The first critical vote on Harry Reid's version of ObamaCare
will take place tomorrow (Saturday).

Reid needs 60 votes in support of his "motion to proceed"
to the floor debate on his ObamaCare bill. That means 60
Senators must vote with Reid even though they were shut
out of the process and have only been given a few days
to look at this over 2,000-page monstrosity.

We have posted several resources for you on ResistNet,
including the full bill text, the "top line facts," and an
itemization of more than a half-trillion dollars in new
taxes. Go here:

+ + Today's actions

Thanks to so many Grassfire friends who have already taken
action, tens of thousands of personal letters are flooding
Senate offices by fax and hand-delivery right now.

In fact, we cannot take any more fax orders before the vote
on Saturday. So we're asking everyone to do two things:

+ + Action #1 -- Call your two Senators

Please call your senators and let them know what you think
about ObamaCare and the fast-tracked Reid bill:

Sen. Landrieu 202-224-5824

Sen. Vitter 202-224-4623

Or, call the switchboard and ask for your Senator by
name: 202-224-3121.

Be sure to tell your Senators that you live in their state
or district.

+ + Action # 2 -- Forward this to your friends

The vote will take place on Saturday, scheduled for 8pm. This
is the first key vote on Reid's ObamaCare bill -- the first
high hurdle that Reid must cross.

Please alert your friends. Forward this message to them.
Encourage them to access the resources at ResistNet and to
call their Senators.

Again, in this first key Senate vote, clearly the odds are
against us. But we must stand. Thanks for taking action.
