Arrogant Baucus
Tuesday, 05 May 2009 16:53 Clark Newhall


Today Mad Max Baucus showed us what he means when he says ‘single payer is off the table.’ When single payer advocates politely asked for a seat at the table, where 15 insurance flunkies were waiting to testify to his Senate committee, Sen. Baucus sneered at them and told them they would get more police. That gave all of Baucus' fellow insurance flunkies (and all the other clowns in the hearing room) a big laugh. Then Baucus hypocritically told the audience how much he respected single payer, as the police were arresting eight people who just wanted to present a point of view. I am angry about this arrogant abuse of power. If you are angry, now is your chance to tell Baucus. Call 800-578-4171, choose option 1, and connect to his office. if no one answers, it probably is because Baucus is too chicken to even listen to the angry messages.

Alternatively, call each one of his offices in Montana. Here are the phone numbers: Billings
[phone]; Bozeman [phone]; Butte [phone]; Great Falls [phone], [phone] (TDD); Helena [phone]; Kalispell [phone];Missoula [phone]; Washington D.C. [phone](Office),[phone] (Fax)

1. Add Schumer to the mix

His aide hung up on a caller who protested the need for single payer. Not too promising coming from two of *our own*.

2. I just called and spoke to a nice gentlemen.. however,

i live in florida and this person asked me where i reside. Obviosly he is not my senator so I don' tknow if this person will relay the message of my outrage because i am not one of his constituents...

Maybe other DUers from Montana should call the office.

3. I have already sent my sentiments

to Baucus and Tester regarding the cramdown bill -

I will definitely get in touch with him over this

He has turned into the consummate shill for corporate interests, what a total asshole he has turned out to be

4. you should bring that out when you call or contact him...

obviously you voted for him and supported his campaign because he was going to represent and work for you. .It is clear most of these guys represents the interests of big corps and insurance companies and don't give a hoot about us.

Let him know you will NOT support him in the future if he doesn't support the presidents plan on closing offshore tax loopholes and single payer..
