As of today the number of calls or attempted alls from public option supporters has topped 300,000. Congress beginning to listen to the people and not to a fringe group. Also the mainstream media is paying attention to the milions of dollars paid to our elected officials in both parties by health care and pharma lobbyists to defeat a health care ... See Morethat benefits the people rather than the corporations for a change.
They did a story last night on former Congressmen who, after helping defeat health care in other administrations let to take four figure jobs in that industry.

Caring for our own is the right thing to do. No one should lose their home because of medical bills and that is happening every day. Mike Tucker: I hope you have the same insurance as your senators, otherwise it could happen to you too... but not if the public gets an option!

My 3 were made! Woohooo!

no one cares screw obama

Clearly at least 100,000 people care.

I care.

I care too. I made my calls.

136,537 people care enough to call. I'm one of them.

The point is to take action, big or small to make your voice heard. The point is to care about others. The point is to think outside one's own world. The point is to be a mature, intelligent, informed American.

I want to add that I understand someone feeling "what's the point". Just yesterday I felt the same way. Really bummed out about how things are going. So I get that. But today I feel different. My voice may be small on it's own but joined with the thousands of others...I can make a difference. I do hope others who feel there is no point to this will feel inspired to speak up as well.

Yes, Patty, Maria and Jay all support the public option - but call anyway! They need to hear from supporters, not just the opponents!

Thanks Judy - I just called =)

Maria supports the bill approved by the finance committee and supports the public option. However, she will not confirm whether she supports Obama's bill. Keep calling.

I am so glad that moderate America is finally finding its collective voice. I'm hoping it has an effect on our lawmakers.

We must make health care affordable to all. Keep working on it ! Thank you for all dealing with all the headaches the process of change is giving you.
