OK, short diary. My apologies.
Poliltical Wire
Said Caucus Chairman John Larson (D-CT): "We think we have the votes now. We have the votes to pass a robust public option."
Time for the happy dance! The votes are there!
More below the fold.
This has been a long struggle.
How many times has the PO been written off for dead?
How many times have we despaired?
The virtue of persevering, of not giving up, of having at least a minimal level of trust in Obama and Pelosi and Rahm and, yes, in Harry Reid, is about to reap some dividends.
And thanks to nyceve and slinkerwink and everyone else who has beaten the drum.
Let me add my own little pat-pat-pat:
Call / email your Senators. Call / email your Representative. Do it today.
Update:
You can call Congress toll free at: 800-828-0498. H/T to the aptly named MD patriot.
And let me add my thanks to every Kossack who has contacted a Senator and / or Representative. Yes, we can. Yes, we will.
And perhaps, yes, we did. At least in the House.
Update 2: Obligatory rec list thanks.
