The DCCC sent out an exceptionally well-done clip today pointing to the difference between Obama’s vision of Hope and the Republican vision of failure. Please take a look at it. There’s no doubt that the Republicans are on a mission to not just obstruct, but to undermine– everything, from health care reform to the economic recovery and even to the safety of the nation itself. The clip puts forth a strong message, a compelling message. But it just isn’t bipartisan enough. After all, it isn’t only Republicans who want the single most important piece of Obama’s change agenda– substantive health care reform– to fail. Plenty of Democrats get the exact same huge handouts from the exact same Medical-Industrial Complex and Big Insurance lobbyists and CEOs. And they will do anything to prevent single payer health care from passing– or even being brought into the discussion!
I’ve got the full story up at DownWithTyranny, but John called from the airport and asked me to remind everyone to please consider helping out with the Blue America initiative to save the public option. As John keeps pointing out, health care reform isn’t really a Republican vs Democratic issue; it’s an issue for the welfare of all American families– which is why a staggering 83% of Americans want the public option.
Blue America has launched this new campaign to persuade senators who routinely take a great deal of money from Big Insurance to work for their constituents, not for their campaign contributors. We are working with Brave New Films to put together a series of TV commercials that we will start running next month in Arkansas, home of two anti-reform Democrats, Blanche Lincoln and Mark Pryor. Please read more about the plan– and consider helping us put it into effect– here at our Blue America page.
