The Blue Dog Democrats (self-described as fiscal conservatives, and some are somewhat socially conservative as well) are beginning to jump ship on Obamas monster health scheme. Lets give them every possible encouragement.
Here's the official list of Blue Dog Democrats. The links will take you to their EMail Communication Form pages. (Ill get the rest soon: Im workin on it.)
Keep in mind that they rightly make a priority of responding to people in their own districts. If you have any pretext for using an address in their particular state (e.g. your mama lives in their district) please do so: youll get a higher level of attention.
Following this list is a sample letter I offer for your consideration.
Now go get em!

Dear Representative,
I urge you to vote AGAINST the so-called Health Care Reform which would
Any solution must increase, not decrease, vigorous competition among private insurance and healthcare providers. Only competition provides effective pressure for greater efficiencies. Only competition ensures that services will be provided in the way, the amount, and the manner that we, the people (the "health consumers") actually want. The proposed health-care public insurance option is a major threat to every family's ability to make decisions about health and disability, life and death.
But --- government health care?
With all the efficiency of FEMA and all the compassion of the IRS?
Please. Just Say No.
I don’t know if you are going after Senators, but Mary Landrieu of Louisiana should be a target. Some say she is lining up against ObamaCare...
I live in Moore’s district and he knows exactly how I feel about the health care proposals. I’d say the odds of him supporting the president on this are about 60:40, maybe more since his seat is safe. But if enough people make their displeasure clear then that may push him into opposition.
Nuther thing to metion to these congess critters. Unlike judges, they do not have a lifetime job and possibly after the very next election cycle, they might find themselves out here with the rest of us peasants and enjoying the “benefits” of obamacare. AFAIK, congress critters do not get lifetime care as presidents enjoy.
Great Poster Material:
Government Health Care
Efficiency of FEMA
Compassion of IRS
Just Say NO.
Sent your letter to Representatives with a little editing to my local newspaper’s letters to the editor.
