Dear Friend,

On Saturday night, the Senate takes their most important vote in the complicated process to pass Senator Harry Reid's (D-Nevada) health care bill. He needs 60 votes. Some Senators say they will vote "yes" simply to allow the debate to continue. But this is deceptive. In reality, it will pave the way to pass a government takeover of health care.

Senator Reid's bill includes:

• Funding for abortion.
• A tax for failing to have "acceptable" health care coverage.
• A new marriage tax imposed on couples who jointly make $250,000 annually. People who "shack up" can earn up to $200,000 each before being taxed.

The result of Reid's health care legislation would:

• Leave 24 million without insurance.
• Cause five million Americans to lose their employer health care coverage.
• Cut Medicare by $464.6 billion.

Act Now:

Please call your Senators now at 202-224-3121 and urge them to oppose the cloture vote on the motion to proceed to Reid's health care bill. A vote in favor of this motion is a vote in favor of Reid's massive government takeover of our health care system.

It is extremely important that you contact the following Senators if you live in their state:

Evan Bayh (D-Indiana)
Mark Begich (D-Alaska)
Robert Casey (D-Pennsylvania)
Kent Conrad (D-North Dakota)
Byron Dorgan (D-North Dakota)
Mary Landrieu (D-Louisiana)
Blanche Lincoln (D- Arkansas)
Ben Nelson (D-Nebraska)
Mark Pryor (D-Arkansas)

Please forward to your friends and family! We need to keep up the pressure on the Senate.

Also, Senators will be in their states next week. Please visit your Senators' district offices to let them know that you oppose Reid's government takeover of our health care system.

Sincerely,

Wendy Wright
President
