I recieved an email from democrats.com today with a petetion for single payer to click and send. I clicked and I think we should keep pushing even as it appears a lost clause. Maybe we will get a stronger public option to get our foot in the door a little more. In addition I wrote an email to Baucus. Make the jump
I know that polite works better than snark but I was pushed over the edge. Here it is:
Senator Baucus
I want single payer for my grandkids and for generations unborn and for the homeless vets who sleep under the bridge nearby. Don't worry I take them a load of blankets from BIG LOTS every fall with a $5 bill tucked in each. You could have helped them more but you came up short, not in contributions in performance.
The anger over single payer among us war vets is thick enough to slice. We remember when it was defeated in 60's and 90's and now we can add the 00's. When I saw you say on teevee that maybe you should have left the single payer option in as tho it was merely an oversight I lost it. In addition you magnanimously dropped charges on the thirteen nurses and doctors you had arrested. What a guy!
I paid my American Express Credit Card $51.19 today. It was not due yet but I could not cancel it as long as there was a balance. In making the cancellation I mentioned your oversight on single payer and the $50,000 they gave to your campaign. I am not a constituent but a war buddy is and he is going to supply a vote and I am kicking in $50. Guess who gets them in your next election.
