Putting Pressure on the Republicans

There is a way for the senate Republicans to defeat the health care bill. Currently, Republican senators are making arguments when they should be creating roadblocks.

1. Popular support for the bill is diminishing week by week.

2. Delay is our friend.

3. Senate rules greatly empower individual senators allowing them all sorts of parliamentary methods to delay the progress of a bill working through the legislative process.

4. We must make clear to all Republican senators the following two things:

A. that they must use these means and any others available to stop the bill, i.e. use every delaying tactic available. Erick Erikson explains.
B. if they don't find a way to stop this game-changing bill they will have failed us and we would find someone else to vote for, particularly in the next primary.

Email or call your senator to tell them what you now require of them in this situation.
