OK, I called Boswell's office just now...our own garden variety Blue Dog.

[Skidmore]

Asked about his position on healthcare reform and he's for a public option but has "3-4 concerns about some proposals." I told the nice lady most of what I told Grassley's person. I told her that as far as I was concerned not reforming healthcare was not an option. That as a constituent who is barely able to keep coverage, I deserve representation too, as do my friends and family who have similar circumstances. That I expect him to vote for healthcare reform. I EXPECT it. That is why we sent him there.

Feel free to borrow and call your Blue Dog.

and I encourage others to do the same.
