After posts suggesting that local constituents contact Rep. Barney Frank (D-MA) about his comments on the prospects of the Democrats' healthcare bill, the powerful Massachusetts congressman has purportedly told callers his party doesn't have the votes in the House to ensure passage.
"I live in Barney Frank's district, and I called his office this morning," one constituent reportedly emailed Talking Points Memo. "To my surprise, he took my call and I asked him why on earth couldn't the House simply pass the Senate version of the health care bill. He told me straight up that the votes weren't there to pass the Senate bill. He said that labor is totally against it, the abortion caucus is against it, and more than a few progressives were against it."
