4. I call and email the White House about this so much
I'm probably on a stalker watch list. I am very skeptical it will do any good but I'm still doing it. The reason I'm skeptical is I believe the administration will now try to make their bones as tough guys by saying how they stood up to their own party on health care reform. In other words the louder we scream now, the tougher they look. They can call this principled leadership while they sell the public down the river to enrich the insurance industry.

5. I've had that page bookmarked for months and use it often -
not just for health care although that's been what the majority of my emails have been about so far.

Sent one about an hour ago...

Thanks for posting the information - it's always helpful to have the reminder!

7. Been doing it for months, Thom.
As far as I can tell, all it's done is put me on their mass-mailing list - now I get White House spam . . . sigh.

I'm still trying, even if it's all going straight into the round file.

9. You mean rather than come here and bitch about it
when "it" most times is a lie to begin with? I agree, we either stand with the man or we stand against him and if you stand with him then let him and them know. If not then I don't care to hear the bitching. :hi:

12. 2 Birds with 1 stone, bitch here first then cut-&-paste the rant into the White House E-mail
See how easy that is? Just post what you think here first, then cut and past it into an E-Mail to the White House. If fact if you see someone else say it better than you could just ask their permission to quote them, or paraphrase from it possibly. You know something, the E-mail to the White House could be as simple as "Public Option, I want it."

13. Good idea
"Public Option, I want it." pretty much has it covered without having to wade through all the platitudes. I think our President would like that and would respond in kind. Seriously :toast:
good idea

11. Last time that I called the WH comments line,. the teeny bopper answering the
Edited on Sun Sep-06-09 12:49 PM by truedelphi
Comments laughed at me.

Obama KNOWS that the public option is needed. In fact, he knows how great Universal Single Payer would be. But he is all "We have a system already in place and have to work with that."

He can roast in HELL for all I care. The man he used to be is someone I greatly admire. The man who sold me out is someone I'd rather not think about.

17. Brother Neil?
Can you erase it...

It does give the names of your zips reps...cut and past to note pad and look up each one and send your "I'M MAD AS HELL"...

I live in Oregon and the three senators and one house came up - but the one to the House did not seem to work, so I just looked up his name on Google and emailed from there...

Try..try again...please
