Don't sit back patriots...Time to act now!

I am pleading with you all again to go to the link provided in this email to call all or some of these representatives. We really should be doing this every day! This is a good site to give us good ideas and it gives suggestions on who to call regarding Obamacare.

******Scroll down to see the link and the names of the important people to call.**********

LETS NOT GIVE UP - THAT'S WHAT THEY WANT US TO DO

Healthcare Action Alert
President Obama wants Healthcare to be passed before Spring Break..meaning by March 18th. They do not want a repeat of the August Town Hall meetings. We need to act NOW!!!! President Obama, Speaker Pelosi and Sen. Reid know the longer the vote is prolonged, the greater chance we have to stop it. They are pressing really hard to bring it to a vote as soon as possible. They must believe that if the bill passes, all the passion against this bill will die and we will just go away. This will not happen because we will work to repeal it if it passes.
But, in the meantime, we must work to defeat this bill.

Obama urges Dems to seize moment on health care
Howard Dean: Health bill hangs Dem incumbents and Obama out to dry in elections
We must make our Congressional Representatives understand that if they ram this bill through and it passes, the fight will not be over. It will be just beginning. They need to realize that if this bill passes, they will see us protesting at their townhalls and any public event they attend. We will not stop! There is a Winston Churchill quote that is applicable to this fight. This is the attitude we must have in this fight.
"We shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender."
Let the Healthcare March Madness Begin!!!

Below, you will find some ideas that you may find useful to use in this fight. You can select which ones, if any, you or your group will use.

1. Calls.
Make phone calls and send faxes to the House members listed below. The ones in red are a high priority.

2. Petitions.
Tea Party Patriots will has a Stop Reconciliation Petition up on our web site. Sign it and encourage others to sign it. We will print it off and hand deliver to Congress.

3. Rallies & Candlelight Vigils:
Host a rally and/or candlelight vigil outside your representative's LOCAL offices.
We must host these events as often as possible. Daily is a good idea and can be done as follows:
Some groups are doing rallies and a repeat of what we did in August. Some members held daily protests outside the local offices. NO not huge events, but daily events with at least 10 - 20 people. We did two shifts a day, Monday through Thursday from 8:30 to 10:00 AM and 4:30 to 6:00 PM. This covers the commuters to and from work.
Suggested idea is to have individuals on the street protesting and one by one someone goes up to the office to speak with an office member and/or your representative. At the same time someone else calls the office. We can keep them busy. Deliver to the office a petition (get signed by friends and neighbors), a handwritten letter voicing your complaints about the HC bill and reconciliation, ask for a meeting with your rep or anyone in the office immediately not tomorrow. In other words, keep them so busy with us they are going insane.

The discussion is to do a national day of protest; these are the dates we have heard so far from other groups. Thursday, 3/11, Thursday, 3/18 and Wednesday, 3/24.

4. Sit-in with a twist.
Go to the office of your local rep, request an meeting with them and then wait until you are given that meeting. This can be for several days and you will need to have individuals come and sit in shifts. We cannot disrupt their business day by being noisy, but we can be vigilant and stay there asking for a meeting with our rep.

5. Letter writing campaign.
We MUST send letters to the editors and news stations. If you are sending a letter to the editor, send it to ALL newspapers. Let your voice be heard. Check the Tea Party Patriots web site for bullet points to use in your letters.

6. Get Doctors involved.
If you have any doctors that are interested in getting into the street with you, please ask them to go to the reps offices IN THEIR MEDICAL Coats (just like the Obama's press meeting staged deal).

7. Local talk radio:
Get on the air waves, call into any and every show you can. Let your voice be heard.
Please use this form to give us a link to your blog posts, uploaded photos, videos, and news articles. Email your photos and a write up of your event to photostpp@gmail.com so we may post them.

Questions?
Email these individuals. Please put into the subject line, "Healthcare Action Alert".

(877) 762-8762
Name
District
Competitive race?
Obama-McCain
Junior?
Comment
Bobby Bright
AL-02
Yes
N/A
Blue Dog, Wants balanced budget

Brian Baird
WA-03
Retiring
52-46
No
He's retiring, making him immune to GOP pressure. He recently said he was totally "undecided."

