Last week, House Republicans called on Speaker Pelosi to hold an immediate, stand-alone, up-or-down vote on the Defund ACORN Act. Republicans also began an effort to force the Speaker to post major bills online for at least three days before a vote by Congress. And as of today, 135 days have passed as President Obama refuses to meet with Republicans to discuss common sense health care reforms. Here's more on these and other issues on our radar this week:
LET AMERICA READ THE BILLS. Republicans began an effort to force Speaker Pelosi to give lawmakers and the public at least 72 hours to review major bills before a vote in Congress.
• Boehner: Dems Will "Have a Much Harder Time Passing All This Garbage" if Public Can Read the Bills
• Boehner on FOX: Give America 72 Hours to Read the Bills
• Call on Speaker Pelosi to Give America 72 Hours to Read the Bills
NOT ONE MORE DIME TO ACORN. Republicans are engaged in a multi-layered effort to cut off all taxpayer funding for ACORN and sever all its government ties, once and for all.
• Boehner Praises IRS for Severing Ties with ACORN
• Boehner Says the "Writing is on the Wall" for ACORN
• Not One More Dime to ACORN, Declares GOP
• Boehner to Introduce Legislation Cutting Off All Taxpayer Funding to ACORN
DEMOCRATS STILL PUSHING GOVERNMENT TAKEOVER. Democrats continue to push for a costly health care takeover, ignoring better solutions by Republicans that won't raise taxes, add to the deficit, limit treatment options, or create a massive government-run plan.
Post Office Bailout Not a Good Sign for Government-Run Health Care
• CBO• Director: Dems' Health Care Takeover Will Cut Medicare Advantage Benefits in Half
• Yes Mr. President, Forcing Americans to Spend Money is a "Tax"
• Medical Liability Reform Lowers Costs, Creates Jobs in Mississippi
GOVERNMENT SPENDING AND ECONOMIC RECOVERY. Americans are growing wearier of the jobs-killing, big spending Obama-Pelosi agenda.
• Biden Calls GOP Victory in 2010 "Doomsday" for Obama-Pelosi Agenda
• Gallup: 57 Percent of Americans Say "Government Is Doing Too Much"
• National Energy Tax Will Slow Economic Recovery, Not Climate Change
• Obama Administration: "Cap &Trade" Could Cost Families $1,761 Per Year
• Obama Backs Jobs-Killing Card Check Bill (Again)
• Boehner: President Failed to Provide "Clear Exit Strategy" from Washington Bailouts
• Republican Regulatory Reform Bill Will End the Bailouts, Protect Taxpayers
