We want healthcare reform. Call Speaker Nancy Pelosi and President Obama and Sen Reid and politely tell them that we want, we need and we voted you to get a HCR bill through.
Either
a) Put the senate bill through and do the fixes through reconciliation
b) Start afresh with the fixes after Sen Naked Scottie is seated , but use reconciliation.
But we want HCR. Yesterday's vote was not a referendum on whether to kill HCR or not. Sure Most MA voters are confused and sent a kill-the-bill-guy to DC but most Americans want HCR.
SO DO NOT KILL THE BILL.
DO NOT KILL THE BILL.
DO NOT KILL THE BILL.
We want HCR. We have fought and waited our asses off for this and we are not about to let it go for another generation.

Write LTEs to your local newspapers on this issue.Lets coalesce on this most important issue of our lives.
We lost Ted Kennedy's seat. Let's not lose an issue he fought for all his life.
[in 1971], Nixon asked Congress to require for the first time that all companies provide a health plan for their employees, with federal subsidies for low-income workers. Nixon was particularly intrigued by a new idea called health maintenance organizations, which held the promise of providing high-quality care at lower prices by relying on salaried physicians to manage and coordinate patient care.
At first, Kennedy rejected Nixon’s proposal as nothing more than a bonanza for the insurance industry that would create a two-class system of health care in America. But after Nixon won reelection, Kennedy began a series of secret negotiations with the White House that almost led to a public agreement. In the end, Nixon backed out after receiving pressure from small-business owners and the American Medical Association. And Kennedy himself decided to back off after receiving heavy pressure from labor leaders, who urged him to hold out for a single-payer system once Democrats recaptured the White House in the wake of the Watergate scandal.
