Check in here if you called your senators and representative and
asked them to vote against the health care bill if it has neither a public option nor Medicare buy-in.

1. Feinstien (D-War Profiteer)
and Radonovich (R-Entrenched) don't care what I think . . . they've proven that. I will, however, call Boxer's office.

14. Actually, Feinstein supports a public option, I believe.
I called Feinstein's office. Please call her right away.

15. Call the Republicans anyway. Let them know what you want.
Tailor your message. Let them know that some of us support a real health care reform.

7. Pleaded with Kerry's staff for him to come out against the bill and filibuster

Pleaded with the White House to not betray the American people this way.

Begged.

17. You have to use the redial. It took me a lot of dialing to get through.
If you are working, call and leave a message tonight or e-mail a strong message.

9. I write Mitchie McConnell all the time
Doesn't do any good. If my name was Mr. Humana, he would look up with his greedy hand out. Bunning is ridiculous and I wouldn't waste the time. I see Ben Chandler several times a year and have personally conveyed my feelings on this to him.

12. Wrote to Sherrod Brown...he looked so beaten yesterday
Edited on Wed Dec-16-09 04:54 PM by Zodiak
When he came out in support of the "good things" in the bill. He knew it was a piece of shit.

Strangely enough, if I want someone to kill the bill, I don't have to bother writing Voinovich

13. Inhofe and Coburn
No need for that call, but I did call Coburn's office and ripped them a new one about his little grandstanding stunt with Bernie's amendment. I wasn't too hard on the staffer but I bet he still didn't know which way to look. :grr:

22. I spoke to Boxer's office yesterday and was told she is a strong
supporter of the public option. I do not know what that will mean in the end.
