On Tuesday, the Senate health committee voted 12-11 in favor of a two-page amendment that would require all Members and their staff to enroll in any new government-run health plan..
Three cheers for Congressman John Fleming of Louisiana!
Congressman (Louisiana physician) has proposed an amendment that would require congressmen and senators to take the same health care plan they force on us (under proposed legislation they are curiously exempt).
Congressman Fleming is encouraging people to go on his Website and Sign his petition (very simple – just email).

It took me less than a minute to sign up to require our congressmen and senators to drink at the same trough!
Please urge as many people as you can to do the same!
If Congress forces this on the American people, the Congress should have to accept the same level of health care for themselves and their families.
To do otherwise is the height of hypocrisy!

I signed this and am so glad they have this. Let’s make sure congress eats the same dog food they feed us!
Congressman John Fleming ‘s AMENDMENT is just what those arrogant nutcases in our congress and senate should be FORCED to adhere to.
Who do they think they are? Kings and Queens? (Well….except for Barney.)
……Thank you RAC for sending this to me.

Done. We need a 28th Amendment to make Congress and the president to be under the laws they pass. We also need term limits.

Maybe with the new congress they can come up with an impeachment agenda.
Also, they make sense, obamas plan on the surface doesn’t. And his plan is not about health care. So for 7 more months we need to hold on and fight this thing.
Thank you everyone so much. I also posted it at Facebook. I hope a lot of people sign this.
