Shouldn’t that be “We know that most of the Blue Dogs are going to oppose healthcare until they cave as usual when Nancy and Rahm turn up the heat or when enough additional funds for projects in their districts magically appear.”

These offices have other ways to contact them.

For instance, Suzanne Kosmas Port Orange fax number is (386) 756-9903. I’m going to look into ways to send a fax from the internet.

Apparently, in a spirit of New Tone, Honor, and Reaching Across the Ailse in a Spirit of Bipartisan Cooperation, they are fashioning a compromise with the Democrats so a health care bill can still be “salvaged.” Our “Republican” leaders in the Senate may still bring a major expansion of government involvement in health care about.

Doesn’t hurt to bump the “No” votes.

Looks like a ripe target

I’m working with a campaign looking to unseat Chet Edwards in Texas 17. He’s been very quiet on health care, just as he was on Cap and Trade, which means he’s probably looking to cut the same deal with Pelosi and crowd. He was given a release to vote against Cap and Trade when it was clear the bill had the votes to pass, and may be in the same boat for this one.

We’ve been hammering him pretty hard on Health Care (protests, letters, etc.) and any support would be great.

By the way, feel free to check us out at http://www.robcurnockforcongress.com/ as well … I’m helping overhaul and upgrade the web site. I hadn’t planned to try to promote it yet on here because I didn’t think it was ready for your critical eye, but we cannot sit by and wait for our timing on this one.

She’s not taking a position just yet, but she’s opposed to the cost of the current bill. No position yet on the public option.

She wants increased medical coverage and reduced costs for care, but not at the expense of bankrupting the nation.

Personally I think she’s going to have to oppose this after voting for Cap-n-Trade and being in favor of Card Check. She’s got a fine line to walk in a conservative district and she’s been going left of the line with her votes quite often since her election.

There is a bipartisan bill that has been referred to the finance committee. It is called the Healthy Americans Act (S.391). Sponsor is Wyden (D-O), with 14 so-sponsors, which includes the following Republicans: Alexander (TN); Bennett(UT)Crapo(ID); Graham (SC), & Gregg (NH). Four of the co-sponsors (Crapo; Cantwell; Nelson; Stanbenow), sit on the finance comm. Since my Senator (Landrieu) is one of the co-sponsors, I can’t see her voting for the current health care legis. should it make it through the House, but you never know!

But you can tweet a Senator and tell them NO.

On Monday July 27 2009 Senator Claire McCaskill’s office held a town hall meeting at Forest Park Community College in St. Louis… A Tea Party Protest broke out.

Just seems interesting to me that they’re going to make this change in 3 days by completing the bill today and getting vote commitments, Tuesday; then will be passing it by Friday in the House.

They are shutting out republicans, moderate democrats, most inquiry by the public; and this will affects everyone’s life that doesn’t die within the next 2 years before the health system is flooded by its grip.

I am ashamed I did not work harder to defeat Obama last year, but not as ashamed as every parent will be to thier kids that voted him in.

This, and cap and trade; have to be defeated. The USA will not be able to roll either back.

But many of these Members (especially Kosmos) are very vulnerable in 2010. I know I’m playing politics, but if some of these people actually vote for this healthcare bill, their Republican opponents will have even more ammo against them. The current House bill is going to have to change dramitcally before the Senate ever passes this debacle. So, why not let the vulnerable Members take a vote that could mean political suicide rather than pressuring them to vote against a bill that has no way of becoming law, in its current form.

and knowing that Hatch, Snowe and a few other rogue R senators are on the sub-committee, shouldn’t we be targeting the Senators as well. Reid said the Senate wouldn’t vote on it until after recess, but, who can trust Reid? I wouldn’t be surprised if the Senate votes first. Am I missing something.

due to so called Republicans , actually RINO’s, who, just as with Immigration Law Breaker Reform, think Something must be passed. I agree, we need to light up the phones on these RINO’s. Does not mean they will not sell us down the river but at least they will hear what we want–NO OBAMACARE!

Why do members of Congress feel as though they have to do “something”? Are they afraid to do nothing? I would feel far safer and freer if they did absolutely nothing.
Compromise is not an end unto itself and I wish to God these squishy RINO’s would stop being the weak link. Those that compromise time and time again are fools who should be ashamed at their gullibility. A deal with the Democrats ALWAYS is a victory for Democrats because we never get anything in return, all we do is force the Democrats to give up on some of what they are asking for. That’s not compromise.
A deal with the Dems always goes like this:
Democrat 1: We need 1/2 mile
Democrat 2: The GOP will never agree to that!
Democrat 1: They will if we ask for a mile. Works every time!
