This came today...
This past week, progressive heroes in Congress worked together with grassroots groups to create huge new momentum behind the public option.
First, 225,000 people signed a petition telling Democrats in Congress to pass the public option through "reconciliation," which only needs a simple majority to pass the Senate.
Then, freshman Reps. Jared Polis (D-CO) and Chellie Pingree (D-ME) embraced our cause and worked with grassroots groups to rally a whopping 100 House Democrats to sign a statement to Sen. Harry Reid calling for the public option. MSNBC, CBS, ABC, Huffington Post, and others reported on the momentum.

Rep. Alan Grayson (D-FL) boldly helped us deliver the first batch of petitions to Sen. Harry Reid and other senators, resulting in even more media momentum.
(To see Grayson join the PCCC, Democracy for America, and Credo Action for the delivery, check out the video here.
The more people sign our petition, the more our progressive heroes in Congress will feel empowered to fight for us.

Thanks for being a bold progressive.

Thanks for that information. We think alike; I’m a registered Democrat - I get all their stuff and the ACLU won’t leave me alone.
