There is a good list of Health Care reform swing votes for us to target and pressure in a ‘Daily Caller’ article today. I’ve copied and pasted those swing votes into this blog entry. If we can hold these fools off until Easter break, we will then be able to pressure many of them in person.

As you are able, write, call, email, fax.
The more of us they hear from, the more pressure they feel.

Many of you already know of the I Refuse postcard, which is good option also.
Many thousands have been downloaded since mid January of this year.

#1 The Stupak gang: (as noted in the article, it would be near impossible for HCR to pass if this bloc of 14 persons were to vote ‘No’.)

#2 Possible vote switchers: The following 16 voted ‘No’ the first time around but are currently under pressure from their leadership to switch their vote to ‘Yes’.

They need to feel the pressure from the American people more than the pressure from their leadership.

Hear Us Now has begun a new project which we are calling “I Refuse”. Nationalized Health Care/Socialized Medicine is on the verge of becoming a reality in America. "Opting" out is not an option… you will be fined no less than $3,800 if you haven’t private insurance (private insurance will eventually vanish under the current legislation). I WILL REFUSE to participate in any Nationalized Health Care/Socialized Medicine program.

We are seeking no less than five individuals (perhaps more) who would like to be part of a committee to assist in taking this project to a influential level.

The current needs are research, planning and project direction.

Please email Keith or Brian if you are interested and would like more information about volunteering.

The Recess Rally letters are available for download.

The letters can be downloaded in either Microsoft Word or as a PDF.

There are two versions of the letter for each Congress person.

Two for Jared Polis, Ed Perlmutter and Diana DeGette.

Please download as many as you like and bring them signed to the Recess Rally.

You may also of course, write your own personalized letter.

A limited number of extra letters will be available at each rally for those who are unable to print from home.

If you are unsure of the Recess Rally details such as time an location click HERE.

See you at the Rally!

The current Drudge Report headline reads:

RETREAT: TEAM OBAMA DROPS ‘PUBLIC OPTION’

Don’t believe it.

There is no way Obama has abandoned anything.

He and his administration may have placed single payer on the back burner where they will let it sit and simmer, but be sure it has not been abandoned.

We’d not want to forget these words spoken by Barack Obama.

I happen to be a proponent of  a single payer, universal health care plan.[…]

Everybody in, no body out, a single payer health care plan, universal health care plan. That’s what I’d like to see.

But as all of you know, we may not get there immediately.

They may have changed course but the destination remains the same.

Yahoo News

President Barack Obama’s administration signaled on Sunday it is ready to abandon the idea of giving Americans the option of government-run health insurance as part of his ambitious health care proposal.

Facing mounting opposition to the overhaul, administration officials left open the chance for a compromise with Republicans that would include health insurance cooperatives. Such a concession is likely to enrage his liberal supporters but could deliver Obama a much-needed win on a top domestic priority opposed by GOP lawmakers.

However, encouragement can be taken from this change in course.

It is an indication that the pressure applied has had effect.

The administration has had to ‘change it up’ several times now and this is just the latest ploy to make “reform” seem to be something other than what it really is.

This latest change is nothing more than using words to camouflaging their intentions.

Their intentions have not changed and our efforts to stop them should not cease.
