From the Desk of:
Steve Elliott, Grassfire Nation
We expect the dirty backroom deal on ObamaCare to be
struck this week. But final passage is not yet guaranteed.
See below for six ways ObamaCare can still be defeated
(including the "Massachusetts Miracle").
--Steve
Dear Patriot,
With Harry Reid under the gun for his "negro dialect" comments
and public opposition to ObamaCare continuing to increase,
the pressure is mounting for Democrats to finalize their
backroom deal.
We believe that deal could be struck this week. Reid and
Pelosi will agree to bypass the traditional House-Senate
Conference and rush identical bills back to their chambers
for a final vote.
But with each passing day, their secretive strategy is getting
more difficult.
And although ObamaCare is still likely to pass and be signed
into law, this is not a done deal!
In fact, we have identified six possible scenarios that could
cause ObamaCare to be defeated.
I'll start with the least likely...
#6--Union blues
The left is nearly as angry as the Right, calling the Reid bill
a bailout for the insurance industry. The unions are upset
about the tax on their so-called "Cadillac" health care plans
and want that removed. The Left has held the coalition together
with a "live together, die alone" motto, but politics changes
with the wind. And the Left knows the winds are changing. I
list this first because it is the least likely. But it is
still possible.
#5--One Democrat Senator can't make it to the floor to vote.
Despite the backroom deals and dirty tricks, as we understand
it there will be one more final cloture vote in the Senate.
Rules require 60 votes to invoke cloture. If one Democrat
Senator can't make it to the floor, for any reason (health,
accident, death etc.) they don't have 60 votes.
#4--The Cornhusker Kickback kicks back.
Arnold Schwarzenegger told California's members of Congress
to vote NO unless their state also gets the Cornhusker
Kickback. Now Dems are scrambling to give every state a
kickback. The more talk about kickbacks and the more
uncomfortable everyone is with this entire fiasco.
#3--Abortion issue divides Democrats.
Rep. Bart Stupak has already voiced his opposition to Nelson's
compromise and says he has the votes to stop any abortion-
funding ObamaCare bill. An equal number of House Democrats
have vowed to torpedo any final bill that includes Stupak's
amendment. One group must blink for ObamaCare to pass.
#2--Three House Democrats change their votes.
Abortion is just one of the issues dividing Democrats. Rep.
Cantor has identified 34 House Democrats who are facing a
very difficult vote based on three issues: abortion, Medicare
Advantage, and state budget crises. It is now an election year.
The pressure is building. If three members feel enough heat
to switch their votes, ObamaCare fails.
#1--The Massachusetts Miracle.
The Bay State's special election next week to fill the late
Sen. Kennedy's seat is now a tossup in some polls, and
Republican candidate Scott Brown has pledged to be the
41st vote to block ObamaCare. If Brown is seated before
the final ObamaCare vote, game over. There is already
talk that if Brown wins, Democrats will stall his election
certification in order to keep him from casting the
deciding vote.
The special election is next Tuesday (1/19), before any final
votes will be cast on ObamaCare. If a Republican takes Teddy
Kennedy's seat, I say all bets are off. Democrats from
coast-to-coast will suddenly get a lot more nervous about
voting for ObamaCare. Unlike old king Belshazzar in the
book of Daniel, they won't need a prophet to interpret the
"handwriting on the wall" -- vote now for ObamaCare and
get defeated in November.

Scott Brown Campaign: Our "Gettysburg"
All hands on deck! The Jan. 19 special election may be our Gettysburg! [This is a guest column from a great national activist whose handle is "Tempus Sans."]
Please realize folks that the special election in Mass. on Jan. 19 to replace the late Ted Kennedy would be a complete turning point for us if Republican Scott Brown wins. He would be the 41st vote we need to stop the Obama, reid, pelosi agenda. Even if Obamacare goes through, this would stop cap n trade, and stop the most damaging illegal immigration reform ever set forth by a congress and a president.
The Dems are positioning themselves to make all 20 million illegals instantly legal, securing enough votes to give the dems indefinite power. Scott Brown's election would stop all this dead in its tracks. Scott Brown was only recently 30 pts behind Martha Coakley and has surged to within a few percentage points. He desperately needs money and people to make phone calls for him(boots on the ground). There is nothing more important then this race right now!
Go to this site and please lend a hand!

