AFA of PA ACTION ALERT     

December 21, 2009

Issues  (check corresponding number in ‘Details’ and ‘Action’ Sections)

1.)    Health Care Update

2.)    Sign This Petition

3.)    Yet Another Proposed Strategy!

4.)    A gift from God?

Details

1.)  At 1:08 a.m. this morning the vote for cloture on the Senate health care bill passed with the minimum number of votes needed – 60. All Democrats and Independents voted for it and all Republicans voted against cloture.   Remember the 2,000 –plus page bill is attached as an amendment to H.R 3590, Service Members Home Ownership Tax Act of 2009.  I have received many reports from folks on this alert list that they were not able to get through to any of Senator Casey’s offices to leave a message over the weekend.  One person called all the numbers and was only able to get through to the Pittsburgh and Bellefonte offices to leave a message.  Either his voice mail was really full in all the other offices or the phones had been turned off.  I will not venture a guess, but you can come to your own conclusions on that one.  But we still have an opportunity NOW to contact his offices to give him our opinion on so-called health care reform.  Pray that Senators’ eyes will be opened to the dangerous door they are about to step through with socialized health care. 

2.)  Former Governor Mike Huckabee is holding a rally in DC today.  He wants to deliver at least 25,000 signatures on a petition asking Senator Ben Nelson  to vote no on that final cloture vote

3.)  Another strategy has been thrown out there that has potential.  If you can’t get through to Senator Casey’s office, call your local radio, TV or newspaper outlet and express your outrage at not being able to contact your elected representative to voice your opinion on the health care bill.  Perhaps they will then cover the story.

3.)  Days before Christmas, archaeologists today unveiled what they said were the remains of the first dwelling in Nazareth that can be dated back to the time of Jesus

Action Steps

1.)    There is at least one more critical vote that will require 60 votes for cloture; if we can convince at least ONE of the anticipated 60 ‘yes’ votes to vote ‘no’ this bill would be dead.  So, as Pennsylvanians, let’s target our “pro-life” Senator – Bob Casey, Jr.  Here’s his contact info again.  Please contact his DC office and the district office nearest you; if you can’t get through to those numbers, keep calling till you get through to one of his offices. Ask him two things: 1.) Have you read the entire bill?  2.) Would you and your family be willing to drop the insurance coverage you have as a US Senator and be covered under this proposed plan? 3.)  After asking these questions, then simply ask him to vote “NO” on the health care bill.
