I want to extend my personal congratulations to Scott Brown for his amazing victory in the Massachusetts Senate special election. His win sends a strong message to the Obama Administration and to the Democrats in Congress. The people of Massachusetts were paying attention and the people of America are too.
This election was a referendum on the health care bill drafted in secret by President Obama and the Democratic leaders in Congress. The people of Massachusetts, one of only two states to have health care legislation in place, are aware of the failures of their state's health care plan. They know, as do the people of Tennessee, that government run health care will not work. Let's hope that the Democrats in Washington finally get the message. I know that Scott will be a powerful voice for the people of Massachusetts, making sure that their message is heard.

Sign Our Petition To President Obama
Marsha Blackburn
Response to our online petition has been terrific! If you haven’t already, I hope you will take a few minutes now and sign our Petition: “ Tell The President: Republicans Are the Party of K-N-O-W.” Our Republican Party is not backing down from the simple fact that the American people deserve to be informed and deserve to KNOW what is in the legislation that the Obama Administration is trying to push through Congress. We simply will not tolerate back room deals and legislation written behind closed doors with no discussion and consideration of what the American people want. Everyone should be able to read and discuss the new health care proposals. I want the President and Speaker Pelosi to know that you stand with me in this fight. Please sign the petition here.

On Sunday I had the opportunity to appear on Face The Nation. I wanted to relate to you some of my thoughts from that appearance. It was interesting to listen to Democrat Senator Kent Conrad state once again that if Democrats in the Senate move forward with using reconciliation to pass their bill in the Senate, they will be severely limited in the scope of the legislation that they can pass.February 2010

Obamacare: What We K-N-O-W
Marsha Blackburn
Yesterday, throughout the health care summit, Americans saw that Republicans are not the party of "no" but the party of K-N-O-W. We want the American people to KNOW what’s in these bills and how each line will affect them and their families. As we try and take back Congress this Fall, being the Party of KNOW will be important.Feb 15 2010
2/15/10 - Game On Again!!
Marsha Blackburn
I think it is almost a badge of honor to be awarded "the worst person in the world" according to ultra liberal Keith Olbermann. Although, sometimes it is difficult to follow his rant, he apparently objected to my suggestion to the President that younger people should be permitted to privatize their Social Security accounts.Feb 09 2010
2/9/10 - What President Should Have Said
Marsha Blackburn
Imagine the political discourse if President Obama had said these words last month:"My fellow Americans, the state of our Union is imperiled by unsustainable debt fed by spending from both parties for a political generation. It erodes the contract we have with our constituents through important entitlement programs.

Ronald Reagan evokes many memories for each of us. As his 99th birthday approaches I remember a President who had such faith in America. He always believed in the goodness of the American people and our way of life.Feb 01 2010

On Friday, President Obama was invited to speak at our House Republican conference. The invitation was extended by Republican leadership in an attempt to engage the President in an open dialogue about his policies. I had the opportunity to ask him a question about health care reform.January 2010
