Hugh Hewitt reports on the Ten for Tark campaign,<\/a> that may get Senator Reid’s attention that he is in great political peril if he allows Obamacare to pass through the Senate.<\/p>\n

the campaign [is] to send a message [to] the Senate Majority Leader that Obamacare has got to be shelved. I hope some of my colleagues on the radio dial pick up on the effort to send a very loud message to Senator Reid. Nothing gets an incumbent’s attention like a check to his opponent, and thousands and thousands of checks to Tark should hopefully see Senator Reid talking with his colleagues about the political peril that Obamacare creates for all of them, even those who can look forward to excellent funding support from unions and teachers.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Go to the link above. It has a link where you can donate $10 to Danny Tarkanian (thus, Ten for Tark), who is the challenger to Harry Reid in the 2010 election.<\/p>\n

Anyone can afford this.\u00a0 And the message to Reid is simple:\u00a0 there’s lots more where this came from, and if you let this Obamacare mess pass through the Senate (and he DOES have the power to stop it), then you can expect to lose your seat in the Senate.\u00a0 Period.<\/p>\n

BTW:\u00a0 this is not unrealistic.\u00a0 Polls are showing that Reid is already trailing in the 2010 election, by quite a lot for an incumbent with a relatively unknown challenger.\u00a0 So this is a time when the judicious application of pressure may actually produce a result.\u00a0 Reid is vulnerable, and he knows he is, and that may be enough to get him to see reason in the matter, however he chooses to present it to the press and his Democrat friends.\u00a0 This wouldn’t work against a politician in a secure seat, but this time, Reid is vulnerable, just like Daschle and Foley when they were in leadership roles in Congress.<\/p>\n

After you make your $10 donation on Tarkanian’s site<\/a>, send the receipt, along with a polite note, to Senator Reid, explaining your position briefly and clearly.\u00a0 Be nice.\u00a0 But be clear that you plan to give more to Tarkanian if Reid doesn’t kill the Obamacare legislation.<\/p>\n

Time to stand up.<\/p>\n

UPDATE:\u00a0 It looks like Danny Tarkanian’s campaign has spent some of the money they got in the Ten for Tark promotion.\u00a0 Here’s the video:<\/p>\n
