Please, call Congress re the "government run health plan" before their August recess!

Every day Congress moves toward voting on a 'national socialist' government run medical coverage plan that would include illegal aliens (12+ million), mandate abortion coverage, penalize doctors and medical facilities that refuse killing children, add trillion$ to our deficit & future unfunded obligations and raise the cost of health care while reducing benefits especially for the elderly (65+.)

 

Rather than attacking waste and fraud in existing health care programs, Congress wants to add more layers of goverment controls on your life. 

 

If you wany to reduce taxes, cut future deficits, keep the option to get your own private insurance, save lives from abortion, and keep government from further invading your every day life, please consider calling your Congressional Representative and both State Senators.

 

Call your state Representative and Senators and ask them to vote against the new "government run socialized health plan." 

Ask them, if they decide to vote for it, will they drop their Congressional health plan and join the new government plan as many of us will be forced to do. 

And, please ask them, if they insist on voting for the health plan, would they please vote against 'abortion coverage.'  Many studies show that without government funding of abortions, 30% of the babies would be saved.  Note that 25% of all black children have been killed by abortionists since the Supreme Court decision 'Roe v Wade' in 1973!

 

Please call before the August recess.

The August Recess

source: http://senate.gov/artandhistory/history/common/generic/News_August_Recess.htm

Vice-President Charles Curtis

By tradition and by law, Congress recesses for the month of August.  During the Senate's early years, members attempted to adjourn in the spring, before the summer's heat and oppressive humidity overwhelmed them and their small staff.  When the Senate moved to its current chamber in 1859, senators were optimistic about its "modern" ventilation system, but they soon found the new system ineffective.  Long sessions were plagued by hot and stormy weather.  The 1920s brought  "manufactured weather"  to the Senate chamber, but even modern climate control could not cope with the hottest days, forcing 20th-century senators to escape the summer heat.  In 1970, finally facing the reality of long sessions, Congress mandated a summer break as part of the Legislative Reorganization Act.  Today, the August recess continues to be a regular feature of the Senate schedule--a chance for senators to spend time with family, meet with constituents in their home states, and catch up on summer reading.
