Below you will find the report on Pelosi's Monstrosity, known as HR3962, from Congressman Pete Sessions out of Texas. Here is my warning and notice to every single Congressmen and/or Senator who has voted or is planning on voting for this bill. This is it. You will never serve another term in Congress. You have pounded the final nail into your liberal coffin and I, and millions of other Americans, have made it our mission in life to keep you from ever serving in this capacity again. Kiss goodbye to Washington, D.C. in January 2011 you will no longer work or reside there.

The Hill Report
A Weekly Newsletter from Congressman Pete Sessions

Week of November 1 – November 7, 2009

Tonight, I voted against a government takeover of your health care. I have heard the message loud and clear: the majority of 32ndDistrict residents (My addition: neither do the rest of hardworking Americans) do not want higher costs, fewer options, and government interference between patients and their doctors.

So it’s a sad day for America. Ignoring the undeniable opposition of the American people, House Democrats placed their partisan political agenda over personal decision-making and passed a government takeover of health care by a vote of 220 - 215.

From criminalizing non-compliance of insurance mandates to establishing 118 new bureaucracies to control health care inAmerica, Speaker Pelosi’s 2,032-page health care reform bill tramples on the freedom and individual liberty upon which our nation was founded:

• $250,000 fine and 5 years in Jail—Maximum sentence for an American guilty of not purchasing government-approved health coverage
• 5.5 Million—Number of jobs that could be lost as a result of taxes on businesses that cannot afford to provide health coverage, according to a model by President Obama’s Economic Advisor
• $729.5 Billion—Total new taxes on small businesses, individuals, and employers who cannot afford to provide coverage that meets federal bureaucrats’ standards
• $1.055 Trillion—New federal spending of your tax dollars for a government takeover of health care
• 114 Million—Number of individuals who could lose their current coverage under the bill’s government-run health plan, according to non-partisan actuaries at the Lewin Group
• 43—Entitlement programs the bill creates, expands, or extends
• 118—Additional offices, bureaus, commissions, programs, and bureaucracies the bill creates over and above the entitlement expansions
• 3,425—Uses of the word “shall,” representing new duties for bureaucrats and mandates on individuals, businesses, and States
• 2017—Year Medicare Hospital Insurance Trust Fund will be exhausted—an entitlement crisis exacerbated by the bill, which cuts nearly $450 Billion from Medicare
  

I am appalled by this blatant attack on American freedom. Every American should be outraged.

Turning the House of Representatives into a graveyard for good ideas, House Democrats voted down House Republicans’ common-sense health care reform alternative that would lower health care premiums and increase access to affordable, high-quality care – without adding to the national debt.

Totaling only 219 pages, the alternative health reform bill includes coverage for pre-existing conditions, institutes real medical liability reform, enhances Health Savings Accounts, enables large insurance pools and purchasing across state lines, and provides incentives for states to reduce costs and increase insurance.

In fact, on Wednesday the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office reported that the House Republican health care alternative bill could lower health care premiums by 10 percent and reduce the national deficit by $68 Billion over the next 10 years.

The American people want lower health care costs, and that is exactly what the Republican alternative would deliver. Instead of an unsustainable trillion-dollar government-run health care program, our plan would reduce the national debt and demonstrates the effectiveness of fiscally-responsible health care reform.

I voted in favor of this patient-centered reform that would preserve individual choice and access to the best quality care in America. Yet, House Democrats rejected the opportunity to provide real reform, voting down the alternative bill by a vote of 258 to 176.

In the end, Speaker Pelosi’s bill wasn’t about quality health care for all Americans – it was about advancing a radical, liberal agenda intent on expanding government control and diminishing the free enterprise system.

I believe that the American people will hold House Democrats accountable for their vote for government-controlled health care. I stand with the American people in this fight. Together, we must defeat the Pelosi health care bill and bring about true reform that provides every American access to quality health care of their choice.

Have a good weekend.
Sincerely,

Pete Sessions

Are you kidding me? I thought this was to help the pour and downtrodden of the nation to have healthcare? I thought this was to take care of Americans too pour or too damned lazy to work, to have healthcare? How are they to afford it if they are tossed in jail for not having government run insurance? How are they to afford it when they get out and are working a dead-end, minimum wage job to pay the fine, which would be the equivalent of using a thimble full of water on a raging forest fire.

