Blue Dog Democrats

I want to express my apprecciation to those of you who oppose the evil in Obama's health bill. You should also be commended for your courage in so doing. This evil bill is creeping toward euthanasia, and we have to realize that this possibility involves not only ourselves, but our children. I am trying to find out your names so that I, and others, may write to you. Please, please, do not give up or give in to threats. I am a lymphoma survivor (4 years) and would have been dead now under Obama's plan. I had such hope, but now I see the true man hidden behind. DON;T GIVE UP! YOUR COUNTRY NEEDS YOU!

voice your support for these brave souls

Hey Norah of MA --

Thanks for the idea -- I and my many like-minded friends, will be contacting all the so-called Blue Dog Democrats and THANKING for them for their courage to act sanely in this increasingly insane political landscape being scourged by Obama and his ilk.

And one more thing for you to think about. I just returned from Europe, where everyone I talked to cannot believe that we are even considering any form of socialized medicine. Specifically, a nurse in the UK told me stories of how their system is in "serious trouble." It has permeated all aspects of their system -- NEGATIVELY. She can't even get a pair of decent latex gloves -- when she tries to put them on, her fingers rip through the tips. She had tears in her eyes when she told me this.

Socialized medicine (let's call it what is!) is NOT the answer!!!!

request

Everybody should call/write/email those on this list and let them know that they are not anonymous and that we will take action against those who prevent health care.

Contribute to this if you can.

Who are they?

Anyone know where I can get a list of names of these Blue Dog Democrates?

Blue Dogs

What are the "dogs" doing now? With all that is happening you would think they would be in ink up to their asses.

Maybe I am not reading in the right places, someone please help me.

O'bama Stimulus Bill of 2009

I have not heard a word about the "Blue Dogs" lately, how did they vote on the 2009 stimulus bill?

blue dogs with fleas

These so called blue dog Democrats are nothing more than conservative Republicans trying to pass themselves off as Democrats in typically conservative districts like Arizona's 8th (Giffords) to get themselves elected!!

This is a very deceptive practice that fools voters into thinking they are electing a "true" Democrat when in fact the are voting Republican!
