Coburn Backs Off Threat to Read Health Care Bill in Senate The Oklahoma lawmaker says there's uncertainty about whether reading the bill during Thanksgiving week would be productive. WASHINGTON -- Republican Sen. Tom Coburn is backing off his threat to require that the Senate read the 2,074-page health care bill because some GOP colleagues aren't supporting the effort. The Oklahoma lawmaker said there's uncertainty about whether reading the bill during Thanksgiving week would be productive. He also said that if the Republicans do decide to tie up the Senate for the dozens of hours it would take, six GOP colleagues have committed to pitching in on reading duty.

Coburn also said in an interview with The Associated Press that he questions whether Americans who might be listening in would understand a line-by-line reading. Coburn, who is a doctor, said he wants Americans and other senators to know what's in the bill.

Call Senator Lieberman, Landreau, Nelson, Dorgan, and Byah.

[LifeComesFirst]

I suggest only calling your local Senators, out-of-state calls might persuade a Senator that the only people who care about reading the bill are out of state and can’t vote for him or her anyway.

I think the authors of this monstrosity should be required to read it -- and explain each paragraph as they do. (You know, the paragraphs that read like a scavenger hunt; Paragraph I, Section 1255 supercedes Section III of the Title II, subtitle A -- which has it's own redirections)

Ok -- before anyone goes looking, I made up the details, but if you've tried to read this thing, you get the gist.

Don't waste your time on Bennet, he's to the left of zero.

If you call anyway, tell his office drones you'll contribute the maximum to any of his opponents, primary and general.
