Tell them how disappointed you are that such a huge tax can pass in the middle of a severe economic downturn, especially one based upon pseudoscience. Tell them you don't want to be shackled by “Green Shirts” who want to control every aspect of your being. Tell them that while you don't consider yourself a single-issue voter, that you do consider this issue to be of paramount importance. Ask them again to kill this bill if they get another chance.
Why?
(1) The House needs to be constantly reminded that anger over the handling of this issue will not subside; and that the consequences of being on the wrong side of the voting public are far more lasting than being on the wrong side of Pelosi & Rahm.
(2) They talk. The delegations, I mean. The reps are quite likely to remark to their Senate colleagues that they are still receiving a ton of angry correspondences from the constituents. This will have an impact, trust me. And they talk all the time.
(3) The House bill cannot pass the Senate. If some form of it does pass, it'll be referred to a conference committee, who will send it back to both chambers for an up or down vote. So if the insanity continues, the House will again see this heinous legislation.
So keep up the drumbeat. As the Presidents numbers fall, he loses arm-twisting ability. Your ability to influence the debate becomes greater.