Nancy Pelosi has become the biggest pariah this nation has seen and the Democrats are dancing around like minions leaping gleefully around the bonfire of our rights and freedoms, and singing, "All hail to Queen Nancy." She, with her viciously botoxed face simply smiles and bows her head to her loyal subjects while inwardly cackling that Americans will now pay the price for the nation she has come to hate so much. Her partner in crime, Harry Reid, now has the ball in his court and will soon take the side of Nancy Pelosi as two of the most hated people in America.

Oh yes, liberal politicians, all you who have participated in the dismantling of the Constitution, I have made it my personal mission to not only see you tossed out of office, but to have individual cases of treason levied against each of you. So laugh it up while you can, your days are drawing to an end.

We must:

Inundate the Senate with phone calls, every single Senator, at let them know how dangerous a "yes" vote on this legislation will be. Let them know how dangerous it will be if they combine their travesties of justice and healthcare with Pelosi's.

Also, contact every single congressman who voted for HR3962 and let them know you have now made it your personal mission to make sure they never serve another term in office for betraying the American people with this healthcare legislation.

This is what I am going to do and ask all I know to do. In the meantime, look at available candidates, study them and see which are the true Americans who love and will defend the Constitution, the Republic and remain fiscally conservative. Here in our race, with Mark Shurtleff dropping out, I’ve been on the phone day and night looking to see who will replace Mark in this race. It is looking like a couple of men will be stepping up, one of which is a strong possibility. I have been assured by those I trust that I will really like this man. I am sitting down to meet with him this next week and grill the guy. I’ll look into him and let you know what I think. He might be the best answer to Mark dropping out.

For the House, Jason Chaffetz is still the best answer although I am still not 100% comfortable with him. Until the man has some power we won’t know his true measure. But for now he is voting correctly on just about every issue.

And last, but certainly not least, educate your children about the real America and not the America the liberals are painting. Teach them to love the Constitution. Teach them to know the founding fathers and why they chose a Republic form of government over a straight Democracy. Teach them to realize the wisdom in being fiscally conservative, defending the unborn, defending the Constitution, defending the America God entrusted to us.

I am going to start taking Sheryl Devereaux's Constitution classes (they are free) when she starts them over in a couple of weeks. And then keep up with everything else I am doing.

We, as in America, are truly in this position now because we have an uneducated populace as to who America really is and what our purpose is. We have to change that if we hope to save her, and we will save her!

I leave with you with a quote I've posted on this blog before by President Harold B. Lee:

"Men may fail in this country, earthquakes may come, seas may heave beyond their bounds, there may be great drought, disaster, and hardship, but this nation, founded on principles laid down by men whom God raised up, will never fail. This is the cradle of humanity, where life on this earth began in the Garden of Eden. This is the place of the new Jerusalem. This is the place that the Lord said is favored above all other nations in all the world. This is the place where the Savior will come to His temple. This is the favored land in all the world. Yes, I repeat, men may fail, but this nation won't fail. I have faith in America; you and I must have faith in America, if we understand the teachings of the gospel of Jesus Christ. We are living in a day when we must pay heed to these challenges.

"I plead with you not to preach pessimism. Preach that this is the greatest country in all the world. This is the favored land. This is the land of our forefathers. It is the nation that will stand despite whatever trials or crises it may yet have to pass through." (Ye Are the Light of the World, Harold B. Lee, p350-51)

It's a little hard to believe. Several years ago, when I began contemplating opening a publishing house, even I could not have imagined that the day would arrive when my publishing house signed Attorney General Mark Shurtleff as our first author. Stunning! Even more so, never could I have imagined that the great-great granddaughter of Dred Scott would fly in to help Mark celebrate the release of this incredible book about her ancestor. You will get the opportunity to not only meet and hear from Mark Shurtleff tonight, but also Lynne Jackson as she shares with us a little bit about Dred.

Today is the National Book Launch Party introducing Am I Not a Man? The Dred Scott Story to the nation. Mark will be at the Barnes & Noble at The Gateway in Salt Lake City tonight. (Details at the end of this post.)

We, at Valor Publishing Group, really sat down and pulled together a real party. Something fun, entertaining, enlightening, inspiring, tasty and you'll walk away with a copy of one of the most important books of our generation to grace the shelves of your home libraries.