John Boccieri
OH-16
Yes
48-50
Freshman
Boccieri has turned out to be a lesser priority for the NRCC than fellow Ohio freshmen Kilroy and Driehaus. He has recently sounded open to supporting the bill.


Bart Gordon
TN-06
Retiring
37-62
Sophomore
He's retiring, which puts him right at the top of the Democrats' priority list since the GOP can't pressure him with electoral reasons. He is a Blue Dog. A very important detail: He voted for the bill in the Energy & Commerce Committee before opposing it on the floor, which certainly suggests he'd be open to voting for it now.

Larry Kissell
NC-08
Yes
53-47
freshman
Faces a competitive race, though he represents one of the bluest districts among the 39 who voted 'no' in the fall.

Scott Murphy
NY-23
Not for now
51-48
freshman
Murphy looks safer than he did this fall

That leaves us with 18 Democrats whose support for a final bill is plausible, albeit still tough to envision. It will at the least require some very heavy pushing for Pelosi to convince any of these:

Jason Altmire
PA-04
Yes
44-55
Sophomore
Despite a few hints of openness to supporting a bill, he has sounded very hostile to health-care reform and the abortion issue should seal his "no." He's a Blue Dog.

John Adler
NJ-03
Yes
52-47
Freshman
Adler has done his best to position himself as a centrist over the past few months and he is facing a tricky race. Yet, he is less vulnerable than many others on this list and he represents a district that clearly voted for Obama. He should be right at the top of Pelosi's target list.

John Barrow
GA-12
No
54-45
No
Pressure to vote yes
Jim Marshall
GA-8
A tremendous amount of pressure is being levied on Marshall to change his vote.


Allen Boyd
FL-02
In primary
45-54
No
At this point, this Blue Dog has more to worry about in the Dem primary than in the general election. He's a Blue Dog.

Rick Boucher
VA-09
Yes
40-59
No
Boucher looks far more vulnerable now than he did in the fall, which will complicate Pelosi's outreach.

Ben Chandler
KY-06
Probably not
43-55
No
The filing deadline has passed in Kentucky, and while the race could heat up Chandler doesn't have to worry about facing a top-tier Republican. Will this encourage him to vote "yes"? He did support cap-and-trade. He's a Blue Dog.

Tim Holden
PA-17
Yes
48-51
No
He's a Blue Dog, and he is facing his first tough re-election race in some time.

Suzanne Kosmas
FL-24
Yes
49-51
freshman
She has emerged as a fairly centrist Democrat, so I'd be somewhat surprised if she switches; but her district is not as red as others on this list.

Frank Kratovil
MD-01
Yes
40-58
freshman
If Pelosi convinces him that he will lose anyway, perhaps?

Betsy Markey
CO-04
Yes
49-50
freshman
She's a Blue Dog. The Democratic leadership let her be the main sponsor of the bill repealing the anti-trust exemption; might she repay them by voting "yes"?

Eric Massa
NY-29
Probably
48-51
freshman
He is fundraising off his initial vote for health-care, but he is one of the most obvious votes for the leadership to target.

Jim Matheson
UT-02
Probably not
39-57
No
Would be surprised if he votes "yes," but in recent comments he was less hostile than other Blue Dogs. He's a Blue Dog.

Michael McMahon
NY-03
Perhaps
49-51
freshman


Mike McIntyre
NC-07
No
47-52
No
The filing deadline passed in North Carolina, and the GOP failed to recruit a credible challenger despite the district's red lean. Despite McIntyre's conservatism, that alone makes him a target to leadership pressure. He's a Blue Dog.

Glenn Nye
VA-02
Yes
51-49
freshman
He's a Blue Dog, a freshman and he faces a tough race in November - a tough combination for Pelosi. But he also represents one of the few Obama districts on this list, so he is sure to face more pressure than others.

Colin Peterson
MN-07
Probably not
47-50
No
Committee chairman. He's a Blue Dog.

Ike Skelton
MO-04
Yes
38-61
No
He's a Blue Dog. The abortion issue could prevent Pelosi from convincing him.

John Tanner
TN-08
Retiring
43-56
No
His retirement is prompting talk he might be more wiling to help his party, though he looks likely to do so than Baird and Gordon. He's a Blue Dog.
