Guest guest Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 Dear Friends,  This is important.  The email below is sent by friend Michael Baybak, who in turn was forwarding an email from Grassfire, a conservative activist organization.  I am not sending it to endorse Grassfire. I am sending it because there is some important information contained in the email about the current status of the health care bill - essentially, that those favoring the bill are flooding Congress with phone calls and faxes.  WE MUST DO THE SAME, BUT IN GREATER VOLUME.  As many of you know, the so called Health Care Reform bill is pregnant with a host of Orwellian psychiatric programs designed to turn America into a full blown therapeutic state.  I kid you not.  I am not going to list them all. You have likely seen them before, and at this point, we simply need a MASSIVE outpouring of opposition to the bill.  In the email below, Grassfire provides a link that they have set up to fax members of Congress. It is fast and convenient. However, they charge a fee to handle all of the faxing. By all mean use them if you chose.  That said, a simple click of the mouse can take you to www.Congress.org Dead in the middle of the home page is a space that enables you to find your legislators by simply inserting your zip code. You can then access the phone, fax and email data right there.  I can't tell you how very important it is for you to contact your legislators on this -- phone or fax is best (email if you must, but it is the less effective).  This is a very short, process. You call. You say, I am a constituent and would like to talk to the staff person dealing with the health care bill. You will be transferred (or possibly the receptionist will take the data). You may get the person or you may get voice mail. In any case, your message is very simple. You are a constituent of the Senators (or Representative) and you are calling to voice your STRONG opposition to the healthcare bill.  That's the main message. You can add specifics if you chose --  “I don't want the government forcing me or anyone to have to buy health insurance.† “The country cannot afford this. The most conservative estimate is that it is going to cost a trillion dollars and you are going to raise taxes to pay for it. Stop this uncontrolled spending.† “It is full of intrusive mental health programs that will sky rocket costs because those services are based on subjective determinations.† (The Grassfire email makes reference to a Bennet Letter. I would not get into that. Use one of the above or your other personal views you may have on the bill.)  You can use any of these or, again, just, "I want the Senator to know that I am strongly opposed to the Health Care Bill. It's not what the government should be doing. She should vote, ‘No.’"  If you fax, same thing.  In either case, you should contact both of your Senators and you Congressman / woman.  Three calls or faxes. Total of the calls would take you perhaps 5 minutes.  One more very important thing, please get this out to anyone and everyone you know. We must generate a tsunami of opposition to this bill.  We cannot let this pass – not on our watch!  You can fax over the weekend, but if you are going to call, call on Monday. Don’t delay. Don’t put it off.  Best, Bruce   Michael [mbaybak (AT) nrinvestor (DOT) com] Friday, March 05, 2010 5:57 PM Michael Hill phones "going crazy" supporting ObamaCare  From the Desk of: Steve Elliott, Grassfire Nation  The "public option" is a real threat and liberal activists are flooding Capitol Hill. See below. --Steve  Michael,  I just received word from a trusted contact on Capitol Hill that the Left's strategy of flooding Congress with "Pro ObamaCare" phone calls is working.  "We just left [a member of Congress'] office and while we were waiting, their phones were going crazy demanding" support for health care and to sign on to the Bennet letter committing to voting for reconciliation. The Bennet effort is to give Pelosi air cover for the House vote.... Get everyone you can to call or fax or email."  The "Bennet letter" refers to a letter from Sen. Michael Bennet of Colorado which urges Majority Leader Reid to use BUDGET RECONCILIATION to pass ObamaCare WITH THE PUBLIC OPTION.  In other words, the Bennet letter is designed to send a message to House Democrats that the House version of the bill with the public option will be included in the final (real) ObamaCare bill using reconciliation.  And reports indicate the Bennet Letter already has 33 signers!   + + Odds of ObamaCare passing are rising  This contact also relayed the following on the prospects of ObamaCare passing...  "The person who has been our main contact said...last week she would have thought 20% [likelihood of ObamaCare passing] now thinks 50%.... They also have polling data that each piece of health care reform when polled line by line has support and that Americans will love it after they do it. My sense is that we really need the TEA party to bombard the House members or this is going to happen."  + + Two Key Actions  #1 -- Send faxes right now  Even if you've done so already...  You can use our FaxFire system to send this message right now to your two Senators, your Rep AND the President -- and MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD! Go here to schedule your faxes:  http://www.grassfire.net/r.asp?U=25729 & CID=122 & RID=23112138  (As always, we provide all the information for you to send your own faxes if you prefer. Just click the above link.)  #2 -- Call your Senators and Representative  Again, it appears the President's grassroots strategy is working. If you want your voice to be heard, please call...  Be sure to tell your Senators what you think about the "Bennet Letter" calling for reconciliation and the public option.  If you have already sent faxes, thank you! And thanks for going the extra mile right now with more faxes and phone calls. Thank you for all you do as part of the Grassfire Nation.   Steve Elliott Grassfire Nation  P.S.
