Tonight's vote pits Congress against the voters

This is a sad night. 219 Democrats in the U.S. House put blind adherence to a radical government-first ideology ahead of the wishes of the American people. We will be less free tomorrow than we are today. Bureaucrats and politicians will stand between patients and doctors. And our health care will now be permanently politicized, subject to the whim of our often out of touch political class.

At least I know that we did everything we could. Every AFP activist put his or her heart and soul into this fight, and we stopped this steamroller for a year. In the end, they just didn't care. They were going to vote for it no matter what the people wanted.

Thank you everyone. We fought the good fight and we will see this through November and beyond, in the fight for real health reform that reverses this disaster and moves us toward real reform that gives us more choices and more control.

I wish I could say we can rest now, but we can't. Even if this partisan display blows up the Congress for the rest of the year. As our www.ObamaChart.com shows, this administration is pushing its extreme agenda on all fronts.
