According to Code Red, 16 House members remain undecided on how they will vote on the health care takeover bill (as of Friday night, 10:52 p.m.).
U.S. Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Muskogee) sent House members a stern message yesterday, warning them they will be exposed if they switch their vote from no to yes in exchange for earmarks.

The Choice: ‘Deem and Pass’ OR ‘Pass and Stow’?
The time is upon us.
For the American people and for our posterity, which will it be in the House of Representatives?
Will it be the House of ‘Deem and Pass’ or the House of ‘Pass and Stow’?

Lawsuit Ready to Challenge Constitutionality of Health Care Passage Process
Today, it's unclear whether the U.S. House of Representatives will pass the health care takeover bill. Democratic leaders don't yet have the votes, apparently, to takeover one-sixth of the U.S. economy. Rep. Bart Stupak (D-Mich.) and his allies remain committed to vote against the bill due to its inclusion of public financing of abortion.
Of course, reports are circulating that Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) will rely on the so-called Slaughter Rule to "deem the bill to have passed in the House" without actually voting on the Senate version of the bill. This moves the bill forward and allows House members from actually having to go on record for this unpopular bill.
If that happens in violation of the U.S. Constitution, Article 1, Section 7, then constitutional challenges will surely be offered in court. In fact, Landmark Legal Foundation President Mark Levine (also a well-known talk radio host) has already drafted a legal Complaint, which can be viewed by clicking here.
The House vote (or maneuver) can be expected by Saturday. All members of the Oklahoma delegation are committed to vote against the bill.
If this socialistic health care plan passes, a recent survey found that up to 46 percent of doctors nationwide may leave the practice of medicine, thus setting the stage for future doctor shortages and medical rationing, just as the opponents have predicted.

Generation Zero Documentary Explores Roots of Financial Meltdown
One of the most talked about documentaries today is Generation Zero. It was a sleeper hit at both the Conservative Political Action Conference last weekend and at the Tea Party convention in Nashville. Sean Hannity devoted his entire Fox News program to the documentary Tuesday night.
The full-length feature examines the roots of the 2008 financial meltdown in the U.S. and posits the idea that what happened is NOT a failure of America's economic system of capitalism, but rather a failure of our culture and the values held by many in the Sixties generation.
