House Call a Huge Success

Nov 5, 2009
Politics

10,000 gathered in Washington D.C. today for a "House Call" to let congress know that we don’t want their stupid government takeover health care bill.  A contingent of about 100 made it from Kentucky and 20 of them paid a personal visit to Congressman Ben Chandler’s office. 

Chandler was apparently gracious and listened to their concerns, but left the group with the impression that he was still sitting on the fence about his vote on Health Care.  He did venture to day he had "grave concerns" about the bill as it is currently written. 

For anyone who reads this bill and understands it to not know where they stand on it is disingenuous at best.  In my opinion, Chandler is holding out for what he can get, not worried about what he will lose.  In other words, I think Pelosi still has room left to twist his arm and get what she wants out of him.  

Call congressman Ben Chandler and let him know you want him to take a stand with Kentuckians on this bill.

    He’s pretty much the professional politician that sticks his finger in the air to see which way the political wind is blowing, but kudos to all the voters in his (and our) district that took the time to voice their oppinion to him ( Chandler) in person