BrowN Drawing Even in Massachusetts
n Dear Friends: This morning on FOX News Democratic pollster Doug Schoen said that with a "most likely voter" poll, conservative Republican Senate candidate Scott Brown in MA has drawn within TWO percentage points of his far-left Democrat opponent (Martha Coakley).
This is wonderful news, but we have more work to do to make sure Scott wins in the Jan. 19 special election. [NOTE: SCROLL DOWN FOR INFORMATION ON PHONE CALLS.)
If Scott Brown wins on Jan. 19, he will be a strong opponent of ObamaCare; he will vote against the Cap-and-Tax bill; he will oppose tax increases. He will vote against the liberals' socialization of nearly everything. Unlike Coakley and Obama, Scott does not shrink away from using the phrase "War on Terror."
In contrast, his opponent will be another robotic liberal, one in favor of everything on Obama's, Pelosi's, and Reid's destructive agenda.
Scott would be the critical 41st vote in the U.S. Senate.
http://www.brownforussenate.com/
His election would be mark the beginning of the end of the Obama presidency.
What about Scott's opponent, Martha Coakley? There's an excellent piece out on her today, and I urge you to read it (see link below). She's a symbol of everything that's wrong with American politics.
Martha Coakley: Our Nightmare Scenario Rabid Republican Blog
http://rabidrepublicanblog.com/2009/12/29/martha-coakley-our-nightmare-scenario/
One woman told me that her family's difficult financial circumstances made it impossible right now for her to donate to Scott's campaign. But she told me she was praying for Scott; I told her that was more than enough.
Yes, if you can, please donate to Scott at his web site. Just as important, you can learn on his site how to can call into in MA for Scott from your home phone. Activists are making tens of thousands of such calls from nearly every state in the union.
If Scott wins by a relative handful of votes, you will have made the difference.
I hope youi'll make such calls. You can make 20 of them -- or you can make a thousand. On my blog today (www.stevemaloneygop.blogspot.com), I'll put up a short piece about making such calls painlessly -- and effectively.
The battle for the Massachusetts Senate seat is one of the most important races in my lifetime. We are so close to winning it that all of us can taste it.
Please give Scott every type of help you can provide. And God bless all of you for the heroic work you've already done.

MAKING PHONE CALLS FOR A CANDIDATE
On phone calls: if you make 20 of them on behalf of a candidate, you can get him or her 1-2-3extra votes. If you make 20,000 (!!!!), as my friend Sharon Caliendo of Oklahoma did, you can get your candidate(s) roughly 500-1000 additional votes. You'll induce people to go vote who would otherwise stay home.
You can learn how to make phone calls from your home to any state. See how it works by going to Senate candidate Scott Brown's web site: www.brownforussenate.com. After you visit, please make at least a few phone calls for Scott, who is very close to victory in that critical election.
When a candidate gives you a script to use on his or her behalf, look at it carefully. Make sure it's up-to-date (often they aren't). Also, make sure each word is one you'd use in real life. For example, if the script contains the word "country" and you'd be more comfortable using "nation," then make the change.
When you make the calls, you should be giving the recipient (note: you'll get a lot of voice mails), at least one good reason (e.g., "He's committed to reducing taxes") to vote for your candidate . . . and asking them to vote for a specific candidate (e.g., Scott Brown) on a particular day (Jan. 19, 2009).
Be confident and positive -- no monotones -- as you deliver your message. NEVER fight with a caller about candidates or issues. If you get any resistance -- and that will be rare -- thank the person for his or her time and then go on to the next call. You're calling to make friends for your candidate; your secondary purpose is to avoid making enemies.
If someone asks you a question -- this will be rare also -- where you don't know the answer, tell the person you will find out the answer . . . and call back. Then, do it.
What you're aiming for is something that might sound contradictory: controlled enthusiasm. You are going to be making one phone call after another . . . to help your candidate win. If you're really on your game, you should be able to make 30--35 phone calls per hour.
Your script should be no more than 100 words. To the greatest degree possible, they should be words that convey positive emotions. Psych yourself up if necessary.
One useful tactic: call up your own voice mail and then see how well you did. Were there any words that didn't "work?" Were you enthusiastic -- but not to the point of silliness?
With some calls, the candidate may ask you to do a survey, such as asking recipients if they've made a decision yet on a candidate. Note: Don't ever mention the opponent's name (in this case, Martha Coakley). You may ask something like this: "Have you decided yet whether you'll vote for Scott Brown . . . or his opponent?") If you're asking such questions, you are indeed conducting a survey. If you can mention Scott's name a couple of times it will help him, because his "name recognition" is not as good yet as it could be.
As with almost anything life, phone calls are mainly a matter of you using common sense. What would work with you will work with the people you call?
When I was making calls for McCain-Palin, I used to say, "Hello, my name is Steve Maloney . . . from Ambridge, PA . . . and I'm calling on behalf of Sen. John McCain and Gov. Sarah Palin . . .
When you start making calls, you'll be surprised at how quickly you'll get good at it. If you have any questions, contact me at: TalkTop65@aol.com.
Please pass this information on to any candidate you know. Thanks and God bless.

