In the dark of night during a rare Saturday vote, a number of moderate Democrat Senators sacrificed their principles tonight to support the partisan health care bill that Harry Reid created in secret behind closed doors -- a government-run health care plan that increases premiums, increases taxes, cuts Medicare, and allows for taxpayer-funded abortions.
Senator Ben Nelson (D-NE) sold out his conscience by voting for a bill that allows federally-funded abortions.
Senator Blanche Lincoln (D-AR) sold out her principles by voting for a bill that allows a government-run insurance plan, something she previously said she opposed.
Senator Mary Landrieu (D-LA) simply sold her vote to the highest bidder after Harry Reid added a $100 million earmark just for Louisiana.
I urge you to contact these Senators and tell them that by sacrificing their principles, they risk sacrificing your current health care. Call the Capitol Hill switchboard at 202-224-3121. Together we can stop President... More

People around the country have been criticizing the Obama Administration’s new recommendations for limiting annual mammograms. RNC Co-Chairman Jan Larimer has written forcefully on the issue, and she and Chairman Steele wrote a letter to the President on the issue.
Even though Congresswoman Debbier Wasserman Schultz (D-FL) is an outspoken opponent of these new mammogram regulations, she is just as outspoken in her support of the Obama-Pelosi-Reid government takeover of health care.

Less than two weeks after the Obama Administration announced it would give alleged 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed the benefit and public spectacle of a civilian trial in New York City, it's clear that President Obama and his Attorney General, Eric Holder, forgot to consider the law of unintended consequences. Obama and Holder, in the haste of trying to score political points with the Left, appear to have neglected restrictions on the use of German evidence in the trial, leading Germany to send a legal team to prevent the use of this evidence in court. Deutsche Welle reports:
A legal team is going to New York to prevent the use of evidence provided by Germany in seeking a death penalty…. Germany, which does not have a death penalty, provided evidence for the trial on the condition that it could not

WASHINGTON – Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Michael Steele released the following statement today:
“Tonight a number of moderate Democrats sacrificed their principles to give Harry Reid a victory that brings America dangerously closer to having a government-run health care system. Make no mistake: this was not a free vote. A vote in favor of this procedural motion paves the way for the bill’s final adoption, which would impose a government-run health care experiment on America that increases premiums, increases taxes, cuts Medicare and allows for taxpayer-funded abortions. As the recent elections in Virginia and New Jersey showed, Harry Reid’s health care scheme is exactly what voters do not want. President Obama, Harry Reid and their liberal Senate allies will surely gloat and pat themselves on the back for winning
