[Peace-discuss] Fw: The fate of the public option

[Jenifer Cartwright]

It wouldn't take 30 years, it'd take 30 days for some, and 30 months for most! Insane that there's any debate about the merits -- it's a no-brainer. Just shows the power the ins companies have over our law-makers.  --Jenifer

Unbelievable that this is still necessary, but it is. Please forward widely.

The pity of it is that, if Congress were to pass a decent health care reform bill, thirty years from now Americans would be wondering how we ever lived without it.

Jenifer - 

On Friday, Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin announced that the Senate will support and pass whatever the House includes in a reconciliation bill -- even if it includes the choice of a public health insurance option. 


This gives Speaker Nancy Pelosi a historic opportunity to take the reins back on behalf of the House of Representatives and the majority of Americans who want a public option. 

It's up to us to make sure Speaker Pelosi doesn't kill the public option because she's afraid to act. She needs to know that we'll be there to have her back. We'll whip Congress to pass the bill and help every step of the way to get the majority votes we'll need to win. 


Sign the petition right now and we'll deliver each signature to her office at the end of the day on Monday. And then again on Tuesday. And again on Wednesday. We'll deliver the new signatures every day until she gets the job done. 


The fate of the public option is in Speaker Nancy Pelosi's hands. It's up to us to make sure she doesn't kill the most popular piece of reform. 


Thank you for everything you do, 

-Charles
