CALL YOUR REPRESENTATIVES

Well, the games in Washington continue. There is a plan in the House to supposedly pass a bill to defund Obamacare. The plan is to pass a continuing resolution that fully funds Obamacare along with a separate bill that defunds Obamacare. When the bills are sent to the Senate the Democrats in the Senate will dump the defunding bill and send the bill that funds Obamacare to the President's desk.

This is being referred to in Washington as the "trick rule." Conservative Republicans have one word on this tactic. Vote “NO” on both bills.

If you choose to do so you may contact the Republican Leadership. Your own Congressman whether Republican or Democrat needs to be contacted also.

John Boehner, Speaker of the House Ohio
(202) 225-6205......Fax: (202) 225-0704

Eric Cantor, Majority Leader Virginia
(202) 225-2815......Fax: (202) 225-0011

Kevin McCarthy, Majority Whip California
(202) 225-2915......Fax: (202) 225-2908

Pete Sessions, Chairman-Rules Comm Texas
(202) 225-2231......Fax: (202) 225-5878

Of course, you can call any other Republican Congressman. It will take only 16 Republicans to vote
no and defeat this bill.

Thank you for all your work.
