I know this is a vanity, so is this okay to post? And if so, is there any way you could correct my spelling screw-up in the title? It should read
Representation.
Thank you.

My local demo-Rat is 110% in the tank for this. Won’t even waste my time and breath. Better to join others in pressuring those we might flip.

FWIW, I think we've got a wedge issue here. Reps may still be in the tank for Obamacare, but how can the so-called party of the people say it's okay to hold a vote that disenfranchises hundreds of thousands of voters?
Ask them why it's okay to force a vote when so many of their fellow Americans are without a voice.

Two points:
1. I'm disenfranchised myself, and I'm in the district with Rep. Tsongas... who has fingers in her ears when it comes to so-called HCR.
2. For this "HCR" anyways, there are no borders or districts, because each and every rep threatening to vote 'yea' is voting on our health and lives, our kids lives, and their kids.
Is -21bama in your rep's district? He's lobbying everybody's districts.
By definition, Pelousy and Reed (sic) are not in your district. They are lobbying every other rep. WE are all in our rights to lobby each and every congresscritter on this bill.

But you've still got a Rep.
I want to see the 'Rats held to account for trying to hold a vote that leaves over a million people without representation.

Here's some rough math for the number of folks without a Critter:
NY-29: Over 600,000
PA-12: Over 600,000
HI-1: Over 600,000
FL-19: Over 600,000.
Those are conservative estimates.
Over two million people will be deprived of representation if the vote is held while those seats remain vacant.

How in HADES can anyone justify holding a dang vote with that many people lacking representation?!

Paterson claims to be open to scheduling a special election for NY-29. We’ll see.

To be fair, no one has any representation in this freaking fascistic health take-over nightmare. It’s Obama-Pelosi-Reid ONLY.
