Representative Bob Goodlatte points out the obvious — Pelosi isn’t reducing costs with her rush job, she’s just redirecting cost back on the industry and the taxpayer. Goodlatte also talks up the Republican alternative, which cuts costs and reforms the system rather than merely nationalizing it. Very glad to see Goodlatte’s staff engaging the blogosphere, [...]

"Keep up the pressure." That, basically, was the message today from Rep. Bob Goodlatte (R-6th CD) concerning the nationalized health care bill currently before the House of Representatives in Washington. Keep calling, emailing, faxing, showing up in offices ... keep speaking out. Every day the bill can be put off is good. Nancy Pelosi plans to put it to a vote on Friday or Saturday with an...

The Republican bill created twice as many jobs--at half the cost of the Democratic legislation. "We're...
