Rope-A-Dope

And guess who’s the dopes? The Republicans, as usual. They were told there wouldn’t be any vote on government-run health care this week, an old rope-a-dope trick intended to reduce constituent pressure.

Word from Erick Erickson at Red State has it that enough Blue Dog Democrats have caved for Bela Pelosi to bring H.R. 3200 to a vote on the House floor this week.

H.R. 3200 is the legislation which will give the federal government complete and total control over the health care system, creating a government-run health care system for virtually all Americans.

Call your congresscritter and demand a no vote on this atrocity. Here are the numbers for Wisconsin’s Congressional delegation:

  • 1st District: Rep. Paul Ryan (202) 225-3031
  • 2nd District: Rep. Tammy Baldwin (202) 225-2906
  • 3rd District: Rep. Ron Kind (202) 225-5506
  • 4th District: Rep. Gwen Moore (202) 225-4572
  • 5th District: Rep. James Sensenbrenner (202) 225-5101
  • 6th District: Rep. Tom Petri (202) 225-2476
  • 7th District: Rep. David Obey (202) 225-3365
  • 8th District: Rep. Steve Kagen (202) 225-5665

Burn those phone lines, folks. They do respond to public pressure.
