Keep The Pressure On — Tell The House To Vote No On The Senate Health Care Bill

The Senate Health Care bill will be coming to a vote in the house in the next few weeks.  Nancy Pelosi is putting the pressure on with back room deals and strong arm tactics to get the bill passed.  As of March 4, 2010 she doesn’t have to votes to pass the bill.  The following are vulnerable seats and supporters of the Stupak amendment.  Call them and tell them to vote NO on the Senate version of the Health Care bill or any version of the bill that Obama puts forth.

Short on time?  Call the Top 10 who could decide the fate of the bill.  It doesn’t matter if you don’t live in their district, they still have to take your call and listen to you.  All members of Congress pledge to uphold the constitution first and their districts second.  You can also tell them that you will do everything in your power to support their opponent if they vote yea for the bill.  Let’s keep the pressure on!

Join Us to Make Nationwide House Calls on Thursday, November 5th

Did you know that the House will vote on a health care bill this week?  We have an action plan.  Big events are happening all week!

On Thursday, November 5^th — Representative Michele Bachman (R-MN) will stand on the steps of the Capitol in Washington, D.C.– She will be joined by other members of Congress — and many Patriots from across this country.  People will be traveling from coast to coast — to stand shoulder to shoulder — with other Patriots in Washington this week.

So let’s join Representative Bachman and other Patriots by making house calls at State Capitols and Congressional district offices across the country.

Here’s the six-step House Call plan:

Do one or do all.  The call time is at noon. But if you can’t make it, don’t worry. Go at a convenient time for you.  Just show up, walk inside, and let your congressional representative know that you’re fed up.  We don’t have to have everyone there rallying at the same time to get noticed, everyone can trickle in to the offices and call the offices all day to send the message, Kill the Bill or lose your job!

^{1. GO TO DISTRICT CONGRESSIONAL OFFICES at 12 noon}

^{At 12:30 pm, at the exact same time around the country, in Washington, D.C. and at your local Congressional offices, join together and sing “God Bless America.”}

^{After singing with Patriots from across this country, deliver handwritten letters to the Representatives telling them to VOTE NO on government controlled health care.}

^{2. GO TO STATE CAPITOL at 12 noon}

^{At 12:30 pm, at the exact same time around the country, in Washington, D.C. and at your local Congressional offices, join together and sing “God Bless America.”}

^{3.Twitter “We Stand Together” and use hashtag #killbill at 12:15pm.}

^{You can update your location and progress throughout the day using Twitter hashtag #killbill.}

^{4. Call the White House (202.456.1414) at 1:00pm}

^{Tell the White House “We Stand Together.”}

^{5.  Call your local Congressional office at 1:15 pm.}

^{You can find the number here or you can dial the Washington, D.C. Congressional switchboard (202.224.3121) to contact the DC office.}

^{6. Email your Representative at 1:30 pm.}

^{You can email your Representative here.}

Thank you — we will win this as WE stand together!

Updated 7/23

Patriots,

Take action now to stop the government takeover of our healthcare system!

We are passing along a message from our friends at grassfire.org with information on what you can do to fight for your right to have control of your healthcare decisions—you in control, not Washington bureaucrats.

On Tuesday Barack Obama launched his full court press to get his socialized ObamaCare passed before the August recess.

First, like an angry “father”, he took Democrat Blue Dogs to the woodshed at a White House closed-door meeting. To no one’s surprise, they emerged over two hours later having “struck a deal” behind closed doors that is even WORSE…

The new “deal” would give an outside panel even more

power and control over tough healthcare cost decisions –

allowing Congress and the President to “pass the buck”

when healthcare costs skyrocket and rationing is enforced!

We are outraged that members of Congress are putting politics ahead of the needs of our country — and then passing the buck to an outside panel to ration your care.

But this fight is far from over. Bloggers are reporting that many of the Blue Dogs are still resisting ObamaCare, its $1 trillion price tag, the so-called “public option” that will destroy private sector health insurance, and the oppressive mandate on small business.  And, most importantly, make obtaining private healthcare insurance illegal. Obama was asked a question about this in a Town Hall meeting and he didn’t know how to answer, listen to his bumbled answer here.

Here’s what you need to know NOW…  and what you can do to fight back!

Obama is  pushing his case for ObamaCare AND the key vote in the House Energy and Commerce Committee remains in doubt!  Nancy Pelosi is threatening to keep the House in session until a resolution is passed.

Patriots, here are your action items:

+ + + Action #1 – Call and Fax Key House Members And Say “No” To ObamaCare

Several Democrats got taken to Obama’s woodshed Tuesday “Chicago thug politics” style.  He is also running heavy advertising against Dems opposing his policy throughout their states and districts.

Let them hear from the American people!  Let them know that you stand by their decision to stop ObamaCare!

Please go to the link below right now to get info on how to call and send faxes opposing socialized health care to key members of the Energy and Commerce House committee along with your two Senators and Representative. The link is to the grassfire.org fax program, but it also lists the key Representatives phone contacts, you can ignore the fax program instructions and go straight to the phones.  If you have the time to send a fax that’s great too.

http://www.grassfire.org/1122/targets.htm

+ + + Action #2 — Call Congress and the White House Today and every day until the August recess.

Obama is ramping up the pressure to get his socialized ObamaCare passed. Wednesday, he used the media to get his message out through a nationally televised press conference.

The White House was flooded with calls the day of and during the press conference opposing ObamaCare!  The switchboard was shut down!  Call the White House again, and again…

White House Switchboard: 202-456-1414

White House Comment Line: 202-456-1111

Also, call your Representative today and tell him or her you oppose socialized ObamaCare:

Find out who your Representative is here: http://www.votesmart.org/, go to the top left hand box and enter your zip code.

Or, call the House Switchboard: 202-221-3121

Talking Points:

#1 — I oppose the President’s socialized healthcare plan.

#2 — I do not want the government to have more control and

influence over my health care. That is why I reject

the so-called “public option” which is really

socialized health care and will destroy private options.

#3 — American’s cannot afford the $1.5 trillion price tag of

socialized health care during these difficult economic times.

I flatly reject any health care proposal that increases

costs or imposes new taxes on any American.

Please call right now!

http://www.grassfire.org/1122/targets.htm

Obama knows his socialized ObamaCare plan is in trouble. That’s why he took key Dems to the woodshed. That’s why he went on national TV again this week.

And that’s why we must press on in this fight!

Make sure to report back to us on what you were able to accomplish.  Post your comments, feedback, and results on our blog and Facebook group.  We’ll send out a report in the days ahead with a round-up of results.

Thank you for taking a stand and keep calling every day until Congress breaks for the August recess.
