Pro-Action on Healthcare reform
Let us be honest here. The only people who can take any kinds of proactive action on the Healthcare reform bill are those with Senators who are against the Public Option.

Lets be further honest. The only people who can take option are those who have democratic senators against the public option.

Even further honesty, unless your democratic Senator who is against the public option is up for re-election in 2010 there is limited action you can take.

This isn't an election. Republicans are not going to vote for a public option. It will not happen. You can send an army of people to their office, they are going to hold their ground on this. This is the declared party's strategy.

That is just the fact. Unless you are a big time democratic donor, people who you cannot vote for, do not give a flying fuck what you think on a bill.

So for those who are calling for action. What specific action would you like people to take?
