Let us know by responding to this email that you will be able to help call voters in this District

Our hope to repeal this Health Care Bill, we need to have a Super Majority in the House and Senate in order to have the resolution go through Congress and remain veto-proof.  Start with this seat, then Pennsylvania, then Hawaii, then November.

4)  There have been 8 versions of ObamaCare. The numbers below are estimates made for one or more of them. We believe they are still in the ballpark, and we will update as more information becomes available.
