DON'T GIVE UP ON HEALTHCARE REFORM! YesWeStillCan.org - Petition for the Public Option. Sign NOW.
"YesWeStillCan.org will air this TV ad in DC: a version will also air in Wisconsin, to encourage Sen. Russ Feingold to be a public-option hero. I don't know how to post video, but you can see it here, and sign the petition:

http://yeswestillcan.org/
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=acc6Wn_BWlk&feature=player_embedded#

PETITION TO CONGRESS & THE PRESIDENT:
"Any health care bill without a public option is not change we can believe in."

-edit-

The YesWeStillCan.org petition has been signed by over 600 Obama campaign staffers, 40,000 Obama volunteers, and 60,000 Obama donors.

Obama promised a public option (July 17, 2009)

"Any plan I sign must include an insurance exchange -- a one-stop shopping marketplace where you can compare the benefits, costs, and track records of a variety of plans -- including a public option to increase competition and keep insurance companies honest."

Obama said mandates weren't the answer (February 5, 2008)

"I mean, if a mandate was the solution, we can try that to solve homelessness by mandating everybody to buy a house. The reason they don’t buy a house is they don’t have the money."

6. Thanks; I believe I've already signed this one, but I'll K&R it.
However, the link you gave comes up with, "This is not configured as a public page." Please check it.
