WASHINGTON — Senate Democratic leaders are looking ahead to a crucial test vote on health care amid indications the rank-and-file will stand together Saturday to give them the support they need.
Dick Durbin of Illinois, the No. 2 Senate Democrat, said today that leaders weren’t assuming anything and were working to bring the caucus together ahead of Saturday’s vote to begin debate on their health overhaul bill.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it!