Really, this book has opened my eyes to so much and I truly have developed a deep and abiding respect for Dred Scott and have come to understand how important he is in the course of American history. Indeed, the long night of slavery which existed in the U.S. was but a small fraction of what existed around the world. But the greatest part of that travesty of justice, was that it ever existed in the United States of America at all...the land of the free and the home of the brave.

Mark Shurtleff has does an incredible job bringing into full living color the life and times of Dred Scott. Am I Not a Man? The Dred Scott Story will educate and inspire you to remember who you are and that when something is really important, it is worth spending the rest of your days fighting for that very thing. With Dred Scott, his first wife was sold to another plantation and he never saw her again. Can you imagine the incredible heartbreak to have the one you love ripped from your arms and sold to another. It is virtually incomprehensible, not to mention monstrous.

But Dred Scott never gave up. He simply didn't. One day he met Harriet, the one woman who would stand by his side until his dying day, supporting and loving him as he fought for freedom and the right to be his own man. The sons of the family who had owned him when he was younger subsidized and fought that battle with him. When the infamous Dred Scott vs. Sanford decision was handed down by the U.S. Supreme Court, one of the worst decisions the U.S. Supreme Court has ever handed down, and freedom was denied him, the Blow family sons bought the Scott family and promptly freed them.

I walked away from this book thinking to myself: Never give up. Never say die. Never walk away. Although Dred Scott was physically a small man, he was, and remains to this day, a giant among men. He is an inspiration to me and I am so glad that I was able to learn so much more about him and what was going on in America during that time.

Mark, I thank you for dedicating so much of your life to bring Dred Scott to the attention of the world. Thank you for fighting through the trials and obstacles of life and persevering. Dred Scott didn't give up and neither did you. Both of you are an inspiration to me.

I've really been delving into the writings of Cleon Skousen lately and started digging on the internet to learn more about this great defender of America and God. Truly, I am in awe of his mind and his immense patriotism and righteousness.

I found his obituary, which was amazing:

Obituary of W. Cleon Skousen

W. Cleon Skousen, prolific supporter of God, country, and the unlimited potential for greatness in all people, passed away at his Salt Lake City home on January 9 of natural causes incident to age, just 11 days shy of his 93rd birthday. He was lovingly surrounded by his wife of 69 years, Jewel, and many family members.

The Making of AmericaKnown by millions for his devoted understanding and support of the U.S. Constitution, his love of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, his insights into politics, religion, good government, and human nature, he leaves behind an exhaustive work of scholarship created over three-quarters of a century that covers dozens of specialties. Among the 46 books he wrote are the best sellers, The Naked Communist, The Naked Capitalist, So You Want to Raise a Boy, The Making of America, The Five Thousand Year Leap, and Fantastic Victory about the Israel-Arab war of 1967.

His books on religion, such as The First 2,000 Years, Prophecy and Modern Times, Isaiah Speaks to Modern Times, Treasures from the Book of Mormon, and Days of the Living Christ, reached millions of readers in the Christian, Jewish and Islamic communities.

And his speech entitled "A Personal Search for the Meaning of the Atonement" is perhaps the most widely distributed audio tape among members and missionaries of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints-a fact that made him smile in astonishment. "I've had missionaries tell me that speech has been translated into Russian, Spanish, Portuguese, and French, and has been passed around on every continent where missionaries serve."

Skousen served 16 years in J. Edgar Hoover's FBI as an agent and the communications director during the waning years of the gangster era and WWII. He also was the editor of the nation's leading police magazine, "Law And Order."

He was a popular teacher of several thousand students at Brigham Young University for 16 years, and a popular speaker across the country where he sometimes gave as many as 300 speeches a year. His devotion to America's founding fathers and the Constitution led to the creation of The Freeman Institute that later became the National Center for Constitutional Studies, an organization through which his speeches and writings educated and united large segments of voters to elect senators, congressmen, governors and presidents who loved the Constitution.

Known for his untiring devotion to principle and integrity, he served as Salt Lake City's chief of police and created what Time Magazine called "A model police force." After 4 years of service, the city mayor created a firestorm of protest when he fired Skousen on trumped-up charges, an event the mayor later called the worst political mistake of his life.

Warmly embraced with the friendly honorarium "a living national treasure," Skousen and his wife maintained a modest home in Salt Lake City that became a mandatory stopover for any person with political aspirations both in Utah and beyond. Friends and visitors included ecclesiastical leaders of all faiths, politicians from all major parties, students of all ages, and of course, local missionaries every Sunday night.

