It's time to write the letter

No, not the cheery family Christmas letter. The one to kill health care. Seriously people, get in touch with your senators, especially the squishy ones--maybe I'm delusional, but I firmly believe it'll make a difference (unless your senators are a lost cause). Just cut and paste the one below that I sent this morning (make the appropriate modifications). You're welcome.

Sir, I understand you're going to hear from the President this afternoon that it's 'now or never' for this health care bill. You've been a brave Democrat voting for some of the GOP amendments on this bill which we greatly admire and you've never struck us as one who would succumb to pressure. Please, Senator Webb, do not vote for this monstrosity-it's not now or never for health care reform, it's only now or never for this particular iteration of it. It can be done so much better and with a far smaller price tag. I assure you that you will have our undying support if you vote no on this bill and we'll happily contribute to your next campaign. If you vote yes, we'll knock on every door in the Commonwealth in 2012 to remind Virginians of your vote.

Hmmmm...

Play Bejeweled Blitz on Facebook, or write letters to Frank Lautenberg and Bob Menendez?

Which do you think would be a better use of my time in trying to kill this monstrosity?

No point at this stage. In our state we've got one firmly against and one freshman Senatoress (a real live idiot) who will do what the leadership tells her. I've written her so many threatening (not violent) and insulting emails I'm sure I'm on a list somewhere.
It's over. Now we're going to have to live with it. My advice? Don't get sick or hurt and punish them next November.

Done. Although I'm not sure Arlen Specter will comply.

You're killing me. Don't give up. There are still some wobbly Senators!

I'll write my two leftists in Maryland, thought yes, it will be to no avail.

With a National Debt of $12,045,343,408,473 as of 05:00 CST, I see no reason why we cannot afford this pie in the sky legislation.
Unfortunately both my Snators and my congressman are from Alabama so they voted nay forgive them, they are not as enlightened as those who voted for this additional nail in the coffin of america.
