Since the public option has been dropped, the pressure will be on him to pass the health care bill.  No public option means they got Lieberman. They bought off Landrieu in Louisiana. One step on the way to 60 votes is Nelson in Nebraska.

They (the administration) have already rumored that Offutt might be closed if he doesn't vote for it. There's a 500 million earmark waiting for him, too, if he votes for it ($800 million in buyouts for 2 senators, no wonder McCaskill in MO is itching for some attention).

Make sure everyone you know in his state knows about this, and calls him too. He can't let the pressure get to him, at all. He's the 60th vote. I know you know how important that fact is.

Please, let them know!

If you are in favor of this bill, you should let him know, too, so he can vote for you. Just remember, the majority of americans are not in favor of this. It spells financial doom for health care, and for our economy. Read up on it, and do the math.  But, the next 24-48 hours are the most important.  Otherwise, it might not get passed before Xmas, and the reps will be back for vacation in  their district, and will be open to criticism from you, their constituents.

Be heard!
