Blue Dogs

Blue Dog Democrats have an opportunity right now to block the new health care bill from going to the House. According to Rep. Mike Ross, a leading negotiator for the “conservative” Democrats has said that the legislation does not contain needed reforms to control expenditures in the health care system. A version of the bill is being discussed in the Energy and Commerce Committee, where there is 36 Democrats, 23 Republicans, and out of those, eight Blue Dog Democrats are willing to block the bill. If you do not wish the government to run your health care, and force you to invest in something you already pay for yourself, or through your employer, then the time to act is now. The debt our country will sustain will deepen our future generations into financial obscurity if this bill succeeds.

Call 202-225-3121 and tell the Energy and Commerce to vote NO!
