Amedori Challenges Fellow Republican Candidates To Join Her Petition To Stop Reconciliation


FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE March 9, 2010

AMEDORI CHALLENGES FELLOW REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES TO JOIN HER PETITION TO STOP RECONCILIATION

(Westminster, MD) Today, Carmen Amedori, Republican candidate for United States Senate in Maryland, called upon her fellow Republican United States Senate candidates to join her online petition asking for Senator Barbara Mikulski to vote no on reconciliation for Obamacare.

“We need to present a united front on the most pressing issue confronting our state and country right now. And that issue is the forcing down our throats of health care reform. I ask my fellow Republican candidates to join with me on sending a message to the incumbent that she should vote no on reconciliation,” said Amedori.

Yesterday Amedori launched an online petition collecting names of people across the states who also want to encourage Mikulski to vote no on reconciliation. “I am pleased with the results so far, but we still need more people to join this effort. It will be close to impossible to turn the clock back if Obamacare is passed. Even with the House and Senate being controlled by Republicans in 2011, the President will still be able to veto any repeals. That’s why Marylanders need to have their voices heard now,” stated Amedori.

Reconciliation is not the method to pass health care reform. This parliamentary maneuver has never been used for such a sweeping piece of legislation,” said Amedori. “The President’s plan for health care reform is seriously flawed. That’s why no one elected Republican Senator will support the legislation.”

Reconciliation has been used 19 times since 1980. 12 of those times the procedure was used to pass omnibus budget bills that had an overwhelming support in the Senate. Only on 2 occasions the budget bills were controversial enough to lack bipartisan support.

“I hope that my fellow candidates will join my effort. This is one of the most important legislative fights in our lifetime. Our differences on other issues should be put aside to send the strongest message possible to the incumbent who is listens more to Harry Reid than the people of Maryland. It is time to put Maryland first. No on reconciliation,” said Amedori.

Amedori thinks that her fellow Republican candidates are not focused on the here and now with the circulation of the unity pledge. “We are facing a massive government takeover of health care and they are talking about unity after the Primary. Let’s be united on an issue that matters,” added Amedori.

AMEDORI: Launches Online Petition to Stop Reconciliation

(Westminster, MD) Today, Carmen Amedori, Republican candidate for United States Senate in Maryland, launched an online petition calling on United States Senator Barbara Mikulski to vote no on reconciliation for Obamacare. Please sign Carmen’s Petition by visiting http://www.amedoriforsenate.com/petition.php

“Reconciliation is not the method to pass health care reform. This parliamentary maneuver has never been used for such a sweeping piece of legislation,” said Amedori. “The President’s plan for health care reform is seriously flawed. That’s why no one elected Republican Senator will support the legislation.”

Reconciliation has been used 19 times since 1980. 12 of those times the procedure was used to pass omnibus budget bills that had an overwhelming support in the Senate. Only on 2 occasions the budget bills were controversial enough to lack bipartisan support.

“I am launching this online effort to send a message to our Senator that Marylanders don’t want Obamacare forced down our throats and that she should vote against reconciliation,” state Amedori. “A national mandate is not a way to make health care more affordable.”

People can join Carmen’s effort by visiting
www.amedoriforsenate.com or by friending Amedori For U.S. Senate on facebook.

Amedori believes that a health care reform package must include tort reform, associated health plans, rules that allow people to purchase health insurance across state lines, more emphasis on health savings accounts and a method for allowing people with pre-existing conditions to purchase insurance coverage.

Amedori is a former Maryland House Delegate where she served on the Judiciary Committee and quickly rose to the position of Assistant Minority Leader. She earned a distinguished reputation for being tough on crime, a strong advocate for property rights, and a champion for small business. In 2004, Governor Robert Ehrlich honored Amedori by appointing her to the Maryland Parole Commission where she served until last year.

Amedori is a graduate of Stevenson University. Before entering public life, she was a paralegal and journalist for the Baltimore Sun. She is the proud mother of two daughters.

