Get this, I'm visiting family in Nevada this week and one of the first commercials I see on tv is a shout out to Harry Reid's 'leadership on Healthcare.' The ad asks that voters call in to Harry's office to 'thank him' for said leadership. The organization paying for the ad? Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA)-- (Those specifically opposed to a Public Option.)
Yep, that's right, Big PhRMA, who adamently opposes a Public Option, is happy with the way our Senate Democratic Majority Leader is fighting for Healthcare.
Ladies and gentlemen, we've seen the enemy and it is us... (Or at least our fellow Democrats)
Please call his office and tell him what you think: 202-224-3542. I also personally promise to donate to any organization that creates an ad in response to this travesty. (And if anyone can find the ad online, or upload it, please share!)

I've got to be honest and say that if we don't get a public option on healthcare, I'm changing my registration to independent. I hope others will join me.
Best,
Dems
