WASHINGTON – Inside sources on Capitol Hill say a new surge of pink slips could effectively derail the passage of the health-care bill – now facing reconciliation between the House and Senate.

So far, a record 9 million pink slips protesting socialized medicine and other big-spending legislation have been delivered to every member of Congress.

"I truly believe, based on what I'm hearing from members of the House and Senate, that we still have a chance to kill a government takeover of health care," said Joseph Farah, editor and chief executive officer of WND and one of the organizers of the campaign. "Quite honestly, I believe if we hit 10 million this month, we have a legitimate shot at this big goal."

Farah says there are several factors working toward that goal. Next week, a replacement for the late Sen. Ted Kennedy, D-Mass., will be elected in Massachusetts. Polls show Republican candidate Scott Brown edging ahead of Democrat Martha Coakley – an event considered next to impossible a month ago.

In addition to that possibility, polls showing formerly entrenched Democrats in House and Senate leadership positions faring badly in their own states and districts are giving many members of Congress pause for reconsideration of their support for the health care bills approved separately in the House and Senate.

"What I'm hearing from Capitol Hill is really simple – give the pink slips one more big push," says Farah. "Hit 10 million and it may be the end of health care."

The pink slip campaign is the most economical way ever devised to send out 535 personalized messages to Congress delivered individually to every office in the Capitol.

That's what the pink slip program is all about. And it is winding down now with a big push to the 10 million mark.

"Be a part of history," says Farah. "Be a part of a program that will result in a voter revolution this fall. Show them you mean what you say ands say what you mean."

He adds: "If you are one of those Americans who can't wait to vote this fall, let every member of the House and Senate know what's coming in November. Let them know it's time for them to start job hunting – just like so many other American they helped put out of work with this reckless spending and unconstitutional practices."

For just $29.95 you can send an individualized notice to every member of Congress in the form of a "pink slip."

The grassroots effort, organized by Farah and WND columnist Janet Porter, has warned members of the U.S. House and Senate they could be facing a "pink slip" as early as 2010.

The pink slips campaign ensures Fed Ex will deliver this powerful message to all 535 members of the House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate – all for a remarkably low price based on economies of scale.

At $29.95, that translates to 6 cents per message – shipped by Fed Ex.

So far, the onslaught of support for the campaign has twice wiped out supplies of pink paper across North America. As boxes of "Send Congress a Pink Slip" notices pile up in their offices, many members of Congress have embraced the effort and openly admit that they're getting the message. Others are "talking about it, but they're only talking about it behind closed doors and in the elevators as they go up and down and in very whispered tones," said Rep. Tom Price, R-Ga.

"What you hear are people saying, 'How many of those did you get or how many people came to your office today? And what are you going to do and how are you going to vote on this?'" Price continued.

Price recently joined Reps. Trent Franks, R-Ariz., Steve King, R-Iowa, Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., and Louis Gohmert, R-Texas, in publicly thanking Farah and Porter for the program's results.

"It's an amazing feat, to get that many slips to Congress," King told WND. "If you look through them, you can index each one back to an individual. That's powerful. There is a person behind each one of the slips."

"This is putting everyone on notice," said Sen. Jim DeMint, R-S.C., during an interview on Fox News. "And I think this is what the American people have been doing for months now, saying if you keep spending and borrowing, you're going to get fired."

Rep. Todd Akin, R-Mo., said: "The pink slip campaign serves as a good reminder of the unavoidable fact that every member of Congress answers to their constituents and that they ignore their voices at their own peril."

Voices in unison pose the best hopes for stirring the conscience of Congress, said Farah, and the program makes the cost of sending mail to 535 people not only manageable but a downright bargain.

"We encourage citizens to take individual actions," said Farah. "But when we act as a group, it's more cost-effective and the results more dramatic. Just try Fed Exing members of Congress yourself and see what it costs. We have learned from past experience that Fed Ex actually ensures delivery to members. What they do with them at that point is their choice."

If all the pink slips Congress has received were put end to end, the stripe of pink would stretch from Washington beyond Phoenix, at more than 2,400 miles.

Stacked, they would soar 3,000 feet in the air, or nearly six times as high as the Washington Monument.
