CBO REPORT A SCAM; FINAL OBAMACARE VOTE SUNDAY
Steve Elliott, Grassfire Nation
This isn't over.
The Democrats are doing everything in their power to create the illusion that the House will pass ObamaCare on Sunday. And everything is designed to create the appearance of "momentum," including the bogus CBO numbers (more on that in a minute).
Pelosi must maintain every Democrat "yes" vote from the earlier House vote in the fall to pass ObamaCare. The target is 216 votes. But Politico posted this morning a list of 16 potential "No-to-Yes" votes and 26 potential "Yes-to-No" votes. If this holds, ObamaCare fails.
And votes are still moving. Yesterday, two Democrats officially flipped from "No-to-Yes" while two went from "Yes-to-No."
+ + CBO Report is Bogus
Democrats are desperately trying to create the illusion of momentum from yesterday's CBO report, but the report is bogus -- a fact confirmed by a story in the New York Times - yes, that New York Times. After stating Democratic leaders "spent more than a year" working with the CBO "as they fine-tuned" the various ObamaCare bills, the
article states:
"In other words, the overall numbers were
never going to miss the mark. Whenever the
budget office judged that some element or
elements of the bill would cause a problem
meeting the cost and deficit-reduction targets,
Democrats just adjusted the underlying
legislation to make sure it would hit their
goal."
Translation -- the numbers were rigged. Just like the restof this process, Pelosi and gang have made a mockery of the Congressional Budget Office and the latest CBO report is just part of their scam.
+ + House "Slaughter" in place
Everything still points to the House using the "Slaughter Solution" to "deem" the Senate bill passed while they pass the reconciliation bill.
But, again, this is not a done deal! This is a fluid process, and votes are still switching. That's why it is critical grassroots Americans keep up the pressure.
Amidst a sea of faxes and phone calls, pouring into House offices yesterday, Grassfire Nation hand-delivered morethan ONE MILLION petitions -- with each of the 435 House offices on Capitol Hill receiving petitions from their constituents.
Success or failure of ObamaCare depends on you and me. We are the last line of defense against this socialist attack to reshape our nation - and we can't afford to let even one moment slip by during these last hours...
That's why I'm urging ALL members of our team who haven't yet taken action to do so right now by fax, phone or both.
Action #1 -- Send faxes right now
We are in the final 48-hour countdown. Your state lawmakers are being influenced by their peers, and radical special interest groups eager to reshape our nation.
They need to hear from you right now.

Tell your Representative what you think about ObamaCare and how their vote this weekend will influence your vote in November.
Action #3 -- Forward this to your friends
Use this time to engage your friends and family members to get involved in this critical debate. Ask everyone you know to do something today to let their voice be heard. Forward this message to as many people as you can.
Finally...
