Dear Kossacks, Lurkers and Readers of Daily Kos:
We need a massive show of force.
Massive. Are you ready? Are you willing? Will you do what needs to be done to show these bastards politicians we are deadly serious?
We mean business. Enough is enough. The American people are sick and tired of devious, money-driven corrupt politicians driving deadly policy. Triggers and co-ops are deadly public policy. They know it, and we must stop this charade dead in its tracks.
CALL BABY CALL.TODAY.
PLEASE CALL CONGRESS AND REPORT BACK WHAT YOU SAID AND THE RESPONSE OF THE CONGRESSIONAL STAFF PERSON YOU SPOKE TO.
Will progressives in Congress stand up to the insurance industry?
Help whip the vote count for the public option.
Call Congress at (202) 224-3121.
CONTACT INFORMATION FOR ALL MEMBERS OF PROGRESSIVE CAUCUS HERE
We're coming down the home stretch for the public option. Progressives in the House of Representatives start counting votes for the public option today.
Liberal leaders in Congress - like Progressive Caucus Chair Rep. Raul
Grijalva - are trying to gauge where your representative stands on fighting for the public health insurance option in health care reform.
We need at least 40 members of the House to pledge to vote for only a strong public option. By our count, we can rely on at least 17 members to *say "No" to triggers, co-ops, and other fake public options.
You can help us find the remaining 23 members of Congress by calling your
representative now. Can you help us whip the vote for a strong public
option?
Call the House switchboard now at (202) 224-3121 and ask to be connected to your representative in the House.
CLICKING HERE WILL LET US KNOW YOU'VE CALLED. THANKS.
It comes down to this: will progressives stand up against a health care bill written by insurance industry lobbyists? Or will they follow the lead of Rep. Grijalva, who slammed the insurance industry bill as "not legitimate," and fight for what the President says we need to keep costs down?
Here's what we need you to say when you reach your representative's office:
1. State your name, city, and state, and that you're calling because you
strongly support only a true public option in health care reform.
2. Say that you expect your Representative to support nothing less than strong public option - that means no co-ops, no triggers.
3. Ask if you can count on your Representative to only vote for a strong public option and vote against any bill that doesn't have a strong public option. Again, that means no co-ops, no triggers.
Can you call your member of Congress now? Dial (202) 224-3121 and ask to be connected to your representative in the House.
AND ONCE MORE, PLEASE CLICK HERE TO LET US KNOW YOU CALLED.
Thanks for your help in whipping the House to pass the public option.
And read slinkerwink's diary with a brilliant new action campaign.
