At an outdoor rally today, the president described the health-care debate as a referendum on the “character” of the country, and I do believe he was correct.
The president is pushing legislation that a clear majority of the people dislike, and whose details neither he nor his supporters can explain in simple language. Its ends-justify-the-means passage will require legislative gymnastics that border on the unconstitutional, and in Orwellian fashion are designed to reassure its sheepish supporters that they can appear not to be voting for the bill they vote for. And to achieve a House majority, Obama must offer an array of personal favors, political payoffs, federal stipends, and open threats, which, if done in the private sector, would be actionable acts of felonious bribery or racketeering.

Dems... don’t... care...
Government Health Care:
The efficiency of the Post Office
The customer service of the DMV
and the compassion of the IRS
And to achieve a House majority, Obama must offer an array of personal favors, political payoffs, federal stipends, and open threats, which, if done in the private sector, would be actionable acts of felonious bribery or racketeering.

I believe that they are actionable in the public sector too, as they are illegal in the public sector also.
Not so much a referendum on the character of the country as a referendum on the character of the government.
“the president described the health-care debate as a referendum on the “character” of the country,”
More accurately it’s a referendum in the intelligence of the country-with 56% now against the healthcare bill, one can only wonder what th’ heck is wrong with the other 44%!!
Another FReeper's tagline might have said it best. It read (and I paraphrase) "few men desire liberty. Most men only want a master".
The other 44% are on the receiving end of government largesse, and want more of it.
The democrats are kidding themselves if they think the Slaughter solution will get them off the hook. They are exposing themselves to be the Nazi scumbags they truly are. It’s time to throw every single democrat out of office, whether their term is up or not.
One horrible side-effect of all this is that, no doubt, a whole new slew of ethics laws and regulations are going to descend upon those of us ordinary people who work for the government. It happens every time a politician is caught egregiously and blatantly engaged in unethical and illegal behavior. We're the modern-day whipping boys, taking the punishment because God forbid the prince should ever be punished for his misbehavior.
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. Hammer the Medicare/SS issue, nothing like mad grannies and gramps.
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.
