Yesterday, I asked many of you to participate in the new media project to show our support for a trigger-free public option, and you sent in amazing photos like these:
Can you please send more photos like the one above before midnight tonight? I'm working on creating a web video with these pictures showing the need for a trigger-free public option, and I'll upload it to Youtube. I'll need your help in making it viral, so I'll be posting it on Dailykos when my work with that is done.
Will you please join me in the new media project by following these two simple steps below?
- Take a picture of yourself with a sign explaining why you want a trigger-free public option.
- You can e-mail the picture to me at pleasehelpfreebarneythedog at gmail dot com.
And I'm not just asking you to send in pictures showing your support for a trigger-free public option, I'm asking you to keep on making phone calls to Congress today! Right now, the Congressional Progressive Caucus is whipping their caucus to see if they'll take a line in the sand for the public option. We NEED TO CALL today to show them our support and demand a trigger-free public option with no co-ops!
So, PLEASE CALL these Members of the Congressional Progressive Caucus today to thank them for supporting the public option, and saying that you don't want a trigger on the public option. Here are the talking points for your phone calls to these Members of the Congressional Progressive Caucus today:
Hi [Representative's Name]. I want to thank you for supporting the public option, but I don't want you to support a trigger on the public option! A trigger on the public option would be a surrender to the private insurance companies. Please don't let the insurance lobbyists win by allowing a trigger on the public option. Also, please STAND TOGETHER as a Member of the Congressional Progressive Caucus to fight for the public option in the final conference bill!
The Members of the Congressional Progressive Caucus are taking the whip count to see who'll draw a line in the sand for the public option. It's why we need you to make these phone calls to let them know we have their back. When you call, PLEASE REPORT BACK so we can keep track of your calls to Members of Congress!
Please RECOMMEND this diary to CALL and HOLD our elected officials accountable on the public option as the line in the sand!
Now, let's keep holding our elected officials accountable for the trigger-free public option as a required component of the FINAL bill!
