I know that's not a surprise, but he states that he is confident that he will get the votes to pass the health care control bill.
You know what to do and you know who to call. United States Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121 or you can get their direct number at http://www.senate.gov/general/contact_information/senators_cfm.cfm?OrderBy=state&Sort=ASC
After you have flooded their phone lines be sure to flood their inboxes.
This issue not not an emotional issue so do not let them even attempt to say it to you.
Remind them if they want to help curb health insurance costs then allow us to buy insurance across state lines. By opening the markets up to us all, competition would dictate the prices, not each individual state.
Likewise many states force insurance companies to add extra coverage to all policies even if the buyer of that policy does not want it. So for example, one state may force all policies to have maternity coverage regardless of whether or not the buyer is a single woman who does not plan on having a child.
Any legislator who supports this health care reform currently on the table needs to be sent packing come next election cycle. Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi should be the first to be sent to the unemployment line.
Keep standing up, keep speaking up and keep living free.
GOD'S WORD FOR TODAY
JOSHUA 24:14 Now therefore fear the LORD, and serve him in sincerity and in truth. (KJV)
