Sunday talk show tip sheet
By: Andy Barr
After a long week on the trail getting berated in town halls across their states, some of the most targeted Democratic lawmakers in the health care debate come to the Sunday talk shows.
Sen. Arlen Specter (D-Pa.), who found himself in the middle of one of the week’s more memorable shout fests, is on ABC’s “This Week,” where White House correspondent Jake Tapper is filling in for George Stephanopoulos. Tapper also gets Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) and Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius.
Sebelius also appears on CNN’s “State of the Union” to talk through President Barack Obama’s health care proposals, as well as Sen. John Barrasso (R-Wyo.) and Reps. Tom Price (R-Ga.) and Eddie Bernice Johnson (D-Texas). Later on CNN, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton reflects on her recent trip to Africa with “GPS” host Fareed Zakaria.
"Fox News Sunday" gets Sen. Kent Conrad (D-N.D.), Sen. Richard Shelby (R- Ala.) and James Rohack, president of the American Medical Association, to debate health care.
NBC’s “Meet the Press” is also health care focused, with Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.), one of the Obama administration’s most vocal critics, and former House Majority Leader Dick Armey (R-Texas).
White House press secretary Robert Gibbs takes on the president’s vocal critics in an interview on CBS’s “Face the Nation,” followed by former Sen. Chuck Hagel (R-Neb.) and former Rep. Lee Hamilton (D-Ind.).
And on C-SPAN's "Newsmakers," Karen Ignagni, president and CEO of America’s Health Insurance Plans, takes questions from The Washington Times’ Jennifer Haberkorn and The Washington Post’s Ezra Klein.
Enjoy!

Republican Principles:
I BELIEVE the strength of our nation lies with the individual and that each person’s dignity, freedom, ability and responsibility must be honored.
I BELIEVE in equal rights, equal justice and equal opportunity for all, regardless of race, creed, sex, age or disability.
I BELIEVE free enterprise and encouraging individual initiative have brought this nation opportunity, economic growth and prosperity.
I BELIEVE government must practice fiscal responsibility and allow individuals to keep more of the money they earn.
I BELIEVE the proper role of government is to provide for the people only those critical functions that cannot be performed by individuals or private organizations, and that the best government is that which governs least.
I BELIEVE the most effective, responsible and responsive government is government closest to the people.
I BELIEVE Americans must retain the principles that have made us strong while developing new and innovative ideas to meet the challenges of changing times.
I BELIEVE Americans value and should preserve our national strength and pride while working to extend peace, freedom and human rights throughout the world.
FINALLY, I believe the Republican Party is the best vehicle for translating these ideals into positive and successful principles of government.

Facing Obama's Challenges!
As we face the challenges posed by Obama’s radical restructuring of the American economy, we must take steps both on the level of public policy and in our own personal finances to meet them.
The public policy actions are clear:
1. Oppose Obama’s health care proposals before they destroy our medical care.
2. Be vigilant so as to spot and out his backdoor attempts to take over the financial sector.
3. Battle against the internationalization of regulation and foreign control over our business sector.
4. Fight against Obama’s attempts to cook the census, muzzle talk radio, and force unionization of the work force, all efforts to reshape our political landscape and move it to the left.
