The Health Care Fight is the House: Please, Please, Please Call Them!

[catnipman]

Folks, despite all the rhetoric about reconciliation, the real fight is to get the House to pass the Senate bill, word for word, exactly like it came from the Senate. Until then, there can be no "reconcilliation" vote in the Senate, and furthermore, only the Senate bill, word for word, can be voted on. All the rhetoric about changes to the bill, slimmed down bill, incorporation of Republican ideas is simply nonsense.

Both Senator Jim DeMint and Senator Lindsey Graham explained this quite nicely on FNC last night.

We must pressure the House members and keep the pressure on.

I just called Betsy Markey's office in D.C. and unloaded. I was not polite. Time for politeness is long past. My statement was:

"I'm just a guy. I have no special interest. I'm not rich. But I'm p!ssed the f**k off<.big> and I have a $5,000.00 check sitting here waiting to go to her opponent if she votes for the Senate bill. And there's lots more like me. If she wants to have any chance whatsoever of being re-elected, she better not reverse her vote and vote for the Senate bill!

These are ten House members that voted no on the House health care takeover bill and whom Obama is trying to arm-twist in voting for the Senate bill in the House.n Please call them and put the fear of God into these people!

Bump! Thanks for providing the phone numbers, makes it fast and easy.

LOL I’m represented by the *Honorable Vacancy* at the moment.

Once it passes the House it will be sent to the President to be signed into law- forget the Senate they already passed the bill it just needs the House’s ok.. The battle is the House. Time to take it to the streets again- Tea Parties.

[InterceptPoint]

Thanks for posting. The message that the battleground is in the House and that all of this reconciliation business is just a red herring needs to be broadcast widely here on FR. The MSM is, at this point, successfully confusing the electorate into worrying about the Senate, reconciliation, the President's Plan etc. The House is where the action is.

Everyone should take a look at my early FR thread on this subject. It will clear up a lot of the confusion.

Forget Reconciliation, Why the Real Fight Is In the House

I’m calling Heath Shuler to tell him it’s time to call an audible at the line of scrimmage

[imskylark]

Can’t get through to Boyds office but called the local office (850) 561-3979. He said he is looking for 4 criteria in order to vote yes. Can’t remember what they are. One is that it doesn’t add to deficit and another is affordable coverage for all. Abortion isn’t an issue with him.

[Think free or die]

I’m represented by Rep Schwartz. She’s a hopeless lefty, but I called anyway.

[WOSG]

“One is that it doesn’t add to deficit “

Well, the Democrats are lying if they say it doesnt add to the deficit. They made it ‘neutral’ by having taxes for for 10 years and the benefit start 4 years later. IN the following 10 years it would be a huge burden on the deficit and debt, not to mention the added taxes.

[catnipman]

Betsy Markey is a hopeless lefty too. But she won in a conservative district and has to walk a tightrope if she has any chance at all of being re-elected. Unfortunately, she may conclude she’s unlikely to be re-elected under any circumstance and simply decide to commit political suicide
