Robert Reich urges us to march on D.C. for the public option. Dean sends out

[cali]

an email urging us to fight for the public option. The Progressive Caucus says they'll continue to fight for the public option. Dennis says forget it, it's hopeless.

That's just not helpful.

1. Thaat's OK; I've forgotten Dennis.

3. I WANT to March

I just don't know how to get it started. I think I'm just going to go down to Capitol Hill the Sunday before Labor Day - and send out press releases I'm doing it. A one woman march to make my government do the right thing.

You want to go? I'm a marketing/go-to-market/product person. I know how to raise hell, send out a solid press release, get the attention - even if it's negative.


I'm all for a March. Anyone reading this that wants to join me, send me a PM.

4. Reich is organizing a march for September 13

And I wish I could go but I'm catering a wedding rehearsal dinner.

5. I'll fly to DC for a march for the public option. nt

6. Coordination is key

Mad As Hell for Healthcare (or something similar) is caravaning across the country to arrive in DC on 9/30.

7. I don't understand what his thought process was on that.

8. Good on Robert Reich! Why is

Dennis being so negative..I thought his job was to encourage activism for what you want in Gov?

10. If they do it, I will be there.

Me, my husband and my 3 year old son will be part of the crowd.

On edit: dang it! This is my husband's account. Anyway TeamTodd will be there! ~ Rubyduby in GA

14. I sent an email to Mr. Reich

[e-mail]

Offering help and to march. Maybe he can use my guerilla warfare marketing experience. Send him an email and tell him you will come if you can!

11. I will come up from Florida for a march.

I wonder if a March for a public option or single payer would get the same type of coverage as the tea baggers? Doubt it.

12. Seriously not helpful...

...given the anemic public option that is being proposed, and that is already imperiled, what Reich and Dean *should* be doing is encouraging us to demand HR676!

13. Not Dennis Kucinich!

And if he does, perhaps he has some insight. He should have been President!
Dennis will vote for the Public Option, but not vote if there is no Public Option.
He's on our side. Don't write him off, he is merely stating what he sees, from his experience in the House.

15. Nice deadend statement from him..

I say Dennis is wrong.

[cali]

16. I'm not writing him off. I'm stating that his comment wasn't helpful

and I don't think he's the only member of Congress who has insight.
