Will the Dems' health care Christmas Present to America be an improvement or detriment to our health care system?


I hope you will get behind Pence’s proposal and call your senators and congressman. Given the contentious quality of the immigration debate, what is needed is support for people like Mike Pence, for whom faith and public service go hand-in-hand.

Take action:
Please call your congressman and senators and urge them to vote for the Pence Plan: No Amnesty Immigration Reform. Call 202-224-3121. You can also reach your two senators and congressman directly through Townhall.com.

Chuck, hear us,,"ITS AN EVIL MONEY CULT"
Most of the Senate, 60 or more members R and D are members, 250 or more of the Congress R and D, the President and his father, all his Cabinet,
the leaders of the Republican and Democratic org's all of them and the ones who provide the money to re-elect are in a huge evil money cult, and you know it down in your soul, yet once more you go that path which you know leads to the world of sin, we plead with you do not follow these false gods you see before you, for you will see something else when the weavers work is known not to be of gold after all.

beware it is a true evil money cult do not fall in with them you will not come out, now go and sin no more

Pence Solves Problems
Hello all,
Fly over NYC some time. Then imagine everyone down there - all 12 million or more - as an illegal in need of rounding up and deportation. Then imagine rounding them up and deporting them.
Now imagine a great big wall across the southern border of TX, NM, AZ and CA, and across the northern border of ME, NH, VT, NY, PA, OH, MI, WI, MN, ND, MT, ID and WA. Stretch that wall into the oceans so that they can't swim here.
Now imagine you are on the other side of that wall, bound and determined to get here no matter what. Is that impossibly expensive wall, and the impossibly expensive monitoring personnel and devices, going to keep you from getting here?
Mike Pence is addressing a huge problem in ways that don't belch out vitriole. He is addressing it charitably. Kudos, Mike.
The real solution is to change the incentives both here and abroad, using private sector initiatives and encouraging free trade (a western hemisphere free trade zone?) and indigenous economic growth policies, particularly in Mexico.
More about the incentives if anyone is interested.
