Hill phones "going crazy" supporting ObamaCare
Steve Elliott, Grassfire Nation
I just received word from a trusted contact on Capitol Hill that the Left's strategy of flooding Congress with "Pro ObamaCare" phone calls is working.
"We just left [a member of Congress'] office and while we were waiting, their phones were going crazy demanding" support for health care and to sign on to the Bennet letter committing to voting for reconciliation. The Bennet effort is to give Pelosi air cover for the House vote.... Get everyone you can to call or fax or email."
The "Bennet letter" refers to a letter from Sen. Michael Bennet of Colorado which urges Majority Leader Reid to use BUDGET RECONCILIATION to pass ObamaCare WITH THE PUBLIC OPTION.
In other words, the Bennet letter is designed to send a message to House Democrats that the House version of the bill with the public option will be included in the final (real) ObamaCare bill using reconciliation.
And reports indicate the Bennet Letter already has 33 signers!
+ + Odds of ObamaCare passing are rising
This contact also relayed the following on the prospects of ObamaCare passing...
"The person who has been our main contact said...last week she would have thought 20% [likelihood of ObamaCare passing] now thinks 50%.... They also have polling data that each
piece of health care reform when polled line by line has support and that Americans will love it after they do it. My sense is that we really need the TEA party to bombard the House members or this is going to happen."
