In trying to obtain 60 votes to invoke cloture on the Senate health care bill (H.R.3590), Democrat leadership in the Senate has agreed to remove the public option and any expanded government insurance coverage from the bill. This move has put Nebraska Senator Ben Nelson, who will not vote for the health care bill with the current abortion-funding provisions, as the possible deciding vote. According to Michael Goldfarb of "The Weekly Standard", a Senate aide reported that the White House is threatening to put Nebraska's Offutt Air Force Base on the BRAC (Base Realignment and Closure) list if Senator Nelson doesn't fall in line. The closing of this base, the home of the U.S. Strategic Command, would be a big economic hardship to Nebraska. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (Nevada) is currently working with Senator Bob Casey (Pennsylvania) to come up with abortion language that Senator Nelson and pro-abortion Senators will both accept. Please continue to pray for Senator Nelson as the pressure on him to fall in line with his party intensifies.
Acts 5:29--Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men. (KJV)
May God have mercy on our nation.
