An Urgent Message from Dick Morris
Obama and
Pelosi Are Frantic. We Must
Stop Their Desperate Plan to Ram Through
Obamacare.
Utah's lone Democratic Congressman Jim Matheson voted against Obamacare when
it first passed the House last year.
Then the heavens opened up and Obama came forth to nominate his brother Scott
to a federal judgeship.
Will the appointment influence Matheson's vote? Was it a bribe?
The League of American Voters is asking this question in a very
public way through an advertisement it is currently airing on Salt Lake City
television, in the middle of Matheson's district.
The ad poses the question:
"Our Congressman Jim Matheson voted against Obama's health care proposals and
Salt Lake City is saying thanks. He voted against cutting Medicare by $500
billion, against health care rationing, against higher taxes. But then Obama
appointed his brother to a federal judgeship. Some people say it was bribe to
get Jim to change his vote. Was it? We'll be able to tell if Jim now switches
his vote. Hey Jim, we'll be watching!"
This ad, which costs $77,000 to run, is indicative of the hand-to-hand
warfare going in district after district over the health care bill.
The League of American Voters, a group for which I serve as chief
strategist, is at the forefront of efforts to stop Obamacare.
Right now the League -- thanks to generous donations -- is running ads in
eighteen districts of swing Congressmen.
Meanwhile, Pelosi and Obama are frantic.
They are trying to find a way to pass health care in the House without
having, first, to ask Congressmen to vote for the Senate version of the
legislation.
Pro-lifers don't like the abortion funding provisions in the Senate version,
liberals dislike the lack of a public option, those in thrall to big labor hate
the tax on high value health policies for union members, and everybody is
nauseated by the special favors inserted for Marie Landrieu of Louisiana and Ben
Nelson of Nebraska.
House Democrats are suspicious that if they just pass the Senate version,
Obama will sign it into law and the efforts to use reconciliation to "fix" it
will fall by the wayside.
And they are right to be paranoid on this score.
Pelosi's latest gambit is to pass a rule in the House which "deems" the
Senate bill to have passed the House without actually passing it, as if voters
would be deceived into thinking this is just a procedural vote rather than the
main vote itself.
If you have not donated to the League of American Voters -- or even
if you have -- please donate again!
Your help is urgently needed -- Go Here Now
There are 35 Congressmen who voted "no" the first time around who need
reinforcement and another 20 who voted yes who I believe can be
persuaded to change their vote. But that will take pressure -- making the
League's effort and your help vital.
Frankly, we don't have the funds to advertise in all these districts today.
But with your help we can expand our campaign and these ads can make all the
difference in the world.
Remember: If Obamacare becomes law, our health system will never
recover.
And if it does not, Obama and Pelosi will never pass another important piece
of legislation without genuine bipartisan support.
The League needs these additional funds today. The vote is coming
soon and the League must begin airing ads into these additional Congressional
districts.
With your financial help, we can tailor ads that bring maximum pressure on
these Democratic members to resist the imploring, threatening, and bribing of
Obama, Pelosi, Emanuel, Reid, and their henchmen.
PLEASE donate to help the League of American Voters run these
ads -- Go Here Now
Thank you!
