Arkansas Rep. Mike Ross woke up to some bad news today.
Ross - one of the main people trying to block the public option - claimed that he's doing so because his constituents doesn't support a public option.
Here's the bad news for Ross: a poll released yesterday by Daily Kos shows Ross's district supports a public option, 47% to 44%.1 So why doesn't Mike Ross support a public option?
Arkansas Sen. Blanche Lincoln and Rep. Mike Ross are doing the bidding of the insurance industry to block the public health insurance option. But a majority of all Arkansans, and 80% of Arkansas Democrats, support a public option. Lincoln and Ross are out of touch with their constituents, and out of touch with the Democratic Party.
We want to air this ad in Arkansas, where 60% of Arkansas Democrats statewide and nearly 100% of Democrats in Mike Ross's district will see it over and over again for two weeks on prime time network TV.
Let Blanche Lincoln and Mike Ross know that they need to stand with Arkansas Democrats on the public option -- or we'll find someone who will.
