(Metaphorically, natch.)
The fight for genuine health care reform will continue through the summer but we need to start now if we're going to have any hope of facing down the enemies of real change.
We need to fight hard. Just getting a 10-point plan out there and expecting the public to connect the dots, or playing on people's heartstrings about uninsured families (as tragic as that is) just isn't going to cut it. The public is mad and they aren't getting the change that they voted for 6 months ago. Whoever co-opts that anger will win the health care debate. Right now, the forces opposed to the public option are trying to channel that anger using the same old 90s "big government" rants. It isn't working like it used to, but if the that message is the only message that resonates with people's anger at the current system they will win by default.
We can't let that happen.
