We can stop the bill in the House of Representatives, The bill passed by 220-215 in the House, but now many Blue Dogs are on the fence. They are running like scared Blue Dogs. Help them make the decision, call them, tell them to vote against Obama Care. We don't want it, we don't need it and we can't afford it.
If Obama Care passess, this is what you can expect:
* Cut $500 billion from Medicare
* Force rationing of health care
* Raise income taxes to 43% (from 35%) and capital gains taxes to 22.5% (from 15%)
* Force a $2,000 increase in the average health insurance premium
* Force young people to buy insurance they don't need or want that would cost over $8500 per person
* Or...pay 2.5% of their income as a fine for not having insurance
* Or...face prison if they don't do either
* Tax medical devices and many medical procedures
BLUE DOGS ARE AS FOLLOWS:
Dogs and Socialist Dogs, imploring them to VOTE NO on health care.
Brian Baird
WA-03
Retiring
52-46
No
He's retiring, making him immune to GOP pressure. He recently said he was totally "undecided."
John Boccieri
OH-16
Yes
48-50
Freshman
Boccieri has turned out to be a lesser priority for the NRCC than fellow Ohio freshmen Kilroy and Driehaus. He has recently sounded open to supporting the bill.
Bart Gordon
TN-06
Retiring
37-62
Sophomore
He's retiring, which puts him right at the top of the Democrats' priority list since the GOP can't pressure him with electoral reasons. He is a Blue Dog. A very important detail: He voted for the bill in the Energy & Commerce Committee before opposing it on the floor, which certainly suggests he'd be open to voting for it now.
Larry Kissell
NC-08
Yes
53-47
freshman
Faces a competitive race, though he represents one of the bluest districts among the 39 who voted 'no' in the fall.
Scott Murphy
NY-23
Not for now
51-48
freshman
Murphy looks safer than he did this fall
That leaves us with 18 Democrats whose support for a final bill is plausible, albeit still tough to envision. It will at the least require some very heavy pushing for Pelosi to convince any of these:
Jason Altmire
PA-04
Yes
44-55
Sophomore
Despite a few hints of openness to supporting a bill, he has sounded very hostile to health-care reform and the abortion issue should seal his "no." He's a Blue Dog.
John Adler
NJ-03
Yes
52-47
Freshman
Adler has done his best to position himself as a centrist over the past few months and he is facing a tricky race. Yet, he is less vulnerable than many others on this list and he represents a district that clearly voted for Obama. He should be right at the top of Pelosi's target list.
John Barrow
GA-12
No
54-45
No
Allen Boyd
FL-02
In primary
45-54
No
At this point, this Blue Dog has more to worry about in the Dem primary than in the general election. He's a Blue Dog.
Rick Boucher
VA-09
Yes
40-59
No
Boucher looks far more vulnerable now than he did in the fall, which will complicate Pelosi's outreach.
Ben Chandler
KY-06
Probably not
43-55
No
The filing deadline has passed in Kentucky, and while the race could heat up Chandler doesn't have to worry about facing a top-tier Republican. Will this encourage him to vote "yes"? He did support cap-and-trade. He's a Blue Dog.
Tim Holden
PA-17
Yes
48-51
No
He's a Blue Dog, and he is facing his first tough re-election race in some time.
Suzanne Kosmas
FL-24
Yes
49-51
freshman
She has emerged as a fairly centrist Democrat, so I'd be somewhat surprised if she switches; but her district is not as red as others on this list.
Frank Kratovil
MD-01
Yes
40-58
freshman
If Pelosi convinces him that he will lose anyway, perhaps?
Betsy Markey
CO-04
Yes
49-50
freshman
She's a Blue Dog. The Democratic leadership let her be the main sponsor of the bill repealing the anti-trust exemption; might she repay them by voting "yes"?
Eric Massa
NY-29
Probably
48-51
freshman
He is fundraising off his initial vote for health-care, but he is one of the most obvious votes for the leadership to target.
Jim Matheson
UT-02
Probably not
39-57
No
Would be surprised if he votes "yes," but in recent comments he was less hostile than other Blue Dogs. He's a Blue Dog.
Michael McMahon
NY-03
Perhaps
49-51
freshman
Mike McIntyre
NC-07
No
47-52
No
The filing deadline passed in North Carolina, and the GOP failed to recruit a credible challenger despite the district's red lean. Despite McIntyre's conservatism, that alone makes him a target to leadership pressure. He's a Blue Dog.
Glenn Nye
VA-02
Yes
51-49
freshman
He's a Blue Dog, a freshman and he faces a tough race in November - a tough combination for Pelosi. But he also represents one of the few Obama districts on this list, so he is sure to face more pressure than others.
Colin Peterson
MN-07
Probably not
47-50
No
Committee chairman. He's a Blue Dog.
Ike Skelton
MO-04
Yes
38-61
No
He's a Blue Dog. The abortion issue could prevent Pelosi from convincing him.
John Tanner
TN-08
Retiring
43-56
No
His retirement is prompting talk he might be more wiling to help his party, though he looks likely to do so than Baird and Gordon. He's a Blue Dog.
