I hope all will pardon the vanity post.
Just a suggestion: In addition to calling the undecided, we also need to be calling those who've decided to vote no - particularly some of these Democrats like Davis and Tanner who are now saying "no" - and THANK them for doing what's right for our country.
Not only these, but ANY Democrat who is voting "no." It's easy for the Republicans to cast a "no" vote. Not so easy for the Democrats as they are going against their entire party leadership and "their" President.
These people will also be coming under TREMENDOUS pressure to flip back. We need to even out that pressure with our sincere thanks.
Here's a link to a CNN count of who's in and who's out. I've seen another such page somewhere but at the moment I don't remember where. Maybe someone can help us out here.

If you have links to contact info, that would be good too.
excellent idea!
Thank them for something they should have done in the first place?
Hell No.
I have an idea. How ‘bout we leave the phone lines open so those who are trying to call and get a no vote are able to do so?
Zack Space
Teague
Lynch (MA)
Altmire OH
Barrow
Tanner
Nye
We thanked many in person yesterday.
Right now I’m am sooooooo ticked off at Nasty Pelousy! I can’t STAND that woman!
Thank them with money for their re-election campaigns. I understand that the SEIU and SOROS are going to be funding big-time to defeat them.
Let’s send every Democratic No voter a dollar. Help them with our pocket books. Thanks are nice, dollars are nicer.
Aren’t some voting no because it’s not socialist enough?
Not “thanks” from me until he’s on record voting NO.

Thanks for the good idea, John.
If you have trouble getting through, use the above
Great idea.....
I can no longer maintain the illusion that calling Democrats will have an effect on their voting decisions.This was decided long ago,they are just going through the motions.
Bingo!
I might add, I would go along with this only if this thing is killed today.
At this point I don’t care why they are voting NO, they can be voting NO because in their minds its not radical enough for them, just voting NO I will be very grateful to them. If this bill were so wonderful, every Democrat would be voting yes, the fact that the Democrats are fighting amongst themselves for the votes just shows what a horrible bill this is, they can’t even get those in their own party to support it
“Aren’t some voting no because it’s not socialist enough?”
Probably.
I’ve said before that they will hit the 216-217 and that will be that. They will leave the rest to vote ‘no’ for cover. The plan would be so that they will be applauded by the opposition like you want to do.
No, absolutely not. Had they all voted no a long time ago we would be free of this mess. They all have to go, but Soros and his machinations will make it very very hard to do so no matter what.
If it doesn’t pass I will change my mind. I still wouldn’t back them monetarily in a primary. I would rather see a whacko liberal win and get trounced by a Conservative. If it’s a case between a lib and the no vote Dem, then I’ll pick them. ONLY if it doesn’t pass.
You MUST be joking.
Thursday I called Oklahoma Rep. Dan Boren’s office in Muskogee to thank him for his no vote. I got an answering machine saying the office was closed and if it were an emergency, to call his McAlister office. I called the McAllister office and got a message that I needed to call his Muskogee office. The future of health care.
Thank 'em anyway!!!
Another proposal: Ping people you know are taking action to this thread.