Amedori believes that as the next United States Senator she can do a better job for the people of Maryland. She wants to Maryland First ahead of political partisanship. “It is time we had a Senator focused on results rather than political gamesmanship. As a former member of the House Delegates, I know how to make a difference. Barbara has had 24 years and now is the time for new leadership,” added Amedori.

AMEDORI: Health Care Reform Must Address Costs

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE February 25, 2010

(Westminster, MD) Today, Carmen Amedori, Republican candidate for United States Senate in Maryland, commented on President Obama’s bipartisan health care summit by stating that the plan must address costs in order to increase availability across the nation.

“It’s the costs! It’s the costs! It’s the costs! In a perfect world no one would ever get sick and everyone would have insurance just in case. But in the real world, skyrocketing costs are forcing Marylanders to make hard choices. By mandating people to get health insurance, you are not driving down the costs. Just look at what happened in Massachusetts when they mandated coverage but yet they did not address cost issues. Within the first two years, insurance premiums increased 50% and they are going up again this year. Their insurance premiums have increased faster than the rest of the nation,” said Amedori.

Amedori believes that a reform package must include tort reform, associated health plans, rules that allow people to purchase health insurance across state lines, and more emphasis on health savings accounts. Moreover, she believes if Congress could just agree on one reform it should be to allow people with pre-existing conditions to purchase insurance coverage.

Absent from today’s summit was Senator Barbara Mikulski. Only Congressman Steny Hoyer from Maryland was invited which has many people wondering how effective Mikulski is.

Amedori is a former Maryland House Delegate where she served on the Judiciary Committee and quickly rose to the position of Assistant Minority Leader. She earned a distinguished reputation for being tough on crime, a strong advocate for property rights, and a champion for small business. In 2004, Governor Robert Ehrlich honored Amedori by appointing her to the Maryland Parole Commission where she served until last year.

Maxine's View On Health Care Reform

Maxine's View On Health Care Reform:

Let me get this straight......we're trying to pass a health care plan written by a committee whose chairman says he doesn't understand it, passed by a Congress that hasn't read it but exempts themselves from it, to be signed by a president that also is exempt from it and hasn't read it and who smokes, with funding administered by a treasury chief who didn't pay his taxes, all to be overseen by a surgeon general who is obese, and financed by a country that's broke.

What the hell could possibly go wrong?

Historic 1857 quilt inspired by the politics and faith of its era

EAGLE ARCHIVE By Kevin Dayhoff: Historic 1857 quilt inspired by the politics and faith of its era

In a recent column I noted that one of the quilts in Nancy Gibson's presentation, "Pieces of the Past: An Overview of Carroll County Quilts," at the Historical Society of Carroll County on Jan. 19 was the 1857 Buckey eagle quilt. I've had a people ask me for more information about this historic quilt, so here goes:

This quilt is part of the HSCC's extensive textile collection, and was given to the society by Vivian Englar Barnes.

On Oct. 8, 1995, historian Jay Graybeal wrote about another lecture on quilts at the historical society, which took place that year.

Graybeal noted, "Because women traditionally provided the family's clothing and bedding, they tended to preserve textiles and pass them down to the next generation.

"For this reason most of the historical society's textile collection was donated by women."

According to Gibson, Margaret Buckey made the Buckey eagle quilt in 1857 when she was 20 years old. She made it a year before her marriage to Elhanan Englar, who was a farmer from New Windsor.

In 1995, this quilt and Buckey's sewing table were displayed at the Daughters of the American Revolution Museum, in Washington, Graybeal wrote.

Buckey "grew up in Frederick County a few miles across the county border from New Windsor and Union Bridge," and was a member of the family for which Buckeystown in Frederick County was named," noted Gibson during her talk -- which also celebrated the county's 173rd birthday.

"What makes this quilt unique is that it's possible that it was a political statement," said Gibson.

"Eagles are popular designs on Maryland quilts in the early 19th century," she said. "You see eagles on furniture, silver, ceramics, as well.

(And newspapers, too.)

"Remember that quilt makers got their designs from everyday objects around them. It was not until the third quarter of the 19th century that patterns were published nationally.

Gibson noted that the eagle may have been inspired by the anti-slavery or Know-Nothing Party, which was popular during the 1856 election.

