[Jenifer Cartwright]

Yet another chance to call and bawl (meaning bawl them out, and of course bawl yr eyes out if/when it doesn't work. Still, worth a try. What else have we got??)

Hi Jenifer,
Following President Obama's speech this week, little has changed in the fight for a public health insurance option. 

The insurance industry is still in the midst of a full-court press to sabotage health care reform.  Those greedy insurance CEOs are calling in every favor with corrupt members of Congress to kill the public option.

I went to Congress this week and delivered petitions signed by you and 63,692 other people calling on Congress to not back down on a public option.  Now, I need you to call your member of Congress and reiterate that demand: we need a true public option without co-ops or "triggers."

Call your Representative at (202) 224-3121 and ask them to take the pledge for a strong public option.  When you're done, click here to report your call and watch the video of your petitions being delivered to Congress this week.



It's still up to us to hold the line with enough votes in the House to make sure the only thing that can pass is a strong public option.

To make sure that a public option passes, we need at least 40 members of the House of Representatives to pledge to only vote for a bill with a strong public option in both the House bill and in the bill that comes out of Conference with the Senate.

So far, we have 17 firmly committed to doing so.  We have just 23 more to go.  The way to get there is by making sure these Representatives know where their constituents stand on a strong public option.  

We need you to call your Representatives and say that you only support a public option without co-ops or triggers, and you need them to do the same.

Call your Representative at (202) 224-3121 and ask them to take the pledge for a strong public option.  When you're done, click here to report your call.

Thanks so much for calling.

Best,
