Blue America howieklein@aol.com These are the progressive members of Congress with the guts to stand up to Big Insurance, Big Pharma and to the pressure from their own party bosses. They stood with the American people and ordinary working families when push came to shove and both political parties decided propping up a disastrous health care system and a corrupt Insurance Industry was more important than keeping the promise made over and over to working families. These were the men and women who promised to vote against any health care reform bill that didn&#39;t include, at the minimum, a robust public option. 60 signed a <a href="http://campaignsilo.firedoglake.com/2009/08/17/60-members-of-congress-say-no-public-plan-no-conference/">letter to Secretary Sebelius</a> and 18 took the FDL Pledge. Democratic members of Congress need to understand that a healthcare reform bill with a Public Option is simply not an option-- it&#39;s a requirement. The congressmembers on this list have said in no uncertain terms that they will not vote for a bill without a public option all the way through Conference. That takes courage, and we need to show them how much we appreciate them for doing so. Please make a contribution-- and thanks for everything else you&#39;re doing for the public option. public true 427604.07 6944 450000.00 Blue America PAC false blueamericapac 5000.00 605661.15 14974