MA: Scott Brown Getting Closer
A current Rasmussen Poll has Martha Coakley (D) leading Scott Brown (R) by 9% (50-41, with 7% undecided) in the Massachusetts race for the seat formerly held by Teddy Kennedy.
Brown has steadily been cutting into Coakley's lead, and the massive support he's receiving from you and other onliners is making a difference. The special election will be held on January 19, two weeks from today.
The dynamics of this race are working in Brown's favor. His opponent, Martha Coakley, would make about as good a U.S. Senator as she would a partridge in a pear tree. It's an off-year, off-month election, and Scott Brown has all the momentum.
How can we bring Scott across the finish line a few inches ahead of his opponent? By doing what we've done so far -- contributing money and volunteering to make phone calls -- only to do more of them.
www.brownforussenate.com
Scott is a conservative Republican, opposed to the health care monstrosity and to the Cap-and-Tax abomination. Let's do everything we can to put this good man in the U.S. Senate.
When a Democrat candidate (Coakley) in Massachusetts, is polling 50% or less, her campaign is not exactly in high gear.
This race is winnable. I've always believed that and still do. Thanks for your help.

Republican Candidates: Winning in 2010
Starting today, I'll be sending out mailings (from time to time) directed at candidates, and I'm going to put you on the list as a possible candidate for US Senate from Hawaii.
[Note: Scott Brown's website is at: http://www.brownforussenate.com/ ]
There is a big problem with the "traditional" topdown way of running for office. Over-reliance on Beltway types, including John Cornyn at the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) and Pete Sessions at the Republican Campaign Congressional Committee (RCCC), is a disaster.
The NRSC has invested significant money in two primary campaigns in this decade: the Arlen Specter race against conservative Pat Toomey in 2004 and the Lincoln Chaffee race in 2006. In other words, the NRSC spent significant money in primaries backing the two most liberal Republicans in the Senate. (Chaffee won the primary and lost the general. Arlen Specter? Read on . . . )
This year, John Cornyn endorsed Arlen Specter against Toomey, just before Arlen admitted he was in fact a liberal Democrat. Cornyn also endorsed liberal FL Republican Charlie Crist who, it turns out, has no chance of winning the Florida primary against conservative Marco Rubio.
As for Pete Sessions and RCCC: the biggest investment they've made recently has been the nearly one million dollars spent on backing Dede Scozzafava in the New York 23d congressional race. Of course, Scozzafava, before she endorsed the liberal Democrat Bill Owens (who won in a close race), dropped out because she had little support.
Who in his or her right mind is going to contribute to the NRSC or the RCCC?
If conservative Republican candidates want support from the vast Tea Party movement, they had better prepare to take several of them to DC to work on their congressional or senatorial staffs.
There are in fact ways that a young woman could become a member of the US Senate from Hawaii. It might not happen in a race this year against left-wing Democrat Inouye. It could happen in a future race against left-wing Senator Akaka. (There is a Republican Governor, Linda Lingle, in that state where Republicans supposedly can't win.)
Rhode Island may be the most liberal state in the Union. But it has a conservative Republican Governor. In Joe Biden's liberal Delaware, a Republican candidate for the US Senate (Mike Castle) is running well ahead in the polls.
There are ways to win uphill (even "up mountain") races. One way is to turn the race into a national crusade, as Rubio has done in Florida). Other people who have "nationalized" their races effectively were Barack Obama, Bob McDonnell (in VA), and Chris Christie in NJ.
Many of us are trying to use the same approach with Scott Brown, who's running for the US Senate from Massachusetts and, guess what, it's working. The Scott Brown campaign has reported a tremendous upsurge in online donations and volunteers. I played a role in that . . . and so have many other activists.
I believe all the candidates I'm supporting can win -- and will win if they wage 21st century campaigns. They will not win if they follow the 19th century approach favored by so many Beltway types.
Political superstar Cindy Reidhead in New Mexico said a year ago about political races: "The one who has the best e-mail list . . . wins." What was Cindy talking about? Consider the following comment by David Plouffe, who ran Obama's "digital campaign":
"Our e-mail list [in the Obama Campaign] had reached 13 million people [an average of 27,000 for each congressional district].
"We had essentially created our own television network, only better, because we communicated with no filter to what would amount to about 20 percent of the total number of votes we would need to win.
"And those supporters would share our positive message or response to an attack, whether through orchestrated campaign activity like door-knocking or phone calling or just in conversations they had each day with friends, family, and colleagues." (p. 364 of Plouffe's The Audacity to Win)
Why did McCain lose? Let me count the ways . . . starting with the vast difference between his e-mail list and Obama's. When Obama had thousands of Bloggers backing him, McCain (literally) had dozens.
If you as a candidate do everything right, including a heavy reliance on digital technology, you will win your election . . . even when your opponent has more money. If you read only one book between now and Election Day, it probably should be Plouffe's.
If you don't have time to read that book, read this analysis of it:

Scott Brown: Taking Back America
A big salute to all those Patriots -- people like you -- who've embraced the Scott Brown Campaign for US Senate . . . and asked your friends and family members to do the same. Scott Brown's "people" (i.e., individuals just like us) have been overwhelmed by the support they're getting from the online community.
As you know, the election is on Jan. 19, 2010. So, it's an off-year (and even an off-month) election. And in the middle of January, it being MA, there will probably be a monumental snowstorm.
All such factors work in Scott's favor, because he'll get the votes of every sane Bay Stater repulsed by the three-headed monster: Obama, Pelosi, and Reid.
How do we win this race that once looked unwinnable? By contributing our money -- even $10 or $20 would help -- and our time. Scott has a great system at his web site for individuals to call-into MA from out-of-state. www.brownforusscenate.com .
Support Scott -- and then ask everyone you know to do the same.
[Note: Please tell your friends and associates that this web site is up-and-running again, with 6-7 columns per week. Thanks.]
Scott is a conservative. In fact, he will be the most conservative Senator elected from MA since . . . Senator John F. Kennedy, who nowadays would be denounced by liberals as "a dangerous right-winger." JFK loved our country, and he knew that in a recession you don't raise taxes -- instead, you cut them. And as a man with chronic ailments, JFK had no desire to turn our health system into one resembling Bulgaria's.
Scott Brown is committed to voting to repeal the health care monstrosity Reid and Pelosi are busy hatching. He's against the Cap-and-Tax legislation. He's in favor of reducing our taxes. And, unlike Obama, he's not afraid to use the phrase "war on terror."
You may ask . . .
What about Scott's opponent, one Martha Coakley? She's another one of those Massachusetts liberals (think: John Kerry) whose ambitions are as unlimited as her talents are nonexistent. As a member of the Massachusetts legal community, she specialized in ferocious prosecutions of people who were clearly innocent. In many ways, she's a lot like her hero, Barack Hussein Obama, who's described accurately in a Jan. 2 article by Geoffrey P. Hunt (following):
American Thinker: Another Failed Presidency