"Events sponsored by this party were heavily advertised in the Carroll County newspapers and sometimes included an eagle similar to the one Margaret used on her quilt," she said.

Gibson said that according to Margaret Buckey's obituary, she was a member of the Brethren Church for 68 years. Elders of the church -- including her uncle, Daniel Saylor, leader of a congregation at Beaver Dam where Margaret had worshipped prior to her marriage -- were politically active, especially against slavery.

Margaret and her husband joined the Pipe Creek Brethren Church where they are both buried.

But they left us all the quilt -- another piece of the fabric of our community history.

The Daily Caller: Proposed Senate jobs bill includes health-care provisions

Proposed Senate jobs bill includes health-care provisions
http://kevindayhoff.blogspot.com/2010/02/daily-caller-proposed-senate-jobs-bill.html
Posted By Aleksandra Kulczuga On February 10, 2010 @ 2:50 pm In DC Exclusives, Politics, Sub4:Politics, US 12 Comments

The health-care bill may have stalled in Congress, but the draft of the $80 billion jobs bill that just emerged from the Senate contains a number of health provisions. As Majority Leader Harry Reid prepares to propose a final version of the bill before the end of the month, some experts are asking whether the jobs legislation is health-care reform by other means. The House passed its version of a $154 billion jobs bill in December.

Health-care provisions in the draft of the Senate jobs bill include: […]

Locals weigh in on health care reform at Cardin's town hall by Meg Tully

Locals weigh in at Cardin town hall by Tully

Locals weigh in on health care reform at Cardin's town hall

http://www.fredericknewspost.com/sections/news/display.htm?StoryID=93821

Originally published August 13, 2009 By Meg Tully News-Post Staff

HAGERSTOWN -- Sen. Benjamin L. Cardin slogged his way through a town hall meeting centered on health care Wednesday afternoon, as a boisterous crowd shouted back, clapped and interrupted him.

Frederick residents turned out for the chance to make opinions known at the town hall, hosted at nearby Hagerstown Community College.

Nationally, town hall meetings on health care have been drawing headlines because of the large crowds and heated debates.

"I am here today because I believe in town hall meetings," Cardin told the group. "I believe in your right to ask your questions."

Speaking to the media before the event, however, he objected to people disrupting such meetings.

"I just ask people to be respectful," he said. "People have strong views about health care. They want to get information, and town hall meetings allow them to get information."

Standing in the Battle Line
Chris Cavey
Occasionally in political life you have one of those “ah-ha” moments. Late Monday afternoon at Towson University was such a moment for me – and Sen. Ben Cardin, too.

Too Many Adventures and Then Some
Joan McIntyre
Let’s hope my daughters don't read this article. They hate when I talk about them. But, isn't that a mother’s prerogative in some twisted way. Don’t labor pains equate to the right to use your children for article material. Okay, so maybe that isn't an exact interpretation, but work with me here, please.

Free Speech was great while it lasted
Kevin E. Dayhoff
Maryland’s Democrat U. S. Senator Ben Cardin got quite an earful at a town hall meeting Monday night in Towson on healthcare reform. Although I choose not to attend, according to many published accounts, those who did go soundly jeered and booed him throughout the evening.

Of “Birthers” and “Blue Dogs”
Michael Kurtianyk
I love language. I especially like the etymology of words and phrases. Did you know, for example, that the “dog days” of summer actually relates to Sirius, the “dog star,” which rises and sets with the sun?

Poisonous Partisanship
Roy Meachum
The United States Supreme Court has a new associate justice. Despite GOP hard-core opposition, Sonia Sottomeyer was sworn in the day after the Senate approved her appointment, 68-31. On Thursday, the Senate passed the “refill” of “Cash for Clunkers,” 60-37. Republicans lost both times.

Cause, Effect, and Solution
Farrell Keough
We have seen this scenario played out before – in fact, the Holy Bible speaks to third generations not embracing the religion of their parents. In short, it is the values, traditions, and work ethic of our parents and grandparents being pushed aside for a more progressive vision.

