Well Thank You Congressman Dan Lipinski (D-IL 3rd) For Voting No On Health Care........
now I won't get a chance to see the President in our district here in Illinois. Why? Because Senior White House and organized labor officials are shot a warning across your bow that those House Democrats who supported health care legislation last year only to oppose the final measure on Sunday shouldn’t expect assistance for their reelection campaigns this fall.

Yes - Congressman - you are one of those 5 that voted 'no'.

You have so annoyed top Democrats that there is also open talk of finding opponents to ensure you pay a steep political price for changing your vote.

Organized labor says that they are looking at candidates they can trust to run against you, either through a primary or in the general election. And they noted that recruitment conversations are already under way.

We in the district will be working with organized labor and the WH to find your replacement and vote to assure that you become unemployed.

We sent you to Congress to work for the people. You only worked for yourself. Hope your happy.

I'm not - like I said above - you sealed the deal by voting 'no' - and now I won't get a chance to meet the President in our district - because he's not coming here because of you. Thanks!!!!!

1. Your problem
is that Illinois has already had their primary for this year. So, you will have to wait until 2012 for that primary challenge.

2. I won't be seeing the Prez in the Fall
either..another blue chickendog.

It's really too bad when someone you worked to elect for the first time in 2008 didn't come through for the people in 2010..cause he's chicken.

4. My biggest issue with Lipinski is that he is a freakin diabetic (like me) of all things.
Nice to see that he only cares about his ability to get insurance and not the other diabetic adults and children who will eventually not be denied insurance under this bill. Idiot. I wonder if he knows how much test strips and insulin cost without insurance.
