they can use the discharge petition to push their bills through congress. if Kucinich were to get 218 signatures on a discharge petition he could force Pelosi to put the single payer bill up for an immediate house vote. That is how the McCain/Feingold campaign finance reform bill passed while Rs controlled the house.
