Health Care Bill

At the June Meeting the decision was made to focus on Health Care as our first issue.
As usual the Dems will try to rush this insidious bill to a vote before anyone has a chance to read it. The only way to defeat this bill is to prevail on the Blue Dog Dems leadership to vote against it and encourage the rest of the Blue Dogs to do the same. We must also encourage the GOP leadership to make sure the GOP hang together to defeat this thing. Cap and Trade passed with only 7 votes. Call the following Congressmen when they return on July 7th and tell them to vote against HR2252.IH. Here are their phone numbers, they all start with 202 225. Sandlin 2801, Hill 5315, Melancon 4031 Shuler 6401. Also call GOP Leader John Boehner 6205 and Whip Eric Canter 2815. Washington State Congressmen, Doc Hasting 5816, Dave Reichert 7761, Cathy McMorris 7005. If you want to see what is in this bill (s0 far) or you want to contact other legislators go: http://www.clerk.house.gov/ this is the easiest way to find what you want.

Because the Dems now have a super majority in the Senate the GOP have no power, they can't even filibuster. However we should still do what we can to defeat S966.IS. Contact Senators Murray Tel: 202 224 2621 and Cantwell Tel:202 224 3441.
