Senators are negotiating on the Baucus Obamacare 6.0 proposal and it hasn't even been written yet. This fact alone tells us they have not read it either. And to add insult to injury, it is now clear they have no intention of letting us read it either !!On an almost straight party-line vote, Democrats in the Senate Finance Committee squashed an amendment that would have required Baucus' Obamacare bill to be posted on the Internet for all Americans to read. Not only that, Bunning's amendment also called for requiring the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office's official talley of how much the Baucus' Obamacare 6.0 will cost the American people and what the real impact will be on healthcare costs to be released before it was voted on. They don't want us to be able to read the bill or to see how much it will cost us. Why?They're leaving the door wide-open to pass Baucus' Obamacare 6.0 proposal in the dead of the night...under the cover of darkness...without even telling you and other concerned Americans what it will cost and how it will affect your healthcare.We must tell our elected officials, right here and now, the American people don"t want any more negotiations or deals or compromises. We want Obamacare off the table and we want it dead now !!If we will all work together, we can keep this bill from coming out of the Senate Finance Committee.....it never has to see the light of day.Rule 4 of the Rules of Procedure for the Senate Finance Committee reads: "Rule 4. Quorums._[a] Except as provided in subsection [b] one-third of the membership of the committee, including not less than one member of the majority party and one member of the minority party, shall constitute a quorum for the conduct of business."That means, at least one Republican Senator on the Finance Committee needs to be in attendence in order to pass any legislation out of the committee.In other words, 10 Republican Senators [Charles Grassley, Orin Hatch, Olympia Snowe, Jon Kyl, Jim Bunning, Mike Crapo, Pat Roberts, John Ensign, Mike Enzi and John Cornyn] could stop Obamacare cold right now by simply saying they will not support it under any circumstances.If those 10 Senators would simply say "no" and deny Democrats on the Finance Committee a quorum: Obamacare would be done..finished..it would die in committee.It is time to tell these Senate Republicans to get serious about stopping Obamacare. We did it before. We can do it again. Now is the time to show our outrage. Make your voices heard and we will defeat Obamacare once and for all !!

I like the part about if you don't purchase health insurance, you will be taxed . . . . .sorry ...fined up to $1900. If you don't pay the tax . . . .there I go again. . . .fine, you will be fined up to $25,000 and up to one year in jail. Find THAT in the Constitution.
