Healthcare Public Enemies 1, 2, and 3 -- Contact Senators NOW!
Hot off the wire from Robert Reich at TPM -- Moderates, led by Olympia Snowe, Ron Wyden (Democrat from Oregon) and Thomas Carper, Democrat from Delaware) working to destroy Healthcare's Public Option -- CALL NOW -- Flood their voice mails and fax machines this weekend. Don't let them get away with this -- we must put them on notice NOW, and make every Senator/House wimp whose thinking about taking away our Public Option more afraid of US than the Insurance Companies. Tell these Senators that we will turn 'The Kiss" float from Bush to Insurance Lobbyists.

“Last night Snowe hosted a private meeting between members and staffers about a new proposal Pharma and Insurance are floating, and apparently she's already gained the tentative support of several Democrats (including Ron Wyden and Thomas Carper). Under Snowe's proposal, the public option would kick in years from now, but it would be triggered only if insurance companies fail to bring down healthcare costs and expand coverage in he meantime.”

1. By far these are not the only ones. Call anybody who has not cosponsored the Brown Bill
calling for a public option.