As a member of the Massachusetts legal community, she specialized in ferocious prosecutions of people who were clearly innocent. In many ways, she's a lot like her hero, Barack Hussein Obama, who's described accurately in a Jan. 2 article by Geoffrey P. Hunt (following):
American Thinker: Another Failed Presidency
http://www.americanthinker.com/2009/08/another_failed_presidency.html
". . . This president. It's not so much that he's a phony, knows nothing about economics, is historically illiterate, and woefully small minded for the size of the task-- all contributory of course. It's that he's not one of us. And whatever he is, his profile is fuzzy and devoid of content, like a cardboard cutout made from delaminated corrugated paper. Moreover, he doesn't command our respect and is unable to appeal to our own common sense. His notions of right and wrong are repugnant and how things work just don't add up. They are not existential. His descriptions of the world we live in don't make sense and don't correspond with our experience.
"In the meantime, while we've been struggling to take a measurement of this man, he's dissed just about every one of us--financiers, energy producers, banks, insurance executives, police officers, doctors, nurses, hospital administrators, post office workers, and anybody else who has a non-green job. Expect Obama to lament at his last press conference in 2012: 'For those of you I offended, I apologize. For those of you who were not offended, you just didn't give me enough time; if only I'd had a second term, I could have offended you too.'"
The beginning of the end for the absurd Obama "presidency" began with our victories in VA and NJ. If we can win in Massachusetts, as I believe we can, we can win everywhere. Please ask everyone you know to rally behind Scott.
God bless you all.

Scott Brown Surging in Massachusetts
A big salute to all those Patriots -- people like you -- who've embraced the Scott Brown Campaign for US Senate . . . and asked your friends and family members to do the same. Scott Brown's "people" (i.e., individuals just like us) have been overwhelmed by the support they're getting from the online community.
As you know, the election is on Jan. 19, 2010. So, it's an off-year (and even an off-month) election. And in the middle of January, it being MA, there will probably be a monumental snowstorm. All such factors work in Scott's favor, because he'll get the votes of every sane Bay Stater repulsed by the three-headed monster: Obama, Pelosi, and Reid.
How do we win this race that once looked unwinnable? By contributing our money -- even $10 or $20 would help -- and our time. Scott has a great system at his web site for individuals to call-into MA from out-of-state.

Support Scott -- and then ask everyone you know to do the same.
Scott is a conservative. In fact, he will be the most conservative Senator elected from MA since . . . Senator John F. Kennedy, who nowadays would be denounced by liberals as "a dangerous right-winger." JFK loved our country, and he knew that in a recession you don't raise taxes -- instead, you cut them. And as a man with chronic ailments, JFK had no desire to our health system into one resembling Bulgaria's.
Scott Brown is committed to voting to repeal the health care monstrosity Reid and Pelosi are busy hatching. He's against the Cap-and-Tax legislation. He's in favor of reducing our taxes. And, unlike Obama, he's not afraid to use the phrase "war on terror."

Update: Scott Brown's candidacy for the U.S. Senate in Massachusetts is getting a tremendous response from the online community (i.e., people like you). They're raising a significant amount of money -- and adding many volunteers. Please go to Scott's web site to see how you can help him in this critical race. (The special election will be on Jan. 19.)
I recommend that all challengers gather their long "lists" of volunteers and financial supporters . . . and that they hold as many "Town Halls" as possible, whether they have ten participants or a thousand. They need to talk soon to every person who has regular contacts with others . . . including barbers, hair dressers, insurance salespeople, cops, principals, ministers, and others. They also need to do something most people hate: ask everybody for money, including very small donations. They should rely more on radio than on TV -- drive-time and talk radio. Radio is inexpensive, TV isn't.
A candidate to keep an eye on: Les Phillip in Alabama's 5th congressional district (Huntsville area). Les is a Black conservative running against Parker Griffith, who recently switched to the Republican caucus. He could use your help.

