Yesterday I sent you the email below about Pelosi's government-run health care bill and the fact that she and the liberals are rushing it to the floor for a vote tomorrow - Saturday.
Now, we have learned more about this bill covering illegal immigrants.
Courtesy of the conservative House Republican Study Committee we know that it will expand a policy of not requiring documentation to prove citizenship to be covered under Medicaid and SCHIP .
Her bill will "require" a social security number to get government benefits; HOWEVER, it will not require that someone actually show legal identification to prove it is their social security number, further enabling illegal immigrants to use false numbers to get taxpayer-funded health care.
It goes on to allow those with any legal family member to get affordability credits, even if they are illegal themselves and it does not explicitly prohibit illegal aliens from participating in government health exchanges.
In addition, the Hill newspaper reports that liberals are pushing Pelosi even further to ensure that illegal immigrants will get coverage - prior to the vote.
We need to fight back even harder today. If you have not signed our petition below - and then used the thank you screen to call your lawmakers in the House - we need you to do so TODAY.

---- ORIGINAL EMAIL -----
Dear Kathy ,
Do not take Tuesday's election results as a triumph - it is just a start. There is so much more work to be done - including work TODAY.
You see the liberals are moving right ahead with their agenda. I am sure you have seen it on the news. The ultra liberals who want to grow the government's involvement in your life, increase taxes and increase bureaucracy are marching on.
In fact - as I am sure you have now heard - Nancy Pelosi is planning a vote on Saturday night; that's right - Saturday to push through government run health care.
We wanted to see what she was up to before we acted.
NOW IT IS TIME TO ACT.

We suspect that Nancy Pelosi is scheduling a Saturday night vote so that she can stifle your voice, have the phones turned off in some Member's offices and catch us off guard.
So, when you sign the petition, we are once again going to send you to ACU's Action Center so you can also call Members of the House.
Saturday votes are very rare. There will be fewer constituents and concerned citizens there to fight. Pelosi and her liberal allies will be able to arm-twist with less distractions.

Larry Hart, ACU's Director of Government Relations, and our entire ACU team have been working hard to fight this government-run health care scheme.
Larry reports today that with the new Democrat amendments to their bill, the number of new bureaucracies that will be created by Pelosi's government-run health care bill now stands at: 118
More and more government red tape between you and your doctor. More and more taxes to pay for this liberal scheme.
We all know what it will mean for the nation.

Saturday is a big day for liberals who for years have wanted socialized health care. You see, it puts them in less than arms reach to their ultimate goal of all-out socialized health care.
Estimates from conservative leaders on Capitol Hill are that it will only take a few years before Pelosi's health care scheme will ultimately lead to single-payer health care.
Current estimates are that Pelosi's bill will cost taxpayers more than $1.1 trillion dollars. And, remember this is just a government estimate.
We all know who will eventually pay with higher taxes and less quality care: you and me.

You might be shocked to learn that liberal Members of Congress are not even requiring Congress to enroll themselves in the government run care.
Section 330 permits-but does not require-Members of Congress to enroll in government-run health care. Conservatives were planning to offer an amendment to force Congress to go into the same health care plan created by Pelosi's bill.
However, Pelosi and her liberal allies have cut off any ability for any conservative to offer amendments. They are just going to try and slam their bill through.

Pelosi and her liberal allies in the House are waiting for you to get tired and to give up on this effort.
Now, more than ever, we must make our voice heard.
Today, some of you as ACU activists, joined others in attending a rally on Capitol Hill. Today is the day that we must make our voices hear.
We need you to sign the petition here - and then go on to call your Member of Congress.
Please forward this email to your family and friends who care about the future of our Country.
Let's stand up and make our voice heard.
