Stop Speaker Pelosi From Getting 216 Votes
Wednesday, March 10, 2010 at 7:45PM Nancy Pelosi needs 216 "Yes" votes to pass the Senate's healthcare reform bill in the House. As long as the House Republicans stand united, 38 Democrat "No" votes will be needed to defeat the bill. President Obama has asked the House to vote by Thursday, March 18th. The WSJ takes a detailed look at the math behind the possible upcoming vote, as does FireDogLake.
Targeted House Members:
1) According to Representative Tom Price, M.D., the Democrats that need to be targeted are the 37 Democrats who voted "No" last year and 31 others who voted "Yes" but are still considered undecided or are particularly vulnerable this time around. Dr. Price recommends visiting http://www.nrcc.org/CodeRed/targets/ for a list of these targeted members including links to obtain their contact information.
Tell them to "VOTE NO."
(39 Democrats voted "No" last year, however Rep. Massa has resigned and Rep. Griffith changed parties and is now a Republican.)
2) The Hill has published a list (CLICK HERE TO VIEW) of 24 Democrats who are a "Firm No, Leaning No, or Likely No" and 80 who are "Undecided." Please thank the "No" votes for making the right decision and tell the undecideds to do the right thing and "vote NO."
Those on The Hill list marked with an "*" voted for the Stupak anti-abortion amendment last November. They need to be reminded that "the Senate bill cannot be fixed if the House votes for it." The Capitol Switchboard is: (202) 224-3121. Call and tell the operator which office you would like to be connected to. More contact information can be found at http://www.contactingthecongress.org/ and http://www.house.gov/house/MemberWWW_by_State.shtml .
3) Also the Tea Party Patriots have a target contact list that includes district contact information. CLICK HERE to view their list .

Hello,
Thank you who are protesting this outrageous health care bill called Obamacare.
I appreciate all of your efforts to persuade the various Representatives and Senators to VOTE NO on Obamacare. May God bless you!
I plan to attend the March 13th rally at the Minnesota State Capitol. Not being able to attend the rallies at the Washington DC event on March 16th, I offer my prayers for the success of the rally.
I think that we all need to pray, Pray, PRAY for the Good Lord to have mercy on us and to intercede for us and give us the grace, strength and courage to prevent this outrageous health care bill from passing into law. Therefore I ask you all to pray -- each in his/her own way of praying. Thank you.
A good reference for all of these things that are going on in the Senate and House is the article in the Autumn 2009 issue of "The Fatima Crusader", issue #93 - see it at http://www.fatimacrusader.com/cr93/cr93pg37.pdf. It tells about how Obama is pushing the agenda to adapt/implement the "tyranny of the new world order" in our country -- such policies are anti-life, anti-Christian and anti-US-Constitution, and against a few other things that we all hold near to our hearts in this blessed country of ours. This article helps explain why we are seeing this Obamacare pushed so much using various tactics and why we will see more bad bills coming before the House and/or Senate very soon -- such as ENDA, and gun-control laws and treaties that lead to take our 2nd Amendment rights away - we need to defend ourselves. God bless you all and may He be with you in all the good work that you do!
"T.R. Reid, best selling author, went to ten countries and found out why all the other industrialized democracies have managed to provide high-quality universal health care but still spend half as much as we do. Reid explains how they do it, and why they do it in his book: The Healing of America. One key lesson is that most foreign countries do not use socialized medicine. Japan has 99 percent private hospitals and 5,000 health insurance companies -- but provides universal coverage and excellent care for less than half what we spend per capita."

Thanks for the book tip as well as the info re:Japan. Quite honestly I don't believe this push is really about healthcare. I believe there is a much bigger agenda on the table. Why else would a president be so adamant about a bill that clearly will bankrupt the country he leads? Because that is exactly what he is trying to do. I've never been one to believe in conspiracy theories, but sadly I see it as the only rational explanation. This is a horrible bill & it is the one thing that actually IS transparent in O's presidency... anyone can see right through his claims of concern for the American people's health.
So, www.brightspotgroup.com is operated/founded by an ex governor of the Fed? I would love to sit and talk to that guy. That is another institution that needs to fall.... the Fed, I mean, not brightspot.
I agree that this isn't just about forcing through the health care bill. This administration wants to control every part of our lives whether we like it or not. Well, I have news for them: it's not gonna happen! These people think they know all the answers. Well, they don't, and their time's up. Wake up, people! It's time to clean house and vote all these jerks out of office. We need some fresh new faces in Washington who won't lecture us or tax us to death. God Bless America and thank you to all the troops! :)
