I got an email from Senator Schumer

[HopeOverFear]

Dear XXXXX,

I wanted to give you quick update about our work to pass a public health care option.

My amendment to add a public option to the Senate Finance Committee bill came up just two votes short of being adopted by the full committee this afternoon.

This is unfortunate news but not a surprise. Remember, the Senate Finance Committee is more conservative than the Senate as a whole. And 4 out of 5 Congressional committees with jurisdiction over health care reform have passed a public option.

This is the opening day of our fight, and I will continue to work to improve the health care reform bill as we take the legislation to the Senate floor.

The more the people hear the facts about the public option, the more they support our efforts. We must continue to work together and speak out. If we continue to fight, I am confident we will pass health care reform with a robust public option.

Sincerely,

Chuck

Chuck Schumer
U.S. Senate

1. I got it too. He also just appeared on MSNBC saying the PO isn't

dead and that they will continue to fight for it.

2. Chuck, are you calling Bacus, Conrad and Lincoln CONSERVATIVES?

Heh.

I couldn't agree more.

Well-played.

6. I'd like to get emails from the Senator

Thanks for posting that email! Do you often get such messages? I checked out his schumer (dot) senate (dot) gov site, but to no avail. Anyone know how to sign up for emails from Chuck Schumer?
