Poor “Crist Lite” Le Mieux’s office is swamped. Finally got a frazzled but polite lady on the phone, and left my message. She’ll go home exhausted tonight.

They better not sell us out.

Warner’s office (1 of 5 that I could get thru to), said he was voting for cloture. When I asked the aide why the Senator supported the health care bill, he said Warner did not, but wanted a debate to ‘modify’ it. I then explained that we understand the process and how after debate, passage is nearly gauranteed, The Senator would be remebered for his vote – the miffed aide thanked me for my opinion.

Finally got one of Webb’s offices. As usual he ‘has not made up his mind’. This is the answer they always give. If he truly doesn’t have hos mind made up on these important votes this close to the actual deed, he’s either a vacuous boob or totally devoid of any priniples.
He’s up in 2010 – a yes vote for this abonination and he will be toast. Hopefully toast anyway….

Faxed both this morning, because hard to make calls. Besides switchboard was tied up. I heard Cornyn on Am Family Radio and he said he would absolutely not be voting for cloture and anyone that did was voting for the healthcare bill.

AND…REMEMBER!!!

THE 2010 VOTING SEASON IS ONLY MONTHS AWAY…THEN WE’LL START TO SEE CHANGE WE CAN BELIEVE IN!

I just read two stories about how he changed his mind about reading the bill. That bill needs to be read.

Below are all the Senators’ e-faxes – hopefully those voting NO on motion to proceed, can also influence at least one of the “undecided”:

holds firm.

Reading some of the posts on this website the last couple of days and browsing articles on the web about this vote coming up on Saturday, I can’t help but to wander if we’re getting a little too bent out of shape about what really is at the end of the day a procedural vote that isn’t in any sense gonna be the final say on health care reform. If you think about it, is there really a lot to be gained from a Democrat Senator by voting no to begin debate on the bill? There are still votes on very important amendments and the final passage of the bill that will all require 60 votes. Maybe debating this monstrosity for a couple more months and watching it die might not be such a bad thing.

Reid and Baucus are co-sponsoring a milder version of Wyden’s Free Choice amendment. This is significant to many Senate Democrats, as Wyden is considered an expert on health care reform, spending many years on this issue.

He’s a lost cause, but I tried anyway

Spector’s line was busy for 10 mins strait or I got a message saying all lines were busy. Casey’s mailbox was full.

I sent both emails, and faxes. I got delivery confirmation on the faxes but who knows if they were read. I believe they have both made up their minds to vote yes anyhow. I did remind Spector that he needed some votes from the good people of this state next year, but I don’t think he cares.

I have generally kept to a “No politics” rule with my family because there is no good to come from discussing. On this I made an exception. I sent my entire family an e-mail suggesting that if they don’t like what Congress is doing to let tthem know.

In DC and the states(of those staff that haven’t had enough already and gone home).

So, keep calling ! I’m not quitting until the cloture vote passes.

BTW – Reid’s local # is: 702-388-5020 – f-702-388-5030.

I enjoyed telling his staff this is their last year and they’ll be part of the 2010 unemployed numbers.
