan, than to improve it.” “If you misrepresent what’s in this plan, we will call you out,” he adds. “And I will not accept the status quo as a solution. Not this time. Not now.” He also talks about a letter he received from late Senator Ted Kennedy that was written in May, but delivered to Obama after Kennedy’s death. In the letter, Ted called health reform “unfinished business” but was confident that “this is the year” that it would pass. Obama also remarked on when it is necessary fo government to step in.
