Democrat “Health Insurance Reform” Talking Points for Townhall Meetings

Human Events has posted a copy of a letter from Nancy Pelosi and the House Democratic leadership to Democratic members of Congress outlining a “Strategic Communications Plan for August: Health Insurance Reform” for them “to use this month to build support and momentum so [they] can return in September well-positioned to pass a health reform bill in the House.”

The letter includes the following talking points that are “in sync with the White House” and counter “the Republican ‘government takeover’ message”:

• Hold the insurance companies accountable.
• Remove them from between you and your doctor.
• No discrimination for pre-existing conditions.
• No dropping your coverage because you get sick.
• No more job or life decisions made based on loss of coverage.
• No need to change doctors or plans.
• No co-pays for preventive care.
• No excessive out-of-pocket expenses, deductibles, or co-pays.
• No yearly or lifetime cost caps on what insurance companies cover.

How will you respond to these points if your senator or representative raises them?

Tracking Democrats in Colorado’s Congressional Delegation

Back in December I started, but didn’t continue, a project to watch Ed Perlmutter, who is my congressman.  I suggested in a post on Dec. 5 that it would be a good idea to “keep an ‘eagle eye’ on what the Democrats in the state, and from the state in Washington, are doing.”  I resurrected this idea in the Colorado SGP group and hope to get some help with this kind of project.  I’ve been doing some research to find sites that we could use to watch the Democrats in Colorado’s Congressional Delegation.

First, for general information on legislation and votes, these are the official government sites:

• THOMAS
• U.S. Senate: Legislation & Records
• U.S. House of Representatives: Legislation & Votes

I found several other sites that track what U.S. Senators and Representatives do and have provided links to the appropriate pages:

	Official Websites	OpenCongress	Project Vote Smart	GovTrack.us	Congress.org	Congress Votes Database	CongressOL.com

I want socialists and socialism to fail.

I want universal health care to fail.

I want cap and trade to fail.

However, I want America and Americans individually to succeed.

How Much Will the Democrat “Stimulus” Bill Cost You?

Cost of the Bill:  $819,000,000,000  (spending) + $347,000,000,000 (interest) = $1,166,000,000,000
U.S. Population:  306,000,000 (rounding up)
Cost per Person:  $1,166,000,000,000/306,000,000 = $3810

Single Person:  $3810
Married Couple:  $7620
Family of Three:  $11,430
Family of Four:  $15,240
Family of Five:  $19,050
Family of Six:  $22,860*

 If you don’t want to pay for the Democrats’ wish list and payback to their supporters, call your senators.  You can find their individual web pages by going to the U.S. Senate’s home page.  Here are the phone numbers for Colorado’s senators:

Sen. Mark Udall: 202-224-5941
Sen. Michael Bennet: 202-224-5852

 

*I went up to a family of six because I have a brother and sister-in-law with four children still living at home.

Colorado Democrat Watch

As I wrote before Thanksgiving, I’m disappointed that the blog Ritter Watch isn’t being kept up to date.  I think we, conservatives in Colorado, should keep an “eagle eye” on what the Democrats in the state, and from the state in Washington, are doing.  It could be a great resource for the next election and might help educate voters about liberal philosophy and policy decisions.

There are plenty of bloggers in the Rocky Mountain Alliance 2.0 and listed at Rocky Mountain Right and Face the State who could help track the doings of liberal elected officials in Colorado.

I’m planning to watch Ed Perlmutter, who is my own congressman.
