This is a very short action diary. If you are so inclined, please thank the Senators that are standing firm against any more compromises to the public option, that is, no trigger and no opt-out.
It must be hard for them, as the Blue Cross Dogs have more members, they are used to getting their way (to the detriment of our country and contrary to the national will), and they seem to have the White House behind them.
Below is my short letter and their web addresses. Luckily, all of them take out of state e-mail.
This letter is to Senator Sanders. If you use it, you need to change the Senators names accordingly.
There is a lot of talk coming out of Washington that a trigger is the way to go. Let's pop this trial balloon!
Senator Burris
Senator Brown
Senator Sanders
Thank you so very much for standing firm with Senators Brown and Burris against a trigger or an opt-in clause for the public option. We have already compromised so very much from single payer, and those few Senators should not be able to change the will of the people.
Why are these Senators so fervently for the VA system if they have such "principles" against the public option? Are they saying that the rest of us don't deserve the care that the VA provides?
At any rate, you and Senators Brown and Burris are heros to many out here that won't write, for one reason or another. I hope you get more Senators to stand with you.
It's time for progressives to stand tall against the Blue Cross Dogs. They always win, and this country is poorer for it.
Thank you!
