The President points to outrageous premium hikes from health insurance companies, especially those already making massive profits, as further proof of the need for reform. Looking ahead to the coming bipartisan meeting on reform, the President urges members of Congress to come to the table in good faith to address the issue.
And Mr. President WE know the people want a Public Option..... so do about 20 Democratic Senators. I called my Senator's office yesterday. I also sent her a message from her web site. Mine is Claire McCaskill, she has come out in favor of the Public Option in the past. Right now she is out of the country visiting the troops, however the gentleman I spoke with said he would pass my message along.
This is what we need to be doing people, calling these Senator's Offices and letting them know how we feel. Even if they are a Rethug... let them hear from you... I know it seems like a useless call..but trust me .. those calls are logged and they will see how many are FOR the Public Option...
If they are open to ideas and if this letter is presented with enough signatures on Thursday, how can they refuse to at least discuss it? So the more we get on board for it the better. CALL....CALL....CALL.....

I called my Sen. Menendez yesterday. The poor guy is fighting off teabaggers who want him removed from office because he supports the HC bill!!! This country has to fight those morons, we have scream louder than they are! I'm calling Obamas office today too!
Thanks Sue, I know what you mean.. The Tea Baggers and the REthugs are relentless.. and we do just have to it seems scream louder.. however, I think it works better to speak softly and carry that big stick.. People pay more attention if we speak softly and use the power of the people who are speaking out now saying what they want in new polls which show they want the Public Option. That's how we win this.. Not by screaming and cursing louder.. but by speaking softly and carrying the big stick of public opinion. Ignore the tea baggers... they will soon be gone.. just a flash in the pan..
