Obama Care

Floor Speech

Mr. COLE. Madam Speaker, my Dad always told me, ``Your friends are the people who tell you what you need to know, not what you want to hear.''

In August, the American people flooded town hall meetings and told their representatives to vote ``no'' on Obama care. The Speaker called them extremists. In November, voters in Virginia and New Jersey elected Republican governors in States President Obama had carried one year earlier. The White House said it was due to local issues. And in January, the voters of Massachusetts elected a Republican to the United States Senate for the first time in 38 years. Senate Democrats said it was because they had nominated a poor candidate.

As we approach the vote on Obama care, I urge my colleagues on the other side of the aisle to ignore the Speaker, ignore the President, and ignore the Democrats in the Senate. Just listen to your friends, the voters of America, who oppose this $1 trillion, 2,700 page health care monstrosity, and then vote ``no.'' In November, you will be glad you did.

END
