 Do you really want to empower the same government that is fouling-up cash-for-clunkers to the tune of 3 billion dollars to get its hands on another 3 trillion dollars of your hard-earned money to foul-up your health care? Do you really want to empower that same government to determine which life-saving treatments you and your loved-ones will get... or won't get? Do you want government end-of-life counselors who would probably exhibit the compassion of IRS agents... making life and death decisions for you or your parents? Well, unless you do something right now to stop it, it's going to happen because after spending the last several days "talking tough," ... throwing a little red-meat to the base... Republican Senators are renewing their commitment to "compromise" on ObamaCare. And we don't have to tell you what that means. Can you believe the nerve of some of these Republican Senators? Last week, you, and thousands of concerned Americans like you, told Senators Mike Enzi, Chuck Grassley and Olympia Snowe to walk away from the so-called negotiation table. And on Tuesday, it appeared for a brief moment that Enzi had gotten the message. According to the Gillette News Record Enzi showed up unannounced at a political event in his in his hometown of Gillette, Wyoming and thrilled the crowd by assuring the attendees, "I'm pretty sure it's [ObamaCare] going to fail." But then, by Thursday morning, Enzi had still not walked away from the negotiation table. Was he perhaps being coy... holding his cards close to vest... keeping the opposition off balance by not letting anyone know just what he was going to do? No way. In fact, Enzi made it a point to renew his vow to continue "negotiations" and, in the process, give Barack Obama, Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi everything they wanted on a silver platter: "Despite some reports, I am still working with Senator Baucus and other members of the so-called Gang of Six. These discussions led by Senator Baucus have been productive, and I plan to continue with them." We need every person in receipt of this urgent appeal to use the hyperlink below and barrage each and every Republican Member of the United States Senate with your personalized faxes. Tell them that no amount of so-called "compromise" will turn the sow's belly of government-run health care into a silk purse. No amount of lipstick will make this pig of a legislative attempt called ObamaCare attractive or palatable to the American people. Tell these elected officials once and for all that the American people want no part of ObamaCare. The American people don't want a so-called compromise and the American people don't want ObamaCare-lite. Tell our Republican legislators that the only thing keeping ObamaCare alive at this very moment is the willingness of three Republican Senators to play "nice-nice" with the opposition and demand that these Republican office-holders use every means at their disposal to push Grassley and Enzi and Snowe away from the negotiating table so that ObamaCare can go away into that long good-night once and for all.  If button above does not work, use this hyperlink . And What About Senator Charles Grassley? On Wednesday, Obama Advisor David Axelrod accused Grassley of being duplicitous: "If you're sitting at a table negotiating in good faith, then you probably don't send out mailers saying, 'Help me stop ObamaCare.' That's just common sense." Admittedly, Axelrod had a point. Was Grassley playing games with the opposition... was he playing games with us... was he playing both sides against the other? It didn't take Grassley long to come clean. Tail firmly between legs... Grassley's office issued a statement within a matter of hours. According to the Wall Street Journal: "A spokeswoman for Mr. Grassley, Jill Kozeny, said the fund-raising letter was mailed Aug. 7. She said Mr. Grassley is continuing to negotiate with top Democrats and believes they should keep working until they put together...." And there you have it.... It's time to tell these politicians that they cannot get away with telling the folks back home one thing, and doing the exact opposite back in Washington. It's time to let these politicians know that talk is cheap. It's time to let them know that when the American people demand action, the American people expect action. It's time to let these politicians know that a "compromise" on ObamaCare is still a loss for the American people. It's time to let them know, yet again, that the American people want them to scrap ObamaCare in total, and start talking about some real solutions that will counter the rising health care costs in this nation... tort reform... competition across state lines... less government involvement.... And most important... it's time to let them know, yet again, that they can start by walking away from this so-called negotiation table. We need every person in receipt of this urgent appeal to use the hyperlink below and barrage each and every Republican Member of the United States Senate with your personalized faxes. Tell them that no amount of so-called "compromise" will turn the sow's belly of government-run health care into a silk purse. No amount of lipstick will make this pig of a legislative attempt called ObamaCare attractive or palatable to the American people.

