Last Tuesday, the Senate health committee voted 12-11 in favor of a two-page amendment courtesy of Republican Tom Coburn that would require all Members and their staffs to enroll in any new government run health plan. Yet all Democrats — with the exceptions of acting chairman Chris Dodd, Barbara Mikulski and Ted Kennedy via proxy — voted nay.

It took me less than a minute to sign up to require our congressmen and senators to drink at the same trough! Three cheers for Congressman John Fleming of Louisiana! Congressman John Fleming (Louisiana physician) has proposed an amendment that would require congressmen and senators to take the same healthcare plan they force on us (under proposed legislation they are curiously exempt).

Congressman Fleming is encouraging people to go on his website and sign his petition (very simple to do). You can find it here:
http://fleming.house.gov/index.html.

You might want to stick this in an email and urge as many people as you can to do the same. If Congress forces this on the American people, the Congressmen should have to accept the same level of health care for themselves and their families.

Done and I am happy to see you don't have to prove you are from his district. I just heard today on KLIF, in Dallas, that the argument from politicians that they only listen to the people in their own district and that others have their own representatives went out the window when they started accepting money form outside their district and I think that is a very valid point.

Sorry, somehow I lost a period in that URL in the OP. I fixed it there, but thanks for smoothing it out, PointnClick. Seems to be working now on this end, CopperKnight, try it again....
