Dear MoveOn member,
If the final health care reform bill doesn't include a public option, it'll be because of conservative Senate Democrats like Blanche Lincoln.
After taking more than $700,000 from Big Insurance and HMO interests, she was one of just a handful of senators who vowed to filibuster health care reform until the public option was removed—and just Friday, she denounced it again.1
But now we've got a huge opportunity to replace her, and to send a powerful message to Washington that obstructing progressive legislation has heavy political costs.
She's up for reelection this year, and Bill Halter, the state's progressive lieutenant governor, is deciding right now whether to challenge her in the Democratic primary.2 Can you sign our petition to Bill Halter telling him we'll have his back if he decides to run?
Move-on "didn't get the memo," as they say. They represent about 20% of the voting population in general, but only about 10% of voters in Alabama and they think they have made "in-roads" in this very conservative state !! But the impossibility of their situation is not the point of this post. Rather, it is the fact that they are willing to devour one of their own.
Apparently, "now" is the time for the Progressive take over of America. Indeed, there has never been such an opportunity for this type of socialist, or so they to think and they intend to take full advantage of their circumstance.
We have heard talk before, talk of the "great importance" of a particular election BUT this time, that concern is for real. This is the most important election of our time. If things go the way they should, we can stop this ridiculous Progressive take-over of our country and, in 2012, we can finish the job.
Obama and his minions have made a number of serious mistakes. The most profound include Obama's over exposure coupled with a host of rhetorical positions that have proven to be inadequate or untrue. He is no more a leader of men than this editor is a beauty queen (apologies to Queer Nation) . He is over exposed and without integrity. His co-captains, Pelosi and Reid, have proven to be more dictatorial than anyone could have imagined. And now, all three are calling on their Democrat caucus to sacrifice themselves for a cause that will only be reversed if they should be successful. The GOP has made it clear that a forced health care bill will become fodder for the coming election.
As it turns out, the conservatives have an unwitting ally in MoveOn.org !! Welcome aboard. Together, we can destroy the liberal advantage in the House and for that, we "thank you."
Oh ------------------------------------ if anyone thinks the GOP has not been listening to its constituents, they have not been paying attention. "Amen" and "its about time," we say -- jds.
