A key House Committee will vote within the next
24-36 hours on ObamaCare. Please see below.
--Steve Elliott
Here's the dirty little secret of what's actually happening with ObamaCare right now on Capitol Hill...
Obama and the Democrats have launched a classic
political misdirection to diffuse grassroots opposition
against their socialized healthcare plan while
they iron out the details right under our noses!
It's the only explanation of why Obama, Reid and Pelosi areconceding that they will not get passage of ObamaCare before the August recess while at the same time pressing harder than ever for two key committees to finish their work immediately.
Since the final design of ObamaCare in Congress is being worked out in these committees, these votes are absolutely crucial.
So their plan is clear: diffuse grassroots pressure by
delaying the final vote while nailing down the dirty details
of ObamaCare in the key House and Senate Committees!
That means we are still in the midst of a critical time.
+ + Action #1 Fax these two key Committees
The House Energy and Commerce Committee is expected to vote in the next 24 hours. Meanwhile, six Senate Finance Committee members (the "Gang of Six") are feverishly working behind
closed doors to craft a so-called "compromise" that still puts the federal government at the epicenter of our healthcare system.
Our FaxFire system specifically targets these two committees so we can continue to get the message through loud and clear from grassroots citizens.
Please go here right now to send your faxes opposing
socialized health care to key members of this House
committee along with the six Senate negotiators,
your two Senators and Representative:

(As always, if you want to send your own faxes, we have provided the fax numbers and sample text for you. Just click here to access that information:
http://www.grassfire.net/r.asp?U=20576&CID=122&RID=21458445
If you have already sent faxes, please forward this message to your friends and urge them to get involved.
+ + Action #2 -- Call your Representative and the "Senate Six"!
In addition, call your Congressman and tell him or her that Congress should CEASE AND DESIST its work on government-run healthcare until Members return home and hear from their constituents.
Or, call the House Switchboard: 202-224-3121
Also, call the Senate "Gang Of Six":
Max Baucus: 202-224-2651
Chuck Grassley: 202-224-3744
Kent Conrad: 202-224-2043
Jeff Bingaman: 202-224-5521
Olympia Snowe: 202-224-5344
Mike Enzi: 202--224-3424
Talking Points:
#1 -- The House and Senate and their committees should immediately
CEASE work on the government-run healthcare plan and instead
take time to listen to their constituents during the August
recess.
#2 -- I do not want the government to have more control and
influence over my health care. That is why I reject House
health care bill (H.R. 3200) and the soon-to-be-released
Senate "compromise" plan that still creates a federal mandate.
#3 -- America cannot afford the $1 trillion price tag of socialized
health care during these difficult economic times. I flatly
reject any health care proposal that increases costs or
imposes new taxes on any American.
Thank you for taking a stand!
