Bean, Foster not on hit list

FreedomWorks, one of the main organization's behind tea parties and the backlash against President Barack Obama's health care reform push, just sent out an urgent e-mail to its very active members to call 21 House Democrats it considers "swing votes."
Suburban residents may be surprised to not find U.S. Rep. Bill Foster of Batavia or U.S. Rep. Melissa Bean of Barrington on the list.
Both have said they are open to voting for a reform package that includes a public insurance option, depending on the details. Both have also been protested against vigorously in the last two months from both sides of the debate.
As of now, Bean and Foster are still not saying how they will vote on the legislation put forward by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. A vote is expected Saturday. Pelosi says she has the votes to pass the legislation.
FreedomWorks, run by former House Majority Dick Armey - who helped kill President Bill Clinton's health care reform plan, did list one Illinois Democrat as a possible swing vote: U.S. Rep. Debbie Halvorson, whose district covers the Will County area. Halvorson has already come out in favor of a public option.
