Dreier: Democrats 'About 10 Votes Off' from Passage in House

National Review's "The Corner" ^ | March 15, 2010 | Daniel Foster

[Mrs. Don-o]

Madame Wicked-Witch-of-the-West is sky-writing "Surrender Dorothy" with the fumes from her smelly broom, and her Flying Monkeys are arm-twisting dozens of queasy Democritters from coast to coast. DON'T GIVE UP. The wretched Pelosi doesn't have the votes, and we can make double-dog sure it stays that way

ACTION ALERT

With handy, clickable contact information

---

Here's the official Code Red List for the selected HOUSE DEMOCRATS THAT NEED TO BE PUSHED HARDEST.

The clickable links go to their online Message System. You can use the same City, State, Zip, and Area Codes as one of their local district offices (usually listed on the same page) with any street address you want --- you're using local information to get through their spam filter. For Zip+4, use any 4 digits added onto the selected Zip Code.

Write a brief, punchy letter in your Word Program, and cut-and-paste it to one congresscritter after another from the CODE RED LIST.

It is easy to do 15 or 20 of them in an hour.

Each Congressional website also has the phone, fax, and district office addresses for each Representative. Don’t have Fax? www.faxzero.com allows 2 free Faxes per day, available to anyone with internet.

I strongly urge you to phone, fax, and if at all possible, personally visit a District Office. This makes a maximum impression.

Agree. I think that is a brilliant idea on your part.

This should be treated as what it is; a Federal assault on the people and the states.

Legislatures across the land should be meeting in reponse to this.

The ten votes shy prediction jives with the counts of two major anti-Obamacare interest groups I’ve talked to today. However, there are a lot of members who are “undecided” and or just plain hiding. There aren’t 216 no or yes votes yet. It’s tough and the odds are a bit long but we can beat this thing.

Dreier added that that number might be moving in the wrong direction for Democrats.

Great news if true!

“This crap is going to pass so the states better be taking pointers from Virginia.”

AP reports that 37 other states are considering similar legislation. No, I don’t have a link. Was reported earlier on FR.

This is the proper way to defeat deathcare if it becomes law. Leave king obuma standing there with no support and his **** swinging in the breeze.

The next step will be for the states to nullify cap and tax.

[Marine_Uncle]

Thanks for supplying all the info as who can be contacted.

[Mrs. Don-o]

You are very welcome.

[cookiedough]

Thank you for the information.

I’ll get right on it, as soon as I have some more info.

Is it okay to write to people who don’t represent me — will they care?

Is this brief and punchy enough:

Dear So-and-So, I am 100% against the health care bill. Please do not vote for it. If you do, I will not vote for you and will campaign against whoever is running against you. Thank you. Sincerely, Me.

I don’t have a good idea of exactly how to write to these folks.

If you have a more clear “brief and punchy” email to send, I’d appreciate it if you would post it here.

Thanks,
cookiedough

Mike Pence just on Hannity....Said he just gotten in and was all over the state: Indiana is strongly against bill. That he kept hearing folks were getting busy signal when they tried to call..only way to get through is email.

I'd love to see Texas join in, anyone really so VA is not out there alone.

Me too! In fact I would love to see Texas, Olkahoma, followed by 3-4 other western or southern states. Once the number gets to be 8-10 states DECLARING to the 0bozo rats & fed gubmint that they are opting out and WILL NOT PAY into this debacle, it will put enormous pressure on other states who will be forced to shoulder the increased load of 0bozoDebacle spending, to make up the difference. I hope & pray at this time, that this whole 0bozoCrap starts to fall apart, and maybe we can even physcially arrest that 0bozo bastard and frog march he & his fellow demoRAT conspirators into prison or the gallows for treason & high crimes against the U.S.... and for committing fraud against the U.S. for not being a U.S. citizen.

[SelmaLee]

I will not vote for you and will campaign against whoever is running against you.

You need to change this sentence...

[cookiedough]

How? Should I just take it out?

I’m sorry to be so dense.

Thank you,
cookiedough

[SelmaLee]

No, don’t take it out, you just need to change one a word.

Make it clear that you will be campaigning FOR the person who runs against him, not against this person.

[cookiedough]

Okay, thank you. That puts it more positively, for sure.
