Of course, I expect anyone reading this blog to have at least left support for the public option on the White House Web site. You can also leave a message of support at Health and Human Services, but there is no actual place to comment, only an indication of support by leaving name, address, etc. But here's a sneaky way of getting the message across. Where it says name, type in PUBLIC OPTION. Where it says address type in PUBLIC OPTION, etc. etc.

Remember it was Kathleen Sebelius who suggested the public option was no big deal and could be taken out with the trash. So go on over to: < http://www.healthreform.gov/support.html> and leave your comments. I finished by leaving my actual phone number and email address. Pass this on.

We're having a huge effect on the debate. We have to keep it up.

One more thing. The Senate Finance Committee is still in the 19th Century. No email address. Their phone number is (202) 224-4515

HOWEVER, you can leave messages for individual members whose links are on the Senate Finance Committee Web site. It's a bit of a chore, but you have go Google their positions on the public option so you can properly tailor your message. For example Grassley is a stuck-in-concrete Mr. No. He needs a strong message of support for the public option, not that it will move his sorry ass. Rockefeller is a big supporter of the public option. Thank him.
