Yes We Can! Long Island 2012Senator Feingold of Wisconsin was on CBS’s “Face the Nation” this weekend talking about Afghanistan and health care reform.
Here’s the link to that interview in which he expresses optimism in the passage of health care legislation that includes a public option:
After viewing Senator Feingold’s strong position favoring a real public option, take action. Here’s one way:
The Democratic majorities in the Senate (60/40) and the House (258/177) are large enough to pass a “public option” even with no Republican support. But a handful of conservative “Democrats” are blocking the will of the Democratic majority. These conservative “Democrats” refuse to listen to the Democratic voters who elected them. That means it’s up to our Democratic leaders – Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, and President Obama – to persuade them.
Let’s show them that we will not accept a weak public option or worse, a “trigger.” We want a robust public option that is nation-wide (with no state opt-outs) and available immediately.
That is why we are joining together in a Democratic donor strike against the DNC, DSCC, and DCCC until the Democratic Congress passes – and President Obama signs – healthcare reform with a robust public option. Until then, we will only donate to individual Democrats who will truly fight for us.
