Read the Research Briefing "Will Obama Listen to Americans?"

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.

Sincerely,

The Honorable John Thune of South ... more

Harry Reid's dream of nationalizing one-sixth of the U.S. economy is in danger, and now he's manipulating the system to try to save it. He's twisting his fellow Democrats' arms, declaring the debate over, calling himself the winner, and desperately hoping that his colleagues will let him move on so he can pass his job-killing, tax-raising bill masquerading as health care reform.

Now is the time for action. Harry Reid isn't listening to you, but there are Senators who may be, and they can stop this bill now.  You need to let them know where you stand. Click here for all the tools you need to contact these Senators. Call, write, email - do everything you can to let them know that their first allegiance is to their constituents, not to Harry Reid.

Only you can stop this bill. You've fought an incredible battle. Now finish the job!

If you are opposed to a government-run health care experiment, we need your voice today. For months Americans all across the country have been letting President Obama and Congressional Democrats know that a 2,000 page, $2.5 trillion health care experiment that raises premiums, raises taxes, and cuts Medicare is not the kind of reform they had in mind. But some Democrats don't seem to be listening.

Since November 30th, my Republican colleagues and I have taken to the Senate floor every single day to show the American people exactly what is in the Democrats' health care bill. Through our efforts, we've identified several Democrat Senators who are extremely uncomfortable with the bill. Unfortunately, Democrats have taken their efforts behind closed doors where they are adding and subtracting provisions in a feverish effort to round up enough votes to pass this health care experiment with the support of only Democrat Senators.

This is where you come in - we need your voice. A recent ... more

The fate of Harry Reid’s unpopular health care bill – and his political future – rests in the hands of a few undecided Senators. Reid knows that the only way to get them on his side is to convince them that even if they oppose the will of the people by voting "Yes," you'll soon forget this betrayal and send them back to Washington for another term election time rolls around again.

You know that's just not true. Let them know it, too, by pledging your time, your energy, your money, and your votes to oust them from office unless they listen to you and vote against this massive tax-increase and government power-grab masquerading as health care reform. GOP.com has the tools to help you take action. Call, write, email – do everything you can to let them know that you're not going to roll over for Harry Reid and, if they want to keep their jobs, they shouldn't either.

In the dark of night during a rare Saturday vote, a number of moderate Democrat Senators sacrificed their principles tonight to support the partisan health care bill that Harry Reid created in secret behind closed doors -- a government-run health care plan that increases premiums, increases taxes, cuts Medicare, and allows for taxpayer-funded abortions.

Senator Ben Nelson (D-NE) sold out his conscience by voting for a bill that allows federally-funded abortions. 

Senator Blanche Lincoln (D-AR) sold out her principles by voting for a bill that allows a government-run insurance plan, something she previously said she opposed.

Senator Mary Landrieu (D-LA) simply sold her vote to the highest bidder after Harry Reid added a $100 million earmark just for Louisiana.

I urge you to contact these Senators and tell them that by sacrificing their principles, they risk sacrificing your current health care. Call the Capitol Hill switchboard at 202-224-3121.  Together we can stop President ... more
