It's a 'Code Red' week for the members of Congress. President Obama has strongly hinted that he wants a vote on health care by Friday. The White House press secretary, Robert Gibbs said he thought a bill would be passed this week, but some folks on the right have sworn to "Kill the Bill."
In Washington, D.C., Republicans and Tea Party members are holding "Code Red" rallies. The protesters are rallying around the phrase "Kill the Bill," and are decked out with signs courtesy of the Republican National Committee.
Rush Limbaugh urged folks to call their representatives today during his radio show:
"The lines are busy. Some people are getting through and some people aren't, but what you can also do is Google "Code Red." Just put in "Code Red." Just search for it."
Rush is directing folks who are searching for Code Red to
this site. It lists each state representative's contact information and indicates how each one voted last November.
With so much contradictory information out there, it's hard to tell exactly what's going on in Congress right now. Will we see a health care bill by the end of the week? It's hard to tell. But it's definitely a Code Red sort of week, for both Democrats and Republicans.
