I think that if HCR passes we one the left should start a campaign that runs from NOW until the November elections. And it's pretty simple, will take you maybe 5 minutes, and costs about about $1.32 plus 3 envelopes and a piece of paper anytime you do it.
Last year, Senator Jim Demint said when HCR fails, that would be Obama's "Waterloo". Thus stating what most of us knew already. The GOP was never going to operate in good faith.
So ... I suggest when it passes, we all send a letter to the offices of the following (I believe these addresses are correct):
Senator Jim Demint
340 Russell
United States Senate
Washington, DC 20510
Representative John Boehner
1011 Longworth H.O.B.
Washington, DC 20515
Senator Mitch McConnell
361-A Russell Senate Office Building
Washington, DC 20510
The text of my letter appears the following line.

Dear Sir,
Remember Waterloo?
To help you remember Waterloo, here is where you can get the ring tone FREE!!
http://ringtones.ez-tracks.com/ringtone-19494.htmlAnd here are the lyrics.
My, my, at Waterloo Napoleon did surrender
Oh yeah, and I have met my destiny in quite a similar way
The history book on the shelf
Is always repeating itself
Waterloo - I was defeated, you won the war
Waterloo - Promise to love you for ever more
Waterloo - Couldn't escape if I wanted to
Waterloo - Knowing my fate is to be with you
Waterloo - Finally facing my Waterloo
My, my, I tried to hold you back but you were stronger
Oh yeah, and now it seems my only chance is giving up the fight
And how could I ever refuse
I feel like I win when I lose
Waterloo - I was defeated, you won the war
Waterloo - Promise to love you for ever more
Waterloo - Couldn't escape if I wanted to
Waterloo - Knowing my fate is to be with you
Waterloo - Finally facing my Waterloo
So how could I ever refuse
I feel like I win when I lose -
Waterloo - Couldn't escape if I wanted to
Waterloo - Knowing my fate is to be with you
Waterloo - Finally facing my Waterloo
Sincerely,
A proud American

Oh ... and don't put your own address as the return address, just use one of the three addressed above. That way it gets to one of these jerks no matter what.
