I live in Morris county which is not in the District of Congressman Adler but I never-the-less called his Toms River office to tell him to vote against the Obamacare bill.
Of course when asked my address, I told them I lived in Morris county and his lackey said to me that my voice did not count because I lived outside of Adler's district. My reply to him was that politics are no longer local. I will contribute to his opponent (who ever it is) if he votes yes on the Health Care Bill. I ask of you. If you live in his District, and oppose Obamacare and the take over of 1/6 of out economy by what is obviously a Socialist minded Administration, Please call him and tell him to VOTE NO ON OBAMACARE! |

N.J. Rep. John Adler: I'll vote 'no' on health-care bill
By RAJU CHEBIUM • GANNETT WASHINGTON BUREAU • March 15, 2010 Twitter FarkIt Type Size A A A WASHINGTON — Rep. John Adler, D-N.J., who represents a conservative-leaning district covering parts of Ocean and Burlington counties, said Monday he will vote against a health care reform bill that the House is scheduled to consider as early as this week. Adler would likely be the only Garden State Democrat and one of a small group of Democratic House members to vote against the Senate-passed health care bill. Later this week, the House is scheduled to take up the bill the Senate passed on Christmas Eve. In a legislative move meant to get around Republican efforts to block the bill, the House and Senate would then both vote on a smaller bill making some changes to the Senate bill. Adler, the only New Jersey Democrat to vote against the House's health care bill in November, said the Senate measure also doesn't accomplish his top priority — curbing the rising cost of health insurance facing small businesses. "I would vote against the Senate bill," he said while meeting with the editors of the Courier-Post in Cherry Hill, N.J. "The Senate bill has different fundamental flaws and some of the same fundamental flaws that the House bill had." He left open the possibility of supporting the bill that would make fixes to the Senate bill if it includes more cost-containment measures. Adler, a freshman Democrat, represents a district that had been in GOP hands for generations, most recently by retired longtime congressman Jim Saxton, and analysts expect him to have the state's toughest re-election fight in November. Former Philadelphia Eagles football player Jon Runyan is seeking the GOP nomination to challenge Adler. Adler, who said a majority of his constituents are "skeptical" or even "hostile" to the Senate plan, said politics isn't behind his opposition. "I talk to Democrats in my district on a regular basis, and they seem to be against this bill," said Adler, adding that he hasn't polled his constituents to determine the extent of support or opposition. "They think it's not going to meet their needs short-term or in the long term." Supporters of the Senate plan, including Adler's South Jersey colleague Rep. Rob Andrews, say the bill would cover 31 million additional Americans, bar insurers from denying coverage based on pre-existing medical conditions and reward small businesses who cover their employees. Karen Mills, administrator of the U.S. Small Business Administration, rejected claims that small businesses would suffer financially under Democratic proposals. Mills said only about 10,000 of the nation's 6 million small businesses would see their taxes go up under the Senate bill and 4 million businesses could get tax credits starting this year to cover employees. The proposal would lower the health care bill for small businesses by allowing them to buy cheaper private policies in health insurance "exchanges," Mills said. "Health care is the No. 1 concern of small businesses," she said in a telephone interview Friday. "Small businesses can't get access to affordable policies. The status quo is just untenable." |
