Hello Friend
I wanted to share a quick update on Senator McCain's latest efforts yesterday to stop President Obama's planned government take over of our health care system.
As you may know, Republican leaders selected Senator McCain as one of the leaders at the White House Health Care Summit yesterday to present our conservative views directly to President Obama and the Democrats, face-to-face.
Senator McCain's message yesterday was clear: Scrap the Democrats' plan for a government takeover of your health care and start over.
Senator McCain stood up against the President's government-run plan that Americans just can't afford. He clearly described how for all of President Obama's promises of change, his 2,400-page bill is riddled with sweetheart deals for a favored few like the atrocious "Cornhusker Kickback" and "Louisiana Purchase."
And Senator McCain made clear that jamming health care through using parliamentary games such as reconciliation is not acceptable and that he will fight any such efforts. The American people "want us to go back to the beginning," said Senator McCain, "remove all the special deals for the special interests and favored few and treat all Americans the same."
Watch Senator McCain yesterday at the White House. Senator McCain's strong case for scrapping the bill and starting over won praise from leading commentators covering yesterday's Summit:
"In the lecture from Senator John McCain and on the issue of transparency, I thought yesterday the Democrats were pretty much on their knees." -- A.B. Stoddard, Fox News
"That terrific exchange with John McCain in which John McCain said Americans oppose the process, that was the Republican point." -- Juan Williams, Fox News
Senator McCain knows that our fight against the government takeover of your health care is far from over and we must continue fighting. This legislation can't be fixed -- it must be defeated -- and start over. We need Senator McCain in there standing up for Arizonans every inch of the way just like he did yesterday. Thank you for your continued support.
See you on the campaign trail,

P.S.: In an radio interview this morning, Arizona Congressman John Shadegg (District 3) called out J.D. Hayworth for being a big spender during his time in Congress. Rep. Shadegg said that Hayworth was a big fan of "earmark" pork barrel spending, and that when Shadegg and other conservatives tried to take on the big spenders, "J.D. was on the other side of those fights." So much for the "Consistent Conservative." Listen to Rep. Shadegg’s radio interview here.
