Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA) is warning that the "nuclear option" is being considered by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid to pass ObamaCare...
This means only 50 votes would be needed to pass a healthcare takeover bill that would tax Americans to the tune of $500 billion, while gutting Medicare $464 billion.
Grassley, and others believe the current plan on the table would lead to "rationed care, shuttered hospitals, overburdened doctors and waste."
No doubt feeling the pressure to punch ObamaCare through before Christmas, Reid is now demanding lawmakers work on Sunday...
Reid's quick-step signals a shift for Grassfire.
We can't wait to rally 750,000 citizen signers before hand- delivering your petitions to key Senate offices.
That's why we've literally started the countdown clock-- counting down to midnight Wednesday night as potentially the last opportunity for grassroots citizens to have their petition opposing ObamaCare hand-delivered before the vote!
674,346 citizens have already signed our petition-- meaning we are roughly 75,000 petitions shy of our three-quarters -of-a-million goal.
Earlier this week, we were more than 110,000 from our goal!
So your efforts are paying off.
But we need to do more. That's why I'm urging EVERY member of our team who has already signed our petition to forward this alert to 35-40 friends urging them to sign the petition and have it HAND-DELIVERED to their Senators starting next Thursday.
Go here now to sign:

Because of such an overwhelming amount of petitions, we had to give our special courier up to three days to deliver our petitions... But EVERY petition will be delivered---at a critical time when Reid and his cronies are using whatever trick they can to secure support for this horrifying bill...
Like Reid, Grassfire Nation has started our own countdown clock to midnight Wednesday.
Your efforts right now are critical to our success. We are depending on our amazing team to help us reach our goal to maximize our impact starting next week!
Thanks in advance for taking action.

P.S. We're doing all we can to rally critically needed extra support for our petition--including the launching of an actual countdown clock on Drudge!

I see the Arlington bridge festooned with pikes impaled on which are the severed rat heads
I signed the petition but think Dingy Harry is posturing for the cameras.
As long as it has a public option, he doesn’t have the votes.
Park your cars within 15 miles of the Capitol Building and start walking because IT WILL BE A BIG TRAFFIC JAM WHEN WE ALL GET THERE. Let the real protests begin.
Thanks to all who sign and/or propagate the message.
>>Let them do the nuclear option. They will all die from the radiation poisoning that results from that stupid decision.
Or lead poisoning.
Thanks again to all who took part
Total signers: 754,110
Total signers: 795,479
After having met the goal, they set the sights higher, to 850,000.
They currently have “Total signers: 818,885”

If nothing else, those who sign the petition will realize how little they care for what we want. It will motivate that many more of us to throw the bums out.
I have just confirmed that our historic hand-delivery of
petitions opposing ObamaCare is currently underway!
Since our countdown clock expired on this delivery, our team
has been working well into the night to ensure that your
petition and those of 868,105 citizens are each hand-
delivered to their two Senators.
That means, in total we have printed more than 1.73
million petitions opposing ObamaCare!
Percy, let me be very clear... this incredible
grassroots initiative taking place during such a tenuous
time in our nation's history would not be happening if
not for the efforts of our amazing Grassfire Nation team.
Your efforts this past week have been nothing short of
miraculous. In fact, at one point, more than 2,400
citizens per hour were rushing to sign our petition!
This effort is unprecedented, and clearly demonstrates
that the American people do not want any part of
socialized health care.
We don't want the skyrocketing expenses, the health care
rationing... and most importantly the loss of freedom and
control to decide what kind of medical care is best for
our families and ourselves.
That's why the timing of this petition delivery — above
all others.
Without question these 868,105 petitions will overwhelm
Senate offices, and cause many lawmakers to think long
and hard about their decision to support ObamaCare.
And again, it wouldn't have been possible without you!
+ + 1,000,000 Before Christmas!
Perhaps because of the Christmas Season I'm feeling
especially hopeful, but I told my staff yesterday that
all I wanted for Christmas was 1,000,000 petitions
opposing ObamaCare.
Such a number was once just a dream — but not any longer.
Imagine the impact of having roughly 1 in 300 citizens be
represented by our petition!
Building on the incredible momentum we currently have,
help lead the charge to rally the additional 130,000
citizens needed.
Senate Majority Leader Reid has made it his personal goal
to vote on ObamaCare before Christmas, and I'd like to
return to Capitol Hill with 1,000,000 petitions opposing
his efforts BEFORE the vote!
