94 House Democrats have signed the Polis-Pingree letter calling on the Senate to pass the public health insurance option through "reconciliation," which only needs a simple majority to pass the Senate.
Here is the list of supporters.
If your Rep is not on the list, please contact him or her today!
Do you have a realiable source on this, not a blog?
LOL!
If they want the Bill passed, all they have to do is pass the Senate version.
The Senate isn't going to touch this.
I can’t wait to call his office this november and tell him to get the HELL out. He lost.
I am sure these are from safe districts.
They want the other Democrats to slit their political wrists.
I have been saying the exact thing!
If they had the votes, they would pass the Bill, it is that simple.
All of this is grandstanding for their Left base to give them hope before Scott takes office.
As time ticks away, it is far less likely that anything will be attempted with this Bill.
Even the Democrats know the American People don't want it and many of them come from competitive districts.
“I hope someone campaigns against Llord Dogsh!t (TX-25) and uses ObamaCare to beat him over the head with it.”
There are two candidates in the March 2nd primary. Donna Campbell and George Morovich. I’ll be voting for Dr. Campbell.
Not all of them. Schauer is in a very conservative district. However, he is just an idiot that does whatever Nazi piglousy tells him.
Maybe the districts have the most vocal constituents per acre or something, and it speaks of activism ratber than likely votes.
What fortheDeclaration says makes sense, actually.
Right! Didn't think about that!
Safe districts, you mean like Ted Kennedy's old seat.
Oh, wait........
Wow after Brown’s election Weiner was on Imus saying that health care reform had to wait. What a poser.
If they pass it for US, then THEY should be on CommieCare, as well. No reason they should get the *elite* treatment, while the rest of us get the socialized treatment. Let them wait a year for their gallbladder surgery or whatever, just like the rest of us will have to.
Actually some of the crazy leftists aren’t yet on board—so the number will probably continue to grow. (E.g. Pete Stark)
Unfortunately, Chris Murphy is 'my' congressman. He's an acolyte of the corrupt, soon-to-be-retired Connecticut Senator Christopher Dodd, a man he once served as an intern and has publicly praised. Murphy is your standard-issue hack Democrat politician that gets by with being a mediocrity because the robots in his district vote 'Democrat' no matter what name is on the ballot. He clearly casts his vote for whatever he's told to vote for by Pelosi and the DNC.
This latest scheme to try and ram socialist medicine down the throats of Americans that clearly don't want it looks like an Obama administration-directed ploy and of course, Representative Christopher Murphy isn't going to buck his masters. So, he signs his name to this letter.
I suspect that Chris Murphy is one of these Democrat congressmen that is supposed to have a 'safe' seat. Not for long. I can't wait until the November elections to see hacks like Murphy finally thrown out of office by an angry voting public that has been aroused and is now determined to 'clean house' in November.
Okay, well, then they should get elected to the Senate and try that trick.
Good luck with that, commies.
I worked with Sam in the first Rowland campaign. He is one of the best of the potential candidates to win a Senate seat; unfortunately not this year.
GGGRRRR! Ourrep last week just announced he would vote against final passage but there is his name on this letter. He is obiviously not a bluedog and I plan to make it known that he has signed this!
I emailed Niki Tsongus and informed her that Scott Brown took her district big a few weeks ago and she should start packing her stuff cause come Nov. she will be out of a job!
Only 94. LOL
Now with 107 signers!
BUMP
