Talking points memos have gone out to the House Dems.
They have been told to make nice with you, serve cookies and punch, smile and be non-confrontational. Also they’ve been told to meet you only in small groups so they don’t have any more photo ops of large numbers of people opposing Obamacare.
They will try and run some jive past you about how this is a “new and improved bill, incorporating Republican ideas like tort reform”. Don’t believe that B.S. for one second!
God bless all of y’all! I wish I could be there with you.
Does anyone know if we can see some of this on C span?
MSNBC showing Mike Pence speaking, but no sound.
God bless all of you who will be there, standing up for our rights. Once I retire (in four years, five months, and 13 days), I’ll be there, too!
Prayers Up! God Bless You All! :)
Go get em!!
God bless each and every one of you.
God be with you all.
God bless you all.
Would someone please put in a word for the folks who won't have a say?
Folks,
Republicans can destroy the health care reform bill right now; if they will stress this message: By immediately raising taxes, this bill will sink our already struggling economy.
If media-prominent Republicans emphasize that single crystallized point, the political pressure on wavering Democrats in the House to vote no will increase enormously. Factually, the bill legislates massive new taxes on personal incomes and on medical devices & services: all of which go into effect immediately upon the bill’s passage. RAISING TAXES DURING A RECESSION will obviously hurt the economy. (Which is why Democrats have not dared attempt a tax increase despite controlling both chambers of congress.) So as unpopular as this ugly bill already is, it can be made much more so with simple clarion emphasis that: the bill is instant poison to an ailing economy.
The American people already hate what the bill stands for (the rotten substance of the bill) as well as they hate the corrupt process that has produced it. Now it needs to be branded into the national psyche that passage of the bill will straightaway cause personal financial harm to everyone. The ball game will be over if Republicans will simply apply immense pressure to that one crippling point. (They can use the new CBO numbers coming out on the reconciliation/fix-it bill as a fresh predicate to sound the alarm.)
Imagine variations of the following sound bites issued from media-prominent Republicans: “If the Health Care Takeover Bill becomes law, our taxes instantly go up, and it will make one of the worst recessions we’ve ever experienced much worse. Everyone knows you don’t raise taxes during a recession.” Or how about: “There’s something else Democrats aren’t telling you which is that this bill suddenly raises taxes in the middle of a recession. And you can’t do that and expect the economy to recover.”
Note that this is not the same as arguing that the added deficits this bill is certain to generate will be unsustainable in the long run. That’s the “Generational Theft” message which has been lucidly conveyed and has resonated with the American public. So severe concern has been raised… about the future. But the argument that the bill will also do serious harm to TODAY’S jobs and to TODAY’S fragile economy has yet to be forcefully made. – And this is the checkmate move that is needed during the endgame this week.

Nothing on any of the C-SPAN channels.
This time we fight domestic tyranny.
Wish I could be there, but I need money now to help in earnest later.
Fox news just showed Rep. Steve King speaking. They almost broadcast a complete sentence spoken by him.
Please ask them which religions are covered in the religious exemption mentioned in Section 1402(g)(1) and what provisions people practicing such religions are exempt from. Health Care? Education?
Specfically.
Thank you.
