Tea Party Support ( http://teapartysupport.com ) and the Social Security Institute ( http://socialsecurityinstitute.com ) joined forces yesterday to blast out a million-and-a-half email messages asking people to demand that Republican Senators stop assisting Harry Reid to ram ObamaCare and the Reid health bill through the Senate by year’s end. The email campaign has generated more than 25,000 letters and emails to Capitol Hill so far. Tea Party Support President Matthew Perdue said, “Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is attempting to shove “Health Care Reform” down the country’s throat. He is trying to “fast track” this 2,074 page government takeover of our health care system.” SSI President Lawrence A. Hunter said, “The campaign continues today, and we won’t stop until Republicans get the message: ‘Don’t Put Christmas Vacation Ahead of Your Country.’” Washington, DC (PRWEB) December 8, 2009 -- Tea Party Support ( http://teapartysupport.com ) and the Social Security Institute ( http://socialsecurityinstitute.com ) joined forces yesterday to blast out a million-and-a-half email messages asking people to demand that Republican Senators stop assisting Harry Reid to ram ObamaCare and the Reid health bill through the Senate by year’s end. The email campaign has generated more than 25,000 letters and emails to Capitol Hill so far. Tea Party Support President Matthew Perdue said, “Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is attempting to shove “Health Care Reform” down the country’s throat. He is trying to “fast track” this 2,074 page government takeover of our health care system.” SSI President Lawrence A. Hunter said, “The campaign continues today, and we won’t stop until Republicans get the message: ‘Don’t Put Christmas Vacation Ahead of Your Country.’” The email message said, in part: ----------------------------------------------------------------- “Shame on Republican Senators! “They are paving the way for ObamaCare to be enacted into law this year because they want to go on Christmas Vacation. I know it sounds unbelievable that REPUBLICANS are the ones who will be responsible for a government takeover of healthcare but that is the sad and outrageous truth. “Our Capitol-Hill operatives working out of the newly organized Tea Party Cloakroom© have learned that the Senate Republican Leadership is working hand-in-glove behind the scenes with the Democratic Leadership to move one amendment after another through the Senate without adequate time for debate and deliberation. In exchange for this collaboration with the enemy, the Democratic Leadership is assuring Republicans they will be allowed to offer their own ‘message amendments’ and that Republicans will not be forced to work long hours through the night during this holiday season. “Republican Senator Jon Kyl let the cat out of the bag on Bill Bennett’s radio show last week. When guest host Rick Santorum asked Kyl, ‘What is your strategy, to the extent you can share it,’ Kyl said, ‘Our strategy is not actually to delay…Our strategy is to have a lot of good amendments and highlight the problems in the bill. It is not our strategy to somehow slow things down.’ “The Republican Senators have been protesting vehemently in the media about how much they oppose ObamaCare and the Reid Health bill, and despite their constant reassurances to grassroots activists that they are doing everything humanly possible to defeat the bill, Republicans in fact are quietly stepping aside and allowing the ObamaCare Express to move forward. The bill is loaded down with the Harry Reid language and tons of amendments that will barrel through the U.S. Senate, all so senate Republicans can go home for Christmas Vacation without delay and not have to work long hours in the meantime. “Don’t Let Republican Senators Put Their Christmas Break Ahead of Their Country. Tell Republican Senators: “Just Object to Harry Reid’s Fast-Track Rush on ObamaCare.” ----------------------------------------------------------------- This is the hill we will live or die on. For years we have allowed Republicans to use one excuse after another to hide under the rock of political expediency and put self-interest over country. No more. As a recent national poll indicated, the Tea Party is now more popular than the GOP. The message to Republicans is clear: you are losing your voters because you are losing your nerve. ### Source : PRWeb |

It didn't fit in the title window, so I shortenedit.
Here is the salient message IMO:
...Rick Santorum asked Kyl, ‘What is your strategy, to the extent you can share it,’ Kyl said, ‘Our strategy is not actually to delay…Our strategy is to have a lot of good amendments and highlight the problems in the bill. It is not our strategy to somehow slow things down.’
“The Republican Senators have been protesting vehemently in the media about how much they oppose ObamaCare and the Reid Health bill, and despite their constant reassurances to grassroots activists that they are doing everything humanly possible to defeat the bill, Republicans in fact are quietly stepping aside and allowing the ObamaCare Express to move forward.
They will never take over either house if this continues.
Holy Mother of God. If true (and I do not doubt you) why the hell did he not speak the truth? They have no friggin strategy.
We need to get these career politicians out of DC. It's not about a third party. It is not about staying home. It is not about of voting for the dem to teach the pubies (I meant to spell it that way) a lesson.
It is about the primaries. It is about getting the best candidates at home to run for office.
“The Republican Senators have been protesting vehemently in the media about how much they oppose ObamaCare and the Reid Health bill, and despite their constant reassurances to grassroots activists that they are doing everything humanly possible to defeat the bill, Republicans in fact are quietly stepping aside and allowing the ObamaCare Express to move forward.”
Exactly! I wonder if they’re too stupid or what? I don’t understand them. 2010-2012 and I won’t even care - they’re out the door.
I want them to go on Christmas vacation right now.
Which is exactly what the Pubs have BEEN doing.... letting the progressive liberals run the show until the people get fed up and elect a majority of Republicans. THEN the Pubs suddenly act like 'bipartisan' is the only word they know.
Personally, I'm getting mighty sick of the Republican shell game. A blind person could see it's not about the country, it's about control.
RINO outrage of the day.
