Help Kill The Bill

Together we can “Kill the Bill”

Focusing on 13 Senators who could turn the tide

Over the past couple of weeks, we have put the pressure on the Senate Finance committee to let them know that we do not want the government to takeover healthcare. The time has come where the legislation will be voted on within the next 2 to 3 weeks, and we need to turn up the heat!

One of our messages over the next week needs to be No Vote for Cloture. This means that if we can get one Democrat Senator of the 60 not to vote for cloture, we can kill the bill! According to one healthcare expert, there are 13 Senators that we have the possibility of turning to cast a vote against the bill! Of these 13 Senators, two are up for reelection in 2010. The time has come for us to target and pressure these 13 Senators!

You can do your part and stand shoulder to shoulder with other Patriots this week by applying pressure to these 13 Senators.

To make this as easy as possible, the Tea Party Patriots have broken the country into five regions and the 13 Senators into five groups. This allows us as a national movement to stagger the calls from each region, inundating the Senators with calls every day this week. For our region, we are being requested to call:

Tonight: Group #3 (Pryor, Warner, Begich)
Tuesday: Group #4 (Byrd, Carper)
Wednesday: Group #5 (Webb, Tester)
Thursday: Group #1 (Bayh, Bennet, Lieberman)
Friday: Group #2 (Nelson, Lincoln, Landrieu)

All of the contact information is listed below. Also, please target the Senators' local district offices when calling, as the local offices are not used to getting pressure like the DC offices. When making your calls and sending your emails, please be sure to make four simple points:

• No Government Takeover of Health Care
• No Public Option
• No Mandates
• No Vote for Cloture

We ask that you also email the Chief of Staff for each Senator.

Of course, you can always do more and call more than just the one group assigned to your region that day! If you want to call more, we would suggest calling and emailing the Senators in Group 1, because these are the ones that are up for reelection in 2010.

If you want to do even more, please focus on the Senate Finance Committee. You can get all of their contact information here (

One last point – when calling a Senator' office from another state, you can tell them that their vote will affect all Americans. You can also let them know you will be happy to contribute to the campaign of their opponent the next time they are up for reelection!

Thanks for all you are doing! Together we can Kill This Bill!
