Key vote on socialized health care in next 24 hours!
Email

Posted on 07/17/2009 3:24:26 AM PDT by Man50D

We have just been informed that a crucial vote on socialized health care could take place in a key House committee in the next 24 hours or at the latest by next Tuesday.

And the breaking news is that one Democratic Congressman on this committee -- Rep. Mike Ross -- thinks he has the votes to "stop" Obama's plan to socialize our healthcare system!

That's why I have just directed our team to focus our Fax Fireon the key members of the House Energy and Commerce committee where this battle is taking place.

Again, this key vote that could "stop" socialized health care could happen in the next 24 hours.

Please go here right now to send your faxes opposing socialized health care to key members of this House committee along with your two Senators and Representative:

But if you prefer to send them on your own, we've made it easy for you to download the key targets as well as the fax letters by clicking here:

+ + Cost of ObamaCare continues to soar

Also today, the Director of the Congressional Budget Office told Congress that the Democrats' health care plan "significantly expands the federal responsibility for health-care costs"and will actually cause costs to soar!

This comes just two days after the CBO released a report onthe House health care plan, saying that it would add morethan $1 trillion to the national debt!

That means more taxes and more deficits on top of the crushing burden of taxes and deficits that is currently strangling our struggling economy!

Go here to send your faxes and say "NO!" to ObamaCare:

http://www.grassfire.net/r.asp?U=20220&CID=122&RID=21450912

+ + Your petitions... Delivered!

Also, I am thrilled to announce that even as I write, your health care petition is being delivered to Capital Hill--to some of the key players in this boiling debate!

Three sets of petitions that include the names of 146,063 citizens are being delivered to Evan Bayh, the de-facto leader of the "Blue dog Senators," Joe Liebermann, a high-ranking independent and Max Baucus, chairman of the Senate finance committee.

That's right... 146,063 petitions in just one week's time!

Who would have thought that less than a week ago we would bein a position to deliver petitions so quickly. This is due to Grassfire team members like you who took fast action!

++ President Obama Turns Loose His Bulldog

Despite overwhelming citizen opposition, Obama is pressing to pass ObamaCare before the August recess. To help him achieve his socialist grab, he's put his bulldog Rahm Immanuel on the case-to no doubt pressure those lawmakers who are wavering in their support!

That's why our response has to be blistering!

We need to make certain our voice is heard--in the halls, backroom offices and on the streets of Capitol Hill.

That's why I'm asking you to take action today...

Send your faxes here:

http://www.grassfire.net/r.asp?U=20221&CID=122&RID=21450912

And alert your friends by forwarding this message to them. Thanks again for all you are doing.

Steve Elliott, President Grassfire.org

P.S. If you've had any doubts as to the convoluted nature of the ObamaCare plan, please take a look at an illustrated chart. However, we must warn you, viewing this chart will make your eyes burn with anger!

Excellent information. Will make some calls later today and do whatever else I can to get the word out.

My challenge is for EVERY concerned FREEPER to DO ONE THING today to fight the Zerocare disaster and the Cap and Trade disaster - fight while we can still fight.

Read the articles just posted today - on FR - which are revealing more of the facts that the Dems who are rushing this healthcare wrecker through Congress do not want their constituents to know.

Pass the information gleaned from these articles to at least one if not many others today.

Call and write local news stations.

Blog on their news websites.

get the facts out in as many creative ways as possible

Call local businesses.

Call friends, relatives, others you know.

DON’T JUST SIT THERE AND TYPE ON A KEYBOARD - GET ACTIVE - TODAY!

That's not a foregone conclusion. Instead of having a defeatist attitude and letting the socialists take your freedoms and destroy your life, why don't you actually get involved. You have nothing to lose by contacting them.

I am so disgusted with the can't do attitude by some. If George Washington had that same attitude when considering crossing the Delaware our nation never would have existed.

It is easy to become discouraged. They have the votes!

However, as you say, we cannot give up. The costs are too high.

They have all the money and all the arm twisting goons they can find to put pressure on any Dems who want to vote against the twin disasters - Zerocare and Cap and Tax.

But 81% of Americans ARE SATISFIED WITH THEIR HEALTHCARE as it is.

Our job is to FIND WAYS TO PUBLICIZE the actual facts about this nighmare legislation since the presstitutes are not going to do their job and get the word out.

We “little people” have to be creative, find ways to get the word out to just one person today - hopefully to many more - and to make the calls, write the letters, to local news media, to the Congress, to businesses, to any elderly we know who are going to be hurt FIRST and FOREMOST by this bill.

It is very discouraging.....but we cannot just roll over and let them take away our very lives through rationed healthcare which will not only kill many in this country but will destroy us economically (when put with cap and tax).