Skousen was born in Raymond, Alberta, Canada on Jan. 20, 1913, and was educated in Canada, Mexico and the U.S. He served a 2-year mission for the LDS Church at age 17. He earned his PhD at George Washington University. He and Jewel are the parents of eight children, 50 grandchildren, and 67 great-grand children. He was preceded in death by three brothers and two sisters, his daughter Kathleen, two grandchildren, and one great-grand child. He is survived by his wife Jewel, and children David (Judy), Orem, UT; Eric (Cheryl), Orem, UT; Julianne (Glenn) Kimber, Alpine, UT; Sharon (Russ) Krey, Washington; Harold (Anne), Riverton, UT; Paul (Kathy), South Jordan, UT; Brent (Myralynne), West Jordan, UT.

Deseret News - Friday, 13 January 2006

Glenn Beck, oddly, was the one who brought Cleon Skousen back to the forefront of my mind. On one of my book tours, I was signing books at Moon's Book Store in Dallas, TX when I found Br. Skousen's Days of the Living Christ. I don't think I signed enough books to pay for what I purchased that day. But I believe that is when I truly began loving the mind of Cleon Skousen. He was so unabashedly patriotic and truly understood the divine purposes of the United States of America. For that alone, I could offer the man my greatest and utmost respect.

Everyone who is a follower and reader of my blog knows how deeply I love America, what she stands for and equally, why she was created. Certainly, at this time our nation's history I believe the wisdom and knowledge of Cleon Skousen could go a long way in helping Americans to understand where we came from and where we are headed.

I am unwilling to give up the fight for America. I believe there is so much more to America than most Americans know. It is one of our divine missions to remain as the bastion for liberty to the world. In order to do that, we must restore the U.S. Constitution as the rule of law. Help me, America. Let us take our nation back.

Have you called your senators and congressmen and filled them in on how you feel about what's going on?

Have you called the White House and left Barack Obama no doubt about your feelings as to what he's been doing?

Have you educated yourself on the U.S. Constitution, the Republic form of government, the dangers of Socialism/Communism and our founding fathers?

Have you shared with your family, friends, neighbors and peers what you're learning and the truth about America?

Have you taught your children the truth about America instead of what is being taught today?

Have you awakened to the dangers facing America now and simply said, "Not on my watch."

We must roll up our sleeves, dig in and simply get the job done. The alternative is unacceptable.

27 October 2009 - Orem, UT Mark L. Shurtleff, Utah State Attorney General and author, will be joined by Lynne Jackson and recording artist, Alex Boye’, on Tuesday, November 3, 2009 at Barnes & Noble Booksellers in Salt Lake City’s Gateway for the national launch of his new book, Am I Not a Man; The Dred Scott Story, published by Valor Publishing Group.

Candace E. Salima, president of Valor Publishing Group, has planned several activities for the book launch party and hopes to attract a wide spectrum of new fans for Shurtleff “We are so excited for Mark and hope this becomes an opportunity for the public to know him on a different level.”

Musical tributes by the Calvary Baptist Choir of Salt Lake City will be featured, with a special performance by Alex Boye, dedicated to the memory of Dred Scott. Lynne Jackson, the great-great granddaughter of Dred Scott, will be a guest speaker at the launch party. In addition to the performances and presentations, Valor Publishing Group has commissioned baker Cindy Parvizi of CakeFlake to create two specialty cakes for the occasion.

Mark Shurtleff’s historical novel details the story of Dred Scott, a freed slave who was forced back into bondage, and his fight to regain his liberty. Scott is arguably the most important figure in the 18th century struggle for freedom from slavery. His tragic case against the U.S. Supreme Court emboldened the abolitionist movement of the time and became part of Abraham Lincoln’s presidential platform and key reference for the historical, the Emancipation Proclamation.

The national book launch and release will start at 5:30 p.m. at the Barnes & Noble Booksellers location in Salt Lake City’s Gateway open air mall. Festivities will end at 8:30 p.m.

Lynne Jackson will be available for interviews on November 3rd. Mark Shurtleff is available for interviews from October 28th to November 3rd.

Obama and his unholy gang are like rabid dogs, frothing at the mouth, snapping and snarling at everyone who does not genuflect and shut up. Stupidity is running rampant in the Obama Administration. Who will draw their cancerous wrath now?

