It's Make or Break Time with Health Care - Call Congress NOW:!

It's Make or Break Time with Health Care

President Obama is pushing very hard to pass the healthcare bill using the reconciliation process. This is a two step process. The House would approve the Senate-passed bill and changes to the Senate bill sought by the House would be passed separately through reconciliation.

Time to act on health care, Obama declares

Once More Unto the Breach

We must act now to prevent this. We need to call the "Blue Dog Democrats" listed below and urge them to vote no.

The Blue Dog Democrats issued a press release yesterday that stated:

Blue Dogs Call for Balanced Budget

"Washington, DC - Today, members of the fiscally conservative Blue Dog Coalition, led by Representative Bobby Bright of Alabama, will introduce legislation that would require the federal government to pay down the national debt and balance the budget by 2020."

Please remind them that we can not afford this healthcare plan and that it is detrimental to their goal of achieving a balanced budget.
