Smart Girl Politics Fox News is reporting that Reid has the 60 votes to bring the health care bill to the Senate floor for debate. Debate will not begin until after the Thanksgiving break, so we need to be sure to hit our Senators hard while they are home for the holiday. Call, email and fax their district offices and tell them to keep their hands off our health care!

Living in Illinois, it's so hard to get motivated to call Durbin and Burris. Does it do any good?

Smart Girl Politics Three Democrats could block the health bill in the Senate: Ben Nelson (NE), Mary Landrieu (LA), and Blanche Lincoln (AR). Call their offices now and tell them they are doing the right thing. It is especially important for them to hear from their constituents, so rally your family and friends in Nebraska, Louisiana and Arkansas.

I use http://www.metrohispeed.com/ and fax all the Democrat Senators everyday. It is 12.95 a month for 1000 faxes a month. Well, worth it. Takes a little time to load the fax numbers, but my computer sends out my word doc to their fax machines automatically while I do my chores. So far I have sent out over 400 faxes this week alone. I also target specifics.

So the funds went to the District of Joe Blows bank account? How can we not track this when they can keep track of every penny I spend and on what items at the store? We may as well shoot the money out of a cannon into a crowd!

Smart Girl Politics And so it begins: Harry Reid has filed a motion to introduce the health care bill next Monday, November 16th. The vote to proceed will be a crucial one, as 60 "yeas" are needed; this vote will be a good indicator of how each Senator would vote for the health care bill itself.

Needless to say, it's time to call your Senators and tell them to keep their hands off our health care!

Reid is NOT a good man. Your health care will suffer if this goes through. They want to fine people up to 25,000 dollars if you don't get health insurance. They want to force small businesses to get health care for their employees. Many small businesses will go out of business.

If there was ever a day God intended to be partisan. it is election day. Now get out there and be partisan and vote for conservative candidates that will be responsible caretakers of the people's money. That say no to higher taxation, big government, socialism and BHO.

Patricia-actually there are 11 Texas constitutional amendments to vote on here in Texas today! Even though these issues aren't as say "exciting", they are just as important! One thing I've learned since joining the Tea Party movement is that we've got to get involved in EVERYTHING at ALL levels if we're are going to see real change......and I don't mean the current "hope and change" type. :) Go to Texans for Fiscal Responsibility websight. That'll help you with the amendments.
