Join Senator Harry Reid NOW ... Don't delay!
Tuesday, October 27, 2009 at 19:03 Okay, now it’s ‘put up or shut up’ time. Get off your ass if you want the public option to be a viable part of the health insurance reform bill as it leaves the Senate.
Give Senate Majority Leader Reid the ammunition that he needs to make it so! Reid needs the support of each and every one of you that believe the public option to be the only way to level the playing field for American’s when it comes to health insurance.
He needs your voices, and signatures, to throw in the faces of the naysayers. Do it now!
(Links to the complete bills are given at the end of this post).
Read below and TAKE ACTION!:
Dear [Maven],
When I emailed last night, I told you we were working on ideas for mobilizing support for the bill I sent to the Congressional Budget Office yesterday. Well, we did just that and decided that the best way to build support in the Senate is for me to have as many signatures from as many Americans as possible that support health insurance reform with a public option.
This way, when I ask my colleagues to support a bill with a public option, I can tell them that it’s not just me asking, it’s me AND thousands of Nevadans - AND a majority of our fellow Senators - AND thousands of voters from their home state. To do this, I need you to add your voice to mine right away.
CLICK HERE TO SIGN MY PETITION FOR REFORM WITH A PUBLIC OPTION
If there’s one thing I’ve learned from being the Senate Majority Leader, it’s that we need strong grassroots momentum to win the support required to pass big legislation. Change isn’t easy. And big change is even more difficult. But we have the chance to deliver real health insurance reform this year, we just have to work together to convince every Senator we can that a vote for this bill is a vote on the right side of history.
Please, sign our petition today and tell your friends and family to add their names as well. Thanks so much for your support.
Together, we’ll get this done.
-Harry
And don’t tell me that you don’t know what the two Senate bills say, ‘cause here they are:
Senate HELP committee bill
Senate Finance committee bill
