The Democrat leaders in the Senate plan to use a special parliamentary procedure to shut out dissent and pass healthcare reform with only 51 votes. This procedure is called “reconciliation” and it would prevent Republicans from blocking passage by bypassing the usual 60 votes required to pass a bill. Obama has already tossed aside his promise to work for bipartisan support. He says the ends justify the means and that this bill is too important to get hung up on “process.” Just like his promise of transparency and his promise to exclude lobbyists from his administration, it seems Obama only keeps promises when convenient. In order for this bill to fail all 40 Republican plus 10 Democrats must vote against it. The decks are stacked against us. Unless there is a huge public outcry this bill will pass. Start calling your senators today and don’t stop until this bill is defeated. And, if you have any surgery you’ve been putting off, you better get it now while you still can. LINK
