Say NO to Obama's Snowe job
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.

Rachel Maddow: Strip Support from Dems Siding with Republican filibuster on Health Reform
(2 comments) Republicans are planning to use the Senate "filibuster" procedure to block a vote on health care reform. But if all Senate Democrats stick together,a clean up-or-down vote will take place.Let's send a clear message:It's not OK for Democratic senators to join with Republicans to block a vote on health care. Period.It's critical that Harry Reid sees immediate support for this idea: sign the petition tonight and tell your friends

Tell Obama: Stop the Democratic Senators kneecapping health care reform.
We know that Republicans will do anything it takes to defeat the public option, including using the filibuster in an attempt to prevent the full Senate from considering it. But Republicans lack the ability to sustain a filibuster in the Senate on their own. So any Democrat who joins a Republican filibuster of the public option would be validating and enabling bad faith Republican obstructionism.

Stop telling us "We don't have the votes!" GO GET THE VOTES!!!
(10 comments) Harry Reid, you're the Senate Majority Leader. Stop sniveling. Don't tell us that you don't have the votes. Go get the votes. That's your job. Try acting like LBJ instead of a jellyfish, and you'll be amazed at how much can be done with a little arm-twisting. And don't tell me that you need 60 votes to pass legislation in the Senate. The only reason that is the case is because you allow it to be the case. It doesn't...

On The AMA's Opposition To The Public Option
the AMA is just as much a relic of a by-gone era as the little black bag. The AMA always seemed more interested in the "town" side of the town-and-gown argument, and never really seemed like an advocate for patients, just an advocate for the highest possible reimbursement for docs.

If there was one official in the Department of Justice who did more than Alberto Gonzales to inject partisan politics into the supposedly impartial administration of our nation's laws, it was Hans von Spakovsky.He unapologetically and openly politicized the Department of Justice's Voting Rights Section. Senators on the Rules Committee should reject his nomination as a Federal Elections Commissioner.
