It would have been nice if we were celebrating victory on ObamaCare today
-- and could turn our attention to other issues.
This was not to be, however, thanks to House Democrats who campaigned as
"moderates," but in the end, danced at the end of Nancy Pelosi's strings.
Saturday, the House passed ObamaCare by a 220-215 vote. The bill now
goes to the Senate, where South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham -- hardly a
staunch conservative -- has pronounced it "dead on arrival."
We remain convinced that we can and will kill ObamaCare, but only if the
grassroots keep the pressure on.
ACTION: Write your Representative. Thank him -- or reprimand him -- for
his vote on ObamaCare.
You can use the Gun Owners Legislative Action Center at
http://www.gunowners.org/activism.htm to send a pre-written message to your
Representative -- the appropriate e-mail will automatically be sent, based on
how your Representative voted.

----- Pre-written letter to Representatives voting pro-gun -----
Dear Representative:
While I was very disappointed to see that ObamaCare passed, I want to
thank you for your vote against the bill.
Even still, I am disturbed by the games the House leadership has been
playing. The press has widely reported that Nancy Pelosi had given "byes" to a
number of moderate Democrats, who would have voted for ObamaCare had their
votes been needed.
I find it disgusting that there are Representatives who voted "no" on the
bill, but were waiting in the wings to vote "yes if their support was needed.
After all, this legislation is built upon several lies:
* It was a lie that this $1.2 trillion bill came in under $900 billion
and that it will not increase the deficit, once you consider the $210-247
billion companion bill Pelosi's trying to sneak through quietly.
* It was a lie that this bill will not raise taxes on the middle class --
with $160 billion in tax penalties and taxes on everything from wheelchairs to
artificial limbs -- and that Americans will be able to keep the coverage they
currently have under this bill.
* And it is a lie that supporters care anything about the Second
Amendment, given their support of an ObamaCare bill which would put
health-related gun information into a federal registry -- and would allow Obama
to use insurance to go against gun owners, as State Farm and Prudential have
done in the past.
I hope that you will continue to vote against this bill if it comes
before you again.
Sincerely,
---- Pre-written letter to Representatives voting anti-gun ----
Dear Representative:
As far as I'm concerned, your vote for ObamaCare showed you are more
interested in dancing at the end of Nancy Pelosi's strings, rather than
upholding the Constitution and truly representing your district.
This legislation is built upon several lies:
* It was a lie that this $1.2 trillion bill came in under $900 billion
and that it will not increase the deficit, once you consider the $210-247
billion companion bill Pelosi's trying to sneak through quietly.
* It was a lie that this bill will not raise taxes on the middle class --
with $160 billion in tax penalties and taxes on everything from wheelchairs to
artificial limbs -- and that Americans will be able to keep the coverage they
currently have under this bill.
* And it is a lie that supporters care anything about the Second
Amendment, given their support of an ObamaCare bill which would put
health-related gun information into a federal registry -- and would allow Obama
to use insurance to go against gun owners, as State Farm and Prudential have
done in the past.
I intend to let everyone I know -- my friends, my family, my church, and
coworkers -- that you cannot be trusted.
Sincerely,
