Michelle Oddis, “Blue Dog Predictions,” Human Events (September 9, 2009)

Jill Zeman Bleed, “Ark. crowd mocks lawmakers over Obama health plan,” Associated Press (August 5, 2009).

• U.S. Rep. Mike Ross (D-AR) – a so-called “Blue Dog” – promised a crowd in Little Rock, that he will not support  a single payer system.
• According to the article, Ross states, “I’ve said this several times but let me see if I can make it a little more clear.  I don’t represent Speaker (Nancy) Pelosi or President Obama or (House Finance Committee Chairman) Barney Frank. I represent the people of Arkansas and I’m not voting for any bill that forces any one plan on anyone, period.”
• Let’s contact Ross and encourage him to stand by this statement.
