December 1, 2009 Dear Republican Colleague: As we embark on Senate debate of Majority Leader Reid's massive $2.5 trillion health care reform legislation, it is critical that Republican senators have a solid understanding of the minority's rights in the Senate. I think that we can all agree that the Democrats' bill is the wrong choice for our nation. It will impact one-sixth of our economy, vastly grow the government, and pile tremendous debt on future generations. We are at an important crossroads both for the economy and for the health care system. Therefore, it is imperative that our voices are heard during this debate. We, the minority party, must use the tools we have under Senate rules to insist on a full, complete and fully informed debate on the health care legislation - as well as all legislation - coming before the Senate. As laid out in the attached document, we have certain rights before measures are considered on the floor as well as certain rights during the actual consideration of measures. Every Republican senator should be familiar with the scope of these rights, which serve to protect our ability to speak on behalf of the millions of Americans who depend on us to be their voice during this historic debate. I hope you find the attached information helpful. If you have any questions, please contact my communications office at 202-224-6011. Sincerely, Judd Gregg