Defining Activism
Richard B. Weldon Jr.
MoveOn.org, that bastion of liberal thinking, is now in the business of defining speech. They’ve always considered themselves better than everyone else, now they’re defining by just how much they are better.

Boring Politics
Roy Meachum
If the gods smile, as many as 20 percent may vote in next month’s Frederick City primary elections. Four registered voters will walk by every one that marches into the voting booth. Fellow columnist George Wenschhof puts the blame on the system that created Frederick’s stand-alone elections.

CARS Program’s Unintended Consequences
Joe Charlebois
On the surface the CARS program, better known as “Cash for Clunkers,” looks like a huge success. Traffic into American showrooms, according to reports, is at least double what it was previously. Sales of new vehicles are up substantially and on par with sales number prior to the downturn. So what could be wrong?

Wrong About What’s Right
Patricia A. Kelly
The latest brain child from our president, Barack Obama, is the last straw for me. And it isn’t likely to be the last “idea” whose time has come for this candidate who promised “Change we can believe in.”

Healthcare and The Pittsburgh Pirates
Tony Soltero
When I was younger, the Pittsburgh Pirates were a model baseball franchise, a team that contended almost every year and won its share of championships in the process. Thanks in large part to the Roberto Clemente connection, the Bucs were very popular in Puerto Rico, where I grew up.

Summer Music List
Michael Kurtianyk
Ah! The joys of summer! As the days get longer and I am busy with work, I love listening to music as I drive in the car and head out on the road. Of course, this is in between the Bob Miller and Blaine Young shows! So, herewith is my current summer music listening list, as found on my IPod.

R.I.P. – Dr. Ira Zepp
Kevin E. Dayhoff
Last Saturday word spread quickly throughout the greater Carroll County community that Rev. Dr. Ira Gilbert Zepp, Jr., professor emeritus of the Religious Studies department at McDaniel College, had died peacefully at his home. He was 79 years old.

Rainforest World Music Festival
Tom McLaughlin
Santubong, Sarawak, Malaysia – Shhhhhh! It’s a secret! Don’t tell anybody! I want to hoard this event for just my friends! I don’t want anymore people to come. As far as I am concerned, there were just enough people here a weekend or two ago.

“Uppity Negro” vs. “Racist Pig”
Roy Meachum
Any American who can see or hear knows exactly who are the “uppity negro” and the “racist pig.” That’s how each is described by radical elements in both camps. Their names may not be remembered. Their professions are: Harvard professor and Cambridge Police sergeant. The reality will probably offend more Henry Louis Gates, Jr., than James Crowley.

Motorcycle Touring – Part 3
Nick Diaz
Everyone needs to eat. On the road you, the touring motorcyclist, have two choices. You could buy food in a grocery store and prepare it yourself, or you can pay someone else to prepare the food. You cannot just go to the refrigerator and grab something, or drive to your favorite restaurant. While touring by motorcycle, you'll have to get food wherever you can.

Wait Times to see doctor may make you sick by Dan Thanh




Hat Tip: Bryan Sears

Thursday, June 4, 2009

Although the wait time for most of the physicians that I see is minimal, I could still really relate with Dan Thanh’s post:

I have to make an appointment to see a doctor soon. It's been about a year since my last visit, maybe longer, and I've been putting it off because A. I hate going to the doctor because I'm convinced they'll find something wrong with me, and B. I hate having to wait to see the doctor.

[…]

Apparently, things are only going to get worse. According to this
USA Today story, you could wait more than a month to see a specialist or a family doctor now. On average, "wait times have increased by 8.6 days per city. Boston had the longest wait, averaging 49.6 days, followed by Philadelphia with 27 and Los Angeles with 24.2. The shortest was Atlanta with an 11.2-day wait," according to a study by Merrit Hawkins and Associates, a consulting firm based in Texas.

In all cities among all the specialties,
the study found that the average wait time was 20.5 days. Holy Moly. I better put in for an appointment now since I might be waiting another year before I see a doctor.

[…]

… just wait and see how much more maddening it will get if the
Obama Administration manages to pass some sort of government-funded universal healthcare system.
