Dear Friend,
During most of the health
care fight, we were told that the public option
was supported by a majority
of senators but lacked the 60 votes necessary
to overcome a
filibuster.
But now that reconciliation is on the table and the public
option can be
passed by a majority vote, the White House is saying the votes
aren't
there to pass it.
If President Obama thinks that some of the
senators who've claimed in the
past to support the public option have changed
their minds, he should
start naming names and tell us who they
are.
Just because the White House has given up and adopted a loser
mentality,
it doesn't mean we have to go along with it. The President should
give us
the names of Democrats who are allegedly flip flopping on the
public
option and let us hold their feet to the fire.
I just signed a
petition telling President Obama to do just that. I hope
you will,
too.
Have a look and take action at the link
below.
