http://gopleader.gov Appearing on Fox News' America's Newsroom with Bill Hemmer and Megyn Kelly, House Republican Leader John Boehner (R-OH) discussed a effort underway by Republicans and rank-and-file Democrats in Congress to force Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) to post all major bills online for at least 72 hours before a House vote to ensure that the American people and their elected representatives can review them. The effort is being led by Reps. Greg Walden (R-OR), Brian Baird (D-WA), and John Culberson (R-TX). More than 160 Members of Congress have already signed onto a Walden-authored petition that would force Speaker Pelosi to allow a vote on a House rules change requiring a 72-hour review period. He also touched on the Democrats proposed government takeover of health care and media reports suggesting that Speaker Pelosi plans to bring up a House bill that is more liberal, more costly, with more government involvement than ever before.

  • Check out the September Kaiser Health Tracking Poll.

    CNN just did a story about the six or so Democrats that voted against the reform bill and found out that they have receiver millions from HC insurance lobbyist. These Dem's days are numbered and they will be exposed. More and more Americans are realizing we need to pass this reform. One out of every $3 goes to insurance companies and this money could be spent on health care. Don't be duped by the ads made by profiteers of the current system.

  • Republicans are in a fight for survival. They need to convince their constituency that the government cant be trusted to do anything good, and that we need more tax cuts for the rich to solve are problems. When the Democrats pass health insurance reform the repukes will have mud on their faces and their party will continue to deteriorate.

  • at least the host is cute

  • John Boehner is just a two face BS artist that does not give the American people the truth if he does not think that health care does not needs to be reformed he does not have a clue about the real world many when he has the best healthcare that the taxpayers pay for him why should he give a darn about us. And Fox news is just a bunch of suck ups to the Republicans.

  • @gilsbachmillworks

    Fox News is THE MOST TRUSTWORTHY news organization. Fox is the best because it is the most honest and most reliable and most objective and most trustworthy of all major American news organization.

    The reason leftists PRETEND that they can dismiss Fox is because Fox tells the TRUTH that leftists want to silence. Leftists must have endless propaganda and unchallenged lies or people will wisely reject left-wing tyranny.

  • Facts or it didn't happen.
