Take back congress

We need to take back congress in 2010. Every seat in the House is up for election so there is much opportunity there. Just 36 seats are up in the senate, so we need to focus more on each seat there. Those seats currently are split even between the two parties as shown in the following list. So we need to reelect 18 republicans and defeat 18 democrats.

Republican:

  1. Alabama Richard Shelby
  2. Alaska Lisa Murkowski
  3. Arizona John McCain
  4. Florida George LeMieux
  5. Georgia Johnny Isakson
  6. Idaho Mike Crapo
  7. Iowa Chuck Grassley
  8. Kansas Sam Brownback
  9. Kentucky Jim Bunning
  10. Louisiana David Vitter
  11. Missouri Kit Bond
  12. New Hampshire Judd Gregg
  13. North Carolina Richard Burr
  14. Ohio George Voinovich
  15. Oklahoma Tom Coburn
  16. South Carolina Jim DeMint
  17. South Dakota John Thune
  18. Utah Bob Bennett

Democrat:

  1. Arkansas Blanche Lincoln
  2. California Barbara Boxer
  3. Colorado Michael Bennet
  4. Connecticut Chris Dodd
  5. Delaware Ted Kaufman
  6. Hawaii Daniel Inouye
  7. Indiana Evan Bayh
  8. Illinois Roland Burris
  9. Maryland Barbara Mikulski
  10. Nevada Harry Reid
  11. New York Chuck Schumer
  12. New York Kirsten Gillibrand
  13. North Dakota Byron Dorgan
  14. Oregon Ron Wyden
  15. Pennsylvania Arlen Specter
  16. Vermont Patrick Leahy
  17. Washington Patty Murray
  18. Wisconsin Russ Feingold
Lawsuits against Obamacare
  1. Liberty Counsel – no constitutional authority to force individuals to buy and companies to sell insurance.
  2. Thomas More Law Center - no constitutional authority to force individuals to buy insurance nor force Americans who oppose abortions to fund them in violation of their fundamental rights of conscience and the free exercise of religion.
  3. Florida attorney general McCollum – the bill penalizes citizens that don't buy insurance and forces states to pay huge increases for Medicaid. Attorney generals from nine other states, Alabama, Nebraska, North Dakota, Pennsylvania, Oklahoma, South Carolina, North Dakota, South Dakota, Texas, Nebraska, Utah, Virginia and Washington, are filing similar lawsuits, many cite the 10th Amendment.
