President Obama wants Congress to ignore Senate rules – and the American people – and use a parliamentary trick called “reconciliation” to make the final backroom deals necessary to push his health care takeover past the finish line. Fortunately, there’s a catch: before the Senate can use reconciliation to force through Obama’s tweaks, the House would have to pass the Senate health care bill. And we must stop them.
Take Action and Stop the Health Care Take Over Now!
The key vote will now occur in the House of Representatives – perhaps within days – and we have to win it. That’s because it’s impossible for the Senate to make changes via reconciliation until after the Senate bill has passed the House. Of course, once the Senate bill passes the House, President Obama will sign it and it will become the law of the land – whether or not the reconciliation trick makes some changes around the edges.
Speaker Pelosi will use every trick in the book to try and find the 217 votes she will need to ram through the health care bill passed “pre-Scott Brown” with 60 votes in the Senate back in December. This will be the key vote.
Contact your member of the House and tell them to vote NO on the corrupt, big government Senate health care takeover bill and tell the Senate Americans do not want this parliamentary trick called “reconciliation.”
