Conservatives to McConnell and Kyl: Block This Health Care Bill
by

Dear Senators McConnell and Kyl,

Thank you for your leadership in opposing the Democrat healthcare legislation these past many months. Now that Majority Leader Reid has announced a so-called “compromise” please do not allow him to railroad the Senate into a quick vote on cloture on this bill. On behalf of conservative leaders we urge you to take every action and use every Senatorial prerogative to gain additional time for the American people to understand how devastating this bill is to America’s economic future and quality healthcare.

Public opinion polls show Americans are opposed to the massive government makeover of our healthcare system. Based on media reports of the so-called Reid “compromise,” the bill has become even worse: it is a huge and expensive expansion of Medicare, it establishes the Federal bureaucracy as a stalking horse for government regulation of health insurance, and the bill allows Federal funding for abortions. When the American people understand these points it is likely that polls will show even greater disapproval.

You have been true statesmen in leading the opposition to the bill so far. Now that the majority has put together a one-party “compromise” it is critical that Republicans make it clear that you will use every prerogative of the minority to prevent them from jamming this new bill through. Please use every procedural tool available to you to ensure there is a full debate, including full debate on each amendment, and to ensure ample time for the American people to communicate their opposition to their elected representatives.

Sincerely,

Edwin Meese
