A very timely post from http://www.hughhewitt.com/ on stopping Obamacare. You can get the referenced book by clicking here and more interesting articles like this by subscribing to this post here.
Obamacare is indeed in a showdown week, and here are the five things you can do to make sure the Senate leaves for its Christmas break without having moved us one step closer to a disaster for American medicine.
If you are just checking in after a weekend of tree decoration and shopping, here's
2. the latest from Bear in the Woods, and
3. the latest from Banker Guy.
What I need as well are e-mails anonymous lobbyists and association executives, especially those connected with the Obamacare fiasco. How many heads are going to roll in the D.C. offices of Big Pharma and the hospital/AMA worlds when the reality of Obamacare sinks in? Have the fingers begun to point yet? It should never have come this far, but many of the Beltway "professionals" talked their members into believing that the president was an unstoppable force with whom a separate peace was needed. And once on that road, the "professionals" didn't even get a decent deal, like some sort of tort reform.
The lure of accommodation in the Capitol is always strong, but hopefully the professionals and the GOP have learned the only way to win is to fight every step of the way. ReverseTheVote.org is the first effort made by the NRCC or the NRSC to use a specific policy debate to drive political fundraising, and if Obamacare gets out of the Senate, ReverseTheVote.org should be the focus for public support against passage.The first thing to do, though, is to register your own opposition with your own senators and congressman, which the "Take Further Action" button in the "Free Our Health Care" box to your right will quickly assist you in doing.
But if you are a well placed source, send me a note at hugh@hughhewitt.com. As Bear in the Woods and Banker Guy can attest, I will keep your identity safe --I do have to know that you are who you say you are-- and will publish responsible posts without edits. The worlds of advertising and banking are just as remote as those of lobbying, and inquiring minds want to know: What were you thinking?
