Health Care Reform/Senate Targets, 2010

2009-11-19T20:16:25Z

New page

In order to pass Health Care Reform, we need to put pressure on 4 Democratic US Senators who have declared that they might help a Republican filibuster.

Senator Joseph Lieberman, Connecticut
Senator Mary Landrieu, Louisiana
Senator Blanche Lincoln, Arkansas
Senator Ben Nelson, Nebraska

[[OpenLeft.com]] and the [[SEIU]] are teaming up to try to put that pressure on. I don't think that's enough.

In order to help put this pressure on, we need to help build the party infrastructure in those states. I'll bring in the list of counties and how they did in the last election so we can find our weakest county party organizations and give them a boost.

'''Tea-Bagger'''s are an early Obama administration phenomenon, older white, lower middle class populist or conservative demonstrators motivated by unhappiness that the Republican Party lost control of the White House and the that President is not white. Anti-statism, xenophobic hatred of Hispanics and conspiracism are recurring themes of their demonstrations.

'''Comprehensive Health Insurance Reform''' is the dial-back posiiton adopted by the Obama administration as it abandons (hopefully just for the time being) efforts to legislate cost controls on health care provision. The primary reason that every other advanced industrial country has been able to provide superior health care provision using a lower percentage of national GDP is that the state controls costs by acting as either the monopolistic seller of sevices or the monopsonistic buyer of services.

'''Donald Manzullo''' is the Republican U.S. Representativce for the 16th Congressional District of Illinois.

==All Manzullo is Local==
Some members of Congress seek to represent not just the special interets in their little corner of America but the interests of all Americans. Donald Manzullo isn't among them. If you are not from the 16th Congressional District of Illinois, Donald Manzullo's staff doesn't want to receive your e-mails. Just try [http://manzullo.house.gov/zipauth.aspx sending them] a message from a zip code outside the district. You will receive a message saying: "Sorry that zipcode is for another district." Conservatism cultivates selfishness and ignorance, which finds its highest expression in this sort of parochialism.
