ACORN Would Love to Be Part of This Fight

Pelosi-Care has passed the House. As much as those words should scare you, the game isn't over yet.

All but one Republican voted against the Bill. The Republicans lead rallies, protests, brought in Jon Voight and John Ratzenberger. Representatives Bachmann and King really lead the charge. The public spoke up, but the Democrats in power continued to move the Bill forward.

Now the fight moves to the Senate. In the Senate one or two votes may have more of an impact on this legislation.

Democrats are aware that in many ways their electoral prospects and President Obama's opinion rating hinges on this measure. Look at what our friends at SEIU are doing about it. First they went after swing members, urging their union ranks to call and advocate for healthcare reform. When targeting specific members wasn't enough, they decided to target all male members of Congress:

We rigged our toll-free phone line to direct calls to male members of Congress. That's right - the men in Congress need to hear from us about how women are routinely discriminated against by insurance companies. Let's educate them on what women are facing every day: higher premiums, less coverage, and battles with insurers over "pre-existing conditions" like pregnancy and c-sections.

You know ACORN would love to be part of this fight.
