Queen Nancy Scrambles For Votes

Unless some bribes took place overnight, the votes aren’t there yet.

According to Roll Call, Loretta Sanchez is a NO.  She voted yes for the House bill back in November.

According to Hot Air, Zack Space and Jim Matheson are both now in the NO column.

I am not convinced this is a done deal.

Update:  Firedog Lake has an excellent graph of the YES and NO votes as of 8:00 p.m. last night.

House Switchboard Getting 40,000 Calls Per Hour After Rush Limbaugh Gives Out Number On Air

Remember when the MSM was wondering (wishfully thinking) if Rush had become obsolete?

 House administrators estimate that Capitol switchboard operators are fielding roughly 40,000 calls per hour from constituents and that perhaps twice as many callers are experiencing busy signals a full day after radio host Rush Limbaugh gave his listening audience the Capitol switchboard phone number and encouraged them to call it.

That means that in an eight-hour window, the Capitol is being deluged with more than 300,000 phone calls, said Jeff Ventura, spokesman for the Chief Administrator’s Office. The barrage is about 10 times what the switchboard usually receives, he added.

“This doesn’t surprise me. It’s going to be that way all week, until they vote [on health care reform].  No doubt about it,” he said. “For everyone who doesn’t get through, they’ll just say to themselves, ‘I’ll try again tomorrow.’”

 

Keep them burning.  The main number is (202) 224-3121.

Please see the previous post for “undecided” House members who need special attention.

The latest GOP turncoats: Bono, Mack, Castle, Kirk, Lance, LoBiondo, McHugh, Reichert, Smith

Remember their names.

Their collective eight votes made the difference in passing the Cap and Trade bill in the House last night.

Hot Air reports that Kirk is considering a Senate run.  I hope he hasn’t printed up any bumper stickers yet.

It’s time to turn up the heat on members of the Senate.  This bill will have devastating consequences on American families and must be stopped.
