Re H.R. 2346

I called Moore, Payne, Nadler and Markey; all of the aides sounded grumpy.

I told them that I’m not a constituent, but I do contribute money to MoveOn and other organizations that support progressive Dems.

Crickets at the other end….

did i miss the roll call vote for the rule (not the actual bill)?

i wasn’t listening to cspan for awhile, but it now sounds like debate on hr 2346 has begun.

“Rep. Schakowsky broke her foot (in two places) and they haven’t had a chance to talk so phone-answerer could not tell me what her updated position is, if any, on H.R. 2346.”

huh - that’s kind of extreme. couldn’t she just have voted “Present”?

and are we expecting any kind of “Present Flu”?

Why would any Repubs vote for this? They have to answer to the folks back home, too, and their main goal in life is to see that Obama doesn’t succeed at anything. Makes no sense to me.

Congressman Welch’s office still won’t say how he’ll vote.

I’m sure the Admin is positioning this as ‘voting no’ means an Obama defeat and “we can’t afford such if we are to pass healthcare.”
