Transcript of Governor Sarah Palin's Facebook post:
Speaker Pelosi: Your Blue Dogs are HowlingShare
Today at 8:47am
Like
many Americans, I’m very concerned about the efforts underway to rush
through the 2,000 page Pelosi health care bill this weekend. Why the
rush? That’s a lot of pages to read. Why not give everyone the chance
to read it and debate it?
How much will this bill cost us?
It’s unclear because the figures coming out of Washington keep changing
– and always in the direction of costing more, not less. The latest
numbers show it will cost more than a trillion dollars over the decade,
but when has a government program ever come in on or under budget?
How
will we pay for it? Taxes, of course – and not just on the “rich” (you
know, the people who spur the economy by buying goods and running
companies that employ people), but also on just about everyone,
especially small businesses – the job-creating engine of our economy.
One of the points of health care reform was to help small businesses
with the cost, but this bill hurts them – and right at a time when so
many Americans are out of work and need the jobs that small businesses
produce.
What’s in this bill? The “death panel” provision is in
it. Medicare cuts are in it. Coverage of illegal immigrants is in it.
And federal funding for abortion is in it. I commend the many
Republicans and Blue Dog Democrats who are taking a principled stance
to fight this.
I had a message for Speaker Pelosi in a speech
I gave last night for the Wisconsin Right to Life – “please, please
don’t break the ‘transparency promise’ by prohibiting at least a vote
of your colleagues on funding abortion-on-demand.”
Speaker
Pelosi has already broken many promises thus far in this “reform”
exercise. She promised that this would be a bi-partisan effort, but the
bill she’s pushing isn’t bi-partisan. She promised that the final
version of the bill would be posted online 72 hours before it comes to
a vote so that the American people could clearly see what’s in it and
how we will pay for it. But she broke that promise too when she decided
to rush the bill to a vote this weekend.
The speaker must be
held accountable for her broken promises. Now is the time for Americans
who believe in the free market and who believe that we need policies
that promote job growth instead of job loss to say once and for all,
“Enough!” Stand up and make your voices heard before it’s too late.
Call and email your representatives and tell them to vote “no” on
Pelosi’s train wreck of a health care bill, or else we will vote “no”
to sending them back to Washington when we go to the polls in less than
12 months.

bureaucratic maze that the Pelosi bill would create, take a look at
