REPOST
The Democrats who’ve said — either in interviews or press releases — that they’re opposing the HCR bill include: 15 so far
Members of Congress need to hear from you. Lieberman may have wanted Medicare buy in and HCR before he didn’t; he is now showing how Politicians can easily put aside the rights of their constituents and fellow Americans. We need to get Progressive Democrats to Unite and push pass and shove a Bill toward our President’s desk that has been a long time in the making and one that can change not just health care, it will create jobs, will not kill grandma and will definitely need to be adjusted frequently.
The number to the Congressional switch board is 202-225-3121. If you get a busy signal, don’t be discouraged. Keep dialing.
