I apologize if this has been diaried. I haven't seen it here. I'm a little surprised it hasn't put up here yet. I received an email from Democracy For America who is joining with the Progressive Change Campaign Committee asking everyone to add their name to their latest tv commercial effort.
WeWantThePublicOption.com has already collected over 17,000 names. The ad is targeting Democratic Senators basically asking them which side they are on.
According to the email from DFA, the ad will be run 100 times in Washington D.C. on the major cable news channels. Then the ad will be run in select markets targeting key Senators who refuse to come out in support of the public option. Apparently the plan is to rotate new names into the add to show as many names as possible reflecting the overwhelming support a public option has.
Clearly everyone here who supports a public option (hopefully all of you) should add their name to this project. It is so clear that this is what the majority of Americans want. Republicans have shown they are no longer interested in what the majority of Americans want. They have been proving that for years. It is time for the Democrats in Washington to make that decision.
