    The Little Red Hen
    Hooray for a good work ethic! The little red hen asks but receives no help in her efforts to put bread on the table. Yet all who wouldn't help would like to eat. In a refreshingly old-fashioned triumph of moral consequences, they don't get to!

Blue Dog Democrats can kill Obama Health Care - call them!

From Laura Ingraham:

 BLUE DOG DEMS CAN KILL OBAMA HEALTH CARE REFORM

There are EIGHT "Blue Dog Democrats" who sit on the Energy and Commerce Committee. If these eight Democrats do not support the legislation, passage would likely not succeed. It is CRITICAL to contact them TODAY and make your voice heard.

Thank you for this info. I called and emailed each Congressman and it only took about ten minutes. I hope all your readers will do the same. This truly is critical because, like Rush has said, if Obama gets healthcare, the US we have known will no longer be in existence.

Can anyone contact them since they are on this committee or should it be their constituents only? I have never been clear about this...

Thanks for this list. I called them to tell them to pass Obama's healthcare.

[Better find some friends to call too. They say calls are running 15-1 AGAINST what we are learning as we read the actual legislation is only euphemistically called healthcare. As Laura Ingraham says, if you're over 65 and wake up with a backache some morning, better not complain or you'll be down the hospice chute. . . .

And as a mother of four kids with disabilities (3 adopted), I worry that with limited resources and Obama's utilitarian mindset they will be denied the health care given to some whose life is deemed more important.

I don't suppose you've read much of the bill, though.]
