The DC American Legislative Exchange Council meeting begins today as legislators and those working on the BBA Task Force begin arriving. Hopefully, the lawmakers will be receptive to our message. The Task Force is making a “presentation” of sorts this evening at 5:00. There is a lot of enthusiasm, and momentum, from our recent success in Ohio. Gov. Kasich is totally on board, and is writing personal letters to other Governors urging them to push this. Typhoon Lou Marin and Lauren Enns of Iamamerican made a pitch last night to the most organized of the national Tea Party groups. Getting them on board would provide a large influx of ground troops as the effort proceeds from state to state.
Lew Uhler has arranged a meeting today from 2:00 to 4:00 with some leaders of conservative organizations. At least I think that’s what it is. We’ll find out. Tomorrow at 10:30 the members of the Task Force will go to Grover Norquist’s weekly get together of conservative activist types in DC. I gather our effort is the scheduled topic of discussion for this week’s meet. I believe I am expected to summarize the state of play.
This whole exercise is based on the belief that Obamacare is such a political catastrophe for the Democrats that the people of this country are ready for structural change. Every morning’s news, including today’s, is confirmation.
