I called around 11:50 and got through to both Senator's and Congressman. Idiot Senator's from my state(NJ) are for the healthcare. advised the staff member their yes vote is equal to their receiving an unemployment check next election.Congressman is opposed and will vote that way (Lance)

Hi Kimberly, my rep is Gordon (bleh). I don't know if there's any hope for getting a no vote out of him. His office said he's against the bill "as it stands now", which we all know is a cop out. I told them We The People are serious and if he likes his job, he needs to vote NO.

I emailed my reps and senators this morning and then started calling them at noon today. I got through to all of them but the funniest one was to the person answering for Rep. Stupak....I gave her my little speech of talking points and when I finished she said, "You called yesterday didn't you?" hahahaha....I said, "Yea, and I'll call tomorrow and everyday after that until I'm heard!" hahahaha...Pretty soon we'll be on a first name basis!

Oh how funny, I love it. They just don't know what to expect, this kinda of action has not taken place in a very a long time. The last big outcry was Amnsesty, did my duty then and it was stopped. But the Whitehouse press Conf. today C-Span 3 doesn't show that OBASMA looks a bit worried. Announcing AARP endorsed the bill. I watched the House the ast 2 nights, the Republicans do have some very good bills, but haven't been allowed to share they've been shut out. DUH. If blue dogs cow touw to Pelosi it can pass. But then since 1904 House bills have been passed but never amde it any further. Cross our Fingers. Any DEm voting for this will not get the needed votes next yr to stay in Congress.
