          Back-room deal this week will put socialized healthcare on

          the fast-track. Please see below and alert your friends.

                            --Steve

We have just been alerted that House and Senate leaders are moving very quickly to put socialized healthcare on a fast-track THIS WEEK as part of the revised Obama budget.

Members of the House-Senate conference have struck a deal with Harry Reid and the Obama team to require just a simple majority vote in the Senate to pass Obama's massive socialized healthcare plan.

Our contacts are also warning us that Obama's oppressive $2 trillion global warming Carbon Tax also may be fast-tracked!

Your grassroots pressure forced the Senate to remove this procedural trickery from the Obama budget just a few weeks ago. But now a handful of Congressmen and the Obama team are sneaking the fast-track language back in the budget!

+ + We have just a few hours to stop socialized healthcare

       and the oppressive Carbon Tax!

The House-Senate conference is meeting NOW and Obama's supporters want to pass the revised budget this week in time for the conclusion of Obama's first 100 days in office.

THIS IS A TOTAL OUTRAGE!

Democrats know they cannot get 60 votes in the Senate to pass socialized healthcare or the Carbon Tax, so they are manipulating the process to require only 50 votes later this year.

+ + Classic Political Misdirection

Here's how this all happened...

A few weeks ago you helped Grassfire expose the Obama budgets $2 trillion in new taxes and the plan by Democrats to fast-track pet socialistic programs. The Senate removed the fast-track language and it seemed to many that we had won this part of the debate.

As a result, the liberal media -- and even the conservative media --  dropped the issue.

Then, after the Spring recess, Rahm Emanuel went to Harry Reid's office and struck a deal to put the fast-track provisions back in.

Now, we have just hours to stop this. So...

After you send your faxes...

Please call these key members of Congress:

Call your two Senators:

Call your Congressman:

Again, this is classic D.C. back-room politics. We must take astand. Please schedule your faxes and make your phone calls. Then, alert your friends.

Thanks for taking a stand at this crucial time.

P.S. If we lose the battle over socialized healthcare, more than half of all Americans will earn their living off the government! This is the tipping point -- the point of no return -- when our country will become a socialist state like much of Europe.
