ObamaCare Vote Tuesday; Stealth Plan Exposed

We just learned that the Senate Finance Committee will vote on its sketchy version of ObamaCare on Tuesday.
It's all part of the Reid/Pelosi/Obama plan to ram through a final healthcare bill that was written behind closed doors with little or no public debate.
But the key first step is getting ObamaCare passed through the Finance Committee on Tuesday. If Chairman Baucus fails on Tuesday, it would be a serious blow to the Democrats' stealth plan. Here's why...
+ + The Stealth Plan to pass ObamaCare
Right now, Baucus is trying to use the Congressional Budget Office report on his bill to get enough Senators on board for passage on Tuesday.
This is key because once two committees pass a bill, Harry Reid can use his procedural power to merge the bills and move his revised version (the one Obama and the Democrats really want) directly to the Senate floor.
Heritage Foundation is reporting that Reid will replace the text of an existing unrelated bill with his version of ObamaCare and force a floor vote. Since his version will be crafted behind closed doors, the public will have little or no time to review before a Senate floor vote!
Then, Nancy Pelosi would take the same bill back to the House, pass it quickly and send it to Obama. With blitzkrieg speed we will have ObamaCare passed and signed into law!
But there's one catch...
The Left must get the bill through the Finance Committee on Tuesday.

+ + Resources for you
I want YOU to have the same information that Senators have.
Here's a link so you can download the CBO "preliminary analysis" that Baucus is manipulating for his purposes. Once you look at it you'll realize that the Democrats are trying to hide the fact that ObamaCare expands government and increases taxes by HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS OF DOLLARS.
