WE CAN STILL DEFEAT THIS BILL.

The bill pushed by Obama, and passed by leftist Democrats in the House, is NOT getting the full support of every Democrat in the U.S. Senate; and without all 60 of those votes, they will NOT be able to pass the NEXT cloture vote coming up soon... Which means that we can STILL defeat it there -- IF we can overwhelm every Senator with our demands to STOP it!


Harry Reid has now introduced what is called his “manager’s amendment” -- the “secret deal” that will serve as a substitute for the decoy that was the 2,074-page bill the Senate has been debating for the past three weeks. So is this bill any better?


NO IT STINKS:


The bill slashes hundreds of billions from Medicare to fund a new government program - cuts to hospitals, nursing homes, and hospices that care for our seniors – cuts that a pair of Senate Democrats voted repeatedly to reject.


The bill includes massive tax increases on American families and businesses at a time of double digit unemployment.


The bill breaks the President’s pledge that no American earning under $250,000 would see their taxes increase under this plan….a pledge that five Democrats voted to uphold just last Tuesday.


The bill allows for the funding of abortions, violating the longstanding policy of the Hyde amendment. The language is significantly weaker than Nelson-Stupak amendment which seven Senate Democrats and 64 House Democrats supported.


The bill includes a massive new entitlement -the CLASS Act - which the Democrat chairman of the Budget Committee described as a Ponzi scheme. A bipartisan majority (including 11 Democrats) voted to strike the CLASS Act -- and they should withhold their support.

The bill will impose massive burdens to many states at a time when states are already struggling. At the same time, it gives special treatment to a select few states, so that taxpayers in Virginia, Arkansas, and Ohio, will pay higher taxes to subsidize the Medicaid programs of favored few (Nebraska Massachusetts, and Vermont).


We MUST NOT lose this fight. Harry Reid STILL does not have all 60 votes he needs to enact cloture and force a vote on his bill -- but you can BET he’s doing everything he can to GET those final one or two! If we can STOP him from getting them -- that means THE BILL WOULD DIE! We CAN still win, by keeping the Democrats from getting the 60 votes they need on the next cloture vote, scheduled for MONDAY MORNING AT 1:00 AM... but we can't do it without YOUR help!


TELL THE SENATE TO REJECT SOCIALIZED HEALTH CAREBETTER KNOWN AS "OBAMACARE": SEND YOUR FAXES NOW!


TAKE ACTION: Here is the “Countdown To America’s Doom” that we MUST STOP:

-- MONDAY, DEC 21st -- 1 am -- Cloture vote on manager's amendment 
(this is Reid’s “secret deal” that will serve as a substitute for the decoy that was the 2,074-page bill the Senate has been debating for the past three weeks)

--TUESDAY, DEC 22nd --7 am -- Cloture vote on full substitute bill

--WEDNESDAY, DEC 23rd -- 1 pm -- Cloture vote on overall bill

--THURSDAY, CHRISTMAS EVE -- 7 pm

-- Final passage vote on health care reform -- THEY ONLY NEED 51 VOTES TO PASS IT THEN!

DON’T GET DISCOURAGED --

From the Desk of:
David Martin, Executive Vice President
Media Research Center

Liberal media bias on ObamaCare is threatening to tip the
scales in the health care debate.

In fact, what the media are reporting does not even resemble
what Congress and President Obama are pushing.

Our staff at the Media Research Center -- founded by Brent
Bozell -- has examined 224 stories about health care on the
three broadcast networks' morning and evening shows and what
we discovered was shocking.

The MRC has uncovered in explicit detail how the media
have ignored the massive cost estimates of the health care
proposals, perpetuated myths about the number of
uninsured Americans, and failed to draw the connection
between Obama's "public option" and the out of control
spending we've experienced with Medicare.

I want you to have access to this Special Report -- called
"Uncritical Condition" -- and I also want you to have an
opportunity to HELP ME STOP the liberal media's bias on health care.