If button above does not work, use this hyperlink . And To Add Insult To Injury... These Negotiations May be The Only Thing Keeping ObamaCare Alive. There are some who still might say that Enzi and Grassley and Senator Olympia Snowe (among others) are only pretending to negotiate in order to sabotage ObamaCare. There's only one problem with that theory. The best way to "sabotage" ObamaCare, would be to walk away from the table. If not for these so called negotiations, ObamaCare would be gone... finished... kaput. Political commentator Dick Morris made an excellent observation on Fox News several nights ago on that score: "He's [Obama] got a basic political problem. If he drops the 'public option' he'll never get it [ObamaCare] through the House. The People's Republic of Pelosi won't approve it." "If he keeps the 'public option' ... he'll get 55-56 votes... not the 60 he needs to shut off debate. "If he goes for the 50... no debate... under 'reconciliation' ... he'll lose 6 or 7 or 8 or 9... he has no way he can get a majority at this point." In other words... ObamaCare is essentially dead... the only thing keeping it on life-support are these negotiations... and the only thing that might actually save it are these negotiations. So why are Enzi and Grassley and Snowe negotiating? It's just as we told you last week: "As things now stand, proponents of ObamaCare cannot get 60 votes in the Senate. They cannot cut-off debate. They cannot overcome a filibuster." "And despite their bullying and bravado, they know that Americans are so opposed to ObamaCare, that it would be political suicide to invoke the 'reconciliation' process and shove ObamaCare through the Senate, and down our throats, by a simple majority vote. "But not so fast, three Republican Senators, Grassley, Enzi and Snowe, still want to rescue ObamaCare. Three Republican Senators are 'negotiating' with their Democrat counterparts to bring an ObamaCare-lite proposal to the table. "We say, this foolishness must stop now. If you agree, we need you to join us and add your voice to ours." We said it last week and we're saying it again now. We need every person in receipt of this urgent appeal to use the hyperlink below and barrage each and every Republican Member of the United States Senate with your personalized faxes.

If button above does not work, use this hyperlink . The American People Do Not Want ObamaCare Saved. It's time to tell these Republican Senators that the American people do not want ObamaCare saved. They have the power to pull the plug and the American people want them to do it. And it's not just Grassley and Enzi and Snowe who need to get the message. Leave it to the extreme left-wing Internet publication, the Daily Kos, to point out the obvious... ObamaCare never has to come to a vote... ObamaCare never has to make it out of the Senate Finance Committee... like so many other bills, it could (and should) simply die in committee. Brooklynbadboy (the moniker of one of the Daily Kos's contributors) reminds us of the Rules of Procedure of the Senate Finance Committee... specifically Rule 4 which states: "Quorums.-(a) Except as provided in subsection (b) one-third of the membership of the committee, including not less than one member of the majority party and one member of the minority party, shall constitute a quorum for the conduct of business. (b) Notwithstanding the rule prescribed by subsection (a), one member shall constitute a quorum for the purpose of conducting a hearing." Put another way, if every Republican "walks away" there can be no vote on ObamaCare. But wait... what about Olympia Snowe... it only takes one Republican after all? One only has to remember that it's the party caucus within the chamber that generally decides which Members get to sit on which committee. Brooklynbadboy again: "Her caucus could vote to remove her from one of the Senate's most powerful committees, and replace her with someone who will tow the line." Which brings us back to the question.... Why are Republicans negotiating? While we wouldn't exactly wear our agreement with the Daily Kos on our lapels as a badge of honor... wouldn't it be great if, just this once, Republicans didn't try to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory? Wouldn't it be nice if Republicans actually tried to win one for the American people? With your help... we might make that happen this time around.
