Many activists are wondering how to fight the final battle against Obamacare 2.0. Now that the president has made it clear he wants to jam a bad bill down our throats through "reconciliation" we must renew our efforts to stop this from happening.

After a morning conference call with activists from around the country, I wanted to share a few of their ideas with you. Most of these activities should be organized immediately, but their should be a major focus on the townhall idea during the congressional Easter Recess, which begins March 27th.

UPDATE: Fox News ran with a story about our strategy for Obamacare 2.0!

1. FreedomWorks has put together an online petition against the use of "reconciliation." You can sign it here: http://nohealthcarereconciliation.com We will personally deliver copies of the petition to Capitol Hill in the weeks ahead, and will post the pictures and videos on this blog. Please sign the petition and forward the link to your friends.

2. District office visits. We need to spend a LOT of time inside and outside district offices this month. To find out where your congressman has an office, please visit http://house.gov Be sure to try and schedule teams of two or three to go to the district office and meet with congressional staff. Every person going inside the office should deliver hand-written letters from their friends, family and neighbors about Obamacare 2.0 and the use of reconciliation. This will make a powerful statement about where the American people stand.

3. District office protests. Most of you know exactly how to do these! Keep up the pressure on your congressman by protesting outside the district offices. This could be done at the same time as the district office visits, or at different times. Have everyone protesting pick up their cell phones and call the DC office of your congressman to let him know that you are protesting outside his district office. Invite the local newspapers and tv stations to attend your protest.

4. Townhall meetings. These can be done throughout the month of March, and especially into the Easter Recess starting March 27th. Put together a public forum on healthcare, and focus on reconciliation. Invite your group and the public, and have an open microphone for citizens to speak out. If you congressman is around, invite him or her to attend. If they refuse to do so, just put up an empty chair with a nameplate and microphone. Create a visual that shows that your congressman doesn't want to face the people on this critical issue. If we can re-create the August 2009 townhall brouhaha, we will win this fight once and for all.

5. Protest incumbent re-filings. Watch this great video from the Pulaski Tea Party group in Arkansas. They protested inside the state capitol building in Little Rock as Senator Blanche Lincoln was filling out the paperwork to run for U.S. Senate. Invite the media and make your protest very public. Thanks to Bob Porto and Jebb Young for sharing this idea with the country!

Finally, thank you to Robin S. of Punta Gorda, FL for sharing his target list of vulnerable liberals in the House of Representatives. These folks should face the most grassroots activity from limited government activists. Again, visit http://house.gov to find out where they have offices in their districts.

Jay Cost over at RealClearPolitics has the best, most up to date whip count.