Scott Brown for US Senate
Dear Conservative Activist Friends: As most of you know, I've been highlight the campaign of Scott Brown, a Republican who's running for the US Senate ("the Teddy Kennedy Seat") in Massachusetts.
If Brown receives support -- financial, organizational, and moral -- from thousands of activists around the country, he will win the special election to be held on Jan. 19 (less than three weeks from now).
Are my activities -- and yours -- really making a difference for Scott Brown? Two days ago I received the following message from a member of his campaign staff:
"I am the policy advisor on the Scott Brown campaign. I have been getting your emails since Sarah was announced as the VP. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact me. Also how many people do generally send this email out to? We have seen an enormous surge of interest in our website.
"Thank you and happy new year." -- R.K.
When the Brown Campaign adviser sent that e-mail, she made my day -- and I hope she's doing the same for all of you who recognize the importance of making Scott the 41st Republican vote in the Senate.
Yes, it is Massachusetts, and voters in that state tend to pull the Democrat lever much the same way Pavlov's dog salivated when the bell rang. And Scott Brown is an underdog.
However, if Scott wins, it would mark the beginning of the end for not only the reign of "Nancy and Harry," but also the Obama presidency.
He's much less an underdog today than he was a few weeks ago.
Scott is in favor of limited government and low taxes, the very policies that are essential if we're ever to restore our country to economic health.
Scott's opponent is Martha Coakley, a former prosecutor. Those of you who want to Google her will find out her specialty was ferociously prosecuting people for crimes they hadn't committed. Her efforts even have a title: "The Second Salem Witch Trials."
Thus, Coakley is against "witches"; she is in favor apparently of all the big government policies promoted by Obama and Reid.
In a sane world, Scott Brown would win in a landslide. As you and I know, however, a one-vote victory in politics is just as good as a landslide.
If you visit Scott's web site -- www.brownforussenate.com -- you can find many ways to help him win on Jan. 19. They have a major effort that will enable people to call in from out-of-state.
My own emphasis in 2010 will be to spend 2,000 hours (I'm semi-retired) trying to elect outstanding candidates. On my blog -- www.stevemaloneygop.blogspot.com -- I'll be writing every day about important races . . . and practical steps we can take to win back the House of Representatives. It may take until 2012 to win back the Senate, but we're due for some big victories.
I'm hoping all of you will share campaign ideas that work. Of course, one approach that always works is to ask friends, family, and associates to join us in voting for great candidates.
Note: Please share this post with all your contacts . . . and encourage them to help Scott win.

Scott Brown: Massachusetts' January Surprise
Dear Friends: There's a "January Surprise" brewing in Massachusetts.
If John F. Kennedy were still alive, he would be a Republican. Remember his Inaugural Address where he said, "Let every nation know, whether friend or foe, that we shall bear any burden, pay any price, to ensure the survival of liberty." Can you imagine any contemporary Democrat, including Barack Obama, making a similar statement? JFK never apologized for America.
Also, confronting a serious economic slowdown, Kennedy cut taxes sharply, in order to spur economic growth and job creation. In contrast, Obama, Pelosi, and Reid are raising taxes dramatically.
The Kennedyesque candidate in the special election for a US Senate seat in Massachusetts on Jan. 19 is . . . Republican Scott Brown. If Brown wins -- when he wins -- he will be the critical 41st vote in the Senate. As such, he'd cripple the left-wing's effort to impose on us their socialist agenda.
http://www.brownforussenate.com
You may not live in Massachusetts, but you can play an important role in his electoral success. Make no mistake, the special election is one progressing under the radar. If patriots around America step up to support Scott Brown, he will become the first Republican in 40 years to win a Massachusetts Senate seat.
What can you do?
First, visit Scott's web site and sign up for e-mail updates;
Second, make a donation, either small or large;
Third, ask anyone you know in MA to support Scott;
Fourth, volunteer for the nationwide call-ins to MA (see below in
blue type)
This election will be a lot closer than the clueless MSM believes. Voters in Massachusetts, like voters in your state, are fed-up with Washington, DC's wild overspending of your money. Lifelong Democrats are reconsidering their commitment to a Party which has contempt for their values -- American values.
If you want to join the call-in effort, you can do so either be going to Scott's web site or by writing to Brad, who sent me the following:
Mr. Maloney,
We do have a mechanism [for call-ins] If you would have people contact me at brad@brownforussenate.com I can set them up with an online username and password to call from the comfort of their own homes on behalf of Scott Brown.
In the mid-1770s, Massachusetts basically launched the first American Revolution. Our forebears sacrificed everything for the causes of independence and liberty.
Now, it falls to use to rescue our beloved country from the cynics and socialists in Washington, DC. The Second American Revolution has begun.
It's up to us. Let's amaze the world be electing Scott Brown.
