Ellsworth Is A Yes
4 minutes ago

Huffington Post and Greg Sargent are reporting that Rep. Brad Ellsworth (D-IN), a pro-life Democrat, is voting yes on health care. In a statement, Ellsworth says that he decided to vote yes after receiving assurances from the Catholic Health Association and Catholic nuns that the legislation upholds the Hyde Amendment.

Sorry, corrected that. Ellsworth was a yes before, wavering now. Kosmas was the flipper.

1. don't think ellsworth was a no before

am I wrong?

2. He voted yes but had concerns over the abortion language in the bill, we need him.

Kosmas was a no before.

3. He can't make up his mind.

He lives in a district where voters probably don't think or understand anything.

And then he is probably conflicted because he will be running for U.S. Senator. So his constituents will be the whole state instead of the 8th District.

4. So surprised at Kosmas flip, maybe all the calls helped

I've made several over the past few weeks plus e-mails. I guess the pressure was on and she wants to keep her seat. I'm happy she relented.

5. Thanks for calling and emailing! I DO think it helps.

You helped!

I've been trying to all her DC office and her Orlando office for the past few days and kept getting a busy signal.
