We still have a chance to defeat the Health Care legislation. Please target the House members, listed below, that voted for the Stupak Amendment. The Representatives listed below are particularly susceptible to changing their vote.

The Senate version does not include the Stupak language which restricts taxpayer funded abortions. It is highly likely that the Senate version will prevail in negotiations. Some House members had refused to vote for the bill until the Stupak amendment was added.

We feel that this is a "weakness" that can be exploited in order to defeat this bill and prevent government take over of our health care system.

Please Call, Fax and E-mail the Reps listed below and tell them to vote "NO" on the health care bill. It may seem as if contacting congress isn't making a difference, but they are hearing our voices. Our screams are waking up the American people. Do everything in your power to make sure congress hears your voice! Your efforts will not be in vain.

Breaking News: Senate passes cloture vote- The Senate has approved a key procedural measure to advance Harry Reid's $848 billion, 2,074-page healthcare bill to a floor debate. Click here to view the voting tally.

From Ameripac.
Reid has bought Senator Mary Landrieu (D) of Louisiana for $100 million of your tax dollars to be sent to Louisiana to help it cover costs for Medicaid, the federal-state health care program for the poor. Lousianna is the only state that qualifies for the provision and Reid bought Landrieu In her speech, Landrieu said “I've decided… to move forward, but much more work needs to be done."

Landrieu had been one of several Democrats said they would not vote for the bill. This is the first step in the Senate Cloture Process. The fight is just beginning.

The Rationing Commission
from the Nov 15, Wall Street Journal article

In other words, the Medicare commission would come to function much like the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence, which rations care in England. Or a similar Washington state board created in 2003 to control costs. Its handiwork isn't pretty.

The Washington commission, called the Health Technology Assessment, is manned by 11 bureaucrats, including a chiropractor and a "naturopath" who focuses on alternative, er, remedies like herbs and massage therapy. They consider the clinical effectiveness but above all the cost of medical procedures and technologies. If they decide something isn't worth the money, then Olympia won't cover it for some 750,000 Medicaid patients, public employees and prisoners.

So far, the commission has banned knee arthroscopy for osteoarthritis, discography for chronic back pain, and implantable infusion pumps for pain not related to cancer. This year, it is targeting such frivolous luxuries as knee replacements, spinal cord stimulation, a specialized autism therapy and MRIs of the abdomen, pelvis or breasts for cancer. It will also rule on routine ultrasounds for pregnancy, which have a "high" efficacy but also a "high" cost.

The house voted late Saturday night to disregard the wishes of the American people and ignore the screams of tens of thousands of protesters that showed up at the Capitol. H.R.3962 passed with 220 votes For & 215 Against. Only 1 Republican Joseph Cao (LA), voted for the legislation. 39 Dems voted with the Repubs to stand with the American people against socialized medicine.

You can view the voting tally here, so you know who to send their pink slips.

Comment on our message boards

This is our last best chance to stop socialized medicine from taking over our healthcare system.

The last of the buses and cars have left for DC, and the remainder will be flying out in the morning.

We desperately need for those who are staying behind to do THREE things:

1. Visit your Congressperson's local office TOMORROW - THURSDAY, November 5th. There are rallies at the offices of Blue Dog Democrats and Pro-Life Democrats all over the nation tomorrow at noon. Those two small groups of Democrats are pivotal to stopping the Obama/Pelosi healthcare bill HR 3962. (Contact info is below.)

2. Call the Blue Dog and Pro-Life Democrats. If you can't get through on their Washington DC lines, call their district offices. Be kind! I'm told the White House and Pelosi's office are being so nasty to these people. Show them YOU are different and YOU will support their efforts to do what is right for freedom. (If you press *67 before calling, it will block your Caller ID. This is free and you must dial it every time before you call.)

3. Pray for our safety and effectiveness.

4. Share this information with your closest friends and family.

Here is a list with the PAGE NUMBERS of the most reprehensible details of the Obama/Pelosi HR 3962 healthcare bill (including tax-payer funded abortion; coverage for illegal immigrants; and drastic cuts to Medicare):

Here is a list of the 111 NEW boards, commissions, and bureaucracies in Obama/Pelosi HR 3962:

Earlier today I spoke with Congressman and doctor Paul Broun from Georgia. He told me "this is the end of this battle" and we must reach these Democrats. "They hold the future of our health and the health of our children and grandchildren in their hands." Please, please take the time to help us today. We need you.

For Freedom,

Tricia Pridemore
Leader of the Cobb County 912 Project

Obama and the Bureaucratization of Health Care
The president's proposals would give unelected officials life-and-death rationing powers.
By SARAH PALIN

Writing in the New York Times last month, President Barack Obama asked that Americans "talk with one another, and not over one another" as our health-care debate moves forward.

I couldn't agree more. Let's engage the other side's arguments, and let's allow Americans to decide for themselves whether the Democrats' health-care proposals should become governing law.

Some 45 years ago Ronald Reagan said that "no one in this country should be denied medical care because of a lack of funds." Each of us knows that we have an obligation to care for the old, the young and the sick. We stand strongest when we stand with the weakest among us.

We also know that our current health-care system too often burdens individuals and businesses—particularly small businesses—with crippling expenses. And we know that allowing government health-care spending to continue at current rates will only add to our ever-expanding deficit.

How can we ensure that those who need medical care receive it while also reducing health-care costs? The answers offered by Democrats in Washington all rest on one principle: that increased government involvement can solve the problem. I fundamentally disagree. (Read more...)
