It's obvious with the the apparent Max Baucus kowtow to the insurance industry that they've gotten their fingers into the Health Care sausage and are looking to foul our reform with their feces.
And by all accounts the vote will be put off until after the August recess.
He and the Blue Dogs need more flogging by the public. A recess gives the insurance lobby time? Sure. It gives us time too.
IF YOU ARE NOT CALLING YOUR REPRESENTATIVES AND THE DEM LEADERSHIP DAILY, YOU ARE KILLING HEALTH CARE REFORM
Email isn't good enough, any asshole can write an email. So let's do this again:
IF YOU ARE NOT CALLING YOUR REPRESENTATIVES AND THE DEM LEADERSHIP DAILY, YOU ARE KILLING HEALTH CARE REFORM
This is time to hold the Dems accountable for the offices WE gave them. This is time to hold, not just the Blue Dogs, but the progressives to account. I see the Blue Dogs and the GOP pushing their weight around, where are the progressives? Where is Obama with his fiery stump speeches?
The American people want this, and it's time for us as progressives, elected or not, to start fighting back. The conservatives, are dominating the debate in DC and the airwaves.
I'd publish a bunch of action links, but they've been top of the rec list for a while. Those links should be dark orange, you should have clicked through already. You should have phoned, signed, emailed, donated at those links already. If you haven't you're as much of the problem as Max Baucus.
Finally, any whiney, defeatist comments to this diary will be mocked. STFU and do something.
IF YOU ARE NOT CALLING YOUR REPRESENTATIVES AND THE DEM LEADERSHIP DAILY, YOU ARE KILLING HEALTH CARE REFORM
Conversely if you have an action item, please add in the comments
