Sen. Jim DeMint (R-SC) released a statement today, celebrating the delay of a vote on health care reform until after the August recess. Key paragraph:

“I am very pleased my Democrat colleagues have now rejected the President’s strategy to force through a bad bill before anyone has had a chance to even read it,” said Senator DeMint. “Americans can win this debate but they are going to have to continue speaking out. They know the promises the President has made do not match up with the policies he is pushing. Over the August break, they need to connect with their Congressmen and Senators and let know that Washington shouldn’t make their families’ health care decisions.”
