  • News: Joe Lieberman has said he will stand with the Republicans to filibuster a public option. Quick start running ads against him.

  • News: Harry Reid announced that a public option will be included in the Health Care Bill. Now we need all 60 Democratic Senators to vote I on cloture. So lets start calling Max Baucus, Ben Nelson, Kent Conrad, Bill Nelson, Mary Landrieu, Blanche Lincoln, Mark Pryor, and Mark Begich and tell them not to stand with Republicans on a filibuster.

  • Thank you for caring about this.

  • They are trying by every means possible to cure themselves, heal themselves with anything they can find out about that doesn't involve doctors, hospitals, tests, Western medicine, and so they die. Is this America, that roots for the underdog, that cares for "... the least of them..."? Remember, "What you do unto the least of them, you do unto me".

  • Obstruction kills, insurance companies=terrorists. We are having genocide in America. Every month is worse than September 11th.

    45,789 die each month: Harvard: because they have no health coverage.

  • Ancabamo, this is now clearly a civil rights movement.

  • If Harry Reid doesn't start insisting on THE PUBLIC OPTION he won't be re-elected.

  • Go Grayson! He's a new hotshot to follow. I'm impressed with him right away.

  • Last but defiantly not least

    To Harry Reid: You are up for reelection next year and you are down by 10% in the polls. Since you are the Democratic Senate Leader, Conservatives in Nevada will vote against you no matter what you do or don't do. So how about appealing to Progressives in Nevada and put a public option in this bill. Then Democrats will gain confidence in you and maybe just maybe you'll be able to stay in office.

  • To Joe Lieberman: You are the only member of congress from Connecticut who does not support a public option. Chris Dodd, John Larson, Joe Courtney, Rosa Delauro, Jim Himes and Chris Murphy all support it. You claim that you work across party lines to get things done and yet you won't work with your own party to get this one thing done. You said in an interview with Katie Couric that America's House is being threatened by fire and you were right and that fire now is lack of health insurance

  • To Ben Nelson: Health Care is not legitimate by how many votes it has it's legitimate by weather or not it has a public option. and where did you come up with 65 votes? Progressives are fed up with congress because they are sick and tired of filibusters. The American people elected 60 Democratic Senators, 257 Democratic Representatives, and a Democratic President and they expect them to get something done.

  • Message To certain Democrats

    To Max Baucus: In 1993 Senator Health Care Reform failed and the American people elected a Republican Congress if it fails again, they will do the same thing and you will lose your chairmanship of the Senate Finance Committee

  • 1911: You would have no problem shoving people into ovens!

  • Say NO to communist care!

  • Absolutely right. Thank you, for pointing this out.

  • because we don;t want this 2 trillion dollar CRAP bill!

  • Subscribed

  • Harry Reid is too much in the pocket of the Insurance Companies - If he doesn't support this he must be defeated in his next election.

  • I Removed mylast comment. A bit tasteless.  Sometimes I have to keep the anger and vitriol in check and keep some manners.

  • Comment removed

  • These guys are still buying the Reaganomic's Corporate Whore line about big Government and taxes...a line spewed out by the same people who have sent jobs offshore and crippled American Industry.  They've been brainwashed so cleanly they haven't a brain left.

  • Conrad is a toadie and Reid is afraid of his own shadow. Grayson rocks, he's my new hero.

  • Gerrymandering = no representation. The "I" think bill should not exist. It's the "We" think ammendment that should go forth. Up and Down protects the bullshit legislation proposed by special interest.

  • What difference will it make if I don't get a job! Eliminate taxes so I can SURVIVE, NOT THE DAMN GOVERNMENT! I CAN'T PRINT MY OWN MONEY!

  • Lieberman has been pro-War and anti-Healthcare; he is not a progressive nor is he a true Democrat in spirit - Lieberman was beat in the Democratic primary by the voters and still ran; the people of Connecticut should boost him out and elect a true Democrat and progressive to represent their state and Lieberman should be stripped of all influence or positions of power in the Senate by the Majority Democrats - they don't need him. This will reduce his ability and make Conn realize their mistake.

  • Now we'll see what the most effective way of influencing legislators might be. Should we petition our grievances like good citizens or should we go in person to 'town hall' meetings, scream and disrupt proceedings like those on the right wing fringe.

    I hope our way produces better results. I'll be waiting to see which way the legislators prefer.

  • We'll have to start calling Senator Conrad "Poodle Boy."

  • f* lieberman

  • I agree! f* him! Dems need to grow a f*in spine!
