219-212
I think I've seen this episode before:
- The democrats added hundreds of pages of legislation to the bill overnight.
- Not one representative actually read the entire bill.
- The Obama administration broke its promise to us about giving the American people at least 5 days to read the bill.
- Americans lit up the switchboard in Washington to no avail.
The bill in all its glory:

Number of Words in the bill:
145,464

And now, the largest tax in American history is on its way to the senate to become law. So far, not one, solitary, massive spending bill brought before either house has been stopped. Should we not be concerned about how we will pay for this? I submit that we should be concerned. In fact, it should worry both Democrats and Republicans as our freedoms are literally being stolen from us by the people we elected to represent us.
Just like every time before, the democrats couldn't have done it without the help of some Republicans. The Republicans who voted for the massive tax increase:
Name District State
Mary Bono Mack 45 California
Michael Castle At-Large Delaware
Leonard Lance 7 New Jersey
Frank LoBiondo 2 New Jersey
John McHugh 23 New York
Dave Reichert 8 Washington
Chris Smith 4 New Jersey
Mark Kirk 10 Illinois
Had any 4 of these 8 Republicans voted on principle, we would not be facing this government-caused crisis. Feel free to call or write the reps above and tell them how you feel.
