I meant to say keep up the debate, keep up the protests.

THIS IS NOT THE IMPORTANT VOTE!!!!!!!!

The news media has hyped this all out of proportion. There has to be TWO 60 votes. One now to START debate. One later to END debate. The 2nd one to END debate is the true cloture vote. That is the one that counts. NOT THIS ONE. The Republicans could all vote for this one, it doesn't matter.

It is an important vote. They are advancing the deathcare bill. Why let it get any closer?

Statistically, 97% of the votes that start debate are passed. This is because it allows amendment to the bill and the cutting of deals. This is the best chance we have to stop it.

Please quit spreading your false information. If you listened at all to any of the Conservative Senators this week on talk radio you would know this is an important vote. Now is where they needed to stop it. Now.
