More on the Right is Taking Over

The Welden Bill is being debated in the House.  It provides that states will lose social service money as Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security if they provide abortion consuling to their citizens even when their state allows for it.  Ms. Louise Slaughter of NY says that this is a travesty and will no doubt be passed as the Republicans have the majority.  I believe that this will be added to the Omnibus Spending Bill.

this is an outrage, we have to spread this piece of news to the general public. its sad how most people don't know whats going on in the house, and what's sadder is that they don't want to know.

Look what they are attaching too!!!!

Republicans are also attaching a bill to exempt 20K visas from the H-1B cap to foreign high tech workers, while there are 700K high tech Americans workers without job!!. They are playing dirty by attaching this to the spending bill (which has to pass) and can only be voted up or down, so you know the results. Americans are not aware of this.
Lou covered a couple of days ago for 2 minutes and that’s it!!! I wrote to different medias asking they to cover this important issue and as you know....We have not heard a word.
Everyone should write to TV, radio stations and ask coverage, so every American know that republicans are “squeezing” in the dark a bill that will result in 20K more job loss!!!!
