Dear :
This is rather inside the baseball, but it is also very important.
The Senate is about to vote for cloture on S. 1776. This legislation is the first vote in the Obamacare battle on the floor of the Senate.
Basically, the bill would bribe the doctors' lobby into supporting Obamacare to the tune of three-quarters of a trillion dollars. It will drive up the deficit and it is how the Democrats have been able to claim their health care legislation barely drives up costs.
Unfortunately, some Republican Senators who say they will vote against S. 1776 do support calling for cloture, i.e. cutting off debate.
But the media is reporting the Democrats do not have the votes on their side for cloture. Any Republican who supports cloture is, in effect, assisting the Democrats in passing Obamacare.
CALL YOUR SENATOR RIGHT NOW. TELL HIM TO OPPOSE CLOTURE ON S. 1776:

IF WE LOSE THIS BATTLE, OBAMACARE WILL MORE LIKELY THAN NOT BECOME A REALITY
