This article is based on a post by the National Republican Congressional Committee<\/a>, so please remember, it is one side of the story.  If this ever shows up in the national media (which I doubt it will), it will be interesting to hear the spin.<\/p>\n

Two Democrat California Representatives (Dennis Cardoza and Jim Costa) which were previously listed as ‘undecided’ on the healthcare vote are not listed as ‘yes’ votes by Code Red (a group tracking the vote count).  Considering the fact that public opinion is rapidly moving in the other direction, why would they go against their constituents to vote ‘yes’?  <\/p>\n

According to the article:<\/p>\n

“The U.S. Department of Interior announced yesterday that it is increasing water allocations for the Central Valley of California, a region that depends on these water allocations to support local agriculture and jobs. The region has recently been starved for water and as a result unemployment has soared.  Not surprisingly, Cardoza and Costa had a hand in the announcement.”<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

This is another backroom deal put on to pass healthcare.  Hugh Hewitt has reported on the Central Valley water problems for a few months on his website (hughhewitt.com<\/a>).  You may need to be a member to follow that particular link, but I am sure many of the California newspapers have carried the story.<\/p>\n

If this were a good bill, it would have passed by now.  It is a bad bill that the Democrat Party has been trying to pass since President Obama took office.  The history of this bill is very similar to the history of George Bush’s immigration reform bill, only George Bush had the sense to listen to the majority of the American people and withdraw the bill.  President Obama seems determined to run over the wishes of the majority of the American people.  If you are opposed to this bill and have not yet voiced your opposition, please call your Representative while there is still time.  This is the link to the official House of Representatives website (www.house.gov<\/a>).  If you follow the link and the simple steps at the site, you can easily email your Representative and voice your opinion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
