Alabama Health Care Freedom Act
26/03/10 12:21
We've had an amazing response to our calls for signatures on the Alabama Health Care Freedom Act coalition letter. We've got 1600 signatures from inidivduals, organizations, businesses and campaigns, and we're still counting! You can still sign online here.
On Thursday, the Democrats once again tried to play games with the people of Alabama. Senator Scott Beason continued his filibuster, until (mistakenly he admits) he allowed them to take a second vote to put his bill on the special order calendar. While this vote failed as did the first, some Democrat legislators were thrilled to be allowed to get a vote for this bill on record.
Democrats in the Alabama legislature must think we're really stupid. They think that because they vote FOR a bill, after doing everything they can to KILL the bill, we will only pay attention to the last vote and all will be well. I certainly hope they are in for a big surprise in November.
Update: I'm hearing (but not confirmed) that the Alabama Black Legislative Caucus has scheduled a press conference at 12:30 on Tuesay. It sounds like they're trying to pull the same stunt the gambling folks did and screw up our press conference. I hope this will serve as even more motivation for people on our side to make the trip.
