Sign Progressive Change Campaign Committee’s Petition to Pressure White House
It’s crunch time and reports have been confirmed that the Obama Administration favors Olympia Snowe style triggers rather than emphatically supporting what 70% of Americans want–a strong public option–it’s time for us to pressure the White House.
Today the Progressive Change Campaign Committee launched a new ad today asking Obama to fulfill the promises he made on the campaign trail. Holding out for one or two Republican senators so the White House can call a watered-down reform bill “bipartisan” is extremely short-sighted and won’t help any Democrats in the mid-term elections.
Sign the PCCC petition now. It’s important to get as many signatures on the petition by Monday as possible. Reid has been doing his part–rounding up Senate votes. Now it’s time for the White House to support Reid’s work in the Senate.
From PCCC co-founder Aaron Swartz:
Multiple media reports say that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is very close to rounding up the votes needed for a public health insurance option, but “the White House is pushing back against the idea” in order to get the support of Sen. Olympia Snowe (R-ME).
Tell the White House that the support of one Republican isn’t worth a bad bill. PLEASE SIGN OUR EMERGENCY PETITION TO PRESIDENT OBAMA TODAY:
“Every day, insurance companies deny care and let people die. Getting one Republican senator’s vote is not worth delaying reform — too many real lives are at stake. We need you to fight and state clearly that anything less than a strong public option is not change we can believe in.” Sign here.

We need the public option included in the bill. We cannot afford to wait!
