WHY YOU SHOULD LOBBY CONGRESS
Citizens may feel it is a waste of time to contact elected leaders, because their minds are made up already. But on most issues, legislators try hard to determine the desires and leanings of their constituency before they vote. Politicians worry about being re-elected, and know that the happier their constituency, the
more likely their own re-election.
DIRTY HARRY REID & LIBERAL DEMOCRATS VOTED DOWN THE AMERICAN PEOPLE!
The Senate voted Monday to reject a Republican-backed bid to delay ObamaCare as part of a crucial government spending package, sending the bill back to the House with just hours left on the clock until the government begins to shut down.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, as expected, moved to kill two House amendments that would have delayed the health care law and repealed its unpopular medical device tax. The Senate voted 54-46, along party lines, to do so.
House leaders will now have to decide whether to make a counter-offer or accept the Senate bill. Without a resolution, the government is expected to start shutting down after midnight.
Fox News has learned Republican House leaders are examining several options for what to present as a counterproposal.
In a rare note of optimism, President Obama said earlier Monday that he's "not at all resigned" to a shutdown.
But the path forward is not clear. With nothing less than the operation of government on the line, the battle in Congress over ObamaCare was shaping into a test of wills.
Boehner had pressured Reid to accept his chamber's version. "It's time for the Senate to listen to the American people, just like the House has listened to the American people," House Speaker John Boehner said Monday morning.
But Reid has outright stated he will not accept any measures that undermine the health care law as part of the budget bill. With the bill back on the House side, Boehner and Reid now face off with their final set of chess moves in a very narrow time frame. Lawmakers have until midnight to strike a deal.
On Sunday, House Republican Whip Kevin McCarthy indicated his caucus might still have a few more plays left.
"We have other options for the Senate to look at," he told "Fox News Sunday."

THE COUNTDOWN TO OBAMACARE
On October 1st, millions of Americans will be required to enroll in Obamacare and could lose access to their doctors and be forced to pay higher premiums and higher taxes. But there's still time to stop it. Republicans in Congress can stop Obamacare if they refuse to fund it.
