U.S. Senate Republicans Outed: Their Mere 'No' Votes are 'Yes' Votes for Obamacare

Investigating Senate Republicans along with Obama;
Call your GOP Senators and let them know their cover is blown
.

The Republican U.S. Senators have it in their power to use legitimate parliamentarian means of preventing the Soros-Obama-Pelosi-Reid healthcare takeover bill. That is the astute and well reasoned revelation of Erick Erickson, of the political blog, RedState.com.

His article is linked here and called: "Fight."

Tonight's "Awakening" guest, J.B. Williams, of the newly formed electoral action operation, "FreedomForce.US" underscores this with his 12/13 op-ed piece, "Open Call to Congressional Republicans."

Mr. Erickson posits:

The Senate, unlike the House of Representatives, has parliamentary rules and procedures that give the minority the ability to stall legislation. In fact, unlike the House, the minority have the ability to virtually paralyze the Senate. Doing so is not something we would want or expect for every bad bill that comes through Congress, but the proposed healthcare legislation is probably the worst piece of legislation ever considered by the United States Congress. It is the most intrusive, most damaging, most costly, most dangerous bill to the economic and personal freedom and liberty of individual Americans that Congress has ever considered. If there is any bill that deserves being stopped by shutting down the Senate, it is this one.

There are a whole series of parliamentary maneuvers that could be used by Republican senators to stop this bill. There is a hard backstop to the current process (Christmas). The Republicans’ goal should be to prevent Reid from passing the bill before that time. If he goes past Christmas and is forced to adjourn or recess, the momentum will shift in favor of those opposing the bill.

How could this be done?

Read how it can be done, in the remainder of his piece.

There is now no cover, no political fig leaves for Sen. Mitch McConnell, nor for any GOP Senator. It does not even take the entire Republican caucus to raise parliamentarian objections, to call for quorum, etc. and to stand in front of the totalitarian armada of Anti-American tanks deceitfully called "healthcare reform."

It just takes any with authentic patriotism, courage, and responsibility to the People and Constitution of the United States of America.
