These thirty Democratic Congressmen all voted for Obamacare the first time around. But Pelosi cannot count on their votes again as Obama tries to jam the bill through using reconciliation in the Senate. These members are all vulnerable and are frightened of the voter backlash their support for Obamacare has kindled.
The League of American voters is running ads in each of their districts to press them to vote no on Obamacare. Pick up the phone and call these swing Congressmen. Let them hear from you! Here’s the list:

Tea Party Movement to fight Obamacare
Democrats appear to be gambling that a perceived lull in Tea Party activism, combined with an eight-month window to the November midterm election, is going to buy them enough time to muster the simple majorities they need in the Senate and House to give President Obama at least partial victory in his push to remake the nation's health care system.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Monday that Obama will have a proposal on the table "in a matter of days."
"Time is up," she said in an interview Sunday.
But conservative activists, particularly the Tea Party groups, are gearing up for a fight to the last vote, even if political judgment day may seem far off.
Health care is right now our first priority because we know ... it's so close to passing, and if we look away for one second, it will.
The all-fronts push for health care reform by top Democrats in Washington is a sharp turnaround from late January, when President Obama declared in his State of the Union address that "jobs must be our number-one focus in 2010" while burying the section on health care. Obama was obviously intentionally playing down the issue to make the debate less toxic.
I think they created the lull on purpose. Just because it's not front-and-center in the news cycle does not mean it's gone away.
The third Tea Party Express tour -- a road show of anti-tax, anti-spending activists that rolled through Augusta during the fall at the request of TalkRadio1230 AM Augusta’s Tea Party station-- is set to start March 27 in Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's home turf of Nevada and wind its way toward Washington, holding rallies at dozens of stops along the way. More than 1,000 Tea Party rallies are planned nationwide for the April 15 tax day demonstration including the HUGE party we have planned that day at the Augusta Commons starting at 5PM. Both the tour and the tax day rallies are expected to focus heavily on health care reform but there are a wide variety of issues that the American public is unhappy about and this Tea Party will not only have great speakers but educational elements to help people become politically active and rally the troops to take back our government in November.
April 15 is "the next big thing" in the health care reform battle and the battle to stop the out of control spending that is crippling our economy and destroying jobs. Of course the Tea Party people here and groups all across the country will be watching the debate carefully, ready to jump in with carefully applied pressure to key lawmakers when needed.
Become party of the Tea Party Movement here in the CSRA and help us return America to the values and principles that our Founding Fathers fought and died for. We need volunteers, sponsors, speakers and vendors. Email me if you want to get involved; Tony@TalkRadio1230.com

Obama Obamanation!
Near the end of a town hall meeting in Johnstown, Pa., a woman arose to offer a passionate plea to Barack Obama to "stop these abortions."
Obama's response was cool, direct, and unequivocal.
"Look, I got two daughters -- 9 years old and 6 years old. ... I am going to teach them first about values and morals, but if they make a mistake, I don't want them punished with a baby."
"He doesn’t want them punished with a baby!"
Obama sees an unwanted pregnancy as a cruel and punitive sanction for a teenager who has made a mistake, and abortion as the way out, the road to absolution and redemption.
The contrast with Sarah Palin, most conservatives or moderate Americans could not be more stark. At the birth of her son Trig, who has Down syndrome, Gov. Palin said: "We knew through early testing he would face special challenges, and we feel privileged that God would entrust us with this gift and allow us unspeakable joy as he entered our lives.
"We have faith that every baby is created for good purpose and has potential to make this world a better place. We are truly blessed."
Between the convictions and values of Palin and those of Barack, then, there is a world of difference. In the culture war that is rooted in religious faith, they are on opposite sides of the dividing line.
But more crucial than their conflicting beliefs is the political reality. This election might have been America's last hope to reverse Roe v. Wade. It’s outcome sealed the fate of life, or death, of millions of unborn children. The great social cause of the Catholic Church and the Knights of Columbus, of the Evangelical and Pentecostal churches, of the entire right-to-life movement, was hanging in the balance and we didn’t step up in large enough numbers to stop this horrific policy To dealing wigh hang today in the balance.
Why? It is not just that Obama is a pro-choice absolutist who defends the grisly procedure known as partial-birth abortion, who backs a Freedom of Choice Act to abolish every restriction in every state, who even opposed a born-alive infant protection act.
Nor is it because Joe Biden is a NARAL Catholic who has been admonished by bishops not to take communion because he has, through his career, supported a women's "right" to abortion, the exercise of which right has ended the lives of over 50 million unborn.
Nor is it even because McCain professes to be pro-life, or Gov. Palin is a woman who not only talks the talk but walks the walk of life.
No. The reason this election is the last chance for life is the Supreme Court. For it alone -- given the cowardice of a Congress that refuses to restrict its authority -- has the power to reverse Roe, and because that court may be within a single vote of doing so.
Justices Antonin Scalia, Clarence Thomas, Sam Alito and Chief Justice John Roberts appear steeled to overturn Roe and return this most divisive issue since slavery to the states, where it resided until January 1973.
And John Paul Stevens, the oldest and perhaps most pro-choice justice at 88, is a likely retiree in the next four years. And there is a possibility Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, at 75, a survivor of cancer, could depart as did Justice Sandra Day O'Connor.
Thus, in the first term of the next president, there is a strong probability that one or two of the most pro-Roe justices will leave the bench. Replacement of even one of these two liberal activists with a jurist who has a Scalia-Roberts-Alito-Thomas record on the U.S. appellate court could initiate a challenge to Roe, and its rapid reversal.
Not only would that decision be a stunning perhaps irreversible victory for the pro-life cause, it would return the issue of abortion to Congress and the states, where numerous legislators are prepared to curtail if not outlaw abortion on demand in America.
Overturning Roe would re-energize the right-to-life movement in every state. In some, like California and New York, where it could not wholly prevail, some restrictions -- i.e., no abortions after viability -- might be imposed. Requirements such as for parental notification before a teenager has an abortion and that pregnant women be informed of what the procedure means and the trauma that often follows could be written into law.
If Roe goes, all things are possible. If Roe remains, all is lost.
This has been the most horrific genocide in human history. Over 50 million babies murdered by their own mothers and a government and court system that obviously didn’t and doesn’t understand the “unintended consequences beyond the obvious moral consequences and the psychological damage that haunts the “mothers” that killed their children.
There would be no Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid or Deficit problem if we had those 50 million people here working and contributing to the economy. There would be no illegal immigrant problem if we had 50 million more Americans to do the jobs that Americans supposedly won’t do. Some of these Aborted Children may have grown up to find the cure for Cancer or other deadly diseases. We’ll never know the new technology that some of these 50 million people would have discovered or created.
But there is a certainty that a President Obama will move swiftly to replace a Stevens or Ginsberg, or any other justice who steps downs or dies, with a pro-choice jurist. For support for Roe v. Wade is a litmus test in today's Democratic Party, where the right to an abortion has been elevated to the highest rank in the Constitution. That’s why we MUST take back the House and Senate back in 2010 so that these nominees can be defeated in committee before they ever make to the floor for a vote.
Most importantly we need to elect real CONSERVATIVES with conservative “Right to Life” principles that they will not sell out to the lobbyist and special interest whose only interest in providing “choice” to women is to make money and destroy the moral fiber of our country! That’s why it us more important than ever that we make the right decisions during the primary process so that OUR CHOICES aren’t compromised in the general election.
