Raul M. Grijalva I'm quoted in a CongressDaily article about the challenges facing Democratic leaders in the final weeks of health care reform.

www.nationaljournal.com
Having upset her liberal base with one trade-off after another before finally passing the House's healthcare bill with just two votes to spare, Speaker Pelosi moves to a bigger test: keeping her fragile Democratic coalition together.

Dear Congressman Grijalva, Ever since Pelosi said impeachment of treasonous Bush was 'off the table' she lost credibility. NO vote without Public Option. If there is no Public Option, no mandatory purchase of insurance from useless, crooked, bloody corporations.

Raul M. Grijalva The New York Times interviewed me for story about President Obama's first year in office.

So far, it is safe to say that President Obama is an activist with an appetite for transformative ideas even as he avoids defining them, or himself, too sharply.

Rep. can you use Stupak to get the more progressive agenda pushed? It seems like he doesn't have enough votes to block the bill from being brought to the floor...unlessa block of progressives join him. He's not an ideal ally but you can use him for our cause. Tell Pelosi you will join him in preventing the bill from being submitted to the floor unless the Kucinich amendment and the robust public option are reinserted. Is that possible? It's time to play hardball. Please!