During Obama's campaign he blackballed any reporter, television or radio station who dared to call him what he was, a socialist. Hard-hitting questions weren't allowed and those stations were cut off.

Then Americans became fed up with his antics and his unholy desire to destroy America as a republic and build it back up into a communist society. So they gathered together, by the millions, and participated in rallies, emailing, phone and fax campaigns and raged at Obama and his unholy gang of thieves, demanding they STOP, as is their right as citizens of this great nation, in the destruction of America. So with foam dropping from his fangs, Obama let loose his equally rabid minions on hard-working Americans and had them declared right-wing extremists and domestic terrorists.

Then healthcare came onto the scene and Americans got a look at what the 111th Congress, under the guidance of the head rabid dog, Obama, was crafting and hit the proverbial ceiling. No, senators and congressmen didn't read the legislation but Americans did and we took to the streets again and demanded the inhumane and monstrous legislation be stopped cold. So Nancy Pelosi, who frightens small children with her overly botoxed face, started attacking hard-working Americans.

Then the collective giant rabid head of the Obama Administration turned its bloodshot, crazed eyes on FoxNews. Immanuel and Axelrod took to the airwaves and began the collective ridiculing of FoxNews, whose viewership immediately jumped 20% in response to the schoolyard bullying which is the staple of Chicago-style politics. The White House press secretary began making snide little comments any time a FoxNews reporter asked a question. Anita Dunn, in all her glorious idiocy, picked up the hammer and took her turn at FoxNews. And on it went, turning this White House into, in the eyes of the world at large and certainly in those of an angry nation, a farcical rabid dog who had lost all sense of rhyme and reason.

While Obama wrings his hands and dithers about how many troops to send to Afghanistan, American lives are being lost. While Anita Dunn memorializes Mao Zedong in the same breath with Mother Teresa, Obama's 40+ czars continue to spout their anti-American, anti-Constitution, pro-communist agendas while Obama continues on his perpetual campaign to "make people 'like' him."

Barack Obama is the neighborhood bully. Plain and simple, there is no other way to put it. You either see things his way or your toast. Barack Obama cannot STAND to be challenged. He prevaricates, stammers and stutters his way through his threats. Compares Nancy Pelosi to a washerwoman wielding the mop of change, cleaning up the mess left behind by previous administration. He remains unwilling to accept responsibility and runs his czars out in front of the public like so much cannon fodder while he sits in the corner, giggling as he rubs his hands together gleefully watching the fall of America. Oh yeah, the Teflon Don has nothing on Barack Obama.

Hey Obama, I'm serving notice. We can see you. We're on to your tricks. We're on to your sleights of hand. We're on to your lies. We're on to your communist agenda. We're on to your sheer unadulterated hatred of America. We're on to your cowardice. We're on to every single failing which has the brightest spotlight shining on it right now.

You cannot shut us up. You cannot shut us down. You cannot attack America and walk away unscathed. In November 2010, the Democrats will lose Congress and you will be left with no way to further your communist agenda. All who have chosen to attack the Constitution instead of honor their oaths and defend that divinely inspired document will find themselves collectively kicked out on their butts and men and women of integrity and true patriotism will fill the halls of Congress. You pathetic, traitorous son of a bitch, shut up or get out of the way, I don't care which. Just be aware that you are officially the worst president the United States has ever seen, and that took some doing. Your days are numbered and Americans across this nation are fighting hard to make sure you do not serve a 2nd term, even to impeach you before the first one finishes.

It is my suggestion you resign before you are impeached and tossed into prison for committing treason. It is my suggestion you fire your 42 czars and tell them to to get the hell out of the country and save you a spot, because communists are not welcome in the land of the free and the home of the brave. It is my suggestion you do not sign the Climate Change treaty in December, for in so doing you will sound the death knell to your political career. It is my suggestion you back off of Cap & Trade before Americans become so enraged they lose all sense of reason. It is my suggestion you drop the public healthcare option and fining poor Americans because they can't afford health insurance before Americans decide to run you out of town on a rail. It is my suggestion you drop all pretension of being American, admit to America that you are communist-Muslim sympathizer who will destroy this nation if you are left unchecked.

Man up, you lily livered coward. Your time in America is through. Stop before you shame your daughters utterly and completely. Stop before it is too late. For there are millions upon millions of Americans who will not allow America to fall. Do not try us. You will not like the result.
