Will their campaign coffers of 'blood money' save them from defeat?
If so-called Democratic Senators sell out the American people on 'the Public Option' will their millions of dollars in campaign contributions save them from being defeated in their next re-election bid?
What is sickening about the 'centerist' Dems is that they are willing to discuss having more thousands of Americans suffer and die for blood money.
Oh, and... just like scumbag 'Dem' repesentative Tauzin (who sold out America with the odiously expensive Medicare Drug Benefit (for pharma companies) while negotiating a FAT employment agreement with a pharma lobbying group, these folks have no conscience -- they are ACTIVELY considering selling us out again.

Tell Senator [Name] that you DO NOT want the 7-year trigger for the public option and take it off the table, and that you want him to support an affordable strong, robust Medicare-like public option. We NEED a strong, robust Medicare-like public option NOW OPEN TO ALL AMERICANS AND AFFORDABLE, not more of the SAME broken system that's given us unaffordable premiums, little private insurance coverage, and rising co-pays. Also, DON'T TAX OUR EMPLOYER HEALTH BENEFITS. Instead, follow the proposal by President Obama to tax the wealthy above $250,000, eliminate the overpayments in Medicare Advantage, and put tax capital gains to help fund health care reform. TELL YOUR SENATOR NO ON THE SCHUMER COMPROMISE.
