A Message To The Blue Dogs

Floor Speech

Mr. Speaker, I have a message today for the 52 Blue Dog Democrats out there, 40 of whom are conservative Democrats in districts that President Bush carried, and my message is loud and clear for them today, and that is that your leadership is making you walk the plank on this health care bill. Don't do it. Don't fall for it. Don't take the bait, for it will be your political suicide.

Stand with us on the Republican side. Stand with us conservatives to defeat the Pelosi health care bill. You have the power to defeat this government takeover of our health care system and the takeover of one-sixth of our economy. You have the opportunity to do something right for America. Stand with us. Stand with us as conservatives. Stand up for the American people
