Reince Priebus, Chairman of the Republican Party of Wisconsin, is encouraging people in opposition to the health care bill to call Wisconsin Democrats who are on the fence.
Priebus writes:
According to the MacIver Institute, Rep. Ron Kind from Western Wisconsin is still undecided as to how he will vote.
Rep. Steve Kagen from Northeast Wisconsin won’t give a clear answer as to where he stands on the bill, either.
Wisconsin Democrats who are on the fence absolutely must hear from each of us!

I know Obama is usually the one doing the bowing, but in this case, it's Democrat members of Congress he is bribing and bullying to bow to him.
Will these Wisconsin Democrats bow to Obama and Nancy Pelosi rather than listen to their constituents? Will they act as representatives of the people of Wisconsin or will they march in lockstep with the Washington thugs?
Where is their allegiance? Do they serve the voters in Wisconsin?
The more calls they receive from us, the more difficult it might be for them to ignore the will of the people. They might have second thoughts about casting a yes vote that at its core is meant to blatantly subvert the Constitution.
Michael W. McConnell writes in the Wall Street Journal:
One thing is sure: To proceed in this way creates an unnecessary risk that the legislation will be invalidated for violation of Article I, Section 7. Will wavering House members want to use this procedure when there is a nontrivial probability that the courts will render their political sacrifice wasted effort? To hazard that risk, the House leadership must have a powerful motive to avoid a straightforward vote.
If the Wisconsin representatives vote with Obama and Pelosi, they seal their fates.
I think it's safe to deem them losers in the 2010 election.
