Wear it like the badge of honor Rep Joe Wilson (R-SC). H. Res 744 ‘dissin’ you for speaking truth to power and using ‘decorum’ as the excuse undermines the additional truth that liberals have bashed former President George W Bush (43) and others in the most dispicable ways yet act holier than thou while adoring their Messiah in the halls of Congress.

White House Quietly Admits Joe Wilson Was Correct. Wait, What?

In the wee hours of Friday night, at the end of a long Friday, the rememberence of September 11th, and going into a weekend of protests – from which Obama did his best Holy Grail impersonation – the White House made a very quiet hush hush admission

The bullet points sent tonight by the White House:

* Undocumented immigrants would not be able to buy private insurance on the exchange. Those who are lawfully present in this country would be able to participate.

* Undocumented immigrants would be able to buy insurance in the non-exchange private market, just as they do today. That market will shrink as the exchange takes hold, but it will still exist and will be subject to reforms such as the bans on pre-existing conditions and caps.

* Verification will be required when purchasing health insurance on the exchange. One option is the SAVE program (Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements) which states currently use to make sure that undocumented immigrants don’t participate in safety-net programs for which they are ineligible.

* There would be no change in the law that requires emergency rooms to treat people who need emergency care, including undocumented immigrants. There is already a federal grant program that compensates states for emergency room costs associated with treatment of undocumented immigrants, a provision sponsored by a Republican lawmaker.

WH ON HEALTH CARE, ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS

The healthcare issue should be the last chance for politicians. No matter what happens from this point forward honest reform cannot be achieved with the current Administration and the 111th Congress. If this legislative nightmare is not abandoned everyone who votes in favor of it should be voted out of office at the next opportunity. Until public affairs in Washington, DC can be dealt with in an honest and effective manner based on founding principles the culture of corruption will continue and no good will come of it. As voters, no matter how painful, the only option available is to throw the bums out.and continue to do so until integrity is reintroduced to the process.

Honest government will not exist until those seeking public office are convinced dishonest behavior will end their careers. And the only way to do that is by examples in bulk. Democrat, Republican, Independent, it doesn’t matter. If they vote for healthcare reform in the current session throw the bums out.

There is no doubt Joe Wilson is under attack by liberals since his now infamous ‘you lie’ response to President Barack Obama when the President stated in his Sept 9th healthcare reform speech to a joint session of Congress ‘that illegal immigrants wouldn’t be covered under his health plan.’

For those claiming that Rep Joe Wilson (R-SC) is incorrect you can follow the link above. It explains that the Senate thought that problem was addressed but have since added verification and enforcement language to their version. That’s vindication for Joe Wilson. And it serves as an indictment of the President’s truthfulness.

And Joe Wilson IS under attack. If you visit his House website all you will find is his official bio Which by the way is impressive, a life of public service. It is likely his House website was being attacked by the opposition or he is being subdued by Congress. Either way it is wrong that his House site has to be protected from crazies.

In addition, his campaign website has been reduced to an appeal to the public for campaign support. And if you use the dot org or dot net endings to his campaign website domain name you will be redirected to www healthreform dot gov, a site used by President Obama health reform propaganda and registered to the NIH.

The registrants for the fake Joe Wilson sites are not disclosed by the registry. But a suspicious address in Scottsdale AZ (possibly a UPS store mailbox) is the only real info given. That address and the address of one of internet registry services are surprisingly similar. They are on the same street in Scottsdale.

In light of what is happening and disregarding any conspiracy theories this blog is sending a contribution to Joe Wilson’s campaign. Perhaps others reading this will be encouraged to do the same. It would be fitting to use the power of the internet to raise money for Joe Wilson like others have done in the recent past. If you click on the campaign logo above it will take you to Joe Wilson’s campaign site and the donation rules are layed out for you. Plus the other information required is there also.

If you want to keep a Congressman who took the risk of speaking truth to power in the only way it would be noticed and actually had an effect send your campaign contribution to Joe Wilson now. I am.

BTW, whatever you can afford. If you can ‘max out’ the legal contribution, go for it. If not, remember, thousands or millions of small contributions get it done.

Keep Rep Joe Wilson (R-SC) in Congress. We need more like him.

This blog supports Joe Wilson for Congress. If you can support Rep Joe Wilson’s campaign for Congress here is the link (click here) Joe Wilson is now under attack by liberal opposition for calling out President Obama at the joint session of Congress for dishonest statements about healthcare, etc. And Joe Wilson is CORRECT !!

It has been suggested in news reports that the opposition effort has raised noticeable funds for Joe Wilson’s opponent in the next election. But it has also been reported the opponent has more debt than the effort raised. So, help Joe out. He’s a good guy who did what all of us would like to do. Call Obama out for his false and misleading statements in a joint session of Congress.

And Speaker Pelosi wants the whole story to go away. She probably is concerned any discussion of honesty will not help liberals. So again, if you can, help Joe Wilson get re-elected.
