Tom Coburn made it crystal clear earlier today when he said that the GOP would hold ANY administration appointment given to people who vote yes on this bill.

Remember, under the rules of the Senate, a single Senator can hold a single appointment, forever.

Sorry it comes to this, but thank you, Senator Coburn. Now be prepared to DO IT. FOREVER.

Her heart is raging against the Lord since she got called to the Vatican and got her head handed to her by Pope Benedict XVI when he rebuked her for her positions on abortion and misrepresentations on Catholic teachings on the sanctity of life. She is tempting God and headed for a disaster of epic proportions.

No surprise. He’s retiring. Never thought he would do the honorable thing and vote his constituents’ wishes.

'Everyone one of us should all one of Senator Coburn’s office to thank him for standing up to this."

I think guys like Coburn, DeMint, Thune in the Senate and Ryan, Cantor and a few others in the House have done a great job. Boehner has done an great job keeping the House caucus unified, and McConnell has done nothing short of working a miracle to keep both the Maine sisters from defecting - they both wake up every morning FANTASIZING about ways to vote with the Democrats.

If the GOP loses this vote, it wasn't for lack of effort or solidarity, that's for sure.

And Tom Coburn (Senator, OK) promised today that ANY Dem who changed his vote and came up for ANY job would be held up forever and would never see that job.

I think Obama and quite a few other democrats are headed to the same place. They are drunk on their own power and greed. They think they are above the law now. Criminal acts are taking place just under the radar. They will be found out, exposed and removed from office before this is all over.

They are all headed for a mighty fall. It can’t end in any other way at this point.....their high crimes and misdemeanors and gross abuses of power have already been committed. The truth will rise to the surface with God’s help.

You are 100% right on and what you say is confirmation to me. Praise God! Pray for this to happen and read Psalm 94.

Rally your local talk radio host into doing street protest in front of your reps local offices. Try and get the local media to cover it.

This is from a 2007 contact list of congressional aides. Some might not be there any longer, but worth a try. The ones on the one post are senate aides, a few have bounced back, it’s worth the effort to clog up their email system along with the phones, and 1/3rd of these senators are up for re-election.

Mail must be inspected for anthrax.

Contact congressional aides.

Good idea from the bloggers at Hillbuzz:

http://hillbuzz.org/2010/03/17/action-items-march-17th-2010/
They offer specifics and links on how to put pressure on Dem DONORS, who have private numbers for legislators who may have taken their phones off the hook.

Congress may not want to hear from us, but they’ll listen to the money men.

CODE RED Contact list http://www.nrcc.org/CodeRed/targets/
Remember they are all being offered BRIBES for their votes. Ask them how much their bribe price is.
The National Republican Congressional Committee has published a target list on health care. In addition to continuing to contact the five Tennessee Democrat Congressmen, you can go http://www.votervoice.net/link/clickthrough/ext/94697.aspx to contact some of these targets. Much of the talk following Obama’s announcement has focused on how to defeat this second bill through reconciliation, but that is misleading because the first step to defeating Obamacare is not by concentrating on defeating the “fixer” bill but by defeating the Senate bill in the House when it goes to the floor for an up-or-down vote on Thursday, March 18th.

Congressional Dems on Twitter
http://www.arrghpaine.com/congressional-dems-on-twitter

And here are toll-free numbers we can use to call any Senators or Reps.

At the first number below you must wait through a tape recording urging you to tell your Rep or Senator to vote “yes” for the health care bill. Just hang on and when the recording is over, you will get the Capitol operator. Just ask for your Rep or Senator’s office. Then you will either talk to an aid or have the chance to leave a message for him/her to vote NO on the health care bill.

When you use the second number and the Capitol operator comes on, just ask for your Rep or Senator’s office. Every time I use this number I get the Rep or Senator’s answer machine, so it may be set up that way all the time...to go to their answer machine. Either way you can leave a message to vote NO on the health care bill!

We need to use these toll free numbers that have been set up for the health care/ BO supporters and illegals to use! After all they are FREE!
