Pelosi Bill Passes in the Dead of Night
Details
Well, it took the entire day but Nancy Pelosi was finally able to “convince” enough Congressmen that her ‘Affordable Health Care for America Act” was what was best for the country no matter what over 80% of Americans said. At a little after 11:00 this evening the bill passed by a vote of 220 to 215 – two votes more than what was needed. Thirty-nine Democrats voted ‘no’ and Congressman Joseph Cao of the 2nd District in Louisiana was the lone Republican vote for the bill – but, hey, that makes it bi-partisan!
Action Steps
Click here to see how your Congressman voted – then determine what your message will be to him or her when you call/e-mail. Pennsylvania Democratic Congressmen Jason Altmire and Tim Holden opposed Pelosi and Moveon.org’s threats and voted ‘no’ on the bill. They need to be thanked for their courage. Their opposition will not go unnoticed by House “Leadership.” In addition to contacting your Congressman, please thank Congressmen Altmire and Holden.
