Will the Easter break be a repeat of August on ObamaCare?

As the clock ticks down on Obama's (latest) deadline for passage of his bid to take over 1/6th of our economy, many Democrats are worrying (and Republicans are hoping) that the vote won't happen before Congress leaves town next weekend for it's Easter break.  The recess will last longer than two weeks, and be the first time (other than Christmas) that they've had to spend an extended period of time back home in their districts since the August recess of last year.

Why does that worry them?  Because it was during last year's August recess that congressional town halls all across the country exploded with anger when constituents began to figure out what was in ObamaCare and started putting their representatives on the spot about it.  And given how razor thin the upcoming House vote on the Senate version of ObamaCare is likely to be, the last thing Obama and the Democrat leadership wants is for any of their wavering members to be "exposed" to the public again.

To make things worse, even while they're in the process of trying to rush a vote before everyone leaves town, no one has seen any legislative language for their proposed "reconciliation amendments", (ie. the "fixes" that are supposed to make wavering Democrats feel better about voting for it). 

Amazing.

If you haven't contacted your members of Congress yet, do so before it's too late.

Here's a link to find phone numbers and email addresses.  Or click here and send them a fax.

Either way, contact them soon.

Poor planning and rushing things never work out well.
