We need constituents calling their members and demanding passage of this legislation. It would be ideal to get at minimum 1000 calls per congressional district. Obviously Democratic districts are most important, but the Congressional aide said that Republican districts should not be ignored.

The Congressional aide said phone calls from constituents are the single most effective way to get these people to do their jobs. Always remember, these people we send to Washington to do our business, are primordial unfeeling beasts, and react to only two stimuli, MONEY and VOTES.

You and I have the votes. Now we need to let them know, that we will dump then overnight if they fail on our business which is healthcare reform.

We will be calling Speaker Pelosi: the ask for her will be to expedite the passage of the reconciliation bill in the House--have it pass the House. Then we'd ask her to pass the Senate bill after the Senate passes the reconciliation bill.

The ask for Harry Reid will be: Allow reconciliation to proceed immediately.

Now to all of you who want the House to simply pass the Senate bill, without any assurance of the fixes which over 120 members of the Housedeem essential, you are obviously free to say whatever you want to whomever you call on the 24th and 25th. But the betting remains that these House members won't proceed, without a guarantee that, some of their profound concerns with the Senate bill be addressed and remedied through reconciliation.

The demand on your member of Congress will be for them to step up and pass the healthcare bill.

In the Senate we will focus on the 59 in the Democratic minority majority. Again, this aide said, there might (though it's unlikely, he conceded) be one or two republicans who could decide at the very last moment to do the right thing and vote for the American people, especially if several are flooded with calls from constituents.

The demand on your Senator (especially those we can count on for reconciliation) will be to vote for reconciliation.

On these two days, we'll also ask you to call the White House, though calling the White House should be your last call, we need to focus on the House and Senate throughout these two critical days.
