Important Grassroots Message

Pelosi‘s bill is being called the “worst bill ever” — with over 1,000 instances of “taxes,” “regulations,” and other government-control key words.

The Wall Street Journal is calling Nancy Pelosi’s 1,990-page government takeover of healthcare the “worst piece of post-New Deal legislation ever introduced.”

The Journal says it will create an “unrepealable middle class entitlement” that will cause taxes to “rise precipitously” and will result in “all medicine” being “rationed via politics.” The CBO cost estimate is coming in at $1.055 trillion and that’s just scratching the surface. The Journal says “ObamaCare will be lucky to cost under $2 trillion over 10 years; it will grow more after that.”

Go here to access Wall Street Journal’s excellent analysis of what it calls the “worst bill ever”:

+ + Bill loaded with taxes, fines, penalties and regulations

In case there was any doubt left that ObamaCare is a massive, tax-increasing power grab, consider what our Grassfire research team unearthed about the words used in Pelosi’s bill:

–181 instances of “penalty” or “penalties”
–214 times “taxes” or “tax” is recorded
–82 usages of “fee” and “fees”

A total of 486 times any form of the words penalty, surcharge, tax, fine or fee are used!

–422 instances of “require,” “requires” or “required”
–78 times the words “obligation” or “obligated” occur
–219 usages of “regulation(s)”
–106 times “impose, imposed or imposes” are used

A total of 609 times any form of the words impose, require, mandate, obligation, license or regulation are used

+ + Pelosi promising vote by as soon as Thursday

We are now bracing for a floor vote in the House as soon as Thursday or Friday. That means we have just a few days to get our message through loud and clear.

+ + Action #1 — Hand-deliver your message directly to Congress

Grassfire has already delivered over 100,000 personal letters from citizens across the country to key members of Congress — in just the past week.

This is the best way to make sure your message gets personally delivered to your two Senators, your Representative and other key members of Congress.

This is especially crucial this week. Please go here right now to schedule your messages to be personally hand-delivered:

http://www.grassfire.net/r.asp?U=22655&CID=122&RID=21651665

Each day’s orders are delivered the next day, so please take a moment right now to schedule your hand-delivery.

+ + Action 2 — Help flood Congress with petitions, phone calls and other contacts all week long.

In addition to the hand-delivered letters, Grassfire will also be hand-delivering each and every signed petition as part of a massive grassroots effort taking place this Thursday.

Grassfire hopes to rally 1 million citizen contacts (petitions, faxes, phone calls, letters) this Thursday, coinciding with Rep. Michelle Bachmann’s call to join her in walking the halls of Congress and make sure the voice of citizens is heard.

Two ways you can help:

#1 — Ask your friends to sign the petition by going here:

http://www.grassfire.net/r.asp?u=22661&PID=21651665

All petitions received by 6am Wednesday will be hand-delivered Thursday.

#2 — Call! Call! Call!

Please call your two Senators and your Representative.

If they do not receive hand-delivered letters and calls and other communications from constituents, they will assume you support ObamaCare!

Rep. Upton 202-225-3761

Sen. Levin 202-224-6221

Sen. Stabenow 202-224-4822

Or, call the switchboard and ask for your member of Congress:
202-224-3121. Be sure to tell your Senators and Representative that you live in their state or district.

We have posted more information at ResistNet. Go here:
