OK, here are the list of Texas Democrats who are either supporting this health care bill or thinking about it. Let's ring their phones off the hook! Let's burn up their fax machines!

Henry Cuellar P: 202-225-1640/F: 202-225-1641 - Texas's 28th congressional district. Goes from San Marcos down to Lardeo.

TEXAS DEMOCRATS UNDECIDED:

Chet Edwards P: (202) 225-6105/F: 202-225-0350 - 17th district. That district spreads from College station to the Southern part of Dallas.

Solomon Ortiz P: (202) 225-7742 /F: (202) 226-1134 - Texas's 27th congressional district. That district covers everything from Brownsville to Corpus Cristie.

I got through to Rodriguez, but not the others. I’ve tried to call the others throughout the day. Chet Edwards did send out an email earlier in the day saying that he would be voting “no”. I’ll keep trying.

San Antonio Nurses and Doctors are after Ciro. I have done about everything I can with Ciro. He knows what is right but I think Nancy and Obama have him by his pants. Ciro has one daughter and I asked him if he was worried about her future health care. I never got an answer. Ciro and Henry have about ninety percent Hispanic in their Districts.

I was going to include the emails, but I’ve been told by staffers over and over again that it’s a waste of time. Phone calls have the biggest “punch”. Faxes are good, too. Snail mail may actually make it to the representative, but takes time.

Emails just get screened by an intern and mostly deleted.

Yep. I would bet you're right.
It was just a thought.
Thanks for the reply.

Don’t worry about it. I emailed for years until I finally started *asking* if this was even working and was told “no”.

It was a good thought! :-)

357 days till the real verdict on all these guys and gals. We need to get fresh people in congress. I am tired of all the deal making and crap that goes on. Kenny Marchant my rep voted against healthcare bill, but he is a lifer public servant (since 1980). I respect the service, but I believe he has lost touch with real life. We need a new face for the 24TH district here in TX.
