Right now on Capitol Hill, Harry Reid and his liberal cohorts are locked behind closed doors working on their government-run health care experiment, which the American people have made clear they don't support. However, the Democrats are simply not listening.
The American people support common-sense incremental reforms that will make health care more affordable and accessible, and will protect the doctor-patient relationship without adding to the national deficit. But Democrats aren't interested in that kind of reform. President Obama and Congressional Democrats support a government-run health care system that raises premiums, increases taxes, and cuts Medicare.
You can stop this bill if you take action today. I am personally asking you to call, e-mail, or write your Senators TODAY and tell them to vote against this liberal bill, listen to the American people, and put their full focus on creating jobs and stimulating the economy.

Harry Reid finally thinks he has his caucus in order. He’s cut backroom deals and received verbal commitments from the Senators he needs, including Joe Lieberman and Ben Nelson. Now he’s scrambling to hold a vote on his job-killing “health care” bill before anyone has a chance to change his or her mind. This is a bill that will raise your taxes, not cut them. It will increase the deficit, not decrease it. It will cut Medicare, not preserve it. This bill will cost more than a trillion dollars

This morning, Senator Reid introduced the omnibus amendment to his bill which incorporates all of the last-minute deals he’s been making to get votes. To ram this unpopular bill through as quickly as possible, Reid is planning to ignore the calls

The American people are tuning in to see which Senate Democrat will be called the next “only holdout” in the fight over the Obama-Reid government-run health care experiment. At the beginning of the week, the media said “Sen. Joe Lieberman holds the 60th vote...” Yet after Harry Reid dropped the public option and Medicare buy-in to secure his vote, the media moved on, declaring that “[Sen. Ben] Nelson is the lone holdout…” As of now, Sen. Nelson says he won’t vote for cloture because of concerns
