As you know, this week Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid introduced a 2,074 page health care reform bill. Legislation Senator Nelson characterized as a ‘bad bill’ during an ABC News interview that you can watch by clicking here. Yet this week, Senator Nelson has indicated he is willing to work with Democratic Leadership to bring this ‘bad bill’ to the Senate floor.

We have seen incredible support from grassroots activists like you to oppose a government-run health care plan. Thanks to your efforts, all three Nebraska Members of the House of Representatives; Reps. Jeff Fortenberry, Adrian Smith and Lee Terry voted against the government take over of health care.

Do not let this weekend’s vote in the House discourage you; our grassroots efforts have been successful!

While it would have been fantastic had the House of Representatives defeated the government-run health care bill, and the billions of dollars in new taxes that come along with it, do not be discouraged by an extremely narrow 220-215 vote.

The purpose of this postis to brag about the good work we have done together to mobilize thousands of grassroots activists in Nebraska for the cause of limited government and personal freedom.
