Blue Dogs: Still On the Fence On Health Care Reform?

If you love America, gird yourself for an all-out phone and fax fight on Health Care Reform. You know from recent history that Pres. Barack Obama wants health care reform pushed through fast, before Americans have a chance to make their voices heard.

Now is the time to act. Some Blue Dog Democrats are undecided about Health Care Reform and Cap and Trade. A call to (FL) Sen. Bill Nelson’s office today revealed he has not made his mind up on these two issues. Sen. Bill Nelson is waiting to see how Health Care Reform is going be funded, and is waiting to see the final bill details on Cap and Trade, according to his office. Seems like he’s waiting to hear how his constituents want him to vote.

Make your voice heard–get on the phone, and send out letters to your Congressmen via fax. We need to contact a lot of leaders in Washington, not just those who represent our district. We need to contact leaders who represent different parts of America, because the health and integrity of America is at stake.

I’ve written many posts about the perils and huge costs (over $1 trillion now) of Health Care Reform. Other have too, including George Will, who wrote a great post, ‘Americans Will Likely Regret Health Care Fix.’ My friends and fellow Americans, the time to act is not next week or next month. It’s now.

Take a few minutes to make some calls and send some faxes. Here is a list of Blue Dog Democrats, thanks to my friend and fellow blogger Lea Sylvester. These Blue Dog Democrats need to hear how much we Americans don’t want this Health Care Reform, and why. Be nice, and be persuasive.
