Bye, bye Betsy? Markey says she'll vote for HCR bill. One of the most vulnerable Dems, 56/33 in CO 04 opposed the bill in Chamber poll. 3/18 5:42 P.M. -

[Trteamer]

LOL!
Nice cartoon, Ok if I share it with my buddies?

[American Quilter]

Oh, man. I just e-mailed her yesterday and urged her to vote no.

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.

On the Bubble (Major developments from the “yes” and “no” columns in the House)
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2467046/posts

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!

What I don’t think the Dems appreciate is how destructive this will be for them.

Think about the Colorado gubernatorial and Senatorial races. What about down-ballot?

People will be coming out of the woodwork to vote against these people and none of their colleagues will be safe.

[presently no screen name]

Will get cushy job with Health Insurance or a charity funded by it.

And some scandal will come out about her - to make room for the flavor of the month. They are been deceptive - they don't want to vote yes - but a bribe comes along too good to pass up. So they believe 'the briber/the deceiver' is good for his word. How stupid can some be and still breathe.

You reap what you sow, more than you sow, later than you sow - it's a law that can't be changed.

[Renderofveils]

These get paid off in the “backend”, after they leave office.

IF they leave office.

I think she needs one of them “shovel ready” jobs starting next Jan. :)

Indeed. I just wasted my time faxing Miss Betsy those very thoughts yesterday:

March 17, 2010

[Cat Nipman] [My Address] Longmont, CO 80503

Congresswoman Betsy Markey 1229 Longworth Building Washington, DC 20515

Dear Congresswoman Markey,

Hi, I just tried to call your office in D.C., but your message box was full, and no one was answering the phone. (Surprise, Surprise, as Gomer Pyle used to say!)

I called because I wanted to urge you to vote for the Senate health care bill, as I wish to see the total destruction of the Democrat party for at least a generation.

Since there’s no chance of significant changes being made via budget reconciliation in the Senate, this will be the law of the land. Any promises to the contrary by Obama and his minions are completely hollow and mere attempts at duping naive House members. If you’ve been truly paying attention to Obama’s public statements vs. actual reality, surely you must realize most of what he says are calculated lies. I mean, really, are you going to trust this guy? Once he gets the House to pass the Senate bill, do you really think he or the Senate are going to increase the current fight to a whole new level of animosity to try to push through a bunch of changes that neither he nor the Senate really care about? Why would the Senate change its own bill anyway, and do you really think they want to expend additional energy on such futile attempts and continue to further outrage the public?

At any rate, if the Senate bill does pass the House, massive numbers of outraged voters will inundate the polls this November, sweeping almost every elected Democrat from office at every elective level in most places in our nation. You yourself are already in peril not being re-elected, and suddenly pretending like you’re a Blue Dog isn’t going to get you squat. If you do vote for the Senate bill, surely you must know you have no chance at all of being re-elected, and that your action would simply be an ideological last gasp, with yourself and the entire Democrat party being sacrificed like pawns in a chess game that probably exceeds their own understanding. (BTW, you’re going to have to work extra hard to get enough additional out-of-state union donations to offset donations by outraged voters in your district. Plus, if you look weak enough in the polls, the national Democrats are going to cut you loose anyway, despite any promises Obama may have made to you to the contrary.)

But I digress. I once again urge you to help precipitate the total destruction of the Democrat Party. It will be particularly sweet to me to see absolute control of Colorado by people who are not Democrats. Even better, I expect the Democrats won’t return to power for at least a generation, since it takes that long before people forget how badly Democrats govern.

I’m not rich, I’ve no special interest, and I have not heretofore been particularly active in politics, but I will be contributing several thousand dollars to help do my part in purging Colorado (and other areas of our nation) of elected officials who put ideology before the well-being of our nation’s economy and our citizens. I’ve already put some money on the line, contributing directly to Senator Scott Brown and others, and I truly relish making more such donations in the near future!

(Actually, on second thought, I do have a dog in this hunt. I worked extremely hard all my life, and the only retirement benefit I received was the right to pay to stay on my former employer’s group health care plan for a few years. And guess what? My health care plan would be taxed as a “Cadillac” plan, and I won’t be receiving any part of the 60 billion dollar kickback you’re going to give to your union buddies, either! And me, a retiree, at that! Do you think I can afford that extra tax? Plus, in just a few more years, I’ll be forced onto Medicare, and guess what again? You’re fixing to cut a half a trillion dollars from reimbursements to the very medical providers I’ll be dependent upon. You think maybe a few more of them will all of a sudden quit taking on new Medicare patients, or simply decide to hang up their spurs for good? Oh, and do you really believe that the Cornhusker Kickback, Louisiana Purchase, Gator Aid, and hundreds of other little kickbacks in the Senate bill are good for we taxpayers in good ol’ Colorado Congressional District 4?)

BTW, you might be interested in some of my letters to the editor in the Longmont Times-Call, too. I think I’ll submit a revised version of this one, shortly. You should check it out!

Yours Truly,

[Cat Nipman]

[AmishDude]

Unfortunately, your letter is recorded as “support for the bill” and ignored. It’s very clever and 100% true.

[future F22 pilot]

Ugh, Im in CO4 Ive called her several times, emailed several times, urged everyone I know to do the same. She will lose in November, as everyone has said. I hope she gets the Ben Nelson treatment when she comes back, I want her to feel very unwelcome in her own home.

My family is also very good freinds with the Gardner family (Corey is one of her possible opponents).

Just out of curiousity, does anyone know if she (along with all the other Dems who vote for this) could be federally prosecuted for breaking the constitution. I don't want the bill just challenged, I want these people in jail. It looks like they will break the law and they need to do their time.

[kenny boy]

I glad they are suicidal.

I hope this gets passed, cause I’m gonna help push their asses off the cliff.

[george76]

Betsy Markey gets a SEIU union “hug” on health care.

[taraytarah]

So, behind closed doors, did Pelosi bribe or blackmail this weak link? She can now be labeled with the name TRAITOR, as she is aiding and abetting the Enemy of the United States.

[eekitsagreek]

they are suicidal

When are people going to wake up and realize that when it comes to liberalism, they are willing to sacrifice for a cause. They don't care if they lose because they want to be a part of history. They also believe that the GOP (if and when they get back into power) will not have the balls to repeal (or at least de-fund) this thing.

The GOP better be aggressively campaigning in the months prior to November and make this a referendum on Obama. The public anger will still be there. We should win back the House, and I pray we can win back the Senate. I doubt we will have enough to override Obama's veto. 2012 will be the key when more Dem Senate seats will be up for grabs. If we control all three in 2012 (with a filibuster-proof majority in the Senate), then we should go all-out in not only killing Obamacare, but also the Energy, Labor and Education departments (to name a few). Also, major work needs to be done on Medicare and Social Security.

You have to admire the Dems for their determination (legal or not) to achieve their goals. When will the GOP have that killer mentality? McCain tried to play "Mr. Nice Guy" in 2008 and look what happened.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Barry probably told her she could kiss his feet if she'll vote yes.

Larry, I picked up Patriots History at my local Walmart last Tuesday. They had it displayed front and center in their book department. It appears to be selling great there at that store. There were a lot of them gone already. It's going to be nice to have a REAL history book about the best country that ever existed. Thanks!

Oh God yes, please, it is past time to secede.
