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 [...]

Public Option Supporters, Call Senator Harry Reid Today!
And tell him to support the public option. The majority of Nevadans support the public option and more than 80% of Nevada democrats support the public option.

FDL Action Health Care Highlights for Tuesday, October 20
I had an interesting conversation with someone working on The Hill today about Harry Reid’s leadership style and the current political climate. I’ll be writing a longer post about that in the next few days, but I did want to make one point. It’s clear to me that the Obama Administration is not [...]
Interview with Senator Harry Reid about Health Care Reform
Last Thursday, I sent four questions to Senator Harry Reid through Erin Skinner Cochran, a member of Reid’s New Media team. Understandably, it took a few days for Reid’s office to respond thanks to Reid’s singular role in the health care reform battle.
I received Reid’s answers to my original questions today and have printed [...]
Bill Moyers Exposes Dick Armey and FreedomWorks
What Will Keep Harry Reid from Re-election?

It would also provide some protection for people with incomes from 300 percent to [...]

Time for Titus and Berkley To Take The Public Option Pledge
Titus and Berkley are not members of the Progressive Caucus but I don’t care. It’s time to choose sides. Progressives helped get them elected. We raised money for them, blogged for them, attended their events, and voted for them.
77% of Americans indicated support for a public option in today’s Survey USA poll. [...]
Health Care Reform: No Carrots for Nevada Democrats
There is not one Nevada Democratic legislator on this list created by ActBlue so there will be no carrots ($$) for Dina Titus or Shelley Berkley. Berkley and Titus are not progressive members of Congress “…with the guts to stand up to Big Insurance, Big Pharma and to the pressure from their own party [...]
Harry and Louise Stand Up For Health Care 15 Years Later
A lot if you chickadees who read this blog might not remember the Harry and Louise ads (not be confused with Thelma and Louise) that helped derail the Clinton’s plans for overhauling health care in 1993, but I do ( well, pretty much anyway). Well, a bunch of concerned non-profits remember the Harry and Louise [...]
