URGENT REQUEST FROM CONGRESSMAN JOHN FLEMING, M.D.
 AUTHOR OF H. RES 615

	
On Wednesday the House votes on whether to do another short-term continuing resolution (CR). This CR currently contains no provision to cut spending on the health care bill endorsed by the President. There is approx. $105 billion identified in that bill that will fund over 150 new agencies. However, cutting this funding would require waiving a House rule that doesn’t allow such an amendment on a CR. 

So I ask you an important poll question. Please go to my website <http://fleming.house.gov/Components/Redirect/r.aspx?ID=122017-12898391>  and register your preference. http://fleming.house.gov/Forms/Form/?ID=1140 <http://fleming.house.gov/Components/Redirect/r.aspx?ID=122018-12898391> 
 
“Do you favor Congress waiving its own rule that would allow us to add an amendment that would eliminate up to $105 billion of advanced funding for the government takeover of health care even if this amendment may not pass the Senate and could result in a government shutdown?”

I remain committed to continue to work aggressively in Congress to repeal what I firmly believe to be an onerous and unconstitutional health care reform law and support market-based solutions to our health care needs. 

Sincerely,

JOHN FLEMING, M.D.
Member of Congress
