MoveOn: House Could Pass Trojan Horse Bill Without Conference Committee
Statement of MoveOn.org Washington Director Ben Wikler:
“The Senate today is poised to consider health care repeal legislation that will take away care from 16 million people, raise premiums by 20 percent or more, destabilize the insurance markets and our economy, and de-fund Planned Parenthood.
“Many in the media and elsewhere are mistakenly treating this bill as a procedural vote -- an effort to simply to advance the process to a conference committee, in which the substance is irrelevant. In truth, if this bill passes the Senate, the House could simply pass the same bill. Senators who vote for this repeal legislation are endorsing its consequences, and will be held responsible.
“Of course, if the bill does end up in a conference committee, it is likely to get even worse, with the addition of massive Medicaid cuts. But that’s a big if, as the House may bypass that process altogether.
“A vote on a Trojan Horse bill is not a process vote. It cannot be viewed as another procedural prelude in a flurry of rhetorical grandstanding. The substance of the bill matters. Today’s vote must be called what it is -- an effort to strip care from millions and make health care worse for everyone, and a bill that could easily become law without alteration. MoveOn members are committed to holding every senator who votes for a such a bill accountable at the ballot box, regardless of whether the bill fails in the Senate, advances to conference committee, or -- as is entirely possible if it passes the Senate -- is rubber stamped by the House and sent to the president’s desk.”

Amy Sela announces release of ‘Shifting Focus’
NEW YORK – Amy Sela’s “Shifting Focus” (published by AuthorHouse) contains multiple stories from parents and teachers that explain their methods in dealing with children disabilities. Sela’s end goal is to change the term "children with disabilities" to "children with abilities."
“Shifting Focus” connects the pieces of the puzzle that may help parents and teachers reach the potential that children with abilities have. This book will impact society by teaching them things that they can do with their child or students, that can change the way they look at disabilities.
“Most disabilities are man-made. Mainly with the way we test our students and children. Children with abilities can learn, if we teach them in the way they can process new information. Tapping into their interests is the key to their success,” the author tells.
The main reason why Sela wrote this book is to ignite hope. She wants parents and teachers to really take good care of the child and turn his or her interests into goals that will make that child successful.
