Being the 60th and deciding vote in the U.S. Senate on anything having to do with healthcare these days isn’t a good thing for anyone since most of the country is against the government takeover of healthcare.
Even worse if you represent a state like Arkansas where only 18% of registered voter strongly favor healthcare reform and 56% of voters strongly oppose the plans.
Senator Blanche Lincoln (D-AR) is up for re-election in 2010 and could be one of the first casualties of legislators who cast votes, especially deciding votes, for the government takeover of healthcare and government funding of abortion, which a big majority of Americans also despise.
The Susan B. Anthony List, an organization that helps to elect pro-life leaders, isn’t letting Senator Lincoln off the hook. In fact, starting this week, they are running brutally truthful ads that let Arkansans know exactly what she voted for:
The Saturday before Thanksgiving, Senator Blanche Lincoln had a choice. Stand up for Arkansas families and unborn life …or follow Barack Obama and Harry Reid and cast the deciding vote to allow the government takeover of health care. The Democrat-Gazette called it “the most significant vote Senator Lincoln’s ever cast in an otherwise unremarkable political career.”
Her choice? Senator Lincoln voted with Obama and Reid. She voted to put bureaucrats in charge of your health care, voted to raise taxes and kill jobs. Blanche Lincoln voted to allow federal dollars to pay for abortions. She voted with her DC friends, and against our values.
Call Blanche Lincoln at 501-375-2993. Tell her putting Obama and Reid before Arkansas families and unborn life is wrong. Tell Blanche Lincoln she was better off just being unremarkable. Paid for by Susan B. Anthony List, Inc.
Listen to it here: Unremarkable- Lincoln AR
Unremarkable? Ouch.
