Scott Brown claims he wants to do “the will of the people” So let’s help him out by telling him what we, the people and his constituents, want. Contact his office today and tell him you want him to vote for the reconciliation bill. (He is going to have a hard time not voting for it since it gets rid of the so-called “giveaways” the Republicans seemed so agitated about.)
Please share widely!

Lately, whenever I get the answering machine, it tells me that the mailbox is full and can’t accept any more messages. I think the Senator needs to get some more staffers…

Listened to his canned retort on NPR twice this morning…eee-gawd.

p>Best comment was the pop music station guy who commented that the Republicans did nothing to reform health care when they had the power. The system is broken, this may only be a treatment step and not the cure but let’s move forward.

In terms of policy, this should be a really simple Yes vote for Brown. Sure, he opposes the health care reform bill overall, but that’s a done deal now. It passed and he can’t vote against it. However, as Mike Capuano pointed out in detail, the bill that passed carries some significant disadvantages for Massachusetts.
<
p>Capuano was constructive: he laid out the problems, participated in the negotiations, and used his vote as a bargaining chip to get fixes for many of these problems into the reconciliation bill. I’m pretty sure he always wanted to vote yes, but declining to commit to a yes may have allowed him more leverage to fix these things.
<
p>So now Brown is faced with the fait accompli of reform, a bill that’s definitely becoming law that disadvantages Massachusetts, and a package of small modifications to the law that fixes that. Opposition to reform or not, what reason could he possibly have prefer the Senate bill that already passed without the changes, over passing these changes?
<
p>All I can think of is the Republicans’ nearly-mindless “no on everything the Democrats want” habits. If Brown votes against the reconciliation bill, it’ll be evidence that that sort of extremist Republican politics is more important to him than the state he’s supposed to represent.
