Congressman Dan Lipinski (D-3rd) Illinois Is Undecided How He'll Vote On HCR Bill.......
this I learned upon calling his office yesterday. This guy is a complete joke. After all the deliberations on HCR - this guy still can't make up his mind. I was told he voted for the House version but he doesn't like the current Senate version. Also told - that calls coming in to his office are against HCR. I can't understand this - because it seems to me the people in his district are voting against themselves if this is true.

Anyway - if any of you live in Lipinski's district - give his office a call and ask that he support this HCR that will be coming to a vote soon. I know that some of you are probably not all excited about this bill - but it's the only hope we have going forward for Health Care. It is a real good start and could be molded into something that we can all be proud of once the first step is taken.

This is perhaps the most important piece of legislation that Lapinski will ever have a chance at voting on. Right now it looks like he is lining up on the wrong side of it.

The people in his office are rude and arrogant just like Lapinski - so be prepared if you call them. His office number in Washington D.C. is: 1-202-225=5701.

This guy inherited this congressional seat from his father. I heard his family doesn't even live in the district (hearsay - not yet validated). He really is so wishy-washy it's a wonder that a guy like this keeps getting re-elected. But there is a big Polish influence in his district and the '-ski' at the end of his name helps.

I think he sits on Stupak's team as well. Birds of a feather.

2. It all depends on how much he can milk it for.
All the Democratic no votes learned a lesson from Ben Nelson and Joe Lieberman. The Administration is willing to give away anything and everything to get this one victory, so hold out for the moon and they will probably get it..
