The "summit" is a worthless joke, but why not bring the heat?....
(The Hill)- House Republican Leader John Boehner (Ohio) on Wednesday announced the members of his conference who will attend the bipartisan White House healthcare summit Thursday.
The list includes House GOP leaders, ranking members of key committees and lawmakers who have been outspoken against the Democrats' healthcare bill throughout much of the debate:
* Republican Leader John Boehner
* Republican Whip Eric Cantor (Va.)
* Energy and Commerce Committee ranking Republican Joe Barton (Texas)
* Ways and Means Committee ranking Republican Dave Camp (Mich.)
* Education and Labor Committee ranking Republican John Kline (Minn.)
* Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.), an Energy and Commerce member
* Rep. Charles Boustany Jr.(R-La.) — a heart surgeon who delivered the GOP's rebuttal to President Barack Obama's address on healthcare last year.
* Rep. Peter Roskam (R-Ill.), a lawmaker who was close with Obama during their time in the Illinois state Senate.
* Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.), a Republican policy bona fide and ranking member of the Budget Committee.Boehner said this afternoon that Republicans plan use the summit to "point out what we believe the flaws are" in the president's plan."

Wingnut, I'd contribute to have Dr. Jack Kevorkian on the Obama side of things. Last I heard, he's alive and well, outside of jail, where he was released on a 'hardship' commutation of his sentence, as he was 'dying'.
Like almost two years ago?
LOVE Jennifer Granholm (coming soon, to a fed position Near YOU!!!)

Sent this to Cantor yesterday.
Eric.
Tomorrow you and the Republicans have a chance to stand up to Obama and publicly deny this heath care atrocity.
What we American Conservatives would love to see is the whole GOP band together to take on Obama. Pelosi and the rest of the Progressive representatives.
To go head to head and demand that they stop this Socialist take over of our economy and pledge to everything with in your legislative and constitutional power to halt this monstrosity of a bill and to bring to head the Marxist values of Obama administration. Let them know America will not seat idly by and allow them to continue your communist takeover off our Wonderful country.
Eric the American People need the GOP to man up and do what we have entrusted in you to do. To stop any and treasonous attempts
To fundamentally transform American into a socialist 3rd world country.
Please do not let this chance to confront Obama about his actions over this past year slip past unaccounted for.
We are watching, we are waiting for one of you just one to stand up as Joe Wilson did and say Mister President “You Lie”
Stop politicking it’s not working poll rules for radicals out and use it against them
STAND UP DAMNIT AND TELL THESE TRAITORS THEY HAVE BE FOUND OUT AND WILL BE PUNISHED.
Eric we the people are on the verge of a revolution one Obama desperately awaits.
He wants to install Marshall Law and declare himself president for life.
God is you all so blind that you cannot see what we are crying out for.
Do you too feel that your better suited to tell us what we need and how we feel then we ourselves are?
Eric I beg you meet with your fellow congressmen .Go in with a Hell you will Mr. President attitude when back our hearts and minds.
And for the love of God put a stop to Steele’s jet setting Pelosi Esq. ways.
We do not approve. Stop him; he makes you al look like a bunch of Asses.
Eric, you have a chance to take back both house’s we are ready to give them to you but you have to prove to us you are worthy.
Stand up; stand up to Obama in front of CSPAN and the world tomorrow.
Show us we really do have a voice in government and Bitch slap the progressives back to the dark ages.
