A Mighty Big Push Poll
The conservative Family Research Council announced it will call every household in Louisiana to urge opposition to "the healthcare takeover" in Washington.
The goal is to flood undecided Democratic Sen. Mary Landrieu, D-La. with calls and emails.
"Senator Mary Landrieu continues to waver between the arm twisting party bosses in Washington and her constituents who overwhelmingly oppose this government takeover of health care," said FRC President Tony Perkins in a statement. "The preliminary early results of our phone call campaign indicate that Senator Landrieu should take seriously the intense opposition that her constituents have to abortion funding, rationing, and higher taxes within the Senate health care bill."
Given the loaded survey questions, it's no surprise that respondents are showing negative inclinations about healthcare reform. Here's an example from the phone campaign:
"National health care changes being pushed by President Obama, Senator Reid, and Speaker [Pelosi] would institute rationing of medical care by an unelected board that can reject surgeries, drugs, or therapies which you or your loved ones may need. There are also great concerns about euthanasia. Do such documented facts make you want to stop changes to our health care system?"
