In the past few days, nineteen House Democrats who previously voted yes
have moved closer to voting no according to the latest Republican whip
count.  Ten of those nineteen are at the receiving end of League of
American Voters ads.  So the ads are definitely working!  Let's keep
piling on!!!

On his website, Hannity.com
<http://reports.dickmorris.com/t/2557134/11848675/17991/0/?u=aHR0cDovL3d
3dy5oYW5uaXR5LmNvbS8%3d&x=fd5731d3> , Sean Hannity is publishing a whip
count on the House votes on Obamacare.  He is drawing on Republican
sources in the House and press reports, so it's not as accurate as
Pelosi's count, but it gives us an idea of what is going on. 

The Hannity count shows fourteen House Democrats moving to positions
more in favor of the bill and nineteen moving to become more opposed.
(I do not include in this count any of Stupak's pro-life Democrats
because I don't trust them to hold out against the bill and think they
will cave in the end).

The following are the House members who voted no last year on Obamacare
who are reportedly warming to the bill and might be in danger of
switching their votes to yes: (an asterisk * denotes those who have
moved even more decisively for the bill):   

Adler, NJ
Altmire, Pa* 
Baird, Wash*         
Boucher, Va.         
Gordon, Tenn* (is retiring, so more immune to pressure)        
Kosmas, Fla         
Kratovil, Md        
Kucinich, Ohio        
Markey, Col        
McMahon, NY        
Murphy, NY
Nye, Va
Tanner, Tenn (is retiring, so more immune to pressure) 

In addition, Eric Massa of New York, who voted no, has resigned from the
House losing an additional vote against the bill.

But their possible defections are more than countered by the following
members who voted yes last year who are reportedly moving closer to a
vote against the bill.  Again, an asterisk means a more decisive move
against it:
        
Arcuri* NY                
Dahlkemper* Pa        
Connolly* Va        
Ellsworth* Ind        
Berry*, Ark  (retiring)                    
Cuellar* Texas        
Gifford* Ariz
McInerney* Cal
Pomeroy* ND
Carney, Pa
Kanjorski, Pa
Kirkpatrick, Ariz
Mollohan, WV
Rahill, WV
Space, Ohio
Titus, Nevada 

In addition, Congressman John Murtha, who voted yes, has died and
Louisiana Republican Joseph Cao, who cast the lone GOP vote for the bill
now indicates he will vote against it.  Congressman Wexler of Florida
has resigned and a replacement is not to be chosen until next month,
costing the bill another vote.

So, 19 members have moved closer to voting no while 14 have moved closer
to voting yes.

Of the nineteen who have moved closer to voting no, ten are the subject
of League of American Voters ads:  Arcuri, Dahlkemper, Gifford, Pomeroy,
Carney, Kanjorski, Kirkpatrick, Mollohan, Rahill, and Space. 

But we have an urgent need to advertise in the eleven districts where
members who voted no are moving toward a yes vote.  Please send us funds
right now so we can put ads in their districts on Monday.  (The vote
will probably come at the end of next week unless they don't have the
votes to pass it).

By the whip count, you can see how close the vote is.  We need to keep
redoubling our efforts!
