Do Your Part to Support the Public Option

After months of delay, the full Senate is about to debate and vote on landmark health care legislation. But first, Senator Harry Reid and Democratic leaders have a big decision to make:

Will the Senate consider real health care reform with a robust public health insurance option, or a watered-down compromise full of giveaways to the insurance companies?

This is a hugely important decision. Progressive champions in Congress are standing strong for the public option and Sen. Reid himself has expressed support—but he's under immense pressure from a few conservative obstructionists who oppose it.

Please sign Moveon.org's petition here. They will present it to Sen. Harry Reid and Democratic leaders.

Also, please call/email President Obama and your Congressional leaders. You can find their contact info here. The two minutes this takes can make a huge difference.
