As we all know, the House of Representatives voted 244-188 to repeal the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, otherwise known as Obamacare, yesterday. Although this is good news, the fight is not over. The measure must be passed in the Democratically controlled Senate, as well. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) has vowed to block any attempt to even vote on the bill in the Senate. This is a blatant disregard for the law and the voice of the American people, once again, by those in Washington. The latest Rasmussen poll shows now 53% of American citizens want Obamacare to be repealed. One Fox News commentator said, “I have to wonder what representative democracy means when elected representatives refuse to even consider what their constituents want.”
Although it may be futile at this point to make our voices heard in this matter, I still want to do what I can to do my part. The following petition comes from the ACLJ and has 29,200 people who have signed as of this post. Click the link below to sign. http://aclj.org/obamacare/obamacare-repeal-vote-senate
Here is another site that offer a petition that will be given to the Senate to demand a repeal vote be taken. http://www.foramerica.org/
I express my thanks to any and all who take the time to sign the petition. God bless.

REPEAL!!
Not Repeal and Replace!
Short and sweet AND right on point! Harry Reid makes me sick! Hey, what does a nice gentlemen writer/professor need to do to get added to your blogroll? It would be nice…Cheers!
Thanks again Jon-Paul! I have been very busy with work, but I have still been able to catch some of your posts and they are all very well done. Your posts are always very informative and candid.
Well, I already have you added as “One More Cup” on my blogroll! Would you prefer I change the name to “The Thinker”? I would be more than happy to make the change if you would like me to! God bless.
Hiya Sam!
Now don’t I feel like the lost puppy! Actually I have different words that I use for that expression a la Jack Nicholson but one must remain civil and respectful! For the life of me I didn’t think to look for ‘one more cup’ insofar as it is my username. But hey, I’ll take em’ any which way I can…
I must add that it is quite a honor and privilege to be recognized over here, and of course I thank you heaps! Keep up the gr8 work…
