H. Res. 615 Update

In my inbox comes word that Congressman John Fleming is pushing ahead with his measure (HR 615)to force all members of Congress who vote for a "public plan" to themselves enroll in that plan for their health care.

You will be pleased to know that more than 100 Members of Congress joined in support of H. Res. 615, my common sense measure calling on Members who vote for an intrusive government-administered health care plan to enroll in that system. Since launching this effort, nearly 3 million Americans like you have contacted my office in support of H. Res. 615. In response I offered an amendment to the Democratic Leadership health care bill to automatically enroll all Members of Congress and all Senators in the public option. Predictably, my amendment was rejected out of hand by the Majority and was not given a vote on the floor of the House of Representatives.

Keep up the good work Congressman!
