This is an important week for health care as there is a strong effort to bring back the public option. Please read on. Also, note that the last email I sent had the wrong date for the meet the candidates night, so change your calendars.
Thanks.

1. Health Care isn't Dead, yet...
Senator Michael Bennet has written a letter calling for a PUBLIC OPTION. So far many Senators have signed. We need Specter and Casey to sign. Please call their offices to ask them to sign. Also, call Harry Reid to tell him to put this before the senate for vote which needs only 51 votes to pass. PLEASE CALL.
Senator Specter: 202-224-4254
Senator Casey: 202-224-6234
Senator Reid: 202-224-3542
Tell them you are a voter and you want the public option and they need to sign the Bennet letter.
