We are "Fans" of a public option for health care. We are tired of delays, we are tired of ridiculous scare tactics, and we are tired of excuses. America needs a public option for health care -- and it's time for Americans to stand up and demand it.

A public option for health care.
Smita Apte Corpron
Congressman John Fleming ( Louisiana physician) has proposed an amendment that would require congressmen and senators to take the same healthcare plan they force on us (under proposed legislation they are curiously exempt). If Congress forces a plan on the American people, the lawmakers should have to accept the same l......evel of healthcare for themselves and their families. To do otherwise is hypocrisy!

Folks, here's a GREAT action from Working Assets, calling on Harry Reid to strip Lieberman of his chairmanship if he filibusters the public option.
Two things: 1) Lieberman apparently loves being chairman; 2) Working Assets is an awesome company, one that has supported progressive causes for years.
Sign the petition, s...how Working Assets some love, and... keep up the pressure on Senator Lieberman!

Sen. Lieberman has indicated he plans to join with Republicans to filibuster any health care bill that contains a public option. Alone, the Republicans don't have the votes for a filibuster. So by joining ...

23,000 pledgers, and $1.15 million in pledges against Lieberman if he filibusters a public option (see below)
A great start, but with Senator Lieberman still threatening to filibuster the final bill (see Politico article at http://Facebook.com/StopJoe), we need to turn up the heat.
Spread the word, get more pledgers, and... let's take this to $1.5 million!
Senator Lieberman is threatening to filibuster health care reform. By becoming a fan now, you are pledging to donate to his opponent in 2012, if he follows through on this threat. We are not looking for donations ourselves, nor will we accept them. But when 2012 rolls around, and his opponents have announced, we wi...ll remind you of your pledge, tell you which opponents are supportive of health care reform (with a public option) and ask you to follow through with them directly. $50 or higher is the suggested amount, but all we ask is that you pledge what you think you could actually give. Lower is fine, if $50 would cause a hardship, but if you can go higher, than please do. (FYI, in determining total projected pledges, we are using an estimate of $50 on average per pledger. Yes, some will be lower, and some will probably flake altogether. But... some will be higher, and out of the group as a whole, there will be undoubtedly be a few who will max out at $2,300+. And each $2,300 donor makes up for 45 pledgers who flake)

Salim This is a demo of the first e-health service (see http://www.senscare.com ) that really measures your physiological signals. It uses your webcam and transform it into a health sensor. Based on optical propagation in biological tissues, it captures skin reflected light to extract hemoglobin variations and thus cardiovascular activity.

"Now is the time for Senate Democratic leadership -- Senators Reid, Schumer, and Durbin -- to stop making excuses for Joe Lieberman...Any senator who filibusters the public option does not deserve a chairmanship and should be removed from his or her post."

Wow. Our new anti-Lieberman page, in support of a public option, (see below) just got some great coverage from MSNBC (click below to see the video).
After less than 72 hours, we're closing in on 8,000 pledgers, and an estimated $400K in pledges.

$100,000 pledged to defeat Lieberman? Maybe...
As
you might have seen earlier, we started a new Facebook page today: "If
Joe Lieberman filibusters health care, I will donate to his opponent."
Well, after just a few hours, we've already got 2,000 pledgers. Clearly, people are pissed.
By our estimate, that could well already... equate to $100K in donations. Check the link below for the full story...
