STATES MAY HOLD TAX REFUNDS FOR MONTHS -- When you owe the government money, you typically get 30 days to pay. When the government owes you money, they pay you when they feel like it.

NANCY PELOSI:We have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it”.

DOES OBAMACARE COVER ABORTION? -- Back in August, we were told it is a “fabrication” that Obamacare forces taxpayers to pay for abortions. But according to Congressman Bart Stupak, a pro-life Democrat, abortion coverage will be a central feature of Obamacare.

VOTING ON BILLS IS SOOOOO OLD FASHIONED -- Forget everything you learned in Civics class about “How a Bill Becomes a Law.” The Democrats lack the votes they need to pass Obamacare. So now they are considering a new rule that will allow them to pass the bill without a vote.

OUT OF TOUCH -- The DFL's primary mission in 2010 is to make sure that, unlike you, government never has to do without. DFL Senator Tom Baak wants the state sales tax to be applied to clothing.

ABUSE OF POWER -- If Dems think political passions are bitter now, just wait until they pass ObamaCare. Hugh Hewitt says: Let a million amendments bloom. Phone/contact list for target House Dems is here.

BARACK OBAMA'S HOME STATE -- This is what happens when Democrats are in control. The state of Illinois is disintegrating. They have a $13 billion deficit in a $26 billion budget.

SWOONING OVER PAUL RYAN -- Watch Wisconsin Representative Paul Ryan take Obama to school over health care.

IT'S ABOUT FREEDOM -- A new CNN poll says that 56 percent of Americans feel that the Federal Government has grown so large and powerful that it poses an immediate threat to their freedoms. Americans voted for change and all they got was bigger government.

IT'S ABOUT JOBS -- Here is a set of very depressing statistics from the New York Times about how many people are among the discouraged unemployed. Just ponder this chart:
IT'S ABOUT SPENDING -- Across the nation, people are expressing outrage about out-of-control government spending. Government is too big, takes on too many responsibilities, and the spending is unsustainable. Daniel Henninger provides this dramatic chart:
