In the aftermath of his sham health care summit, President Obama has made clear his determination to proceed to try to jam through his radical legislation.
There is no real chance to stop it in the Senate since he will use reconciliation to pass it. But we can beat it in the House! Dozens of Congressmen who voted for the bill last time are re-thinking their support in view of the tidal wave of opposition. And, since the bill passed by only 220-215, there is no Democratic margin for error.
Each of us can act now to protect our healthcare:
1. Go to dickmorris.com and see a list of marginal Democrats who voted for healthcare last time. The list includes their local and Washington office phone numbers. Pick up the phone and call them. Even if you don’t live in the district, call them. If you live in the same state, tell them. If not, call them anyway. Call your friends or family that might live in their states or even their districts (the list on our web site says where their district is located) and ask them to call the Congressmen. Keep those lines busy all weekend!
2. Please give the League of American Voters funds immediately to run ads in each of these districts. They have created a very effective ad for each of these marginal members and will run it in their districts if you give us the funding. They have raised $200,000 in the past three days but need more to blanket these swing districts.

Even if you have already given the League money, do it again. Your donations have brought us to the edge of victory on health care and if you give again we can put it to a final end.
Remember what is at stake! If Obama loses this fight, his entire momentum will be crippled. But, if he passes his bill it will:
* Cut $500 billion from Medicare
* Force rationing of health care
* Raise income taxes to 43% (from 35%) and capital gains taxes to 22.5% (from 15%)
* Force a $2,000 increase in the average health insurance premium
* Force young people to buy insurance they don’t need or want that would cost over $8500 per person
* Or…pay 2.5% of their income as a fine for not having insurance
* Or…face prison if they don’t do either
* Tax medical devices and many medical procedures
And, in addition to all of the above, it will have an horrific impact on the deficit. Don’t listen to Obama’s claims to deficit neutrality. The bill will cost $1 trillion over six years and will generate revenues of $1 trillion over ten years. But if you run the projections out to fourteen years, the costs exceed the revenues by over $1 trillion.
These projections do not include about $1 trillion in health insurance premiums or fines that the uninsured will have to pay and about $3 trillion in increased health insurance premiums the rest of us will have to pay.
The Cato Institute estimates that the total cost of this bill over a twenty year period will come to $6.5 trillion.
To support the League of American Voters in their efforts to stop Obama — Go Here Now.
So…please make the calls and write your checks. Our health care lies in the balance!
Thank you!!!

[...] Call swing vote congress members 2. Donate to the League of American Voters Is ObamaCare going to be enacted into law?survey [...]
My congresswoman, Louise Slaughter, along with wanting us to pay for a woman’s dentures, spoke of the need to pass this bill to increase exporting of goods to other countries.
I have yet to hear anyone talk on that part of Louise Slaughter’s summit speech. She said, in so many words, that this is needed to lower the cost of our goods, for foreign trade. Of course this is ridiculous. However some are saying that congress can do this under the commerce clause. –I kid you not. And of course congress cannot take over an industry, in an attempt to make American products less expensive for foreign countries.
Oh, my word, if they really wanted to lower the cost of our products, then they would lower taxes on American industries. Hey, what a concept!
But we know that that all they are really wanting is the power. It is a sick and freak thing, but that is what people like Louise Slaughter want. They want to feel the power over the people. They are quite literally freaky little people.
They do not really care about a woman who is having to wear her dead sister’s dentures, which was the sob story that Louise Slaughter told at the summit. If she cared that much, she’d have bought the lady a set of teeth. And she sure as heck would not expect us all to pay for them. I called Louise Slaughter’s office, after hearing about this and told the woman to tell Louise Slaughter, that I don’t want to pay for that woman’s teeth. I want to pay my own bills!
We found out just how much these people want to help the poor, when they put in the bill that people will be THROWN IN JAIL if they do not pay into the government health “insurance” plan! What is that?
Nancy and Louise and Obama and the others expect us to believe that they feel so badly for people who are losing their homes because of high medical bills, when they are fine with tossing those people in JAIL??? umm… I think they will lose their homes if they are sitting in jail! Jeepers! Do they think we are stupid???
And what about the homeless? Is congress going to take over the housing industry next and all of our homes, because there are people who do not have homes. How DARE we have homes, while people are homeless! Where are hour hearts!
What about those who do not have enough to eat? Are the grocery stores next on congress’s take over list? Louise Slaughter cannot tell me that we are to believe that she cares about a woman wearing her dead sister’s teeth, but does not care about the child going hungry on the streets. This all, while congress voted themselves yet another raise!!!
Well, I have news for those power-hungry liberals in congress. They are not given the power to take care of the personal welfare of the individual citizens in this country! There job is to govern the United States, as per the U.S. Constitution instructs them to. They derive their power FROM us. They do NOT have power OVER us! And their power is to do a job FOR us!
I for one, will be working diligent to get someone else in as my congressperson and both of my senators too!
I left the following post on Louise Slaughter’s YouTube page that has her summit meeting speech:
1 – The U.S. Constitution does not give Congress the power to take over health care.
2 – Taking over health care is NOT the answer to lowering the cost of our exports, in an effort to increase sales to foreign markets.
3 – The redistribution of money, with the hopes of paying for a woman’s dentures, is stealing.
4 – There is no dental coverage in the health care bill.
5 – Discussing the health care bill contents, is not nit-picking. It is wise, responsible and very informing.

PS… And for the record, talking about the health care bill is not “nit-picking” as Louise Slaughter so rudely referred to it being. Shame on her, for so many reasons!
