I Just Called The White House To Give My Support For The Dems.......

[global1]

to go it alone - forget about the Repugs - they weren't going to get on board anyway - and get this health reform passed with a 'strong public option'.

I encourage everyone here to call the WH at 1-202-456-1111 and do the same. We called them when we were unhappy with what they were doing - now we should call them to give them our support for finally doing what we sent them to Washington D.C. for.

1. I e-mailed them

I have a feeling this is still a trial balloon. We need to give it some lift. You can be sure they're hearing from the other side.

2. Busy.

I'll keep trying, though.

3. I'm going to call them and congratulate them for.......

...... the brilliant way they've been playing this ....... for the last seven months. ;)

4. I finally got through this morning myself

I've been trying for three days on and off. I had to hold for about a half an hour to get an operator. We need to all tell the President to Fight for Us

5. Wrote whitehouse, Sen Feinstein, and LTTEs per Rep McNerney's office request.

Boxer's on board but I think I'll write her a big thank you.

We need to participate in our democracy.

Especially at times like this.

6. Thanks, but it takes forever to get through on the phone.

Sent email. Again.

Please don't let Americans suffer by requiring Republican support. Please ensure that a healthcare bill is passed with a strong public option. (Single payer would be best, of course!). Please stop bleeding Americans with more giveaways to Pharma and Insurance Cos. Without a strong public option, that's all this healthcare reform bill would be. Do whatever it takes. Pull a Lyndon Johnson move. If you don't, we can only believe you're onboard with the Republican Congress and the industries who support them and only want to continue to bleed America.
